AMBUSH 101 [MILSIM, SP]

"There is only one principle of war and that's this. Hit the other fellow, as quickly as you can, as hard as you can, where it hurts him most, when he ain't lookin'."




A special purpose detachment of the Altis Armed Forces, that employs clandestine actions to fight against insurgents, sets out to conduct an ambush against a FIA supply convoy.






-The ambush force moves to an ASSEMBLY AREA near the ambush site. Security elements take up their positions first and then the ambush elements move into place.

-The security elements gives early warning and prevents enemies outside the ambush area from interfering with the ambush force.

-Through SURPRISE and concentration of fires on a KILLZONE the ambush can deal heavy damage to an enemy force at an relatively low risk to friendly forces and it may enable a smaller force to fight against a stronger enemy.

-An ambush may be conduct by a single element shooting at the target position, but using two or more dispersed elements attacking from different angles in order to achieve CROSSFIRE will greatly increase the effectiveness of an ambush.

-CROSSFIRE allows two or more elements to act as complementary forces, enhancing their overall effect on the enemy compared to an attack from a single direction, due to the simple fact that it reduces the enemy ability to take cover and restricts his maneuver space.
