The name of this doctrine please and what it actually is. |
Doctrine - Auftragstaktik (excuse the spelling), Mission Tactics or Directive Control
In mission-type tactics the commander gives their subordinate leaders a clearly defined goal and the resources needed to accomplish that goal with a time within which the goal must be reached. The subordinates then implement the order independently. The subordinate leader is given, to a large extent, the planning initiative and a freedom in execution which allows flexibility in execution.
