Groups of soldiers who use hit-and-run tactics are often referred to as guerrilla fighters or insurgents. These groups typically operate in small, mobile units and engage in ambushes, raids, and surprise attacks, allowing them to strike quickly and retreat before a counterattack can occur. This method is often employed in asymmetrical warfare, where they leverage speed and knowledge of the terrain against a larger, more conventional force. Such tactics aim to disrupt the enemy's operations and morale while minimizing their own casualties.
