Urban Warfare Relationship: It's Complicated

The megacity craze doesn't mean the Army shouldn't master urban warfare. But don't get fixated on megacities.

No doubt

Many NATO armies may not be prepared for large-scale urban warfare.

I want to avoid attacking into large cities, as I wrote in Army magazine, but we certainly want to understand how to exploit urban terrain to defend cities or towns. 

And sometimes America does need to take urban areas. Either smaller cities or parts of large cities. So be prepared. 

Still, mega-cities aren't our problem
