AMBUSH IN BUILT-UP AREA. TACTICAL CASE STUDY
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2010, Vol 155, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents a concise description of an ambush as one of infantry tactics in a built-up area. The first part of the article depicts modern views on the role of an ambush in urban combat and its variants: a deliberate ambush and a hasty one. The other part of the article includes a short tactical analysis of the AIF (Anti Iraqi Forces, Iraqi Insurgents) urban ambush in the Shohada District in Fallujah on 12 November 2004. This fight is a classic example of a deliberate infantry defence ambush in an urban environment.
