Summary/Abstract: The operations conducted by modern guerrilla movements are an expression of the irregular armed confrontation, giving substance to a complex phenomenon, of an unconventional nature. Modern guerrillas operate in a particular manner that nullify the advantages of regular forces and allows for the survival and development of the movement. Their operations are based on assumtions that time never ends, sizing space is not of a great importance, and the final objective is not to annihilate the enemy but to degrade its fighting will. Guerrilla operations mean clandestine posture and innovative approach. They are conducted with the support of the people and represent a hidden power, whose effects cannot be easily quantified.
