Abstract
Guerrilla warfare is a type of combat that's fought by a civilian population or other people who aren't part of a typical military unit. Often, guerrilla warriors are attempting to overthrow an existing government or are rebelling against a much larger, organized military forces. The word guerrilla means "little war" in Spanish and the term was first documented during one of the Napoleonic War, when the British enlisted Spanish and Portuguese guerrillas to help them overthrow the French from the Iberian Peninsula. A variety of other words mean pretty much the same thing as guerrilla, including rebel, insurgent, irregular, and partisan. But frustrated military commanders have consistently damned them as barbarians, savages, terrorists, brigands, outlaws, and bandits. Guerrilla combat often involves surprise attacks such as ambushes and raids, or sabotage of a vulnerable target. Though guerrilla troops use this kind of improper tactics it seems well organized when it examine deeply. So the purpose of this article is to examine and elaborate the guerilla warfare into deep.
