Today, Urban Combat techniques are being revised and soldiers trained in these skills to an unprecedented level. In any future conflict, it would be impossible for armies to avoid fighting in towns and cities. This realization has led all NATO armies and the Soviet Army to place a new emphasis on Fighting in Built Up Areas. The story of Urban Combat, from World War II to the Gulf conflict, makes compelling reading. More
