98. Effects

a. Guerrilla operations wear down and inflict casualties upon the enemy, cause damage to supplies and facilities, and hinder and delay enemy operations. The success of guerrilla operations—even the fact that the guerrillas continue to exist—lowers enemy morale and prestige; disrupts the economy, politics, and industry of the enemy or enemy occupied areas; and maintains the morale and will to resist of the native population.

b. Because guerrilla operations are primarily directed against lines of communication, industrial facilities and key installations, they impede or interdict the movement of men and materiel and seriously affect the enemy’s capability to supply, control, and communicate with his combat forces. In addition, the enemy is compelled to divert manpower and equipment to combat guerrilla activities.
