Mobile Detachment (theory)

Mobile Detachment theory describes how certain groups or individuals, such as military units or organizations, operate more effectively when they function independently rather than as part of a larger, centralized body. By being mobile and autonomous, they can adapt quickly, respond to specific needs, and undertake missions without delay. This approach allows for flexibility, rapid decision-making, and targeted actions, making them more resilient in dynamic or unpredictable environments. Essentially, it emphasizes the strategic advantage of operating in smaller, adaptable units that can detach and reattach as situations demand.
