Rural Guerrilla Warfare

Rural guerrilla warfare is a conflict strategy used by smaller, often local groups in rural areas to fight against a larger, conventional military force. These guerrillas use their knowledge of the terrain to launch surprise attacks, ambushes, and sabotage, often targeting supply lines and communication. They rely on mobility, stealth, and support from local populations to sustain their efforts. This form of warfare aims to weaken the enemy over time, create instability, and garner popular support for their cause, making it difficult for conventional forces to maintain control in the countryside.
