Talk:Auxiliary Units (WWII British)

Effectiveness of small units
Depending on training, motivation and equipment, I wouldn't dismiss 6-man patrols. Special Air Service often operates in 8-man teams. United States Army Special Forces use 6-man "split-A" and 12-man "A teams". In WWII Operation Jedburgh, the guerilla leaders were 3-man teams.

An axiom of guerilla warfare is that if you get into a fair fight, your planning was flawed. --Howard C. Berkowitz 21:52, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
