	Foreign Military Studies Office Publications - Urban Combat: Confronting the Specter
		Although urban combat has been a constant throughout history, its frequency and scale are likely to increase as emerging threats such as urban guerrillas, terrorists and underdog armies seek cover in the cities.
		Urban combat may include the actions of a peace enforcement force when local police have lost control and criminals or rival factions have seized control, as evident during the Los Angeles riots, Mogadishu, Beirut and Rio de Janeiro.
		Urban combat may be the result of armed insurrections like Budapest in 1956 and Monrovia, Herat in 1979, and it certainly includes the actions in a city under martial law where urban guerrillas oppose the armed force and engage in terrorist acts similar to Kabul, Dublin, Kandahar and Jerusalem.

	Urban Warfare
		The only way to justify the improvement of American capabilities for sustained urban combat is to show that, in contrast to the past thirty years, U.S. national interests might demand sending U.S. forces into sustained urban combat.
		In urban terrain, by contrast, engagements occur at short-range, maneuver and command and control are difficult, and battles are typically fought at the squad level without substantial coordination or fire support from higher echelons.
		The goals of sustained urban combat are to hold a city, take a city, or destroy enemy military forces that are using a city for shelter.

	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.

		The urban landscape makes a deadly battlefield--fighting in such close terrain is both dangerous and difficult to master.
		Combat in the city can be extremely confusing, as units become dispersed through the maze of buildings searching for the enemy and, more importantly, each other.
		Urban combat is treacherous by nature, but that same nature offers great advantage to a force which has learned to fight in the city with confidence and skill.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Summer 1999
		Both sides learned or relearned many lessons of urban combat, most of them the hard way.[1] This article examines the most important of those lessons, the interesting and perhaps surprising conclusions drawn by the Russians about modern urban warfare, and their implications for US soldiers and urban warfare theory.
		Analysts writing urban doctrine should raise their focus from tactics to consider also overarching concepts such as political considerations, limitations of city fighting, worldwide integration of economic assets, characteristics and types of opposing forces (guerrillas, regular force, willingness to violate international law), city size and infrastructure, and probable enemy methods for negating US operating superiority.
		Understanding the elements and ramifications of urban combat is a difficult but crucial task for any army, but especially for one moving from a forward-deployed to an expeditionary state.

		"People in the streets die in urban combat," said Dr. Russ Glenn, a senior analyst with the RAND think tank.

	washingtonpost.com: Urban Combat Frustrates Army
		The daily attacks that use the urban landscape for concealment and flight have frustrated and frightened U.S. forces in Baghdad, many of whom have to drive through the city in open-sided Humvees, stand in front of government buildings and walk through public places every day.
		U.S. military commanders had hoped to avoid urban combat in the earliest days of the war and relied on airstrikes and a strategy of drawing the Iraqi army outside this sprawling city of 5 million people.
		Such urban combat not only poses an immediate threat to soldiers' lives, it has the potential to stir resentment toward occupation forces at a time when the U.S. government is attempting to focus attention on its efforts to rebuild Iraq.

		Distinguishing between civilians and soldiers in urban areas becomes a lot more complicated, because there are a lot more civilians and a great incentive for soldiers to blend into that population to avoid deliberate U.S. targeting.
		Combat engineers dig holes for Iraqi armored vehicles so they may survive as well — at least until the moment comes to leave their holes and shoot at advancing American soldiers.
		Urban combat chews up the best of armies, and urban areas would counter-balance many of America’s greatest technological advantages in war.

		The key here is to design a vehicle that can roll along at a reasonable speed on relatively hard urban roads, take a beating from insurgen fire, retaliate with a vengeance and, most of all, not lose soldiers.
		Urban combat is best dealt with (as far as vehicles are concerned) by having something you can see out of, get out of quickly, and taht will handle small arms and mines.
		About the only really good urban combat vehicle is an armored bulldozer - you start at one side of town and level it, with over-watch from accompanying troops.

	t r u t h o u t - US May Face Cruel Laws of Urban Combat
		As the US Army approaches Baghdad, it may be forced to fight a modern urban war with high casualties and massive destruction.
		In contrast to the sound principles military science has derived from countless engagements in open terrain, true urban battles are few, and their lessons are little studied.
		But a review of combat inside other cities -- Stalingrad, Manila, and Berlin -- reveals some laws for a uniquely brutal kind of battle that may soon be fought inside Baghdad.

	Winds of Change.NET: Fight Night: Joe vs. Trent on the American Way of Urban Combat
		Urban operations are commonly regarded as bloody, time consuming operations in which the defender can exact many times his own number in enemy casualties.
		We seem to have another generation, just like the one in Vietnam, of flag ranks without the moral courage to face down their political masters for the sake of their men.
		Until that attitude is fixed, arguing over how this or that technical toy will make urban combat easier is less than useless.
