| الوصف: | This research examines the role of manoeuvre and force ratio in urban warfare. The paper uses the comparative case study model to examine three different approaches assaulting forces may take in urban combat: clearing the city house by house, besieging the city from the outside with limited incursions, and using autonomous swarms to move fluidly in the urban environment around and through defending forces. The findings show that the interaction between force ratio and geography dictates the method of operations employed in urban combat. The complete isolation of the city or part thereof is essential to success in these operations. The force ratio and geography interplay dictate, along with the opposing force, the type of operational method employed and the degree of manoeuvrability afforded to the attacks. It was found that defending forces were more easily able to use manoeuvre. However, their defence could be curtailed through the isolation of the city. |
