America's military power has been largely one dimensional in an increasingly multi-dimensional arena. Standoff bombardment has little effect on a loosely controlled foe. That takes tiny ground elements skilled enough to operate beyond any firepower umbrella. No more than 14 people can totally surprise an enemy unit. That's why other nations use squads as the spearpoints for every attack and strongpoints of every defense. Through an over-emphasis on firepower, U.S. forces have never developed this capability. Better squads require more skilled members. Such members can often make a strategic difference on their own and require less force after surprising defenders. This book uses 173 illustrations to show how to become/produce a "strategic" rifleman. It's for survival-oriented recruits and anyone wanting to know how the Pentagon could project more overseas power with less funding.
