This Tactical Manual (TM) is the result of extensive training and operational experience at the highest professional levels, based on a solid foundation of elite infantry / special operations selection and training, reinforced by deployments to multiple conflict zones spanning pre-9/11 and the current Global War On Terror. The contents of the TM are combat proven and time tested small unit tactics employed on Light Infantry, Special Operations and Paramilitary deployments. The TM is intended to support training and operations for small tactical units. The TM utilizes a number of sources, including United States and British Army doctrine, mixed with training and operational best practices and lessons learned. The TTPs laid out are ideal for special operations, light infantry and paramilitary tactical organizations, based on proven tactical principles. Max Velocity Tactical operates the Velocity Training Center (VTC) tactical and leadership training facility near to Romney, West Virginia, where we provide training for US Special Operations Forces and Responsible Citizens. MVT has established a reputation on the leading edge of tactical live fire and force on force training; we are dedicated to developing tactical excellence.
This is really not a stand-alone book, but is designed to be used in concert with hands-on training. As such, is really lacks value as something to simply read and study. The book was marred in places by typos and other editorial/proofreading errors. Keep in mind that it centers on military tactics, and thus would not be applicable to all but the most unusual civilian situations.
An interesting and clearly written (perhaps there are are too many acronyms) explanation of basic infantry tactics. I enjoyed it thoroughly until the Annex pages which became nothing more than advertisements for the author's physical training programs. That worried me a little. He seemed to care only for 'the warrior spirit' and not the motives of individuals who take his training courses.
