MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain)

MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) refers to military activities conducted within cities and urban environments. It involves navigating complex structures like buildings, streets, and underground passages while executing tactics such as combat, rescue, or security. Urban terrain presents unique challenges, including restricted movement, civilian presence, and high-risk locations. Effective MOUT requires specialized training, coordination, and adaptability to operate safely and efficiently in densely populated areas. The goal is to achieve strategic objectives while minimizing harm to civilians and infrastructure.
