Night operations (military)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Night operations are military movements launched during the night when light is not available. Night operations are among the most difficult to launch and are thus used sparingly. The ninjitsu of feudal Japan were experts of night operation. The Soviet Union made the widest use of night operations during World War II. Carl von Clausewitz in his classic On War briefly describes night operations,and points out the difficulties of launching them. There are many psychological factors that influence night operations.
There is also a growing civilian Night Ops Movement.
