Can anyone provide links or information on how modern military tatics work today. Such as suppression and maneuevring tatics, and how a military operation operation works, like in Band of Brothers.

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Umm, one side starts shooting at the other side, and then the other side dies.

Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

Fire & maneuver, plus what I will call 'firepower superiority' which is basically shooting more bullets than your foe.
Of course, it gets much more detailed than that for the thousands of engagements one can come across.

Move and Shoot...thats a tactic used by smaller forces to make it seem like they have overwhelming firepower against a larger force.

I was planning on coming in here and giving you some spectacular advice because I write also. But when you said miltary I'm like crap. The stuff I write is fiction. Cause I like to do the impossible.

Well actually.....I learned a lot of tactics playing Ghost Recon. Map the area out, reload before going in battle, etc.

Establish, Strike & Move. Three things ive learned.. Establish your position. Strike the oposition(ryhme hehe). & move on. Also there is secure & retrieve, NEUTRALIZE(self explainitory), fall back(real way of saying retreat), patrol, & smoke tactics(things like talking to a hostage taker & your guys getting from the back). I know alot of this stuff because im making a SWAT movie.

I'm not sure, but I think they still use guerilla warfare (strike and retreat) and not sure about todays, but in WW1 trenches were used a lot!
