We had a separate sniper unit called 'Tiradores de la Muerte' under the specific command of Gen Licerio Gerónimo of the Ejército Republicano Filipino. So effective was this unit that it delivered a fatal bullet into one of our highest value enemy target- the legendary north american Gen Lawton.<br /><br />Unfortunately, we did not have the mastery then, as now, of the kind of skill based on the same basic principles minus the modern equipment and technology of today on anti-terrorism warfare such as that of the Serbian Special Forces as shown in this documentary. That is why we have generally been ineffective against on-site, close quarter anti-hostagetaking battles today. We were also ineffective against hostage taking, our north american invaders have resorted to against the non-combatant filipinos among us in the 1900s. We have today, a number of successful operations against terrorists but most were not on-site, close quarter anti-hostagetaking battles.josé miguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152769788400819011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108840646919860426.post-46165658516489535532010-08-27T11:30:50.402+08:002010-08-27T11:30:50.402+08:00This kind of elite force is just what we need in o...This kind of elite force is just what we need in order to avoid <a href="http://alasfilipinas.blogspot.com/2010/08/el-rescate-policial-de-un-autobus-en.html" rel="nofollow">last Monday's fiasco</a>.PEPE ALAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902769309558409122noreply@blogger.com
