Special report nr. 413. Guerrilla warfare in Southeast Asia – actions and counteractions, December 1959.
No full textThe following discussion of Communist guerrilla warfare takes its lead from principles outlined for that type of war by Communist China's leader, Mao Tse-tung. Mao's guerrilla catechism was tested in action by Chinese Communists in battles against the Japanese and against the Nationalist Chinese forces of Chiang Kai-shek. The Mao concepts were later to be used by Communist Chinese terrorists in Malaya, where the enemy included native Malay forces and specially trained British troops. Communist Viet Minh President Ho Chi Minh and General Vo Nguyen Giap adopted Mao's guerrilla principles to the war for "liberation" from the French in Indochina. Mao's guerrilla doctrines have become the manual for Communist guerrilla action in the Far East. Since Communist guerrilla moves are always a possibility in future Communist aggression in the area, antiguerrilla tactics must evolve from efforts to meet the type of guerrilla action Mao prescribes and that Communist forces are known to use. British and French forces developed military tactics to meet guerrilla situations. The British succeeded, and the French failed, though admittedly in a more difficult set of circumstances. Much can be learned from both experiences, and this study goes into the strategy of both nations. Table of contents: communist concepts for revolutionary war; operations in Malaya; areas of unrest; operations in Indochina; and a summary
"How the Army does smart" : smart cities and installations of the future.
