	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Summer 1999
		Most urban warfare experts believe that current technology may enable US forces to improve their effectiveness at close-quarters combat when it takes place, but they can still expect relatively high numbers of friendly and noncombatant casualties and significant collateral damage to urban structures.
		The urban warfighter will have to be the most competent of all soldiers given the extreme intellectual, physical, psychological and emotional challenges associated with urban operations.
		Future urban concepts must be evaluated within the context of the current experimentation plan to allow for the spiral development of organizations, doctrine, and equipment comparable to that of the Army XXI heavy divisions.

	Behind the WTO Riots: The US Prepares for War in the Cities
		A review of hundreds of pages of Urban Warrior files reveals that the actual goal of the operation is quite different: Urban Warrior is designed to "penetrate" into urban settings, to seize powerplants, TV and radio stations, to capture food and water supplies, and to control cities.
		A chillingly candid USMC document entitled "Why Urban Warrior?" explains the problem for which urban warfare is seen to provide the solution: "Over the last 50 years, a variety of factors--ranging from modernization to environmental and agricultural disasters--have forced millions of people into the world's cities.
		Urban Warrior is designed to capture and hold modern cities with dense high-rise structures, which the USMC prefers to call "urban canyons." Marines are being trained to scale high-rise buildings via ropes, to travel inside buildings on elevator cables, and to advance beneath city streets through sewer lines and mass-transit tunnels.

		The urban environment is emerging as a critical battlefield for DOD as the world's population continues to concentrate in cities located near coastlines.
		Urban warfare is deadly because buildings and other structures form a maze of concrete and gravel that can easily confuse and disorient a Marine trying to fight his way from building to building while trying to pick out the good guys from the bad.

	The urban warrior strikes again \| Extracts \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		I wrote Handbook for the Urban Warrior four years ago, with the blind audacity to think I could transform ancient Taoist philosophy and methods as practised by martial artists and sages for millennia into a topic sexy enough to tickle the fancy of a media-hardened postmodern society.
		Now preface it with 'urban' (the magic filthy word) - urban warrior - and all sense of the quaint dissolves instantly to reveal a new postmodern archetype of equal relevance and use to both sexes.
		Relationships involving two energy self-sourcing parties, each sharing the fruits of that energy self-sourcing and thus producing synergy, have freedom as their currency, which is after all what any urban warrior values most highly.

	Contest to build 'urban warrior' robots - web - Technology - theage.com.au
		Currently, robots deployed for urban warfare missions are remotely operated by a human, limiting their effectiveness and tying down resources, Lim said.
		The robot DSTA wants "must, on its own, be able to navigate both indoors and outdoors in an urban landscape and accomplish a set of assigned tasks within a stipulated time," he said.
		As cities become more populated and as extremist networks seek refuge in urban centres, conventional armed forces worldwide need to evolve their doctrines and weapons to better fight a new kind of enemy, they said.

		Currently, Full Spectrum Warrior for the Xbox is being developed as a proper military squad training simulator for the U.S. Army.

		I imagine that squads of nine soldiers comprised of individual real-life players might be stretching it a little bit, but certainly there will be gamers going head-to-head with their own digital teams in all kinds of different gameplay modes.

		Training in a "real urban environment" is essential because it helps the military learn how to protect civilians, maneuver in city streets and handle radio waves bouncing off buildings, said Marine Lt. Col.
		But defense analyst John Pike says the true purpose is to prepare for "responding to terrorist incidents," possibly involving weapons of mass destruction.

		No matter what future technologies may hold in the terms of capability, participants agree that the success of future urban operations relies heavily on political end state planning and the idea that military units are not necessarily leading operations, but are often supporting operations.
