Evolution of Urban Tactics: From Dad's Army to the Donbas

How have urban tactics actually been taught since 1940? And more importantly—what have we forgotten, misunderstood, or had to relearn the hard way? This session cuts through the noise and focuses on the reality: What armies thought urban warfare would be What they actually taught soldiers to do What was fought in contact Across four key periods: WW2 → Cold War → GWOT → Ukraine We’ll examine how tactics evolved—and in many cases regressed: From building-to-building fighting in WW2 To Cold War neglect To GWOT-era CQB and controlled clearance drills To a return to wall-breaching, decentralised, high-lethality combat in Ukraine This is not a history lecture. It is a tactical discussion grounded in what platoons and companies actually do: How they find the enemy How they move How they clear buildings How they survive Featuring Stuart Lyle (DSTL), bringing current analytical insight into how urban combat is really being fought today.
