Taliban diaries
And yes they won
Study past wars involving insurgencies. Some methods were effective (IEDs), most were not (ambushing up-armored HMVEs with small arms fire).
On a very high level, destruction of morale is the most effective means to stall enemy movement. Block food shipments, injure/mame/kill using passive techniques that don't require your presence. Like trip wire explosives, punji stick traps, tank traps (shallow tunnels across roads). Double points for the tank trap if you cause them to rush forward at full speed when they hit it. The inside of a tank is an extremely unforgiving environment for your body to slam into.
Avoid gunfights, you'll lose when they pin you with automatic fire then call in air or artillery
isn't the key to guerillas winning maintaining popular support though?
>block food shipments
seems counterintuitive, unless you mean strictly doing so to the enemy, which I can understand being easier in the case of guerilla warfare against a foreign invader, but what about in a domestic civil war?
Strictly the enemy. You hopefully have food stored as an attacker, troops require crazy amounts of food and only carry a couple MREs to hold them until they get back to base which has almost normal food being delivered by truck.
Just read some books on Al Qaeda and The Taliban/War(s) in Afghanistan. One man's freedom fighter is another mans terrorist and all that
Also Invisible Armies by Max Boot.
also, also Che Guevara wrote a bunch about the cuban revolution and what not.
since im assuming majority on /k/ are american, let me phrase a new question:
you decide you want to wage a guerilla war against the United States - what do you require in order to be successful?
>you decide you want to wage a guerilla war against the United States - what do you require in order to be successful?
Alright, so you don't "George Washington Crosses the Delaware" your way into power you have to create an alternative government that locals can welcome and support. Incognito like at first until you are able to operate with impunity in pockets that grow in size. Once those pockets become the majority and you can dictate when and where the fight happens then you have the high cards in the fight. Guerilla Warfare is government replacement through the consent of the people. Anything less is just some buttholes with guns blowing shit up sometimes.
This means nothing less than and I do mean NOTHING less than a complete collapse of every federal and state database, every financial institution, every hospital, every military base, every post office, every public library and every public works department.
Then when that's been the status quo for a couple years with zero government ability to intervene THEN you might be successful
as an addendum the likelihood of ever getting one over on uncle sam are slim to fricking none.
If you were born in America, purchased property in America, Had a bank account in America or even so much as visited a National Park and signed in the government can and will find you. Guerilla Warfare against the US is suicide
This is bait
>Has a bank account and therefore a source of income and an estimation of the amount of resources you can afford
>Has a Social Security Number and therefore a work history to figure out where your local support network is based
>Has a phone and internet and therefore a complete list of contacts that could be watched and monitored to see if you contact.
Uncle Sam has a weapons grade dick made of $800 Billion in taxes and he will frick you with it and then throw himself a parade when he finishes
It has 33 trillion in debt
It has hyperinflation
It has media that gaslights the public into believing everything is ok
It has civilian aircraft maintenance vendors who would be easy targets considering the amount of maintenance required on jets
It uses civilian contractors to build weapons and munitions
I don't think you've thought this through entirely. But I still believe you glow and this is a form of penetration testing.
Either way I'm not promoting the idea, I'm stating observations.
look, we know what kind of LARPer you are, you're only trying to convince yourself at this point
And you're a coward.
The hell are you talking about? You find me three yokels on the street ready to charge into Fort Liberty's machine guns right now because of the fricking debt. And even if you do
*and even if you do, good riddance
>It has hyperinflation
You are moronic if you think that's the case. Now go ahead and make the argument that deflation is better.
That’s IF the person in question dumb enough to stay at and/or use any of that
Guerilla warfare takes time, money, resources and support. If you're going to acquire any of that someones name has to be on something doing the same innocuous thing for years. How do you think they catch Drug Dealers and money launderers? Professional pattern solvers and people catchers are really fricking good at this shit.
>>what are the best books for studying and applying guerilla warfare
don't know, just read the complexity of modern warfare and sometimes feels like a guerrilla manual about the strategic layer
>what should be the first targets in a guerilla campaign
The whole point of why you are rebelling compared with the rest of the population
>how do guerilla fighters combat modern 21st century control systems / immense firepower differentials
The same way all do, by not being there, by being part of the population and by making the enemy do mistakes or taking advantage of any weakness or oversight
>would guerilla fighters ever be able to overthrow entrenched 1st world regimes
Yes, with external help and by not limiting yourself to the military realm it is possible.

Here are some of the books on that topic from my personal library.
you forgot Total Resistance
I have it but it's pretty dated.
where did you get physical copies of Improvised Munitions and the various field/technical manuals?
Amazon for the munitions manuals, and Military Clothing and Sales for the S.F and Ranger manuals.
The first thing you need for guerilla warfare is a high birth rate, like 10 kids per woman. The casualties will be high, you'll never win without the replacements. The best anti-guerilla weapon ever devised was feminism, and guerilla movements will never succeed in a 1st world regime because of it.
Guerilla war against the USG would never work because this hypothetical guerilla force wouldn't have popular support (most Americans wouldn't shelter or supply a guerilla if it meant they might get arrested) or a foreign sanctuary (Mexico and Canada would just deport any Guerillas that try to hide from Uncle Sam).
If you wanted to defeat the USG, you would need to infiltrate and subvert it from within. Forming a mafia or secret society within the CIA, DoJ, DoD, or DHS could cripple the ability of the USG or steer it in a direction that you want.
Research the Black Ocean Society, the Black Dragon Society and their secret war against Chinese secret societies in Manchuria in the lead-up to WW2
