Synopsis

A great value! Two military manuals combine into one book. If you purchase both books separate you will pay more for the books plus shipping cost. A booby trap: This manual contains procedures, techniques, and expedients for the instruction of the soldier in the assembly, use, detection, and removal of booby traps in combat. B. Included are descriptions and discussions of the design and functioning characteristics of standard demolition items; firing devices, explosives, missiles, hand grenades, mortar ammunition, artillery ammunition, and bombs. C. This manual also contains information on a variety of items and indigenous materials useful for improvising firing devices, explosives, and pyrotechnic mixtures for guerrilla warfare applications. D. Factory-produced boobytraps (dirty trick devices) are described. E. Safety measures pertinent to booby trapping operations are provided for the protection of troops from casualty. This manual contains detailed instruction, diagrams and illustrations to ensure excellent understanding of all aspects of boobytraps and improvised explosive devices. Security Force Assistance: Primarily focuses on the brigade combat team and advisors. It is organized in the following manner: Chapter 1 focuses above the combat team. It provides the overall doctrinal context for SFA. Chapters 2 through 6 focus on the combat team level. These chapters provide a framework for SFA, its considerations for the combat team operations process, considerations for augmenting the modular brigade for security force assistance, its considerations for the unit employment, and its sustainment considerations. Chapters 7 through 10 focus on the individual advisor. These chapters discuss the advisor, advisor cultural and communication considerations, the advisor working with counterparts, and cross-cultural influencing and communication.
