	Military tactics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Military tactics (Greek: Taktikē, the art of organizing an army) is the collective name for methods of engaging and defeating an enemy in battle.
		Tactics should be distinguished from military strategy, which is concerned with the overall means and plan for achieving a long-term outcome, and operational art, an intermediate level in which the aim is to convert the strategy into tactics.
		Often deception in the form of military camouflage or misdirection using decoys, are used to confuse the enemy.

	A Theory of Power, Jeff Vail's Critique of Hierarchy & Empire
		Swarming is the tactical (or, in some cases, operational) maneuver of converging of highly distributed forces at a single point to leverage the military principle of mass.
		These tactics came of age in anti-Klan demonstrations in the 1990s, which is also where police pioneered things like "free speech zones." In fact, they wear what they wear to convey that challenge and cannot really be compared to insurgents for that reason, among others.
		The "military metaphor" of swarming is no more military than it is social: it is merely an observation of a pattern of power that emerges in a variety of environments.

		The issue of female detentions in Iraq has taken on a higher profile since kidnappers seized American journalist Jill Carroll on Jan. 7 and threatened to kill her unless all Iraqi women detainees are freed.
		The U.S. military on Thursday freed five of what it said were 11 women among the 14,000 detainees currently held in the 2 1/2-year-old insurgency.

		Before concluding last week's military talks, North Korean delegates unilaterally declared that there would be no more defense ministers' meetings between the two sides unless the South Korean defense white paper is revised.

	Argentina
		In the 60's and 70's there was mounting violence in Argentina, as the principal guerilla group, the Montoneros (a leftist faction of peronism), employed tactics of terrorism, bombing banks, public buildings, military sights, and police stations, and killing police officers and military officials (p.121).
		The military pursued the 'internal enemy.' General Ibérico Saint Jean, who became governor of the province of Buenos Aires, explained this military tactic, "First we must kill the subversives, then their sympathizers; then those who are indifferent; and finally, we must kill all those who are timid," (p.124).
		Guerillas and civilians were kidnapped out of their homes by military members and brought to detention centers (essentially concentration camps in garages or abandoned buildings) where they were most almost always tortured and murdered.

	Suicide Bombing as a Problem in Asymmetric Warfare, April 19, 2002
		In some ways, the suicide bomber is the most difficult sort of "weapon" to defend against: you cannot deter its use, it is difficult to detect beforehand, and a genuine retaliatory response is difficult because the immediate perpetrator is dead and the authority authorizing the attack may or may not be identifiable.
		Against military targets, there is the organized use of suicide attacks by Japan against the US fleet off Okinawa and elsewhere in the closing days of World War II, the kamikaze; thousands of more kamikaze were being prepared in the event the US invaded the home islands.
		The attack in 2000 on the USS Cole in Aden Harbor is a classic case, already cited in the November 3, 2000 Dossier in The Estimate cited in the introduction.

		It supports Christ Con's argument that Christianity was a military tactic by the Roman state to consolidate the various pre-Christian sun cults under its rule.
		Similarly, the realm of astrology drew upon the mystic-experiencing realm for ideas and metaphorical expressions (remembering that all language is richly metaphorical), and the mystic-experiencing realm drew metaphors and concepts from astrology.
		A strong candidate I'm proposing lately is that everyone understood the mythic-mystic-state meaning of all the myths and recognized the brilliant relevance of this particular story, which was set among "the Jews" as a fictional backdrop because the Jews generally represented the idea of loathing and resisting the domination system of Caesar.

	Swarming UAVs - By Harrison Donnelly - Military Aerospace Technology
		In creating swarming aircraft, developers are not only exploring an ancient military tactic that is attracting increased attention from modern military theoreticians, but also filling out the UAV spectrum and giving new options to commanders for accomplishing missions while preserving lives and resources.
		The application of swarm theory to unmanned vehicles has also attracted considerable interest among military researchers, who are intrigued by the idea of enabling groups of vehicles to sense and respond automatically, without having to be controlled individually by operators on the ground.
		Other researchers continue to experiment with a variety of approaches, which include models based on potential fields and on pheromones, which are the chemicals secreted by ants and other insects to convey messages to others in their group.

	Adapting military strategies to BF2 - Total Battlefield 2 Forums
		Not all the real life military tactics can be adapted, as they require too many people and are too big to use on one single flag or even an area.
		An easier and effective tactic such as 'Fire' and 'Manouver' (by which a base of fire is created while others attack, allowing an advance to be made with cover fire being provided to most if not all members) is a little more suited to the relative disorganisation of online play.
		I agree, that this tactic is for Clans only, but I don't see the point of people who critique the essence of the strategy, since there's almost no weak spot.
