Description

This is the same handbook used by the U.S. Army & Marine Corps in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Kuwait. Covers how the desert affects personnel, equip., & oper., & is invaluable for planning & conducting oper. in the desert. Desert oper. demand adaptation to the environ. From cleaning a gun, to filling a gas tank, the desert theater is an entirely different campaign. Temp. vary from extreme highs to extreme lows, often within the space of 24 hours. Water is a rarity. The other key to success in the desert environment is mobility & the handbook covers all aspects of troop movement. It also treats the problems of supply & resupply in the desert, maintenance of all kinds of equip., health issues, air assistance, & techniques for reducing friendly fire. Illustrations.
