Product Description
Finally! Step-by-step tactics for teams of three to 30 members. Tired of collecting a library of military manuals just to teach light infantry patrolling tactics? Military manuals are notoriously confusing and boring! More often than not, they are written for company and battalion commanders. This book is written for truly small unit leaders - at the fireteam, squad, and platoon level. This book includes several other advantages over military manuals: Common sense explanations of each tactical battle drill. Simple to understand schema and illustrations 'Lessons Learned' comments that offer experienced insight. A glossary to get everyone speaking in the same terminology. With a 'no non-sense' approach, every skill and tactical battle drill in this book is specifically focused on light infantry patrolling tactics. For the experienced military professional, this book will be valued reference. For every other small unit leader - whether military, modern military re-enactors, or paintball and air soft competitors this book is sure to become your 'field bible'.

 Superficial, boring, uninformative, 2008-11-01
This book is filled with large photos of teenage boys playing airsoft, and contains very little useful information.
Don't waste your money -- you will get nothing out of it that you couldn't get from a wikipedia article on the subject.

 Less Interesting than it's counterpart., 2008-06-15
This book is the exact same thing as Paintball and Airsoft Battle Tactics with less images and longer, more complicated explanations than Paintball and Airsoft Battle Tactics. If you're looking for maps and words and long explanations of tactics than buy this book. Otherwise go for it's counterpart!

Maybe replaces the venerable Ranger Handbook for the Citizen, 2008-04-15
This book does a very good job at outlining various dismounted infantry skills. It does it in a way that escapes the pitfalls of military FMs... i.e. to much stuff that doesn't apply to the civilian, poor print quality etc. It is in an easy to read format that makes the information accessible and understandable. Illustrations are timely and helpful. It addresses individual skills, leadership skills and group skills. Individual skills cover things like camouflage and hand signals, leadership skills cover things like patrol planning and op orders, group skills are various tactics. Some of the complaints of other reviewers need to sit back and think. Yes it doesn't go as in depth as it could in all areas, I have yet to find the book that does. And I would like to see a small, pocket sized field version, but that is a trade off for readability. If you're looking for your first book on patrolling/ light infantry skills, this should be it.

Concise, yet complete review of military tactics, 2008-03-21
This is a good book, and very well written. I have met the author, and found him to be a knowledgeable soldier, which shows in his writing of this material. It does not go into strategic or large-unit tactics, so uses the extra room to use extra formatting and larger print to make things easier for readers (I hate getting a headache from very small doctrine printing).
This book is for small times, like its title suggests, and it covers it VERY well.
