Guerrilla Warfare:
Guerrilla Warfare is a form of irregular warfare & refers to conflicts in which small groups or a group
of combatants including but not limited to, armed civilians (also called “irregulars”) use military tactics like;
ambushes, raids, assassination, sabotage, maneuver warfare tactics & espionage methods to achieve a high
degree of mobility an harass a larger and less mobile military force or strike vulnerable & key targets then
withdraw before the enemy has time to retaliate.

The term guerrilla is Spanish for little war & has been described as a codified concept from the 18th
century but with far older roots in history...

Ninjitsu:
Ninjitsu is a modern martial art, for of budo, that mixes the strategy and tactics of historical ninjitsu;
stealth, evasion, infiltration, escape, survival, psychological manipulation, scouting, sabotage, espionage &
commando-style guerrilla tactics to achieve political and military goals. Ninjitsu skills can be traced back to
the Ashuka Period of Japan before the formation of Ryu-ha (Family Schools/Styles) during the Tokugawa
Period & has been a huge Influence on the modern world thanks so the Japanese Intelligence Officer named
Seiko Fujita a former instructor at the famed Nakano School of Espionage in WW2 Japan.

Ninjitsu & Guerrilla Warfare in the 20th Century:

Under Seiko Fujita many espionage agents (spies) and commandos were taught the skills of ninjitsu;
specifically depersonalization, manipulation, intelligence gathering, escape, evasion & infiltration, etc. The
espionage agents of Nakano; trained various guerrilla-cells to fight against Chinese & allied forces during
WW2 & was the element which later lead to the creation of the Alamo-Scouts (the basis for modern US Army
Special Forces units) and the CIA doctrine involving proxy warfare.
Several of the War Crimes of the Japanese; many more brutal then the acts of the Nazis, was swept
under the rug by the trading intelligence about the Russians, Chinese, Americans, British and other nations to
Allied Forces.
Thus we examine the philosophy of the guerrilla warfare modern and arcane; dealing with the training
of proxy forces and the employment of guerrilla-trained proxy forces in the 20th & 21st Century.

Militia:
A body of citizens enlisted or forced into paramilitary/military service from normal citizenry for
emergencies & distinguished from professional soldiers. Most often, militiamen/guerrilla soldiers have less
training & discipline then professional soldiers.
Compare the Guerrilla to the Professional Soldier:
Skill of the Above-Average Guerrilla-Soldier: Skills of the Average Professional-Soldier:
Marksmanship; approx. 100 to 200 meter distance Physical Fitness
Camouflage & Disguise* Debriefing & Field Intelligence
Improvised Explosive Devises/Booby Traps* Marksmanship; approx. 300 to 500 meter distance
Battle Drills; Team Tactics Camouflage
Debriefing & Field Intelligence* Field Fortifications
Indoctrination & Propaganda* Battle Drills & Tactics; Team & Individual
First-Aid
*Denotes Specialized Skills... Hand-to-Hand Combatives
Land Navigation
Leadership Training
Teamwork & Mental Conditioning
 The Ninjitsu, method of training a guerrilla soldier functions a bit differently especially in the modern
world of the information age where modern methods and age-old methods can be blended into a more
effective system of training.

Ninja-Trained Guerrilla:
Martial Arts: Uses forms training to develop fitness and fighting skills; the focus on martial arts training
develops discipline & prowess in the individual...
Field Craft & Survival: Used to develop survival skills to acquire; 1. Self-Defense (improvised weapons), 2.
Shelter (spider hole & lean-to), 3. Water (filtering, boiling & finding water) & 4. Food (trapping, hunting &
scavenging) from nature without the need for supply lines. Booby-traps used to catch animals can use made
larger to catch men as well...
Stealth & Evasion: Used to teach camouflage, disguise, infiltration, escape & evasion skills...
Weapons: Additional training in marksmanship, staff/bayonet, chain, garrote & knife-combat/sentry
removal...
Strategy & Tactics: Both individual tactics and team based combat principles allows a ninja-trained guerrilla
to act as a “lone wolf” or organized into small teams...

Guerrilla-Camp Schedule:
• Day 1:
Arrival, early morning, job to camp site & begin constructing shelters; lean-to & staffs. Trainees, begin
by learning basic staff drills and a kata drill; in this case the Kata Dante short form & 5-Element Form. Then
trainee's spend a few hours on the 5-strategies; Earth (defense), Wind/Metal (evasion), Fire (attack), Water
(flanking) and Void/Wood (dividing). Trainee's then return to practicing the Kata Dante & 5-Element Form;
then have the form broken down into basic individual techniques.
• Day 2:
Trainees wake up and repeat the days activities at a faster pace, after scavenging wild greens and
constructing traps to catch the evening meals. Training uses short sticks to begin basic knife-work and
practicing sentry removal skills from; above, below, behind & the front, as well as braiding vines into a field-
expedient garrote. Tracking prey for the evening meal with sharpened staffs as spears, this forces the trainees
to apply team tactics. Followed by navigation by the sun and stars
• Day 3:
Trainees learn the doctrine of maneuver warfare strategies in application of greater skills and begin by
being divided up into teams and lead through a force-on-force “war game” using sticks as “guns.” Followed
by a various individual training drills as outline below to develop a foundation for the individual(s) to
continue training on their own. While this does not create excellent marksmen; it does develop an intuitive
understanding of strategy & tactics...
This is followed by the 5 strategies of inpo; Earth (hiding as quail), Water (hiding as a fox), Wind
(hiding as cat), Fire (hiding behind light) & Void (disguise & hiding in plain sight). The camp ends with a
night-time silent run to leave the camp and allow the trainees to apply the lesson's learned at the camp.

Training Exercises:
Training is a substitute for experience; mistakes in training can be learned from while mistakes in
combat are often final...
• Sparring: Used to develop individual skills in application of martial arts techniques.
• Sparring Blind-folded: Used to develop intuitive sense of body & prepare the for night time
operations.
• Scenario Drills: War gaming used to develop a sense of purpose and simulate experience to build
confidence.
Individual 5-Element Tactics:
Earth: Linear Backward
Air/Metal: Diagonal Forward to Opponent's Outside to get behind or Side stepping.
Water: Circular to the Side & forward
Fire: Straight Forward
Void/Wood: Circular to the Side & backward

Team 5-Element Tactics:

Earth: Double Trap-Line & Hammer-&-Anvil; press the
enemy between the counter-assault force and the trap-
line...

Air/Metal: Bound away under cover-fire & allows

the enemy to move forward into a booby trapped
kill-zone to be ambushed...

Water: Suppress the enemy and flank them from

cover/concealment...

Fire: Surround the enemy and attack from different

points, one point attacking while another retreats to
exhaust the enemy in combat...
Void/Wood: Divide into lone operatives to reorganize and harass the enemy from behind the enemy lines.
Each individual soldier now becomes the “leader” of a guerrilla band & carries out mission by his own
experience and ability. Some soldiers will remain fighting men on a battlefield while others engage in
sabotage, espionage & assassination to aid front-line soldiers in their fight against the enemy...

Maneuver Warfare Strategies:

1. When the enemy advances; we retreat...
2. When the enemy retreats; we advance...
3. When the enemy camps; we harass...
4. When the enemy tires of battle; we attack...
5. Become the friend of enemy's people; while making the enemy an enemy of people...
6. When the enemy seek supporters; alienate him...
7. When an enemy claims Strength; show his weaknesses...
8. When the enemy declares weakness; show strength...
9. Conceal Plans & Attack from Hidden Places; so that the enemy cannot know where you are...
10. Steal the enemy's supplies & equipment; destroy what is you do not take to build up your own forces...

Espionage Warfare:
1. The direct tactic of war is necessary only on the battlefield, but only the indirect tactic can lead to a
real and lasting victory...
2. Subvert anything of value in the enemy’s country. Implicate the emissaries of the major powers in
criminal undertakings; undermine their position and destroy their reputations in other ways as well;
and expose them to the public ridicule of the their fellow citizens...
3. Do not shun the aid of even the lowest and most despicable people. Disrupt the work of their
government with every means you can...
4. Spread disunity and dispute among the citizens of the enemy’s country. Turn the young against the old.
Use every means to destroy their arms, their supplies, and discipline of the enemy’s forces...
5. Debase old traditions and accepted gods. Be generous with promises and rewards to purchase
intelligence and accomplices. Send out your secret agents in all directions. Do not skimp with money
or with promises, for they yield a high return...
6. Do not harm the enemy's population but engage his soldiers when possible; this allows you to claim to
be fighting in service to his people and to make them your allies...

The Guerrilla-Soldier's Kit:

When referring to the Guerrilla's kit I am referring to the basic items used by the guerrilla in the field
that make the best of the skills taught in the basic three day camp. These items are acquired by the guerrilla
and are divided up into three categories; combat items, support items & specialized items. The basic guerrilla
kits is outline here;
Combat Gear:
Rifle or Carbine: Most commonly the STEN light machine gun which can be made from items acquired at a
hardware store or any semi-auto battle-rifle like the AR15, AK47, M14, Mosin-Nagant or similar.
Magazines or Ammo Pouches: A means of loading or reloading one's rifle or carbine...
Knife: A basic tool for cutting and sentry removal...
Pistol: If possible have a pistol for infiltration drills, so that you have a weapon easily concealed...

Support Gear:
Canteen: Used to carry water for drinking...
Poncho: Can be used to make a field expedient shelter...
Mess Kit: If all else all you need is a small pot, a can opener and a spoon...
Pencil & Note Pad: For taking notes, passing information & sending messages...
Rations: Ration is a general term for food stuffs divided into meals or daily allotments. This can be a can of
soup a meal or small sack of rice & beans a day...
String: String is used to make traps, secure items & secure prisoners but 550 Parachute is better...
Back-Pack: To carry all your gear

Specialized Gear: Gear reserved for operations, those with specialized skills in addition to basic kit...
Rope and/or Grappling-Hook: Perfect for finding mines, IEDs or scaling surfaces in urban or mountainous
terrain...
Camera or Video Camera: Used for securing pictures of enemy locations, actions and methods for planning
and intelligence reasons...
IEDs: Improvised explosive devises that are the “poor-man's” mines & hand grenades.
“Sniper Rifles”: A better quality rifle in the hands of someone who is an expert shot or even a really good one
will create a guerrilla-sniper capable of hitting human targets in the head at 200 meters and center mass on
human targets at 600 meters.
Bolt-Cutters: Used to infiltrate locked areas, fences and cut power lines.
Radio & Binoculars: For scouting and finding enemy locations and reporting them back...
Medical Gear: For patching up team members and establishing field clinics at base camps...
Mortars & RPGs: Crew served of individual explosive weapons used to cause shock & confusion or knock out
enemy positions. These also serve in harassing the enemy as they cause a lot of psychological shock and can
be easily moved or abandoned if need be...
Trucks/Cars: Useful to support units to move people and smuggle gear from one location to another...
PVC Pipe & Shovels: Used by support personnel to establish cache points for safe houses and resupply,
support units need on check the cache and restock it without actually interacting with guerrillas in the field to
maintain security...
Gardening Tools: Used for growing and store food stuffs in order to re-supply guerrilla units, especially for
small scale fire-team & squad sized units/cells...
Hand Saws, Axes & Shovels: Used to establish temporary or semi-permanent field fortifications for the
supply, organization, command & operation of guerrilla forces...

Guerrilla Rank Structure & Network:

The Guerrilla-cell is organized using different methods & below is a sample network & rank structure.
The guerrillas are often used as proxy forces by intelligence services like the CIA trained guerrillas during the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan & the training of the Contras in South America.
Prospect: Someone in a support role with no training and attempting to prove themselves to become trained...
Trainee/Recruit: A prospect trained in a basic 3 day camp and upon completion receives the rank of soldier;
with some elite recruits (1 per camp is desired) being promoted to Corporal at the end of the camp...
Soldier: A guerrilla rifleman that makes up a small 5 man fire-team lead by a Corporal...
Corporal: A guerrilla Jr. NCO who leads 1 of 2; 5 man fire-teams...
Sergeant: A guerrilla Jr. NCO who leads a squad, made of 2 fire teams...
Staff Sergeant: A guerrilla Sr. NCO who leads a platoon made of 4 squads...
Lieutenant: A Jr. Officer who handles squad organization & intelligence at the squad level beside the Staff
Sergeant...
1st Lieutenant: A Jr. Officer who handles company organization & intelligence made up of 4 rifle platoon & 1
support platoon...
Captain: An Officer who handles company command, organization & intelligence assisted by the 1st
Lieutenant...
Lieutenant Commander/Colonial: A Sr. Officer who handles battalion organization & intelligence made up
of 2 to 4 rifle companies and a support company...
Commander/General: A Sr, Officer who handles battalion command, organization & intelligence for a
regional area...
As the guerrilla cell grows from a simple fire-team sized cell to a small network of cells started by the
members of the first cells as the cells expand into larger organizations. The guerrilla cells, become company
sized local militias & network into regional battalions. Recruitment should extend from willing members of
the population who are unknowing prospects in support of guerrilla aims.

Ninja & the Guerrilla Network:

The Ninja Organization:
• Student: Prospect period or about a 1 to 3 months before the student is awarded their white belt...
• White Belt: Beginning student equal to a Recruit in rank...
• Yellow Belt: Equal to a Soldier
• Orange Belt: Equal to a Corporal
• Green Belt: Equal to a Sergeant
• Brown Belt: Equal to a Staff Sergeant
• 1st Degree Black Belt (genin): Equal to a Lieutenant; equal to Commander in Guerrilla's Rank
structure
• 3rd Degree Black Belt (chunin): Equal to a Lieutenant Commander
• 5th Degree Black Belt (jonin): Equal to a commander
• 6th Degree & above: Honorary ranks awarded for exemplary service and dedication.
Ninja-Agent: A genin who trains the guerrillas and sets up a proxy cell which later expands into a true
organization...
Proxy Group: A false group used to conceal the real threat; also known as a false flag operation...
Ninja-Trained Guerrillas: Guerrillas trained by the genin initially...
Guerrilla-Cells & Splinter Groups: Groups trained by guerrillas within the network or have broken off from
the network to establish themselves independently...
Terrorists: Terrorists are not guerrilla; though guerrilla tactics are used by terrorists & terrorizing the enemy
is a form of guerrilla harassment. Guerrillas target enemy personnel & terrorists target civilian populations...

Guerrilla Vs Terrorist:
Ninjitsu has been used by various groups and had an influence on modern intelligence work as well. It
is important to note that ninjitsu is a method or collection of methods but it is not specific to any groups. Like
all methods it can be used by anyone and everyone and will be used when the merit is there or the situation
dictates. As such the term “Ninja Organization” is generic meaning any group using ninjitsu...
Just as a ninja organization can be any group applying ninjitsu, the terms guerrilla & terrorist is also
generic; the phrase “One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter” comes to mind. Ninjitsu may be
used by national agencies, armies, terrorists or guerrillas but understanding that every cause has an effect and
a ninja organization cannot benefit from effectively without willing supporters. Thus the need to develop a
proxy force to serve the ninja organization's goals is present. The same proxy groups must have support to
function in their own areas of operation; meaning that senseless killing and terrorism is counter-productive to
the desired outcome.
Example:
Ninja Organization's Goal: Safety & Security of Whole Group...
Conditions for Goal: Threat of harm, harassment, crime or social turmoil low for whole community...
Steps/Phases to Goal:
Step/Phase 1: Population able to defend itself as individuals & community (training & organization).
Step/Phase 2: Intelligence networks established internally & externally.
Step/Phase 3: External networks established to conduct operations in prevention of threats.
Step/Phase 4: Establish proxy organization to confront enemy & build alliances.
Step/Phase 5: Develop proxy organization into larger popular force able to achieve political results.
Step/Phase 6: Security & larger defensive network for mutual defense.
Proxy Organization serves Ninja Organization Goal How:By distracting enemy from real threat and
diverting resources away from Ninja Organization. Proxy organization can be developed into larger political
organization with debt and alliances to ninja organization.
Proxy (Guerrilla) Organization's Goal: Safety & security for Proxy group...
Conditions of Goal: Threat of harm, harassment, crime or social turmoil low for whole community...
Steps/Phases to Goal:
Step/Phase 1: Development of paramilitary structure and training to develop a militant force.
Step/Phase 2: Intelligence networks established to target enemy weaknesses.
Step/Phase 3: Popular support gained to establish supply & networks among population.
Step/Phase 4: Population able to defend itself as individuals & community; as recruitment
increase size of militant forces.
Step/Phase 5: Forces main military & political power to create safe & secure environment.
Step/Phase 6: External networks established to conduct operations in prevention of threats.
Step/Phase 7: Security & larger defensive network for mutual defense with allied
organizations.
Supporters serves Goal How: Development of political reputations & formal/informal support
networks for mutual aid locally and can be expanded regionally as confederation. As support for proxy
group grows, ally's support also grows. As proxy groups security & prosperity increases so does Ninja
Organization's security & prosperity. While it is impossible for ninja organization to have full control
of proxy group it is still possible to influence proxy organization through; trade, alliances, politics &
agent advisers still within proxy groups command structure.

The Reasoning of the Proxy Guerrilla Force:

By not only using a proxy force to confront the enemy but also allowing the proxy force to gain
financial aid from the proxy force and the population supporting them; the ninja organization can bulk up their
strength while allowing someone else to fight their battles for them. The having the best soldiers on the
battlefield is pointless of the enemy is caught fighting in conflict without knowing their true enemy. This is
little different then the kid in grade school who tells one kid another kid did something to watch the two kids
fight it out and “beat up” the other kid without a need to actually risk getting into a fight himself.
The use of secret societies like the Cult of H'asan (The Historic Assassins), the Templar Knights, The
Ninja of Feudal Japan, The Nakano Agents of WW2 & Alamo Scouts of the US Army (the forerunners of the
US Special Forces) and even the modern Intelligence Community throughout the world have used Proxy
armies to test the strength & skill of their enemies and even develop some cannon-fodder to wear down the
enemy before the main or better skilled/equipment professional military force call more easily defeat the
enemy force in combat. Once the Proxy force becomes a regular military force the defeated enemy's
knowledge and skills are often assimilated and used to bulk up much of the previously proxy military force.
As the Proxy-Force becomes a legitimate military & political force the reminder of debts owed should
be the basis for establishing good relations & the unknown infiltrators who helped develop the proxy-forces
can be used to deplete resources and make the good relations with the ninja-organization more acceptable.
Similar events were seen among Russian-Mafia members who had KGB connections with events in the
Balkans after the fall of the Soviet Union allowing Russia to retain some measures of control of the illegal
activities of the former Soviet block countries & thus influence politics. As criminal bosses became military
leaders and political influences Russia retained some small measure of influence on the Balkan States;
economy, industry & politics.

Specialized-Guerrilla Training:
Guerrilla forces need specialized units and individuals to achieve specific results on the battlefield, but
since effectively training these specialized units without the proper resources is difficult the guerrilla force
must rely on those with skillsets from a variety of backgrounds; legal & illegal to achieve their aims.

Guerrilla Sniper:
Guerrilla snipers need to individuals with 1) a background or natural talent for marksmanship; hunters,
competition shooters, veterans, deserters & law enforcement officers make great base experiences & 2) a
willingness to assume responsibility and act alone without needing to be micro-managed. A guerrilla-sniper
must be able to hit a human sized target in the head with a 2inch shot group from a prone position at 200
meters (220 yards) and able to hit a human sized target center mass with a 9inch shot group at 600 meters
(660 yards). Snipers will also be used as scouts to observe and report back to guerrilla leaders the location of
enemy locations and activity.
Primary targets of the sniper should be enemy NCOs and Officers & equipment such as; radios,
generators, vehicles, fuel cans/tanks & fuse/breaker boxes.

Guerrilla Sapper:
Guerrilla sappers have a simple job infiltrate an enemy held position and sabotage and/or assassinate
enemy officers. A Sapper needs little but key equipment; grappling-hook, bolt cutters, shovel & IEDs if
possible, in Vietnam sappers would infiltrate US barracks and slit the throats of sleeping soldiers then escape
under the guise of a assault or raid and/or sabotage strike.
Sappers should be chosen from the “glory hogs” who want to test their limits as most sappers have
shot life expectancies in combat. Sappers need to also be intelligent enough to learn to build an IED, mix the
chemicals for an explosive and not get themselves killed in the attempt.

Guerrilla Combat-Engineers:
Basically anyone with a background in mining, mechanics or construction is your go-to-guy here. A
guerrilla's combat-engineer is going to be guys who will establish temporary bases, design and establish
tunnel networks, construct field-expedient power and water system for these and also act as general rifle
squads in defense of these positions. Combat-engineers are more of the support network used by Lieutenant's
& Commanders; those a few combat-engineers at the platoon level is also fairly common in some cases as
well.

Guerrilla (S&T) Support & Transportation:

The support & transportation crews need to be drawn from those with a law enforcement or criminal
background of smuggling as these are the people who best know how to by-pass enemy lines and get gear and
supplies past the enemy. Ideally the S&T guys just cache items and are never seen even by the guerrillas who
will be accessing the cache's the S&T guerrillas are setting up.
Guerrilla (NCO) Non-Commissioned-Officer Leaders:
Guerrilla NCOs must be chosen either from those who show they know how to leader & take
responsibility for not only themselves but others under their leadership or with a history of doing so; soldiers,
veterans, law-enforcement and even organized criminals like high ranking gang-members. Otherwise,
guerrilla must be taught in the basic training they receive the principles of leadership and share the role as
leader in basic team building exercises as follow up training as a guerrilla soldier.

Leadership Development Training Drills:

• Double Bind: Place the soldier in a position where stress becomes an issue for example a Staff
Sergeant may order the soldier to scrub the floor, while another sergeant demands the soldiers “mop up
this mess and dry the floor.” Both become increasingly verbally abusive and somewhat physically
abusive pushing, poking and screaming at the soldier. The soldier must find the obvious solution on
his own; scrub half and level half dry, then dry one half and scrub the other half. More so, the soldier
must do so under the stress of psychological abuse...
• Scenario Drills: Much like the scenario drills used to condition soldiers, scenario drills can also be
used to condition leadership. By placing soldiers in positions of leadership and giving them missions
to perform; some missions will be impossible to achieve and thus force the leader-in-training to
explain why the mission was not completed even though through training their failures will be held
against them; the lesson is that failure does not mean defeat but giving up or not trying does...
• Physical Training & Combatives Training: Allowing soldiers to compete & lead others in simple
exercises like PT exercises and even teaching new recruits “advanced” combatives serves to get the
soldiers used to leading by example and teaching by doing the hallmarks of a leader.

Leadership Principles (from the US Army):

— Be tactically and technically proficient
— Know yourself and seek self-improvement
— Know your soldiers and look out for their welfare
— Keep your soldiers informed
— Set the example
— Ensure the task is understood, supervised and accomplished
— Train your soldiers as a team
— Make sound and timely decisions
— Develop a sense of responsibility in your subordinates
— Employ your unit in accordance with its capabilities
— Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions

Guerrilla Officer Leaders:

Guerrilla Officers have to be leaders same as NCOs but must also know how to organize men to
achieve a single goal; victory... However, officers and well Sr. NCOs all have different or should have
different styles of leadership;
• Jr. NCOs: Authoritative; you tell soldiers what you want done and how you want it done and time
permitting why you want done this way...
• Sr. NCOs: Authoritative & Participative; you tell Jr. NCOs what you want done and how you want it
done but also ask for their input in the process to find a better way to get it done. This free exchange of
ideas allows Jr. NCOs to feel their chain-of-command cares what they think & builds confidence in
their authority to make decisions.
• Officers: Authoritative, Participative & Delegative: Officers must say what they want done, seek
advise from NCOs with direct experience in the situation at hand and trust their NCOs to get things
 done; delegating responsibility to Sr. NCOs who delegate tasks to Jr. NCOs under their oversight.

These higher levels of training & leadership experience come from the ninja-organization via the
ninja-agent. The basic training one would receive at this camp is secondary to that of what a ninja-agents has
and does not involve the wide range of experience the ninja-agent would have. Martial arts used to train the
ninja-agent are vast and varied there is no loyalty to a single style outside of styles effectiveness in a given
situation & not limitation of available skills and techniques used by the ninja-organization even skills
seemingly far removed from the ninjitsu syllabus such as computer hacking or manufacturing “street-drugs”
have a use toward the end goal of ninja-organization; computer hacking allows for the access of information
without the need for infiltrating an enemy compound & by flooding a population with cheap but powerful
drugs one can degrade the population's morale.
So then a guerrilla force may use methods far removed from the basis of the methods taught by the
ninja-agent or used by the ninja-organization. As such proxy-forces under intelligent & resourceful leaders
can take on minds, and goals of their own threatening the end goal or plan of the ninja-organization. So a ninja
-organization must monitor the other groups and cells involved to insure that a proxy-force does not become a
threat to the ninja-organization.

Arming the Proxy-Force:

The proxy force of guerrillas must be armed with equipment taken from the enemy; thus the original
proxy force must rely on experience drawn from a few raiding missions to acquire equipment and arms. These
raiding missions to arm the proxy-forces in the beginning stages also serve to build confidence in the learned
skills and to build experience in the Proxy-Forces. Arming the proxy forces is more then just aquiring
firearms, explosives or soldiers but supplying food and medical supplies to those so that combat force can die
in battle against an enemy rather then die of starvation.
