Having been involved with the old name Military Operations in Urban Terrain as Operation Continue Hope turned into The Battle of Mogadishu.
The current extensive Use of RPGs, Handgrenades, our Grenade Launchers was to easy to make mistakes like bounce backs, thing comes right back in your direction, then boom. Semi automatic only, aim squeeze trigger, if low on ammunition kill them as close as you as possible, get any or all of what they have and their weapon, and know how to select semi automatic on the right side of weapon (AK-47), magazine release to reload.
At Afghanistan more Military Operations in Urban Terrain, Street to Street, Room to Room, Building to Building, figured out Rooftop to Rooftop. AC-130s accurately firing at building across the street. Surviving the Battle of Mogadishu we made sure that we did not run out of ammunition, same idea just in case kill as many as close to you as possible, we don't aim center of mass we aim for the neck, bullet high shot in head, bullet low upper chest below neck, on target in the neck.
What they did to make things worse, road blocks, and when you stopped of course they launched RPGs, threw handgrenades from roof tops, when you got out of vehicle they made sure that they had blocked the doors of the buildings with almost everything that was in the building so that you get suck in the open in the street in a kill zone. Fortunately for Us they had not started making the 100 pounds to 1000 pounds Pakistanis Fertilizer Bombs (Improvised Explosive Devices).
Iraq as deployed from Afghanistan 2001 the City of Sargat Iraq. More Military Operations in Urban Terrain except much easier than Afghanistan 2001. Full support of U.S. Air Force Special Operations Wings, AC-130s, F-15 Strike Eagles, etc..
This movie accurately depicts some, not all of what is involved with Military Operations in Urban Terrain, and also has some tactical mistakes that they made and the deadly consequences.
When I got involved with the Iran Iraq Wars, glad that was Conventional Warfare out in the open and not at any Iraqis City. The same with CIA Operation Cyclone most of that was Mountain Warfare, lots of ambushes to make the U.S.S.R. Bases run low on food and ammunition, sometimes infiltration into the U.S.S.R. Bases.
Not going to rate this with Stars. If I did would be 11 stars. Too many memories of too many losses of as to how deadly Military Operations in Urban Terrain is. Being in Command leading from the front, Survivor's Guilt.
