Canada is officialy comitted to Manouevre Warfare as our doctrine, but there isn't any really succinct descriptions of what it is. This is a related doctrine ("Deep Battle"), for comparison:
Very succinct and easy to understand and apply.
Tukhachevskii's Deep Battle theory has five elements:
1) Tactical units are instruments to support operational maneuver;
2) The application of pressure across the maximum area denies the enemy's ability to maneuver in response to a penetration;
3) The greater depth and speed that can be achieved by operational forces increases the lethality and shock to the enemy;
4) Both firepower and ground maneuver can be used interchangeably to increase depth as technology progresses;
5) The depth of the battlefield must be viewed as one continuous operation to insure the commander sees and plans for the final battle both in time and space as well as he plans for the first battle.
Very succinct and easy to understand and apply.
