guerilla warfare tactics

Guerrilla warfare refers to unconventional military tactics used by smaller, often irregular forces against larger, traditional military opponents. It emphasizes mobility, surprise, and the element of stealth. Guerrilla fighters typically use ambushes, sabotage, hit-and-run attacks, and blend into civilian populations to avoid direct confrontation. The goal is to wear down the enemy and disrupt their operations over time, rather than engage in large-scale battles. This approach can leverage the strengths of local terrain and support from the population, making it effective in situations where the conventional army has overwhelming firepower.
