1.4 Strategy and tactics
The FLN
  • Strategy and tactics were always partially influenced by material concerns as well as the guerilla goal of controlling people over territory.
  • The FLN aimed to show that the French government was unable to administer or protect the population, both Muslim and pied noirs
  • involved: ambushing convoys and patrols, attacking small outposts and bombing




Slide 4 - Tekstslide

  • Terrorist campaigns targeted French pied noir administrators and alleged Muslim sympathizers.
  • Create parallel governments far from urban centers to undermine the sympathetic local leaders who served as the French administration in Algeria.
  • The main operational doctrine of the ALN was to avoid a confrontation with larger, better armed French formations.


Slide 5 - Tekstslide

The French
  • Sector forces made up of reservists and conscripts spread out across the country.
  • Observe and restrict FLN movement and influence in their sector.
  • 600 000 Algerians from entire villages were moved to camps.
  •  Declared these abandoned villages and the surrounding areas "free fire zones," -> anyone discovered there must be a member of the guerilla movement.
