WHAT IS GUERRILLA WARFARE?
Guerrilla Warfare is a type of combat used mostly when the enemy has a larger military than you do. It has several meanings. It can be using a sniper to pick off enemy military troops or the use of surprise raids, ambushes, sabotage etc., by small, mobile groups of forces against an enemy military. It is also a type of combat that's fought by a civilians (people not in the military).
Often, guerrilla warriors are attempting to overthrow an existing government or are rebelling against or fighting a much larger, organized military. Many times, guerrilla warriors are fighting in their homeland or they have the support of the local population. Therefore, guerrillas are usually familiar with the terrain and landscape, and they use this to their advantage in their attacks: the enemy has no idea what's happening until the guerilla attack is underway.
The word
guerrilla means "little war" in Spanish. The term was first used during one of the Napoleonic Wars when the British enlisted Spanish and Portuguese
guerrillas to help them fight the war.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF GUERRILLA WARFARE
There were many advantages to using Guerrilla Warfare. Guerrilla Warfare allowed
smaller, less experienced, and poorly supplied troops to defeat or severely damage large, experienced, and well supplied enemy troops. Many times guerrilla fighters were fighting the war in their homeland. Guerrilla warfare allowed the military to take advantage of civilian help. It also was an advantage because they knew the layout of the land, where the enemy had to rely on maps and planes.
There were also disadvantages to guerrilla warfare. If the guerrilla attacks are slow or poorly organized, enemy troops can end a guerrilla raid quickly. Because guerrilla warfare relies on moving constantly, it was hard to have a base to meet up and strategize. If sniper escape routes are blocked off or become occupied by heavy enemy troops, it leaves the sniper trapped and more likely to be captured. Finally, if the guerrilla force or sniper is forced to stay in one general area for a long period of time, they could run out of supplies and ammunition.
