The approach outlined in this manual is consistent with previous
Canadian doctrine but builds upon it with new and innovative ideas and
concepts. It is different in five main ways. First, the doctrine requires an
understanding of the operational level in order to participate as part of a joint
and combined force. Secondly, it steers the army toward an approach to
winning which is consistent with allied doctrine yet retains a distinctive national
flavour. This approach is based on manoeuvre warfare theory and seeks to
shatter the enemy's cohesion through a series of rapid, violent, and unexpected
actions that create a turbulent and rapidly deteriorating situation with which he
cannot cope. Thirdly, it introduces six combat functions that are applicable
across the spectrum of conflict and represent the purest expression of the
components of combat power. Fourthly, it introduces operational level doctrine
for the conduct of operations other than war. Finally, it emphasizes a
philosophy of command based on the disciplined use of initiative guided by an
understanding of the higher commander’s intent. This philosophy is a
prerequisite for implementing the Canadian approach to operations, and for
coping with high-tempo operations amidst the friction, chaos, uncertainty and
violence of combat.
