Boobytraps U.S. Army Instruction Manual Tactics, Techniques, and Skills Plus Jungle Operations

A great value! Two military manuals combine into one book. If you purchase both books separate you will pay more for the books plus shipping cost. A boobytrap is an explosive charge cunningly contrived to be fired by an unsuspecting person who disturbs an apparently harmless object or performs a presumably safe act. A. This manual contains procedures, techniques, and expedients for the instruction of the soldier in the assembly, use, detection, and removal of booby traps in combat. B. Included are descriptions and discussions of the design and functioning characteristics of standard demolition items; firing devices, explosives, missiles, hand grenades, mortar ammunition, artillery ammunition, and bombs. C. This manual also contains information on a variety of items and indigenous materials useful for improvising firing devices, explosives, and pyrotechnic mixtures for guerrilla warfare applications. D. Factory-produced boobytraps (dirty trick devices) are described. E. Safety measures pertinent to booby trapping operations are provided for the protection of troops from casualty.
