The tactics consist of avoiding well guarded positions, attacking posts where the garrison is weak, advancing if the enemy retreats and retreating if the enemy advances, organizing ambushes where the enemy will be overcome by numbers in spite of his value.… One of the guerrilla tactics consists in making the enemy “blind.” Our soldiers do not wear uniforms, they don’t concentrate in barracks, and they slip through the crowds that hide them if necessary. In that way, the French soldiers are incapable of detecting their presence.11
