  Guerrilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guerrilla warfare is one of the oldest forms of asymmetric warfare.
Guerrilla tactics are based on ambush, sabotage, and espionage, and their ultimate objective is usually to destabilize an authority through long, low-intensity confrontation.
Guerrillas are in danger of not being recognized as 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.

 Psychological Operations In Guerrilla Warfare
Guerrilla warfare is born and grows in the political environment; in the constant combat to dominate that area of political mentality that is inherent to all human beings and which collectively constitutes the "environment" in which guerrilla warfare moves, and which is where precisely its victory or failure is defined.
The tactical effort in guerrilla warfare is directed at the weaknesses of the enemy and at destroying their military resistance capacity, and should be parallel to a psychological effort to weaken and destroy their sociopolitical capacity at the same time.
Guerrilla Weapons Are The Strength of the People over an Illegal Government The armed propaganda in populated areas does not give the impression that weapons are the power of the guerrillas over the people, but rather that the weapons are the strength of the people against a regime of repression.

 WHITE NOISE: Guerrilla Tactics
Movement by night is another important characteristic of the guerrilla band, enabling it to advance into position for an attack and, where the danger of betrayal exists, to mobilize in new territory.
In any combat between a regular force and a guerrilla band it is always possible to know one from the other by their different manner of fire: a great amount of firing on the part of the regular army, sporadic and accurate shots on the part of the guerrillas.
Another fundamental characteristic of the guerrilla soldier is his flexibility, his ability to adapt himself to all circumstances, and to convert to his service all of the accidents of the action.

The failure of the Taliban to put up an adequate resistance against the advancing US-led troops, heavily manned by the Northern Alliance militia, in the fall of 2001 underscores the point: without the Pakistani army support, the Taliban never was and never could be a force to reckon with.
Remember, the Taliban is not only an enemy of the Americans and other foreigners protecting the Karzai government, but they are also at odds with the Iranians to the west and the Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara ethnic groups that form the core of the Northern Alliance.
As a result, the Karzai regime remains a "foreign" regime to the Taliban, and it is not difficult to organize the ethnic-majority Pashtuns against it.

And Iraqis are no strangers to guerrilla tactics, he said, noting that the British faced low-level warfare during their occupation of Iraq after World War I. Guerrilla tactics, he said, may become increasingly effective as coalition forces drive deeper into Iraq toward Baghdad.

 IOL: Guerrilla tactics shock US 'liberators'
Iraqi forces evidently switched from their disastrous static defence of the 1991 Gulf War to classic guerrilla tactics, using loyalist militias to bolster regular forces.
There was continuing Iraqi resistance at Basra, Iraq's second city in the far south, and, at Najaf, US officers expressed amazement at pickup truck attacks, a tactic dating from the 1980's Chad civil war in the Sahara desert.
If the tactic worked well at Umm Qasr in the relatively open territory of a port-side industrial zone, its effectiveness could be multiplied on the outskirts of Baghdad where US concern to avoid civilian casualties would be far greater.
