About this title

Synopsis

This book is the most complete reference work on tactical procedures available today. Illustrated with action photographs and detailed artworks, it provides a thorough insight into how the soldiers of today's armies would fight in any combat scenario they encountered. All aspects of the battlefield are covered, detailing the various forces and assets at a battlefield commander's disposal, showing how tactics have changed since the end of World War II, and examining a huge range of tactical procedures, from hand-to-hand combat, to controlling an air strike or firing an anti-tank weapon, hostage-rescue situations, fighting in urban or extreme terrain, amphibious assaults, and evading capture. Using over 150 colour photographs and artworks, "The Elite Forces Handbook of Combat Techniques" shows men and equipment of modern armies from around the world, and, with the help of an authoritative text, demonstrates how they would fight on a battlefield today.
