The U.S. military defines sabotage as "An act or acts with intent to injure, interfere with, or obstruct the national defense of a country by willfully injuring or destroying, or attempting to injure or destroy, any national defense or war materiel, premises, or utilities, to include human and natural resources." It is a component of [[guerrilla warfare, often by clandestine members of an underground with access to factories or supply dumps. Destroying a bridge or section of railroad could be part of a guerrilla [[raid, but covert placement of an [[improvised explosive device set to explode (and destroy the facility as well as the vehicles) is often not called sabotage, but [[Unconventional warfare (United States doctrine)#Mining and Improvised explosive devices|mining or boobytrapping. The term originates from the French word for wooden shoe, sabot, which were forced into machines to cause damage.
