Engaging hostile forces in urban areas

In today’s unstable world, guerrilla groups and terrorist organizations often hide in densely populated urban areas, making it nearly impossible to engage them directly. Traditional rules of war, established centuries ago, are difficult to follow when combatants must fight enemies who hide among civilians.

In such conditions, every move, shot, and engagement must be carefully calculated. Predicting the enemy’s behavior and planning for all possible scenarios are crucial.

Imagine a group of militants occupying an apartment in a residential building, surrounded by regular families. These civilians, knowingly or unknowingly, serve as a human shield for the militants, who feel safe and untouchable. There may even be hostages.

No such operation is possible without reliable intelligence. However, even with the best information, a single mistake can lead to failure. This is where extensive training in various scenarios becomes essential.

Trango’s modular infrastructure for combat training is designed to address these challenges, making it a must-have for effective urban warfare training.

There are many variables to consider: entry and exit points, the location of terrorists and civilians, and even furniture placement. Here’s how Trango’s modular infrastructure can help:

Build Exact Replicas

Use Trango’s modular shoot houses and walls to create an exact replica of the targeted apartment, including doors, windows, halls, rooms, and auxiliary spaces. If needed, you can build the entire building structure to train for different entry and exit points. The modular design allows you to reassemble the floorplan in half an hour to a few hours, simulating various layouts.

Simulate Different Settings

Furniture placement, both indoors and outdoors, affects tactics, weapon choice, timing, and other operational details. Use Trango’s functional furniture to create various settings and practice different tactical approaches.
