Book Description
Without more proficient infantry squads, U.S. forces may never be able to attack a fortified enemy position by complete surprise. That's because no more than 14 people can successfully sneak up on one. After those 14 have cleared a path through its perimeter obstacles and sentries, their parent unit can then secretly move in. That's a lot safer than storming the place with guns blazing. As a result, many other nations now use such squads as the spearpoint of every attack and strongpoint for every defense. Yet, because of the Pentagon's symbiotic relationship with this country's arms manufacturers, U.S. forces have never developed such a capability. That may be largely why America hasn't decisively won a major overseas conflict since WWII. Better squads require members with more skill and initiative. Such members can often make a strategic difference on their own like spotting the hidden entrance to an underground ammunition dump. Thus, the term "Strategic Rifleman" is born.

Book Description
This study analyzes the organization of the US Army infantry rifle squad since the end of World War II, focusing on the attempt to gain and then maintain the capability of fire and maneuver at the squad level. Since the end of World War II, the US Army has conducted or commissioned at least nine studies, aimed at determining the optimum organization of the infantry rifle squad. Common trends affect all recent attempts at transforming the US Army and become evident when studying the evolution of the squad, but the goal must remain developing a combat effective unit. Combat effectiveness is determined by applying the evaluative criteria of control, sustainability, flexibility, and lethality. By applying these four criteria to analyze various squad organizations, one can determine the strengths and weaknesses inherent to these organizations, thereby recommending the most combat effective rifle squad organization. The US Army’s current focus on strategic deployability and emerging weapons capabilities is not a new phenomenon, but potentially could cloud the essential issue, developing a military force for optimum combat effectiveness. This study concludes by recommending the optimum squad-level organization for the “Objective Force.”

Book Description
Prior to World War II, the Army had a deeply ingrained facility with and acceptance of what we now term unconventional warfare-raising, training, advising, and cooperating with tribal militias, local paramilitaries, and other nonstate armed groups. This culture of irregular warfare was attributable to nearly 300 years of American military tradition from the colonial period until 1941, including extensive experience in cooperating with Native American tribes and individual scouts during the expansion of the western frontier. These traditions of unconventional war reached maturity in the years of fighting on the western plains after the Civil War, and were given ultimate expression in the creation of the Philippine Scouts at the beginning of the 20th century. Since World War II, the wider military has lost this expertise in and comfortable familiarity with unconventional operations, with the Special Operations community taking on the sole proprietorship of this role.
