"This manual is designed for all tactical leaders ... Tactics is consonant with FMFM 1, Warfighting, and FMFM 1-1, Campaigning. It presumes an understanding of the warfighting philosophy, applying it specifically to the tactical level. Like FMFM 1, it is not prescriptive but descriptive, providing guidance in the form of concepts and values. This manual illustrates a philosophy for waging war and winning combat." -- pages [i-ii].

Work Description

"This publication is a revision of Fleet Marine Force Manual 1-3, Tactics, of 1991 and supersedes it. Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 1-3 fully retains the spirit, scope, and basic concepts of its predecessor. MCDP 1-3 further develops and refines some of those concepts; in particular, a new chapter has been added on exploiting success and finishing, and some of the original material has been reorganized and expanded ... Presuming an understanding of maneuver warfare, MCDP 1-3 applies it specifically to the tactical level of war ... This publication establishes the Marine Corps' philosophy for waging and winning battles." -- pages [ii-ii].
