Wanni humantarial war

Sri Lankan security forces are more concerned about the Northern Province as far as the present conflict is concerned. Though there are many isolated contingencies in the other provinces done by the LTTE terrorists but bulk of the activities of them is more centered on the Northern Province. It seems different phases of war is active in the different regions of the country. LTTE has the capability to conduct open offensives against the security forces in some areas of the northern province when it comes to the other region LTTE is active with the guerrilla tactics as single assassinations, sabotages and intelligence operations etc, in order to counter that, the security forces have segregated ninety percent of it’s assets in the northern region to counter the LTTE open offensive capability by attrition war fare and the domination strategies.

Kilinochchi and Mulathivu considered as the operational centerpiece of the LTTE, therefore, strategically the respective area become the most important and the lucrative target or the ground of strategic importance for the security forces. Due to that, the greater portion of combat power has utilized for the seizing of the respective strategic objective. Among all the theaters in the Northern Province, Jaffna area consists of the highest density of the population therefore, for obvious reasons Jaffna has to be protected and well defended. LTTE southward maneuvering capability has countered and fixed to a vantage position, which 59 Division is successfully performing at present, also, 56 Division, 21 Division, 61 Division are too on the same concept. 57 Division, Task Force 1, 2 and 3 are maneuvering formations to the target area to destroy the LTTE and reduce the combat efficiency by launching attrition warfare methods to reduce the material and the human assets in order to make the LTTE combat power to the zero.
