Open the city for evacuation, sift for enemy, after 24 hours close the cordon and call the B-52's in to reduce it. <br /> Do not fight the way your enemy fights best.ravennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-85361606112155770522015-10-21T23:10:46.203-04:002015-10-21T23:10:46.203-04:00raven, sounds like a good book.

Hammel. Apparently the first Marine response was a bunch of troops thrown together on the quick, and the Marine commander realized the Corps had very little training on urban conflict, he started digging through all the books on tactics he could find on base. The book is quite interesting, goes into specific detail on tactics and has current views of many of the contested areas. <br />ravennoreply@blogger.com
