	Guerrilla warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While the American Revolutionary War is often thought of as a guerrilla war, guerrilla tactics were uncommon, and almost all of the battles involved conventional set-piece battles.
		As the war progressed, southern influence weakened, and the northern grip was strengthened.

	Guerilla Warfare
		Guerilla warfare tactics often rely on isolating smaller units of the larger occupying force so as to attack parts of the larger force by ambush.
		In many areas of the world, guerilla warfare is practiced by local groups against government forces, and is especially effective in areas with a rugged natural topography or areas of dense vegetation (e.g., forest or jungle) that provide natural hiding places from which to stage guerilla operations.
		A key element in defining guerilla forces as opposed to other types of forces or movements involves the general principle that guerilla forces are generally accepted—in fact often supported and sheltered—by local populations.

	Guerrilla Warfare - History Forum
		The revolutionary war in Cuba was started by the survivers of the Grama landing, (less than 20men), attacking, and killing the garison of a small secluded police station.
		Guerilla warfare is as tricky a term to define as terrorist.
		Indeed, the Roman war with the Celtibers, which went on for years, almost lost by Q.Fulvius Nobilior, Marcellus, Lucullus and Mancinus, was won by Scipio, who was known among Celtibers and Carthagineans for his honesty and nobility and managed to deserve respect of the enemies.

	Terrorism and Asymmetrical Warfare International and Regional Implications
		It can be a war between a state and a group of diehard terrorists, or committed patriots who are seeking their legitimate rights by armed struggle.
		In this asymmetric war the weaker is the loser.
		Both terrorism and guerilla wars are asymmetric warfare, but terrorism is distinguished from guerilla warfare by deliberate attacks on innocent persons, and the separation of the victims from the ultimate goal.

	How to Beat Guerillas
		Guerillas cannot afford to be constantly on the run, they have not got the resources (food, bases, medical facilities) to keep at it.
		The guerillas are fighting for economic reasons and you want as many of them as possible to know that you have a solution to their money problems.
		The guerillas are always a minority of the population and there is ample opportunity to win the loyalty and gratitude of those neutral civilians.

	Middle East Institute: Policy Brief
		Guerilla warfare as historically understood is a complex and rich form of warfare that has been practiced since time immemorial and continues to be practiced widely at present and about which an enormous amount has been written by historians and practitioners.6
		Nevertheless, advantage in war requires being a step or more ahead of one's foe, so it is imperative that the U.S. prepare actively for the prospect of an uglier guerilla war precisely in order to head it off and defeat it should it break out.
		The most detailed analysis of guerilla wars is to be found in Robert Asprey, War in the Shadows: The Guerilla in History, New York: William Morrow and Company, 1994.

		Guerilla wars are usually wars in which the outcome matters an incredible amount for one side and not nearly as much for the other.
		The war they're fighting is often very far from home and very far from the actual national interests of their own countries.
		In the run-up to the war we were told about the weapons of mass destruction and how they posed a grave threat to us, and we had to act - in self-defense.

		Boot tracks various "small wars" during the rise of America's global power from the Barbary Wars (1801-1805, 1815) until the application of the "Powell Doctrine" during the Gulf War in the 1990s.
		Thirty years later, as the war Viet Nam continued, it became obvious (at least to some) that the lessons to be learned from The Small Wars Manual may have been validated but, for whatever reasons, were either ignored or forgotten by President Johnson and others in his administration.
		We tend to think of undeclared police action wars to be a rather new phenomena of the mid 20th century for America.

		There have been civil wars, guerilla wars, holy wars, gender wars, cold wars, world wars, trade wars, wars on drugs, wars of independence, wars as short as the Six-Day War, or as long as the Hundred Years War.
		It's the war waging in many inner city neighborhoods across the United States, a war nourrished by poverty and unemployment, by drug abuse and repressive law enforcement, by gang rivalries and lacking gun control.
		Too often, these war reports came from a soldier's perspective, not a general's, leaving the listener wondering who was at war with who, and why.

	Small Wars Center of Excellence
		During the early years of the twentieth century, the Corps was widely viewed as the nation's overseas police and initial response force.
		The results of these efforts were encapsulated in The Small Wars Manual (SWM), published in final form in 1940 and a true classic of military science that remains refreshingly relevant today as the foundation of much current thinking and doctrine.
		Small Wars are conceived in uncertainty, are conducted often with precarious responsibility and doubtful authority, under indeterminate orders lacking specific instructions.

		A closer look at three important cases–the French war in Algeria, the American war in Vietnam, and Israel’s war in southern Lebanon–reveals that the Achilles’ heel of those powerful democracies was not a lack of staying power on the part of the public, but instead, enfeebled decision-making on the part of their leaders.
		Public support for the war and for the president gradually fell in comparison to the beginning of the war, but at the end of 1967 and the beginning of 1968, a clear majority of Americans still felt that Westmoreland’s performance was satisfactory, the war was being properly managed, and that it even should be escalated.
		The fact that support for escalating the war was far higher than support for the president suggests that it was the administration’s lack of clarity and resolve, not the war itself, that led to its downfall.

	Times & Seasons » On the Significance of Mormon Wars
		The Utah War had its origins in some federally appointed officials who fled Utah and reported to the President Buchannan that the Mormons were in open rebellion against the United States.
		Knowing way too little about the Mormon wars, the only thing I can say I feel about this, is that the people were attacked on their territory by an “enemy” army, and thus were justified in fighting back, as simple as it may sound….
		Mormons managed to find a workable relationship with their “enemy,” forced a limited guerilla war to sustain at least many of their perceived rights (at least up until 1894) and did so with minimal violence.

		Any army sent into a dirty guerilla war like Iraq or Afghanistan can be expected to become corrupted and slaughter civilians.

		Less than 1% of guerilla actions in all of history have resulted in wins by the conventional force....and it seems like every time the lame, nonsensical excuse is that the conventional force COULD have won if they had been more brutal or fielded more men.
		This forces the guerillas to travel and (if you have done things correctly) expose themselves prior to and at the time of their attack.
		Conventional wars turn into guerilla wars because overwhelming force is not used from the start.

		The turning point of the war, the Tet offensive of early 1968, is used as an example of how guerrilla tactics decisively turned public opinion in America against the war.
		In a reverse scenario, a war in which the guerrillas were anti-Communists, the long and costly struggle following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is documented through startling films of ambushes and in interviews with battle-weary veterans of the Red Army.
		In these "people's wars," the guerrillas drew strength from the local population which furnished recruits and supplies, shelter and underground intelligence.
