Urban Operations Plus Marine Combat Stress

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. Urban Operations: Provides the analytical tools for evaluating an urban operation to determine if the operation is necessary for overall mission success. Chapter: The Urban Outlook; Understanding the Urban Environment; Understanding the Urban Threat; Understanding the Urban Environment's Effects on War-fighting Functions and Tactics; Contemplating Urban Operations; Foundations for Urban Operations; Urban Offensive Operations; Urban Defensive Operations; Urban Stability and Civil Support Operations; Urban Sustainment; Appendix: Siege of Beirut: An Illustration of the Fundamentals of Urban Operations; An Urban Focus to the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield; Operations in Somalia: Applying the Urban Operational Framework to Stability Operations; Joint and Multinational Urban Operations Marine Combat Stress: This publication is written to inform small-unit leaders of stress characteristics and management techniques in order to prevent, reduce, identify, and treat combat stress reactions in the Service members own unit to the maximum extent possible. A significant part of training is learning to control and cope with stress. Leaders must learn to cope with their own stress and then assist junior personnel in managing their stress. The application of combat stress management techniques helps conserve fighting strength and provides one more step toward achieving success. While this manual focuses on combat-induced stress reactions, it is important to emphasize that combat stress is not restricted only to combat, but may also arise from combat-like conditions present during military operations other than war. In an area of operations characterized by continuous action and high danger, our forces may experience high rates of stress casualties unless small-unit leaders are trained and prepared to manage stress.
