Description: The U.S. Army's official guide on what every soldier needs to know about operating in the desert.
Synopsis: Here, for the soldier and the military enthusiast, is the same handbook used by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps in the field in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. It is a key reference for commanders and staff covering how the desert affects personnel, equipment, and operations, and is invaluable for planning and conducting combat operations in the desert. Desert operations demand adaptation to the environment. From cleaning a gun, to filling a gas tank, the desert theater is an entirely different campaign. Temperatures vary from extreme highs to extreme lows, often within the space of twenty-four hours. Visibility can change from thirty miles to thirty feet in minutes. Water is a rarity. The other key to success in the desert environment is mobility, and the handbook covers all aspects of troop movement, drawing heavily on the successes of Desert Storm. It also treats the problems of supply and resupply in the desert, maintenance of all kinds of equipment, health issues, air assistance, and techniques for reducing friendly fire. Battle-tested, Army-approved, the U.S. ARMY DESERT OPERATIONS HANDBOOK is a must for the military library.
