4. US Army Special Forces Vietnam Combat Recon Lessons Learned – 1975 (126 pages / 5.6 Mb) The purpose of this manual is to provide a compendium of unclassified techniques and procedures used by reconnaisance patrols. It is no substitute for unit SOPs. Nor do any of the techniques in this manual represent the last word. The success of any recon operation depends on the ability of the unit to develop its own procedures and to adapt and exploit those which prove successful. Ultimately, of course, success depends on the motivation and training of the recon team.


5. US Army SF Medical Handbook - 1982 (250 pages / 15.4Mb) For many years this was the standard training text for SF medics. It covers trauma, disease and primitive medicine. A lot of the austere environment material is this manual was not included in the 2001 SH Med Handbook which superceded it.

6. US Army Special Forces Close Quarters Combat (300 pages / 15.8Mb) This is a US Army Special Forces 31-series ST (Special Text). Originally conceived for the Combat Applications Group (DELTA) it was their baseline training manual for many years prior to the recent redevopment of CQB training (see SF Manuals Vol 3 for that stuff). This material was based on German GSG-9 and British SAS CT experience from the 1970s and 80s. The material still holds up as an outstanding shooting guide, refreshing the basics while adding instinctive shooting under stress and much more.

9. US SOCOM Combat Convoy Handbook (103 pages / 1.5Mb) Current US Special Operations Command Combat Convoy Handbook as used in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the key issues shaping the Global War on Terrorism and, in particular, the on-going fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan is the ability of United States (U.S.) Special Operations Forces (SOF) to adapt to a combination of classic maneuver and asymmetric warfare. The purpose of this publication is to identify and consolidate Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) lessons learned and provide the most effective tactics, techniques, and procedures to the United States Armed Forces either currently serving in or preparing for future deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan.

10. Special Operations Forces Use of Pack Animals (225 pages / 16.8Mb) Current US SF Pack Animals field manual. The concepts of animal tranportation were essentially lost from the 1940s onwards. They have been revived and refined to suit today’s operational environment by US Special Forces. Far from being a nostalgic look back at the days of the wild west, these concepts have been used to great effect in Afghanistan, Philippines and Colombia within the last few years.
