Attack Positions

Attack positions are used only occasionally during night ops, and normally they are only occupied for brief periods of time due to their propensity for suffering spoiling attacks. However, the enemy force may need to pick up some special equipment or weapons along the way or receive additional instructions from higher command that require a quick stop for dissemination to the small unit leaders, and the attack position may be that place. Potential attack positions should be mined rather than ambushed, and the mines should be placed throughout the position.

Routes

If the enemy is lacking in reconnaissance measures, routes of march can be some of the easiest and most effective control measures along which to lay ambushes. These routes are usually chosen by terrain and their proximity to and attitude toward the enemy's objective. Oftentimes, guides are forward-deployed by the enemy maneuvering force to assist the smaller units in finding their lines of deployment. Guerrillas must be cautious to remain hidden from these guides.

If manpower permits, guerrilla scouts must be placed along all potential avenues of approach to watch for signs of enemy movement. Be aware of ruses; the enemy may send in recon and scout teams along routes they have no intention of using in order to draw guerrilla forces away from their true route.

Radios

The enemy will no doubt have radios from the squad level on up. Guerrilla sharpshooters should make it a priority to target those troops with radios on their backs and anyone who is called to speak into the handset by the radio operator-this is almost always a leader.
