Forest warfare

Forest warfare is a military strategy that involves operating in and from forested areas to gain advantages such as concealment, surprise, and mobility. It emphasizes using the natural environment for cover, conducting guerrilla tactics, ambushes, and small-unit engagements to disrupt larger forces. This form of warfare requires specialized skills in navigation, stealth, and resource management, as the terrain can be challenging and unpredictable. It is often employed in prolonged conflicts where controlling or defending forested regions is crucial, leveraging the terrain’s natural features to compensate for numerical or technological disadvantages.
