Tactics of the Crescent Moon: Militant Muslim Combat Methods By H. John Poole
Requirements: .PDF reader, 27 MB
Overview: With Iraq’s future still in doubt, U.S. forces are now having to leave Afghanistan. As in Vietnam, they couldn’t quickly enough compensate for the enemy’s elusive 4GW method. (4th-Generation Warfare is fought in four arenas at once: martial, political, economic, and psychological/religious). Due largely to the arms manufacturers’ clout, U.S. forces still practice a “high-tech” version of 2GW (killing as many enemy as possible). The world is still dangerous, and Americans will be deployed again. To fare better next time, they must do something about their antiquated small-unit maneuvers. Aboard U.S. bases, learning how to surprise someone has too often taken a back seat to learning how to operate the latest equipment. One does not become any less visible or able to dodge bullets by donning advanced electronics. Instead of historical artifacts, Posterity Press books should be viewed as vehicles of overdue change. Sadly for the U.S. military, they may always be progressive.Tactics of the Crescent Moon wouldn’t have been required reading aboard Stateside infantry bases, if it didn’t fully describe the Islamists’ method.Those who would become the next generation of American warrior should be careful to which multi-tour veteran they now listen. Some may never have been infantrymen or special operators.
