Rhodesian COIN (consolidated thread, inc original RLI)

Thanks for posting that. I have been fascinated with that conflict since I was a kid. Are you aware of any studies on the defensive techniques of the Rhodesian farmers? I was reading somewhere that they ended up installing large floodlights that would be triggered upon attack to buy a few seconds to get the guns out and start returning fire.

Thanks Bizmark

As a different subject, I have started a new thread concerning farmers and their defensive arrangements for your consideration. I do not know of any formal study that has been done on this subject.

I had an advance read of this article, and I will say that this definitely opened my eyes in a few areas of RSF operations. For any student of the art of the rifle, this is a must-read.

Rhodesian, I have several Marines reading this, time now. It may change the way they conclude their close-in assaults.

There is a consolidated Rhodesian COIN thread at:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=2090
