It is all about the firefight, the skills, the formations and methodology of intense short range simulated combat. This book covers the actions immediately before, during and after that close range clash of fire power. No plan survives contact intact so you should know what to do when you have to make a decision and give the orders or follow the orders given. When the rounds are flying there is no time to discuss possible options and responses. If you do it will be too late. This book covers a wide range of tactics, from US Marine, US Army, British and Soviet infantry doctrine from several different eras, focusing on how these methods can and are used in simulated combat.
