As the war in Ukraine has passed the six-month mark, US and European officials say Ukraine has successfully used a method of resistance warfare developed by US special operations forces to fight back against Russia and bog down its vastly superior military.
The Resistance Operating Concept was developed in 2013 following Russia's war with Georgia a few years earlier but its value was only realized after Russia's invasion of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula in 2014. It provides a blueprint for smaller nations to effectively resist and confront a larger neighbor that has invaded.
Russia's nearly bloodless takeover and annexation of the occupied territory stunned Ukraine and the west, intensifying a study of how to build a plan for total defense that included not only the military, but also the civilian population.
But Putin's wider war on Ukraine launched in February has been its proving ground.

Outnumbered, outgunned, and outmanned, Ukraine has nevertheless fought back against a Russian military that thought it would romp through the vast majority of the country within a matter of weeks, if not days.

Maybe Americans can use this method against Fed.gov

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
What exactly is so special about this? weren’t these tactics frist documented in 1937 by china? Having been used previously even? Just because we spend billions on a PDF I don’t think we deserve much credit especially after loosing no less than 3 times to armies using similar tactics.
“a method of resistance warfare developed by US special operations forces “
It was only catalogued by them. It was developed by Iraqi’s and Palestinians.
Some thoughts:
1. It works ONLY against an invader who is trying to avoid civilian casualties...the “civilized” opponent.
2. It broadens the targets of the invaded country to include every building, every piece of infrastructure.
And, if the more powerful opponent decides to go scorched earth, it results in ENORMOUS civilian casualties and total destruction.
Is this really what the FR community wants to become? Haberdashers hawking bits of warmongering, bloodthirsty fake news. Over and over again?
Why do you pollute the forum with your neo isolationist claptrap?
I know. It’s sad. Why TPTB don’t take a firm stand on this and sack these warmongers, I have no idea.
“The Resistance Operating Concept”
I guess that sounds better than “we will fight until the last Ukrainian”.
Just imagine what they would accomplish with a competent High Command and a government actively working to help its own country!
Hi, Bert. Well over 90% of FReepers polled do not want us involved in an ugly civil war in Eastern Europe. We also don’t support FR being spammed with warmongering propaganda supporting the ultraleftist Stalinazi Soros/Schwab globalist agenda that pushes us to WW3 with Russia. This is not a globalist website. If opposing that agenda offends you, I’d suggest an alternative leftist forum, since every article in support of this globalist agenda comes from a left-wing source.
Do they mention the Ukie victory in the Battle of Kiev?
What a glorious battle that was.
Sorosbot troll posting fake news cries “not fake.”
Tell ‘em about the “Ghost of Kiev” ! Tell ‘em ! Tell ‘em !
