TO SUBDUE THE ENEMY WITHOUT FIGHTING IS THE ACME OF SKILL (Sun Tzu)
Often misunderstood by the general public, psychological operations (PSYOP) enable U.S. forces to influence a target population's opinions and behavior by affecting their impressions, thoughts and emotions.
Psychological operations take many forms. They may be overt or covert; they may involve media as diverse as radio, television, loudspeaker broadcast, leaflet drop or social media. They may seek to influence combatant groups, civilian populations or a combination thereof. Whatever their form, effective psychological operations take control of the information received by the target, inserting the required memetic payload into the consumed media in a manner the target cannot easily ignore.
In that regard, military psychological operations share many similarities with a wide variety of marketing operations, and the information contained within this series of U.S. Army manuals will be useful to media professionals in all fields, particularly those tasked with building and operating influence organizations and campaigns.
Similarly, a general audience will find much of value here. It is our individual responsibility to safeguard our own minds from potentially-malicious external influence, and this can best be achieved by developing an understanding of the techniques used by the ever-increasing number of entities engaged in influence activities. These entities' intentions range from the benign - convincing us of which soap powder to use - to the dangerously malign - enticing us to form positive opinions of foreign enemy powers and political systems, or undermining our confidence in ourselves and our way of life.
This is book 1 of 3 in the C.M.L. U.S. Army PSYOP series, which covers the fundamentals of military psychological operations in support of the national interest and is the Army's keystone publication for PSYOP principles and activities. It is written not exclusively for PSYOP personnel but for a wide military audience in order to provide a general understanding of and appreciation for PSYOP potential and value.

TECHNIQUES, TRAINING AND SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR RAPPELLING FROM TOWERS, CLIFFS, MOUNTAINS, HELICOPTERS AND MORE
Rappelling or abseiling has many and varied applications, both military and civilian, not limited to gaining rapid entry to unfriendly or otherwise-inaccessible areas in combat. Law enforcement officers, firefighters, rescue personnel, and of course mountaineers - all benefit from the skill of rappelling in the course of their duties and activities.
Similarly, a knowledge of rappelling theory and practice is a valuable asset for anyone who wishes to be prepared for any eventuality -- be it escaping from a burning building, rescuing others from disaster, or any of numerous other potential predicaments.
Rappelling is not only exhilarating to perform and dramatic to watch, it can be extremely perilous if conducted improperly. This book contains the U.S. Army's combined knowledge, experience and best practices to ensure that its Soldiers and leaders are capable of conducting rappelling operations effectively and safely, whether in training or in combat.

THE INDISPENSABLE MANUAL FOR PREPPERS, HUNTERS, CAMPERS, OUTDOORSPEOPLE, HIKERS AND MORE - NOW UPDATED AND IMPROVED!
For decades the U.S. Army's Field Manual (FM) 21-76 served as the most knowledge-filled and practical guide to surviving and thriving in the wilderness - whether as the result of war, plane crash, shipwreck, societal collapse, or any other personally isolating or massively disruptive event.
That manual is now considered obsolete, several improved iterations having been researched and developed in the meantime. This edition, based on the current Army Training Publication (ATP) 3-50.21, has been thoroughly reedited, reformatted, its illustrations remastered, and improved in every way so that you the reader can have the information you need, clearly and informatively presented even under adverse conditions, with you when you need it. This Carlile Military Library edition therefore represents the ultimate military survival guide available today.
As a soldier, you can be sent to any area of the world. It may be in a temperate, tropical, arctic, or subarctic region. You expect to have all your personal equipment and your unit members with you wherever you go. However, there is no guarantee it will be so. You could find yourself alone in a remote area - possibly enemy territory - with little or no personal gear. This manual provides information and describes basic techniques that will enable you to survive and return alive should you find yourself in such a situation.

Think and Fight with the Best!
Discover the doctrine, tactics, history and lore of the US Army's most elite troops. Aimed primarily at the new or aspiring Ranger, the Handbook is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to learn the skills of the world's most highly-trained soldiers.
The handbook covers:
The Ranger Creed:
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers.
Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.
Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some.
Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.
Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.
Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.
