Tunnel warfare is a general name for the war being conducted in tunnel and other underground cavities.It often includes the construction of underground facilities in order to attack or defense, and the use of existing natural caves and artificial (catacombs, city communications, etc.)underground facilities for military purposes. Tunnels can be used to undermine fortifications and slip into territory, while it can strengthen a defense by creating the possibility of ambush, counterattack and the ability to transfer troops from one portion of the battleground to another unseen and protected. Also, tunnels can serve as the shelter of its troops and people from enemy attacks.

  • Tunnel warfare is a general name for the war being conducted in tunnel and other underground cavities.It often includes the construction of underground facilities in order to attack or defense, and the use of existing natural caves and artificial (catacombs, city communications, etc.)underground facilities for military purposes. Tunnels can be used to undermine fortifications and slip into territory, while it can strengthen a defense by creating the possibility of ambush, counterattack and the ability to transfer troops from one portion of the battleground to another unseen and protected. Also, tunnels can serve as the shelter of its troops and people from enemy attacks. It can be sometimes linked with urban warfare, as tunnels are often found in urban areas and cities, although urban warfare as a whole usually dominates any tunnel considerations. Tunnels, due to their nature, restrict fields of fire and thus any troops in a tunnel usually only have a few areas exposed to fire or sight at any one particular time. Also they can be part of an extensive labyrinth and have cul-de-sacs as well as reduced lighting that can create a closed-in night environment.
