	Brusilov Offensive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was a major offensive against the armies of the Central Powers on the Eastern Front, launched on June 4, 1916 and lasting until early August.
		The French were still fighting at Verdun, the British faced a German offensive along the Somme and the Italians were under pressure from the Austrian Trentino offensive.
		All forces involved were becoming spent and the offensive finally died down in late September and ended as Russian forces had to be transferred to help Romania which entered the war at the time and was being overrun by German forces.

	Tet Offensive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Viewed from a historical distance, the Tet Offensive is also a major example of the value of propaganda and media influence in the pursuit of military objectives, a central tenet of late 20th-century and early 21st-century modern warfare, especially with respect to terrorism.
		In the months prior to the Offensive, U.S. and ARVN military intelligence observed signs of a major military buildup: "In October the number of trucks observed heading south on the Ho Chi Minh trail jumped from the previous monthly average of 480 to 1,116."[4] In November this number was 3,823 and in December, 6,315.(op.cit.
		The effect of the offensive of U.S. public opinion surprised the NLF and DRVN leaderships, particularly as their strategic aims were restricted to effects on the social situation in Vietnam.

	Military Thought: Tactics as the art of offensive
		The troops on the offensive deliver blows with all means at their disposal and use the results to swiftly move into the enemy deployment, destroy and capture manpower, machines and equipment, and occupy key objects and areas.
		An offensive became more resolute thanks to the massive use of artillery (160 to 180 guns per one kilometer of the frontline); softening-up process; gases; ramming tank thrust; greater aviation involvement to support the land forces on the offensive; infantry attacks behind the moving barrage; a greater role of night action.
		Resolute offensive actions, high pace of breakthroughs, pursuit of the retreating enemy, and forcing water obstacles without stopping were made possible by the improved methods of destruction by fire and artillery and offensive actions of aviation.

	Tet Offensive, Vietnam 1968
		A major problem faced by NAVFORV intelligence was the inability of Allied naval patrol forces to significantly interdict enemy logistic activity along the rivers and coast of the RVN, with the likely exception of large vessels approaching from the open sea.
		COMNAVFORV and his intelligence organization were surprised by the intensity, coordination and timing of the Tet Offensive, as evidenced by Admiral Veth's presence at his residence during the first wave of attacks on Saigon.
		Of the many factors that led to the intelligence community's surprise at the offensive, the misguided belief that enemy forces would not run the risk of attacking the cities and towns of the RVN is paramount.

		The deception techniques and offensive combined-arms tactics begun by General Zhukov at Nomonhan and refined by Marshal Vasilevsky in the Far East offer a case study in which modern Soviet Army tactics can be studied.

		The finale of the campaign is a marathon that's more about trial and error than tactics and reaction; you'll die and reload over and over again, quick-saving every few seconds, trying to memorize a script of your own to beat the mission.
		United Offensive can get frustrating, but is filled with big battles like this scene from the American campaign.
		It opens with an exciting shoot-em-up where you're placed in a bomber and tasked with fighting off waves of attacking fighters, and it's fun for a while, as the entire screen shakes and you scurry from turret to turret, trying to keep from being blown to bits.
