Modern combat is chaotic, intense, and shockingly destructive. A soldier
will experience confusing and often terrifying sights, sounds, smells,
and dangers-and he must learn to survive and win despite them. This
field manual, containing the essential combat skills the U.S. Army
teaches its soldiers, is the Army's most recent edition, which has been
completely updated for Lyons Press by the soldier who wrote the manual
for the army: Sergeant First Class Matt Larsen. Distributed to all
soldiers, this is the must-have guide for those who want to know how
U.S. Army soldiers are trained to prepare for--and perform
during--combat. It includes photos, illustrations, and diagrams
throughout depicting weaponry, combat maneuvers, warrior drills,
survival techniques, fighting positions, camouflage, and basic field
medicine.
