Urban Warfare
In a city attack, there are basically 8 rules. If you are the defenders, the more you can take advantage of these rules, the harder you can make it on the attacker. Grind them to a halt. #UrbanWarfare #Ukraine #UkraineUnderAttack mwi.usma.edu
1. The urban defender has the advantage.
2. The urban terrain reduces the attacker’s advantages in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, the utility of aerial assets, and the attacker’s ability to engage at distance.
3. The defender can see and engage the attacker coming, because the attacker has limited cover and concealment.
4. Buildings serve as fortified bunkers that must be negotiated.
5. Attackers must use explosive force to penetrate buildings.
6. The defender maintains relative freedom of maneuver within the urban terrain.
7. The underground serves as the defender’s refugee.
8. Neither the attacker nor the defender can concentrate their forces against the other.
