Why didn't the US Militay liaise with the British military ?
I was taught FIBUA (Fighting In Built Up Areas) as a teenage military cadet, and again in the reserve Military in the early 90's.

Small Unit Tactics AAR

Hi Steve, thanks for the quick reply - just got back to the Forums.
I assumed no co-operation as the AAR infers all the lessons were learnt by the USMC in recent combat. Most of what is in there I knew in 1992, an example, the following...
"The Marines should have some dispersion, and the pace of the running should not be so fast that the Marines are uncontrolled and not maintaining all around security"
...the British Army was teaching this 20 years ago...why didn't our US allies learn from us?
I was in the Reserves so I never had to serve in Northern Ireland, but all my PI's (Permanent Instructors) did, and they weere always willing to teach...hell, we were all taught that the guy who gains the first entry gap and lobs the grenades is NOT the guy who then ebters the room first.
I am astonished that the USMC needed the AAR and the lessons learnt therin - surly it must have known all of this BEFORE Fallujah ?
