My understanding, limited because all I've read is Che:
Che seems to envision enemy advances into G territory as a salient extending from non-G territory. The salient (specifically vanguard forces) must directly overcome numerous ambushes and fixed-position defences, along with flanking maneuvers. Air Mobile warfare allows the enemy to drop into G territory, strike, and go, or sustain their presence using helo resupply. This ability could have been obtained through the use of paratroopers, but 'ideal' G territory is rugged enough to prevent parachute insertion. However, helicopters using various methods can insert soldiers into more diverse terrain.
The enemy ability to strike anywhere within G territory denies the Gs a solid base of resupply or operations, which is considered key in Che's version of GW. An air defence system, as in Vietnam, may limit helicopter insertions, but SOG demonstrated that this made insertion more difficult, but not impossible.
Am I on the right track?
Thank you,
Solid
