内容简介

This book is must read for the military operational planner and civilian analyst as well as the general reader with a bent towards military affairs. In general terms, terrain and weather constitute the basic setting for all military operations. The physical conditions significantly affect the movement, employment and protection of units in campaigns and battles. A framework is provided for ground combat. The body of information concerning the doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures employed in ground combat are discussed as a whole and serve as the conceptual foundation. The environmental factors in combat are defined for a broad variety of context including operations in forests and jungles, periods of limited visibility (including night), mountains, deserts, and under arctic/cold weather conditions. The principal considerations on how best to accomplish the assigned mission will be of value to the military operational planner and civilian analyst. This book will interest civilian and military decision-makers of the international defense community.
