 * Guerrilla warfare** is irregular warfare, conflicts in which a small group or army uses military tactics, like ambushes and raids, to harass a larger and less-mobile traditional army. The term means "little war" in Spanish, and the word, //guerrilla//, has been used to describe the concept since the 18th century, and perhaps earlier. Guerrilla warfare describes a conflict between armed civilians and a regular army, either foreign or domestic, where the armed civilians use tactics such as ambush, sabotage, the element of surprise, and extraordinary mobility to strike a vulnerable target and withdraw almost immediately.
