Nice article. I read EG in high school and I'm Marine now, but never thought about EG as a primer on it. Depending on what experience kids have, maneuver warfare can be a difficult concept to grasp. But once understood, it can be applied widely (e.g. to business). For example, in my current startup I may not have the technical background, but I've found ways to compete anyway. Another example is where Malcolm Gladwell describes Col Van Riper's exploits in his book Blink.

Anyway, I have friends who are ROTC instructors and forwarded this article to them. MCDP 1 (Warfighting) is dry, so EG is a fun (though shallow) primer to discuss. It should also make the concepts in Warfighting easier to visualize for someone without any concept of asymmetric warfare.

To respond to some of the comments, maneuver warfare isn't a new concept but it’s obvious it's not well understood, particularly in business. Another useful military idea to apply to business is the OODA loop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop).
