Detailed explanation-1: -Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which small groups of combatants, such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars, use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility, to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military.
Detailed explanation-2: -Guerrillas make use of hit-and-run tactics and will frequently harass an enemy’s infrastructure (in a revolution) or the enemy’s supply lines (in an invasion).
Detailed explanation-3: -Although units operate independently, they have a common political objective (overthrow the existing government, defeat occupying armies, etc.) linked to the aspirations of the people. Guerrilla warfare is commonly referred to as “political war"; all warfare, however, is political.
Detailed explanation-4: -Throughout the American Civil War, as vast armies in blue and gray clashed on conventional battlefields, a drastically different kind of conflict was raging as well: a bloody guerrilla war that erupted in the South in response to Federal invasion.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hit-and-run tactics are a tactical doctrine of using short surprise attacks, withdrawing before the enemy can respond in force, and constantly maneuvering to avoid full engagement with the enemy.
