"Village fighting is not a specialist's task. It is every infantryman's job."

Some of the tactics have changed for the better but they came from high-intensity urban combat against peer opponents. It is only to our advantage that we look back at how our predecessors overcame the same/similar challenges. @ChasAHKnight
