Fighters need more training and better tactics to hit hard with less casualty. This 4 for 2 ,should be 2 for 4/5.

The problem is if the intel is weak like 'terrorists somewhere in this village' then literally the forces have to get ambushed to pinpoint the location of these terrorists. If the intel is specific like 'terrorists in this house in this village' then the forces can just blow up the house and incur zero loses
