irregular forces
Irregular forces are military or paramilitary groups that do not operate within the traditional structures or tactics of regular armies. They often consist of guerrilla fighters, insurgents, or militia groups using unconventional tactics such as hit-and-run attacks, sabotage, and ambushes. These groups may have limited formal training, diverse membership, and often operate covertly or flexibly, blending with civilians or using the terrain to their advantage. Their goals typically include political, ideological, or territorial aims, making them a complex challenge for conventional military forces.
