A Bias for Action: The German 7th Panzer Division in France & Russia 1940-1941
Abstract
With this issue, The Marine Corps University inaugurates
a new series of scholarly papers on warfighting. The series is
called Perspectives on Warfighting and the first paper is Professor
Stolfi's revealing study, "A Bias For Action." We hope and believe that "A Bias For Action" will be of immediate
use to Fleet Marine Force organizations, especially those
that are deployed. Professor Stolfi's research adds an additional
and essential dimension to the Marine Corps' high-tempo maneuver
warfare doctrine, set forth in FMFM-1, Warfighting. Such doctrine
requires the most imaginative commanders and thoroughly
trained cohesive units if it is to be effective. Professor Stolfl
searches the record of units in combat to find the organizational
and personal characteristics that maneuver warfare demands.
