      - Urban Ops Fundamentals
        conduct focused information operations;
        control the essential;
        minimize collateral damage;
        separate non-combatants from combatants;
        restore essential services;
        preserve critical infrastructure;
        understand the human dimension; and
        understand environmental effects on operations.
    - - Jungle Defensive Operations
        Limitations.
        
        Density of terrain absorbs manpower;
        
        Limited visibility;
        
        Short field of fire;
        
        Lack of visual communication between defensive elements;
        
        High ground does not typically offer better observation or fields of fire;
        
        Surface LOCs are highly vulnerable;
        
        Advantages.
        
        Natural concealment;
        
        Defender will typically have knowledge of the area;
        
        Defender can remain quiet and undetected while the attacker makes noise
        
        Jungle is a natural obstacle;

    - - Characteristics of Military Operations in Desert Environment
        Troops must be physically, mentally and professionally prepared
        Acclimatization required (4-5//7-14 days)
        Populated areas are widely dispersed
        Very few roads normally exist
        Adverse affects on vehicles, weapons, and equipment
        Visibility
        Camouflage/Concealment can be difficult
        Hazard of flash floods
        Desert Winds
        Greater demands of combat supplies, parts, and water

        Temperature Variations
        Thermal bending
        Optical Path bending
        Static electricity
        Radiant Light
        
        Planning Considerations
        Distances and open ground are ideal for manoeuvre
        Armoured and mechanized forces are best suited for this environment
        Airmobile and air-landed forces can provide quick reinforcement
        Very large areas likely to stretch LOCs
        Long fields of fire and observation
        Artillery must be concentrated to have effects
        Reserves must be highly mobile
        Engr requirements will be large for defensive stores
