BUSTING THE BARRICADES: How Armor Was Employed In the Urban Battle of Seoul by Captain Matthew H. Fath As noted in a recent Army Times arti- cle entitled "Urban Crisis," few armor or mechanized infantry units — and not one active duty armor or mechanized infantry unit — has yet trained or was scheduled to train at the Zussman Vil- lage Mounted Urban Combat Training Site at Fort Knox, Kentucky. This is a startling fact, considering that the facility cost over 15 million dollars to build and is touted as the premier urban warfare training center for armor units.1 This apparent lack of interest by the heavy force community, coupled with the light infantry's in- creasing reliance on "precision" urban warfare, is a disturbing trend.
