To disrupt British supply lines during the Saratoga campaign, the American forces effectively engaged in guerrilla tactics.

These strategies included ambushes, raids on British supply wagons and convoys, and hit-and-run actions. American troops used their local knowledge of the terrain to their advantage, striking quickly and retreating before the British could counterattack. This tactic attempted to undermine British morale by drawing attention to their vulnerability in addition to targeting logistical networks. Guerrilla warfare was successfully applied, which significantly weakened British supply lines and ultimately helped the United States win the Battle of Saratoga and reverse the tide of the Revolutionary War.
