 On Guerrilla Warfare — Ch 2
The strategy of guerrilla warfare is manifestly unlike that employed in orthodox operations, as the basic tactic of the former is constant activity and movement.
In orthodox warfare particularly in a moving situation, a certain degree of initiative is accorded subordinates, but in principle, command is centralized.
It is true that on the battlefield mobile war often becomes positional; it is true that this situation may be reversed; it is equally true that each form may combine with the other.

 Achtung Panzer! - Blitzkrieg!
This combined use of mobile units and air power was possible by the extensive use of radio and communication network.
After World War II, tactics of Blitzkrieg and mobile warfare developed by the Germans were used by Israeli forces during their numerous conflicts with the Arab Nations as well as by American forces during the Operation Desert Storm.
Important factor behind mobile warfare was communication between the HQ and field units and vice-versa, as well as prepared starting points along with supply base and logistics to maintain the speed of the initial attack.

Secretary of State Powell’s description of the mobile plants in his speech in February 2003 to the United Nations (see inset) was based primarily on reporting from this source.
In interviews over the last week, they said the mobile units were more likely intended for other purposes and charged that the evaluation process had been damaged by a rush to judgment.
While the first two groups to see the trailers were largely convinced that the vehicles were intended for the purpose of making germ agents, the third group of more senior analysts divided sharply over the function of the trailers, with several members expressing strong skepticism, some of the dissenters said.

 Problems of Strategy in Guerrilla War
The nature of guerrilla warfare is such that guerrilla forces must be employed flexibly in accordance with the task in hand and with such circumstances as the state of the enemy, the terrain and the local population, and the chief ways of employing the forces are dispersal, concentration and shifting of position.
Indeed, the widespread guerrilla warfare in the plains of Hopei and of northern and northwestern Shantung proves that it is possible to develop guerrilla warfare in the plains.
When guerrilla warfare began, the guerrillas could not completely occupy these places but could only make frequent raids; they are areas which are held by the guerrillas when they are there and by the puppet regime when they are gone, and are therefore not yet guerrilla bases but only what may be called guerrilla zones.

 CIA Report Details Iraqi Mobile Biological Weapons Labs, May 28, 2003
A new Central Intelligence Agency report says the three mobile laboratory facilities uncovered by coalition forces in Iraq provide "the strongest evidence to date" that Iraq had a biological warfare program and made substantial efforts to hide it.
The report, issued by the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) May 28, recounts the discoveries of the mobile laboratory facilities, which were designed to be used in the manufacture of biological weapons (BW) for the now defunct regime of Saddam Hussein.
Employees of the facility that produced the mobile production plants' fermentor revealed that seven fermenters were produced in 1997, one in 2002 and one in 2003.

The integrated electronic warfare system Samyukta Communication and Control block is uniquely configured for frequencies from high frequency (HF) to millimetre wave for reconnaissance, direction finding, and position fixing, listing, prioritising and jamming adversaries’ emissions.
According to VK Atre, scientific adviser to the defence minister and the brain behind Samyukta, “this system will ensure dominance over electro-magnetic spectrum which basically means it will jam enemy surveillance signals and voice and radar signals while ensuring its own signals are not jammed by the enemy.
Dr Kalam said the creation of a national electronic warfare test range at Hyderabad will be appropriate for faster evaluation and delivery of high performance systems.

 Mobile Labs - May 28, 2003 Intelligence Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The selective use or disregarding of information raises questions whether the report was written with a preferred conclusion in mind, namely to support the claims presented by the United States about mobile biological weapons facilities.
In addition, the disregard of Iraq's alternative explanations about the purpose of the trailer and lack of Iraqi corroboration of the United States conclusion of the trailers' purpose raises additional questions about the credibility of the study's findings.
A credible independent inspection of the trailers is critical before these trailers are indeed determined to be mobile biological warfare production plants.

 WorldNetDaily: Is this one of Saddam's mobile bio-weapons labs?
But initial swab tests of the mobile unit, which seemed to have been washed thoroughly with a strong decontaminating substance, yielded no traces of biological or chemical agents, leading many critics to conclude the trailer could have been used for legitimate medical purposes.
Military analysts were particularly hopeful about a large holding canister connected to piping that drains the agent and which was at a height that may have left residual agent at the bottom of the canister.
But they found the entire mobile unit had been thoroughly cleansed and decontaminated with a strong caustic agent that rid the trailer of traces of whatever material had been produced.

 Iraqi Mobile Labs Nothing to do With Germ Warfare, Report Finds- Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
An official British investigation into two trailers found in northern Iraq has concluded they are not mobile germ warfare labs, as was claimed by Tony Blair and President George Bush, but were for the production of hydrogen to fill artillery balloons, as the Iraqis have continued to insist.
The conclusion by biological weapons experts working for the British Government is an embarrassment for the Prime Minister, who has claimed that the discovery of the labs proved that Iraq retained weapons of mass destruction and justified the case for going to war against Saddam Hussein.
The revelation that the mobile labs were to produce hydrogen for artillery balloons will also cause discomfort for the British authorities because the Iraqi army's original system was sold to it by the British company, Marconi Command & Control.

Mobile gaming has certainly come on a bit from the days where Snake was at the top of the tree – guiding a bendy line around a box just doesn’t seem to have the same appeal as it used to.
The graphics are excellent throughout Warfare – the maps are highly detailed while each building is easily distinguishable on any screen; even individual units look different, a respectable achievement on small screen devices.
As well as the full single player mode, Warfare Incorporated also supports multiplayer (device dependant) gaming via either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi – another twenty-one maps are available to play around in as well as any more you choose to download via the forums again.

 A New Model For Land Warfare   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
For the most part, these views are derived from a careful study of guerrilla warfare, blitzkrieg tactics, air power doctrine, and concepts for mobile warfare in a fluid environment.
Although current doctrine now refers to land warfare as the "joint air-land battle," and combat power is considered to be an amalgam of firepower and maneuver, the dominant-subordinate relationship between maneuver forces and supporting firepower remains essentially the same.
The division-sized mobile main forces would maintain dispersed (but combat ready) postures at their base locations, prepared to execute missions that include reinforcement of the covering force, destruction of isolated enemy elements that eluded firepower annihilation, and consolidation of terrain cleared by firepower.

 Long Live the Victory of People's War!
He raised guerrilla warfare to the level of strategy, because, if they are to defeat a formidable enemy, revolutionary armed forces should not fight with a reckless disregard for the consequences when there is a great disparity between their own strength and their enemy’s.
It is true that in guerrilla warfare much should be done to disrupt and harass the enemy, but it is still necessary actively to advocate and fight battles of annihilation whenever conditions are favourable.
It was called sparrow warfare because, first, it was used diffusely, like the flight of sparrows in the sky; and because, second, it was used flexibly by guerrillas or militiamen, operating in threes or fives, appearing and disappearing unexpectedly and wounding, killing, depleting and wearing out the enemy forces.
