Here are a couple videos that address conducting ambushes from a military perspective. The first video goes over the general tactics involved in conducting a military ambush. The second video discusses whom to target in an attack (or even defense), but seems particularly appropriate to an ambush.
I would note as to the second video that the host's list is drawing from what is in military manuals and not from combat experience (in fact, he specifically disclaims any military experience). I would suggest that some provision needs to be made for a drone operator, if present, although I'm not sure of the priority for a drone operator. It seems that they should rank with a K9 operator or even a crew served weapon, though, since the drone(s) will either be to track or to deliver an explosive payload; but if they are controlling a drone already in the air, they should be given the top priority as they may be in communication with another unit or already tracking/targeting the ambushing party.
