I suspect that this is a trained counter-terrorism group, led by those in the know. It needs three distinct elements.

1) The organizers/teachers/directors. They train the others, plan and brief the particular hit, and guide it at a distance.

2) The stalkers. They track potential targets, figure out their routines and routes, and report it all using a concise format, that in the military is called by the acronym “SALUTE”: Size, Activity, Location, Unit/Uniform, Time of the observation, and any Equipment the target uses.

This would translates into how many are in the group they hang out with, what are they doing?, where exactly are they located, what their clothes look like, time of day when they were observed, and any weapons, gear, vehicles they use.

3) The hitters. Once they clearly understand the plan from the briefer, they need to enter the target area discreetly, then make the call whether to do the hit or not, before having a clear route out, and backup for when things go bad. That is, those who follow a hitter walk into an ambush.

No, not Wolverines...Wise Guys. From the article: “Their targets never vary, but their methods do. Sometimes they use snipers to take out a militant. Sometimes they plant roadside bombs and blow up cars. Sometimes they stab their victims, sometimes strangle them.”

Next is baseball bats, people committing suicide by shooting themselves in the head six times, falling out of windows, etc.

They are Mosul's vigilante brigades, shadowy groups of civilians turned armed assassins who risk their lives to kill Islamic State gunmen — as well as those who support them.

IT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME!

If thery are not men enough to fight for their families, community, country and freedom, why should I give a rat's ass?

Correct. No RoE at all.

Those who would oppress us will discover that no only are they fair game, but also everything and everyone they hold dear.

The first rule of war is there are MUST BE no rules...

So-called Rules of Engagement are always preliminary terms of surrender!

Specially with a stealth muslim Mass Murderer as commander-in-chief

Heroes all. Nice to see folks not looking to others to help them. Would they kill Americans who liberated Mosul? I don’t think so—Nor would they Russians. they would cheer—as long as we didn’t try Nation Building or any other imperalistic crap. Go in—Kill IS and get out—let them figure out what government they want!
