[edit] Mission tactics is a misnomer

Excellent article, generally. I would like to make one addition, though.

Semantically, mission tactics is a misnomer. It is not a tactic the way, say, encirclement or flanking is. It is more of a leadership philosophy. I think it is useful to make this distinction so I edited that.

Sensemaker

Agree with your observation. I think that the title is a valid transaltion of Auftragtaktik so there is some basis for the name. The name also is a plural perhaps suggesting a group of tactics or a doctrine. That all said i agree that it is perhaps an implementation of a philosophy which is perhaps not clearly the case with 'encirclement'. However, I guess a philosophy may lie behind those other 'tactics' but they just seem like 'common sense'. Like your changes. Facius 10:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Format

Any chance someone could tweak the text a little bit so it could be divided up into sections? Right now it flows continuously so that I couldn't find any logical places to break it up. --maru (talk) contribs 02:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
