Fighting in built-up areas presents unique challenges and constraints that can spell disaster for the unwary, drastically reducing the relative advantages of technological superiority, weapons ranges and firepower. Engagements can occur without warning, at extremely close range. Civilians can be difficult or impossible to distinguish from combatants. Entire columns of armored vehicles can be held at bay by a small group of fighters.
If that was not sufficiently challenging, most urban societies are only a few meals away from chaos. Their populations may be hostile at the best of times, and their complex man-made physical terrain provides the ideal environment in which to wage guerrilla war.
This handbook, created by the United States Army Combined Arms Center, demonstrates how to overcome the pitfalls of the urban landscape and turn them to your advantage - whether you are tasked with offensive operations, defensive preparations, or maintaining stability in the aftermath of conflict or natural disaster.
Over fifty percent of the world's population now lives in large conurbations, and urban fighting is inevitable in any conflict. If you are not prepared to survive, command and operate in the multidimensional urban battlefield - you are not prepared at all.
