This book sets out the basics of a soldier's craft: it explains how to conduct combat on the offensive and defense, how to properly camouflage and set up ambushes, overcome minefields, destroy enemy firing points, etc. It does not replace regulations and instructions, but is its own kind of an introductory course for a better understanding of them. The book allows you to see the true meaning of dry formulations, because it reveals the content of formal instructions through explanations and numerous examples. This reference book is intended for private and junior command personnel of the ground forces, as well as for pre-conscription youth.
