About this title

Synopsis

In this interactive work, you are U.S. Army second lieutenant Steve Davis. Your light infantry battalion has been airlifted into the Middle East on short notice, and now your platoon must defend Wadi Al Sirree against the superior might of an advancing enemy mechanized force. The stakes are high; the odds are long. Your knowledge and judgment will determine your success. If you are wrong, defeat and death may be your lot. Success will let you savor the sweet taste of victory and live to fight another day.
The scenario is highly realistic and is supported by maps and appendices with detailed specifications of the equipment and forces involved. The choices you must make are those that would face a rifle platoon leader in combat. You must win the respect of your troops, ensure the security of your positions, obtain intelligence of the enemy, and accomplish everything else required to survive and win in a hostile environment.
Whether you're a serving infantryman or an armchair enthusiast, this is the best crash course in light infantry tactics you will find, short of a rotation through the National Training Center. And you won't have to spend weeks in the field doing it!
