"There is nothing new in warfare", the saying goes, and to a certain degree that is true.- A debate on whether operations in the 21st Centaury have taught us anything new might well prove otherwise. Rarely does one encounter something entirely new and "game changing at the small infantry tactics level appropriate to training for our troops today, or in the future. That is as true of "urban warfare" as it is in any other tactical domain. Or is it? Is there something new out there we have not encountered? If so, what effect is that likely to have on the development of training regimes?
Royal Thai Marines practice weapons handling skills before advancing through the MOUT town at the training area during exercise "Cobra Gold-2012", a recurring multinational and multiservice exercise co-hosted by the United Kingdom of Thailand and the US designed to advance regional security by exercising a multinational force from nations sharing common goals and security commitments in the Asia-Pacific region.
