Olvanan Urban Doctrine and Tactics - Enclosure Warfare

This video provides an overview of how an Olvanan Mechanised unit will advance in urban terrain utilising methods to mask manoeuvres such as obscuration and tunnelling.

The Storming Attack is an Olvanan tactic that involves rapid penetration into an Objective, using explosives and engineering equipment to create breaches prior to clearing the target area

Trishula Storming is the Olvanan tactical term for breaching obstacles in urban terrain utilising various forms of explosives and is centred on an Olvanan 3-man team

The Snatch Attack is an Olvanan tactic used to seize unprepared defended positions in an urban environment

This defence strategy uses the concealment provided by urban terrain to set up dispersed, well-protected positions that integrate sensors and firepower. It focuses on denying the enemy freedom of movement and requires extensive use of remote and autonomous systems​​.

Degradation defence aims to wear down the enemy through continuous and varied engagements. It exploits urban terrain for ambushes, creating psychological impacts and degrading the enemy's combat power over time​​.

Channelled defence in urban warfare focuses on directing enemy movements into predetermined kill zones where they can be engaged effectively. This tactic utilizes the urban layout to canalize enemy forces into less advantageous positions​​.

This tactic employs concealment and deception to minimize exposure while manoeuvring in urban environments. It often involves the use of obscurants and terrain to mask movements and intentions​​.

This method integrates combined arms teams and joint effects, tailored to urban settings. It's characterized by a high degree of task organization and C2 integration, utilizing AI to optimize movement and engagement plans​​.

Enclosed manoeuvres are detailed under various sub-tactics such as enclosure-infiltration and penetration lanes, focusing on creating pathways through enemy defences and exploiting urban terrain for strategic advantages​​.

This tactic involves deploying multiple detachments via independent approaches to concentrate combat power at a strategic objective. It leverages dispersal to reduce vulnerability against enemy countermeasures, particularly in urban settings​​.

This tactic involves rapidly enclosing an enemy within a defined urban area, leveraging surprise and swift manoeuvres. The focus is on isolating the enemy quickly and efficiently, using a combination of direct fire and obstacles to hinder their movements, effectively trapping them for a decisive strike.

This tactic refers to the establishment of fortified positions by small units within an urban or field setting. These positions are strategically chosen to offer maximal defensive advantage, enabling units to hold critical points with minimal personnel.

Involves the use of concealment techniques to obscure troop movements and intentions. Forces employ natural cover, smoke, or other obscurants to mask their actions, allowing them to manoeuvre unseen or mislead the enemy about their actual numbers and positions.

Containment operations focus on preventing enemy forces from exiting a designated zone or reaching critical assets. This is achieved through establishing a perimeter with forces capable of repelling any breakout attempts, combined with surveillance and rapid reaction teams to address any breaches.

A defensive posture that prepares for attacks from any direction, ensuring 360-degree security. This involves setting up overlapping fields of fire, continuous patrols, and sensors to cover all potential threat vectors, maintaining high readiness and rapid response capabilities.

Utilises terrain and urban structures to shield forces from enemy fire, creating a three-dimensional hide that provides protection from various angles. This tactic emphasizes the importance of positioning and the strategic use of environmental features to reduce vulnerability.

The Strike Attack is an Olvanan tactic used as part of Enclosure Warfare to deliver heavy munitions or demolition charges onto an objective prior ground forces seizing said objective. It is designed to cause significant damage and casualties to the defenders’

The Mechanised Urban Assault details how Olvana will conduct an assault on an objective by Mechanised units in an urban environment utilising speed, surprise, AFV heavy weapons and obscurants to minimise friendly casualties.
