It mnay be that the enemy is nat responding to the fire precisely because he is waiting until the guerrilla’s ammunition is used up. At such a moment, without having time to replace his ammunition, the urban guerrilla faces a rain of enemy fire and can be taken prisoner or be killed. , In spite of the value of the surprise factor which many times makes it unnecessary for the urban guerrilla to use his arms, he can- not be allowed the luxury of entering combat without knowing how to shoot. And face to face with the enemy. he must always be moving from one position to another, because to stay in one position makes him a fixed target and. as such. verv vulnerable. The urban querrilla’s life depends on shooting. on his ability to handle his arms well and to avoid being hit. When we speak of shooting, we spcak of marksmanship, as well, Shooting must be learned until it becomes a reflex action on the part of the urban gucrrifla.

The Firing Group In order to function, the urban guerrillas must be organized in small groups. A group of no more than four or five is called the [iting group. _ A minimum of two firing groups, separated and sealed off from other firing groups, directed and coordinated by one or two persons. this is what makes a firing tcam. Within the firing group there must be complete confidence among the comrades. The best shot and the one who best knows how to manage the machine gun is the person in charge of operations. The firing group plans and executes urban guerrilla actions obtains and guards atms, studies and corrects its own tactics. When there are tasks planned by the strategic command, these tasks take preference. But there is no such thing as a firing group without its own initiative. For this reason it is essential to avoid any rigidity in the organization in order to permit the greatest possible initiative on the part of the firing group. The old-type hierarchy, the style of the irsditional left doesn’t exist im our orsanization. This means that. except for the priority of objectives set by the strategic command, any firing group can decide to assault a bank, to kidnap or to execute an agent of the dictatorship, a fiaure identified 13 /7 | ce ies RI IPAs age OA NAS Re ce Ke fe LO Pasta ee eee ee me = A ee etna ai Eo alarm atone NET ea TPA glen pene ages. —_ Se a 9 —
