The Fallujah model
Article Abstract:
The Iraqi operations in November 2004, which swept the town Fallujah have marked the unveiling of an urban-warfare model based on persistent air surveillance, precision air strikes, and swift airlift support. The model unveiled at Fallujah has taken the urban operations to a new and higher level that adds to the margin of superiority for forces on ground and takes the pursuit of major targets to a new level of competence through ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) and on-call strike.
