Urban Attacks Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT)

Abstract

This is a republication of an X-File that integrates the results of our experiments with existing doctrine and TTPs to provide an easy-to-use reference for Marines. This X-File discusses tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPS) related to knowledge gained during the series of experiments and assessments that have been conducted by the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory since 1996. Small units, primarily the rifle squad, carry the fight to the enemy in urban combat. This is the focus of this X-File. We have combined current doctrine with what we have learned in more than four years of experimentation to synthesize knowledge that applies primarily to the Marine Rifle Squad.
