Planning, tactics (8)
I believe the answer is:
strategy
I believe this is a double definition.
'planning' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tactics' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for strategy that I've seen before include "manoeuvres" , "Planning and direction of campaign" , "Plan or policy to achieve something" , "Plan of action, tactics" , "Art of military planning" .)
