The most excellent and widely read book on Ranger operatations ever. Active duty Rangers practically memorize this book and practice the important tactics described, ranging from patrolling to mountaineering, land navigation to the handling of prisoners. Also includes chapters on leadership, missions and battle drills. Absolutely essential for persons interested in small unit tactics.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Soldier,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ranger Handbook (Paperback)
I have spent a number of years in Special Forces, and have on many occassions worked with Rangers. They are excellent at small unit tactics. This book is, you might say, thier Bible. But there are many units who follow its doctrine. We in Special Forces use this book in our initial training, as do many infantry units, including Marines I have worked with. For those who might be thinking of trying out for Special Forces or Rangers, make sure you read this book well in advance. Learn it. Live it. (There is a reason Rangers are so squared away.)

3.0 out of 5 stars
Useful for Infantry Soldiers, not many others!,
By Garandman (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ranger Handbook (Paperback)
This book is compact and useful for mission planning and execution (planning missions like raids, ambushes, or reconnaisance patrols, calling in medevac, adjusting artillery, etc.). It is used constantly by students at U.S. Army Ranger School - you carry it with you at all times. But books like the "Combat Leader's Field Guide" are more useful for military officers and NCO's in field operations, since they have information on a much wider range of problems and equipment.

Excellent Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ranger Handbook (Paperback)
This is an excellent book, printed just the right size for taking it with you in the field where you need it. Like the ones issued to active duty personel, it's bound on the top for easy reading.
