More mobile tactics were developed in the 15th century by the Swiss Confederacy (see pike square) (obsolete).

Because of the early use of crossbow technology, these conscripts may not have need armour for close fighting, instead adapting more mobile tactics similar to rifle or musket shooting by rows.

The distinction between mobile defensive tactics and those used for offenive purposes is "very, very blurred," said Lieut. Gen. Walter E. Boomer, the commander of Marine forces here.

Riot police commandos have decided to adapt to the mobile tactics of the rioters, Capt. Luc Larcher, spokesman for the C.R.S., explained.

One of the goals of the school was to produce fighting officers, and classes were given in assault tactics, which built on the mobile tactics introduced to the German Army at the end of World War I.

In both cases the German Army threw away all its advantages in mobile tactics, and met the Russians on ground of their own choosing.

In Southern Africa the mounted men of the Boer forces also saw defeat in 1902, as imperial troops implemented a blockade and scorched earth policy against their mobile tactics.

Rome deployed its standard methods, with greater emphasis on blended units of light troops, cavalry and heavy infantry when confronting the guerrilla or mobile tactics used by the Iberians.

The large number of Toyotas involved in the fighting indicates that the Libyans appear to be imitating the Chadians' successful mobile tactics.

Due to its reliability, the type was well suited to the mobile tactics the Germans favoured in 1941 and 1942.
