		Limitations on the targeting of civilians, what type of weapons can be used, and when combat is allowed have all fallen under these rules in different conflicts.
		For example, the United States Government referred to the Korean War as a "police action", and the British Government was very careful to use the term "armed conflict" instead of "war" during the Falklands War in 1982 to comply with the letter of international law.
		Modern combatants include religious zealots and terrorists and, because they are not defined by the state, cannot be bombed or fought as were the armies of Hitler or Napoleon.

		However, they fared poorly in direct combat with British tanks and suffered severely against the Soviet T-34, which was superior in armour, weaponry and cross-country performance while being equal in speed.
		Tanks are also at a disadvantage in wooded terrain and urban combat environments, which cancel the advantages of the tank's long-range firepower, limit the crew's ability to detect potential threats, and can even limit the turret's ability to traverse.
		Some of these disadvantages have now been taken into account by special modifications for urban combat, and it should be noted that urban operations create additional hazards for almost all unit types, with tanks often retaining a high survivability (especially against improvised and most man-portable weapons) by virtue of their strong armour.

		This one-two punch was the basic combat philosophy of the British tank formations, and was adopted by the Germans as a major component of the blitzkrieg concept.
		However, they fared poorly in direct combat with British tanks and suffered severely against the Soviet T-34, which was superior in armour and weaponry.
		When moving in a country or region with no rail infrastructure and few good roads, or a place with roads riddled by mines or frequent ambushes, the average speed of advance of a tank unit in a day is comparable to that of a man on a horse or bicycle.

	Invasion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		As unmanned, long-range combat evolves, the instances of basic overland invasion become fewer; often the conventional fighting is effectively over before the infantry arrives in the role of peacekeepers (see "Applications in fourth generation warfare" in this article).
		In the 20th and 21st century, questions arose regarding the effectiveness of the invasion strategy in neutralising non-state combatants, a type of warfare sometimes referred to — especially in the US — as 'fourth generation warfare'.
		In this case, one or more combatant groups are controlled not by a centralized state government but by independent leadership, and these groups may be made up of civilians, foreign agents, mercenaries, politicians, religious leaders, and members of the regular military.

		For combatants and non-combatants alike, the war had been justified for reasons future generations simply would not be able to understand without seeing the war in the context of the "spirit of 1914".
		Much of the war's combat involved trench warfare, where hundreds often died for each metre of land gained.

		The Air Force intends to keep the B-52 in service until around 2050, an unprecedented length of service for a combat aircraft model (the venerable DC-3, now 70 years old, is still in regular revenue service in civilian hands).
		Whereas the B-1 averages a 57% ready rate [3] and the B-2 achieved a 26% in 1997 [4], the B-52 averages an 80% combat ready rate.
		All B-52s are equipped with an electro-optical viewing system that uses platinum silicide forward-looking infrared and high resolution low-light-level television sensors to augment targeting, battle assessment, and flight safety, thus further improving its combat ability and low-level flight capability.

		Soviet forces suffered heavy damage in the field as a result of poor levels of preparedness, whose primary causes were inadequate officers, as a result of the purges, disorganisation as a result of a partially completed mobilization, and the reorganisation the Army was undergoing.
		Finally, the sheer numeric superiority of the Axis cannot be underestimated, though the combat strength of the two opposing forces appears to have been roughly equal in numbers of divisions.
		After six months of combat against the Germans, STAVKA abolished the Rifle Corps intermediate level between Army and Division because while useful in theory, in the inexperienced state of the Red Army, they proved ineffective in practice.

	Bomber Summary
		Fighter-bombers (also called tactical fighters, strike fighters, and attack fighters) are multi-role combat aircraft which can (at least theoretically) be equipped for either air-to-air combat or air-to-ground combat.
		Modern multi-role combat aircraft are designed to fulfull multiple roles due to budget restrictions as often as they are for versatility.
		Even that distinction is muddied by the availability of aerial refueling, which greatly increases the potential radius of combat operations.

		They do so because this ability was lost to ordinary troops when assault rifles (which are optimized for close-in, rapid-fire combat) were adopted.
		Generally snipers are isolated even from soldiers of their own army by the dislike of the ordinary infantry for this type of combat.
		Most people will also agree that training a mentally ill person into a very highly trained covert killer is a bad idea both in peacetime and wartime (the sniper will be out on missions only a small percentage of their time in the theater of operations).

	Informat.io on Cutlass
		The cutlass required less training than the rapier or small sword, and was more effective as a combat weapon than the full-sized sword.
		The cutlasses portrayed in films about pirates are usually historically incorrect, often 19th-century weapons that substitute for the backsword and falchion that were actually available to pirates in prior centuries.
		In time of peace the Ottoman state supplied no arms, and the janissaries on service in the capital were armed only with clubs; they were forbidden to carry any arm save a cutlass, the only exception being at the frontier-posts.

	Close Quarters Combat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Close Quarters Combat, or CQC, is used to describe an up-close military hand-to-hand fighting system, also known as combatives.
		Close Quarter Combat teaches a person to use any part of their body as a weapon in any environment and how to use any modern day weapon as a tool of self defence.
		Real CQC methods are similar, not relying on just unarmed moves but also making use of knives or guns in decisive combat with little time to think.

	Headmaster - Teletraan-1: The Transformers Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Since the Headmaster partner can provide all of the motivation for a Transformer body to move and fight without the Transformer even needing to be conscious (or alive), and can override the will of the Transformer he or she is bonded to, many Autobots and Decepticons find this technology disturbing.
		In Japanese continuities Headmasters hail from the planet Master and generally used Transtectors, robotic bodies that were devoid of sparks and non-sentient(therefore avoiding the messy argument over whether Headmastering was ethical by not partnering with living Transformers).
		A Headmaster is born when one of the miniture denizens of Master (Roughly a little bit larger than a human, save for Scorponok) proves his worth in combat, and is rewarded with his very own Transtector, in order to be able to fight more efficiently among the Master's larger brethren.

		This connection is made explicitly in the 1984 film The Last Starfighter in which a video game on Earth is used as a recruiting device for an alien civilization whose starfighters require the same skills as the video game.

		Urban combat reduces the range at which fighting occurs and thus favours the technologically inferior force when it is defending.
		This has been proven most recently in the combat between U.S. forces and Iraqi partisans in urban environments after the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
		The confines of the urban geography, and the knowledge that the attackers were there to liberate the city not capture it, would have reduced the greatest advantage of the Coalition, the ability to kill at long range.
