Synopsis

This book shows how to evade killer drones through terrain mastery and more rapid foot march. But, GPS makes such skills seem obsolete. And, all electronic gadgets will either distract their user or erode his stealth. So, frontline soldiers must decide when to use them. And, the maneuvers of tiny dismounted elements are more imporatant than their combined firepower. Wars are won by people, not machines.

About this title

About the Author

After serving as a rifle company commander for eight months in Vietnam, Poole finished up his 28-year USMC career as the SNCOIC of the 3rd Marine Division Squad Leaders School on Okinawa in 1993. Since that time, he has researched the small-unit tactics of America’s various enemies and written 25 tactics/intel. manual supplements. He has been to Communist China (twice), North Korea, North Vietnam, Cambodia, Venezuela, Pakistan (twice), Bangladesh, Malaysia, Iran, Lebanon, Sudan, Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa, Morocco, and Russia. Between early tours in the Marine Corps (from 1969 to 1971), he served as a criminal investigator with the Illinois Bureau of Investigation. Poole is one of the very few living Americans with an extensive enough background to know how to fix the ongoing tactical shortfall within the U.S. military. After some 60 multi-day training sessions at different active-duty units, he has developed, tested, and refined its solution (through supplementary “bottom-up” instruction). He has also become adept at the now virtually lost art of field training light infantrymen (those who are able do well on their own in the absence of orders).
