Book excerpt: Operational maneuver provides operational protection to maritime forces when maneuver is used to expand the area, factor space, vulnerable to attack by the maritime force. Operational maneuver forces the enemy to respond to threats throughout its territory and littoral. The response will degrade the enemy's ability to concentrate forces against the maritime force. The enemy's ability to conduct and sustain offensive operations against the maritime force is reduced and the security of lines of operation and logistic sustainment is increased. This allows the maritime force to concentrate its forces against the enemy when conditions are favorable. The commander's ability to sustain the initiative and control the littoral provides the freedom of action to conduct follow on and support operations against the enemy. Through the utilization of maneuver and the resulting effects maneuver places on the enemy, operational protection is effectively provided to the maritime force.
