Seems to me METT-TC, as always, applies. Do the guys in Afghanistan and the Philippines know about this urban stuff?
One should always expect contact and to take casualties. One should never expect to have no safe exit route but acknowledging that can happen, there should be an extraction plan...I suspect some of them feel the same way about Army TTP. Both types have advantages and disadvantages -- like everything else in the world....but I do not hold Marine tactics in very high regard anyway.
