Both peace time training and operational planning. Large AT minefields need time to be laid, and deep gallery systems need to be built and packed with stores. Light infantry running around hiding in cellars is not really going to make much difference. They can make some sensible contribution, but it requires lots of engineer resources, and good C3I.
Patrol based infantry is a training concept. Not really an operational one, though there are cross-overs.Your suggestion is ...? Patrol-based infantry?
More to the point, I am working on this very stuff, right now, so PM me and I'll tell you where I think we stand in terms of current best practice.
