U.S. Army Special Forces Handbook

Outstanding!

A fun read from the 1960s when our Special Forces were in southeast Asia. Some still relevant information, although notice the WWII-vintage weapons they had available! Good info on survival (geared to the tropics), field medicine, airdrop, etc.

Great book full of useful info like morse code and ground to air signals plus a range of other useful tips .

Like most military type handbooks, the information is direct and designed to be used in conjunction with actual lecture and hands-on training. This is not a book for anyone seeking recreational reading. This manual is designed for active military Special Forces. It covers a lot of valuable information in its detailed nine chapters. Chapter one explains the general mission of Special Forces. The remaining chapters cover principle of explosives, air operations, weapons, communications first aid, survival and miscellaneous information on guerrilla training and other factors. I found chapters 5 and 8 to be the most interesting. It has illustrations of various weapons such as the AR-15, the Carbine Cal. 30, the .45 Cal. Pistol, the Thompson submachine gun and many other weapons. The survival section explains very important principles on how to survive in the jungle etc. The first aid section is also educational. This handbook is full of drawings explaining each section of this manual. This book would be of interest for not only military people but for anyone who desires to learn the basic principles and tactics of military operations. Writers and researchers will also find interesting and educational material in this manual. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Karate Combatives: Reality-Based Karate for the street)

Every critical thinking patriot should have this book on the shelf. Too valuable to Not Have ready access to...this world is heading in a very bad and volatile direction, don't be foolish and trust the system.
