Light Infantry Tactics For Small Teams

[Eddie_uv777]

I just read this and it's pretty good. I was wondering if anyone has read it and if they have an opinion on it. Also, where can I find similar books?

What does you consider as a small team?

I also like the Army combat leaders field guide, which touches on many subjects.

John Poole's books The Last Hundred Yards and The Tiger's Way are quite valuable for Light Infantry leaders. Take the "ninjutsu" stuff in TTW with a grain of salt (he got bad/fictional information from a source that looked good, but was a fake), but other than that, it's all golden.

You can find the Ranger handbook, as well as a myriad of other useful reading on Scribd....and download almost all of it in PDF format....

Small Team...any team consisting of more than one and any size up to and including lesser teams relative to the largest team, such as an Army Group or an Army. (MM's opinion)

Ever heard of the sales slogan by the US Army..."An Army of One!" Yeah...Riiiight.

I know Chris Larsen personally, and I've got a copy of that book. It is a great reference, as it pares down the above-mentioned manuals to the essentials for folks who aren't operating with full military support.

If you're looking to do paintball or airsoft or similar, it's great. I'd use it to supplement 7-8 and/or 21-76, though, and if you're going to be sending (and receiving) live rounds, you'll want more than that...

Folks,

Read "Bugles and Tigers". Many will laugh at the suggestion, until they read the book. Best book for almost anyone first time going to Afghanistan.

Having a little bit of Infantry experience, I have to concur with a couple of the above replies;

o Ranger Handbook
o 7-7 and 7-8

Light Infantry Tactics For Small Teams seems like a good book. The bare basics of the infantry stuff (or the stuff they teach in basic infantry training). A section on nahd and arm signals is pretty good, IMTs, buddy tm movement, fireteam etc.

Is The Defense of Duffer's Drift still in print? It was mandatory reading in IOBC when I went ('84). Good little book.

It is. You can get an e-book here:

I will have to give that a read, as I am headed to IOBC shortly.

Definitely a must-read. I think every Army officer has a copy :)
