Your forces. Furthermore, coordination can allow a commander a more flexible use of his forces. Second, creating a combined arm battlegroup should probably be the Modus operandi of an urban operation. Third, Reece and information gathering operations are critical. ⬇️

Or at least have a good map of the area. Fourth, working slow is the fastest method to seize the urban area. Fifth, Mission command has it's limitations and sometimes the commander should take direct control. Sixth, the enemy has advantages in so many way. ⬇️
