Once the Croatian Army went from defensive to offensive strategy in 1993, the army doctrine was based on a variation of blitzkrieg strategy in which weaker units would hold lines and Guard brigades - like the Tigers - would be used as line breakers to penetrate defenses, then isolate and destroy enemy formations.
Kada je Hrvatska vojska krenula iz defenzivne u ofenzivnu strategiju tijekom 1993, vojna doktrina je bila bazirana na varijaciji blitzkrieg strategije u kojoj slabije jedinice drže front, a Gardijske brigade - poput Tigrova - bi bili korišteni za probijanje obrane, zatim izolaciju i uništenje neprijateljskih formacija.
