	Guerrilla warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guerrilla warfare is one of the oldest forms of asymmetric warfare.
		Guerrillas are in danger of not being recognized as lawful combatants because they may not wear a uniform, (to mingle with the local population), or their uniform and distinctive emblems may not be recognised as such by their opponents.
		Guerrilla tactics were used extensively by the forces of the Afrikaner republics in the Second Boer War in South Africa 1899-1902.

	Guerrilla Warfare - Back Again? - LTG Hughes
		Thus the imperative for the guerrilla is to oppose their enemy with selective and circumstantial violence that will affect the target and the supporting base, including the political and cultural resolve that sustains the opponent.
		At the same time the guerrilla’s hope is to retain some measure of capability through guile and cunning and the application of tactics that protect the core of their ability to continue.
		The guerrilla often relies on compartmentation of small groups and exceptional secrecy to ensure their survival, while the counter-guerrilla force is frequently forced into a defensive-reactive posture that constrains what they are able or willing to do.

	Stratfor Report: Military Doctrine, Guerrilla Warfare and Counter-Insurgency
		Guerrilla war, particularly in its early stages, is extremely resistant to conventional military force because the massed systems that dominate mainstream operations cannot engage the guerrilla force.
		The normal counter to this was to use imprecise intelligence and compensate for it with large-scale operations.
		So, one counter for not having precise knowledge of the location of guerrillas was to use large, mobile formations to move in and occupy a region, in an attempt to identify, engage and destroy guerrilla formations.

		Mao considered guerrilla forces to be a secondary (though important) compliment to orthodox forces and that orthodox armies were the fundamental and principle power and alone were capable of producing a decision (although it is possible that he was talking specifically about anti-Japanese operations in China).
		Guerrilla hostilities have been described as the "University of War." Guerrilla and counter-guerrilla warfare is not the sole province of Special forces.
		The doctrine of the guerrilla is to flee from the strong and attack the weak.

		Finally, the guerrilla must adapt to a life of almost constant movement in which he will be required to march long distance through very difficult terrain.8 Erosion of the enemy's strength during the second phase involves both political and military objectives.
		Guerrilla casualties remained light, although Rolando, one of Che's most valuable lieutenants and a diary author, was killed at El Meson.42 Despite the military victories of April, two significant events occurred which were of particular importance to the campaign's out- come.
		She and another guerrilla were very ill and Che apparently elected to split his unit rather than allow the two sick members to impede the raid.

	The Struggle
		It is important to understand that guerrilla warfare is a military tactic aimed at harassing, punishing, or killing the forces of an adversary.
		Guerrilla warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, or anywhere else for that matter, is the only means that weak terrorists or insurgent forces can employ against a stronger military regime.
		Subversion is all measures short of armed force taken by one section of a population of a country to overthrow those governing the country at that time, or force the governing power(s) to do something, like abandon the government/occupation.

	Counter-Guerrilla Air Warfare: The War in Southern Lebanon
		Guerrilla movements depend on a broad base in the population, and if they lack such support, they concentrate their activity on 'conquering' it by ideological, social, and violent methods.
		The principal goals of a war against guerrillas is the preservation of the regime, of the population's normal course of life, and the removal of the strategic threat which the guerrilla movement constitutes.
		Governments generally recognize their inability to destroy the guerrilla movement entirely as an operative goal, and are satisfied with attrition of the guerrilla movement, especially as reducing its hostile activity to a tolerable level.

		After all, the term "guerrilla" was first used to describe the Spanish partisans who, in conjunction with a British force, harried Napoleon's army during operations in Spain in 1810.
		Of course, the ideology of "people's war" holds that the most important sanctuary for guerrillas comes from a sympathetic population that, in the famous formulation of Mao, provides the "water" in which the guerrilla "fish" may safely swim.

		The official origin of the paramilitaries dates from 1965 to 1968, when the Colombian government passed and then enacted legislation allowing the military to arm civilians in order to counter guerrilla warfare.
		This law was inspired by the National Security Doctrine, a Cold War policy developed by the U.S. government for use in training programs at the School of the Americas, a facility used to train many future leaders of the Colombian military.
		After all, a key guerrilla demand is that the military's role be limited to national defense, that police functions be separated from the army, that the Doctrine of National Security be banned, that military expenditures be reduced, and that guerrillas be integrated into the military.

		This does not mean that the organization lacks the capability of doing so; on the contrary, Hezbollah guerrillas have penetrated the security zone and ambushed IDF troops only a short distance from the fence.
		At almost no point were the guerrillas able to launch rockets at a range shorter than 7.5 miles and this could explain the lack of precision in so many attacks.

		Challenges of converting military victory into political success Introduction: Modern military history, beginning with the Spanish resistance against the forces of Napoleon and continuing throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, is rich with examples of guerrilla warfare and the problems associated with defeating a determined, popular guerrilla movement.
		Particularly vexing for the forces seeking to defeat the guerrillas are such dilemmas as the offensive advantage seized by the guerrillas allowing them to strike at a location, time, and manner of their own choosing, as well as the inability to clearly distinguish between the guerrilla combatants and the civilian noncombatant elements of society.
		Using the element of surprise, the guerrillas launch sudden, often brutal strikes against their opponents and then disappear back into the population.
