The Skills, Weaponry and Tactics of the Modern Combat Soldier

by Chris McNab, Martin J. Dougherty, Chris McNab
OVERVIEW
How would today’s armies handle themelves in potential combat scenarios? This generously illustrated book provides expert analysis on everything from infantry tactics to counter-insurgency warfare.
 
Covering all aspects of the battlefield, Combat Techniques is a comprehensive reference on tactical procedures for today’s infantry. It details the various forces and assets at a battlefield commander’s disposal, showing how tactics have changed since World War II, and examining a huge range of procedures, from controlling an air strike or firing an anti-tank weapon to sub-zero operations, hostage-rescue situations, fighting in urban or extreme terrain, amphibious assaults, and evading capture. There’s also a discussion of the difficulties of asymmetric warfare, with chapters on counterterrorist and anti-insurgency operations. Color photographs and art present the men and equipment of modern armies from around the world, demonstrating how they operate in today’s ever-changing, technology-dominated landscape.
