The Marine Corps doctrine of maneuver warfare is compared with the joint doctrine for amphibious warfare. The purpose of this paper is to determine if the Marine Corps' Warfighting FMFM-1 and the Joint Doctrine for Amphibious Operations JCS Pub 3-02 are compatible. The joint doctrine for amphibious operations is examined at the operational level to determine if the concept supports maneuver warfare. The validity of amphibious operations or the maneuver warfare doctrine are not discussed. The joint doctrine for amphibious operations and the doctrine of maneuver warfare are synergetic. The commanders' judgement, mindset, and knowledge determine if maneuver warfare will be used in amphibious operations.
