Book Description
A SOLDIER'S GUIDE TO LEARNING THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE The original "no bullshit" soldier's handbooks, loaded with tips, tricks and ideas on how to live, thrive and stay comfortable in a military outdoor environment through field expedient know-how. From how to take a dump in the woods, improvise/modify or improve military and civilian outdoor gear, combat survival techniques, reducing field boredom, leadership tips, jokes and much more. NEWLY REVISED and UPDATED 2012 EDITION This is the first of two collections that compile all the original 9 volumes into a new 'Complete and Newly Revised Edition'. NOT your typical boring military field manual, these volumes contain info that will keep you one step ahead of your average soldier. Rangers lead the way! This newly revised edition of the first five of nine volumes, adds updated equipment info, new suppliers (now with web links) and much more. "As a former US Army Ranger, Drill Instructor and Advisor/Trainer to the Bosnia & Herzegovina Army (1996-97) under the US State Department "Train & Equip Program". I have always enjoyed sharing with soldiers my personal experiences, tips, tricks and ideas in how to survive & thrive in the outdoors. And although I've been retired from the United States Army since January 1993, I am still doing what I like best - teaching & training soldiers. But not in a class room but through a series of books called THE RANGER DIGESTS. Now before I decided to self-publish these books I use to forward all my tips, tricks and ideas to the Department of the Army. But the only thing I ever received back were letters saying, "...sorry, not feasible for military outdoor field conditions." Well since the Army wasn't interested in my ideas, I then decided to write a book about my tips & tricks and try to market them to the troops myself. After all, when it comes to "common sense" and "field craft ingenuity" the troops know more about this stuff than some "chair-borne" colonel or general sitting behind his nice cozy desk at the Pentagon."

War in Practice
Author: Baden Baden-Powell
Publisher: Loose Cannon
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
In 1903, just after the end of the 2nd Boer War, B.F.S. Baden-Powell wrote this book to compile his thoughts on the changing tactics of modern warfare, particularly for infantry and cavalry units. Well illustrated with photos, drawings and his numerous personal experiences in the British army he outlines how the conduct of ground warfare was changing rapidly. So much so, his insights and observations would provide a rather accurate picture of what was to come in World War 1. His predictions on the soon obsolescense of mounted cavalry troops, to the growing firepower of machine guns utilized from field fortifications is quite profound. The focus on old-fashioned common sense soldiering, smart utilization of terrain, and even clever trench construction is still valid today. Each chapter includes many personal anecdotes to illustrate his lessons, and cover topics such as Attack, Defense, Selection of Ground & Positions, Fortifications, and Outposts. Many of his maxims are certainly still applicable for soldiers in current conflicts like Afghanistan, or Syria. A great companion read to this title is his brother's (Robert Baden-Powell) book on his own lessons from the Boer War, Quick Training for War. Keywords: Boer War,british,cavalry,fortification,tactics,south africa,infantry The Author: Major Baden F.S. Baden-Powell, born 1860, joined the British Army’s Scots Guards at age 21. He went on to serve with Gordon’s Nile Expedition to Egypt & Sudan. Later he served with the 1st battalion of his regiment in South Africa during the Second Boer War, and was present at the battles of Belmont (23 November 1899), Modder River (28 November 1899), and Magersfontein (11 Dec 1899). He was in the Relief Column that in May 1900 relieved the siege of Mafeking, where his elder brother (Robert) was in command. He was also a military aviation pioneer, and made the first British military balloon flight in 1894. Also serving as the President of the Royal Aeronautical Society from 1900 to 1907.
