US Army Military Survival Manual

This manual is 564 pages with a total of MB!


As a soldier, you can be sent to any area of the world. It may be in a temperate, tropical, arctic, or subartic region. You expect to have all your personal equipment and your unit or other members of your unit with you wherever you go. There is, however, no guarantee it will be so. You could find yourself alone in a remote area-possibly enemy provides information and describes basic techniques to enable you to survive and return alive should you find yourself in such a situation.
If you are a trainer, use the information in this manual as a base on which to build survival training. You know the areas to which your unit is likely to be deployed, the means by which it will travel, and the territory through which or over which it will travel.
READ WHAT THIS MANUAL SAYS ABOUT SURVIVAL IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS. IT CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH!
