Military Operations on Urbanize Terrain

Abstract

History, why is it important. It has some practical value that is relevant generation after generation. Our understanding of urban warfare history is valuable to the United States militarys current battlefield operations. The knowledge we seize about past Combat in Cities will give us a strategic advantage when projecting current and future missions. The tactics we employ must be compatible to our mission while engaged in an asymmetric environment. Commanders will play a critical role in developing tactical plans to counter the enemy on the battlefield. The implementation of an urbanization plan is more of a challenge today than any other time in modern history. The many challenges encountered during asymmetric warfare conducted on an urban battlefield require numerous changes in our institutional instruction and operational training requirements.
