Urban / City Warfare (merged thread)

[davidbfpo]

An Australian Army commentary that aims to:

describe the key tactical lessons the Australian Army can learn from the AFoP’s urban siege of Marawi City. Consideration of these lessons may inform and improve the Australian Army’s current approach to the force generation of close combat, combined-arms capabilities. It will identify the key tactical lessons learned by the AFoP fighting an intelligent, determined, disciplined and well-equipped terrorist threat in the extraordinarily difficult, intense and complicated terrain.

Not to overlook this:

The fighting drove over 400,000 people from their homes.
