Up until the Nineteenth Century , many military tactics were confined to Battlefield concerns, such as how to best maneuver units during combat in open terrain. In current military thought, tactics comprise the Operational Use Of Forces in a particular combat situation. Tactics may be contrasted with Military Strategy , which is concerned with the overall means and plan for achieving a long-term outcome. Specialized tactics exist for many situations, ranging from securing a Room or individual building, to large-scale operations such as establishing Air Superiority over a region. Today, military tactics are employed at all levels of command, from individual and group up to entire armed forces. Indeed, the units used in warfare have always been a reflection of current military tactics, and their size and composition have varied accordingly. In British terminology, military tactics involving naval forces are often called '' Naval Tactics '' (cf. usage of Military ). Common military tactics include Frontal Assault s, attempts to Flank the enemy, keeping troops in reserve and the use of Ambushes . Often deception in the form of Camouflage , or misdirection using Decoy s, are used to confuse the enemy. BIBLIOGRAPHY
