A great value! Two military manuals combine into one book. If you purchase both books separate you will pay more for the books plus shipping cost. Combat Tactics: Focuses on the tactics used to employ available means to win in combat. Those tactics require judgment in application. The ability to seize and secure terrain, with its populations and productive capacity, distinguishes land forces conducting decisive offensive and defensive operations. FM 7-85 Ranger Unit Operations: The fundamentals apply to the employment of ranger units on worldwide operations and across the spectrum of conflict from low to high intensity warfare. The scope of this publication addresses the mission, organization, equipment, capabilities, limitations, planning, training, operations, and logistical support of ranger units. Subjects covered in detail: Introduction, Organization and Equipment, Deployment, Insertion, Extraction, Escape, and Evasion, Strike Operations, Special Light Infantry Operations, Combat Support, Combat Service Support, Training. Very easy to read and understand with many pictures to help improve understanding.
