	Maneuver Warfare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Maneuver warfare is a warfighting philosophy that seeks to shatter the enemy’s cohesion through a variety of rapid, focused, and unexpected actions which create a turbulent and rapidly deteriorating situation with which the enemy cannot cope.
		The aim is to render the enemy incapable of resisting effectively by shattering his moral, mental, and physical cohesion--his ability to fight as an effective, coordinated whole--rather than to destroy him physically through incremental attrition.
		Maneuver relies on speed, the ability to focus efforts for effect, and surprise.

	Valsalva Maneuver \| AHealthyMe.com
		The Valsalva maneuver is used with patients who have suspected heart abnormalities, often in conjunction with echocardiography.
		The maneuver is based on the fact that when a patient forcibly exhales against a closed nose and mouth while bearing down, as if having a bowel movement, specific changes occur in blood pressure and the rate and volume of blood returning to the heart.
		The Valsalva maneuver should not be performed on patients who have severe coronary artery disease, have experienced recent heart attack, or where there is a moderate to severe reduction in blood volume.

		Adson's maneuver, a test for thoracic outlet syndrome: with the patient in a sitting position, hands resting on thighs, the examiner palpates both radial pulses as the patient rapidly fills the lungs by deep inspiration and, with breath held, hyperextends the neck and turns the head toward the affected side.
		Allen's maneuver, with the forearm flexed at a right angle, the arm is extended horizontally and rotated externally at the shoulder, the head being rotated to the contralateral shoulder; obliteration of the radial pulse suggests scalenus anterior syndrome.

		Nevertheless, freedom of maneuver at sea worked its magic, by tying down Rebel forces along the long Confederate coastline when the local citizenries induced the Richmond government to override military necessity and assign troops to static defense when these forces were badly needed to the north.
		Maneuver warfare is not bloodless warfare: it is swift movement to successive positions the loss of which will hurt the enemy badly.
		In modern naval tactics, maneuver by a formation of fighting ships and aircraft is subordinated to the maneuvers (or movements) of the missiles or torpedoes they fire.18 What is more, battles are won by out-scouting the enemy and concealing not only one's formations but one's intentions.

	The Heimlich Maneuver for Asthma
		Pushing up on the diaphragm with the Heimlich maneuver compresses the lungs, expelling trapped air and the flow carries away mucous plugs, thus clearing the airway and ending the asthma attack.
		In performing the maneuver, you press up on the diaphragm, which compresses the lungs, causing a flow of air that expels a choking object that is blocking the airway.
		The maneuver in drowning is recommended by the National Pool and Water Park Assn. (Ellis and Associates), which certifies lifeguards to use it as the first step in treating drowning victims.

		During the test, researchers told patients to begin the maneuver when blood pressure began to fall and syncope symptoms such as lightheadness and nausea appeared.

		On 27-JAN-99 there were five Up maneuvers scheduled for the walkout phase of aerobraking, but due to a 0.6 m/s glide slope trim maneuver that occurred on 28-JAN-99, one of the five planned walkout maneuvers was deleted.
		Because of the 0.60 m/s glide slope trim maneuver that occurred this morning, one of the original 5 ABM walkout maneuvers was deleted.
		These maneuvers are analogous to a plane coming in for a landing; the rate of altitude loss is gradually decreased until the pilot executes a flare just before the plane touches down on the runway.

	Project on Defense Alternatives - Maneuver Warfare Principles and Terms
		The three basic principles of maneuver warfare are: (1) identify and target enemy centers of gravity, (2) set and maintain favorable terms of battle, and (3) find and exploit "gaps" in enemy strength.
		Centers of gravity exist at every level of war, and the epitome of maneuver is for a unit to upset an enemy center at one or more levels higher than its own level of organization, and to do so with minimal combat.
		The three aspects of maneuver operate together to achieve disproportionate effects, in the following fashion: centers of gravity define the objective, the imperative to find and exploit "gaps" defines the approach to the objective, and setting the terms of battle facilitates the effort overall while controlling for enemy counter-initiatives.

	Heimlich maneuver
		The Heimlich maneuver is an emergency procedure for removing a foreign object lodged in the airway that is preventing a person from breathing.
		The theory behind the Heimlich maneuver is that by compressing the abdomen below the level of the diaphragm, air is forced under pressure out of the lungs dislodging the obstruction in the trachea and bringing the foreign material back up into the mouth.
		To apply the Heimlich maneuver to oneself, one should make a fist with one hand and place it in the middle of the body at a spot above the navel and below the breastbone, then grasp the fist with the other hand and push sharply inward and upward.

	Development of Countermeasures for Driver Maneuver Errors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This report was produced as part of a contract "Determine Causes of Driver Maneuver Errors," which called for a sequence of analytic and empirical research efforts in order to understand where and when drivers suffer misperceptions that lead to driving maneuver errors.
		Drivers may err in thinking there is more time available for the maneuver than is actually the case; or err in thinking the maneuver takes less time to execute than it actually does.
		This misjudgment is safety-critical, because driver perception that a maneuver will take less time than is actually the case may lead to decisions to accept maneuver opportunities that actually afford a smaller margin of error than the driver perceives.

	Air Power--Maneuver Element Or Pretender?
		It doesn't matter whether we are talking of positional, attrition, maneuver, or any other classification of warfare--when the enemy either quits in confusion or dies by gunshot the maneuver element occupies his spaces.
		It is not the ability to maneuver per se which defines a maneuver element, but the ability to take possession of the enemy's space or prevent him from occupying one's own.
		With two distinct two-star level maneuver elements within the MEF we have, de facto, a corps-- and a corps is commanded by a lieutenant general.

	Maneuver and Strategy
		There is another popular use of the term, simply meaning movement, but I don't think that is a very good use of it, and I will not use maneuver to mean plain movement.
		Preemption and dislocation are two ways to do the same sort of thing, and in the case of a surprise attack against a lightly defended area it can be difficult to decide which is which.
		Even in attrition warfare we will find scope to use maneuver, if only as a method of transforming our advantages to be better able to kill the enemy, and we must remember that disrupted enemies are much easier to kill.

		The word "flat" refers to the orientation of the maneuver flow with the horizon…the flat scissors is flown more or less with the plane of motion (POM) being level with the horizon.
		In this maneuver, the pilot attempts to fly at minimum speed to produce the least forward movement and smallest turning radius relative to the other aircraft.

		Neither group has yet approved the Heimlich maneuver as a first response for treating a drowning victim who isn't breathing.
		Currently he is studying whether the Heimlich maneuver can help bring an asthmatic person out of a severe attack.
