Maj Ian T. Brown, "John Boyd, the U.S. Marines, and Maneuver Warfare"
2021-01-27
Maj Ian T. Brown is a CH-53E pilot by trade, with experience in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the INDO-PACOM region. He’s also written extensively on maneuver warfare, military history, and future war, including the book A New Conception of War, published with Marine Corps University Press in 2018. He holds a master’s in military history from Norwich University. Today he’s going to talk a little about the story he covered in his book – we’ll explore the conflict ideas of Air Force colonel John Boyd, the “intellectual renaissance” that took place inside the Marine Corps after the Vietnam War, and how those two threads converged in the official adoption of maneuver warfare as the Marine Corps’ philosophy of conflict, as well as the continued relevance of these ideas today.
His book "A New Conception of War" can be found here: https://www.usmcu.edu/Portals/218/ANewConceptionOfWar.pdf?ver=2018-11-08-094859-167
