I didn't know war could be fun...let's ask the dead children.
This books proves that our children are brainwashed to fight in this losing war. A war I did not want. A war of lies, and about money for the oil boys in the white house.In the book, the Marines move along like they are having a good time preparing to kill people.I mean, is this how Marines really are?Do Marines really like having to fight?I didn't know Marines had thoughts...let alone, thinking and then going into the enemy barking and howling and waving at the enemy to bring it on.I am now afraid of the ROWDY men who defend my freedom.If the world is really like this, then it was a very good-very informative book, and I am living in the dark...happily.

I enjoyed it
Great book.I saw several typs in the book.I would say that was a publisher issue and not a reflection on the story.It was great.I loved the little guy they abused for fun while "training him to be a nobody."He was the real underdog amongst such well trained.I did not like the language being of common foul but, it fits the attitudes.
Overall, a good book to read.Just hide it from the teenagers.I did.It will make them want to join.My boy is about the right age to get ideas.Thanks.

Wow
I'm not sure what else to say but WOW.I bought this book expecting it to be like most other "war stories" but this one was completely different, it didn't have the depressing side of war but the humorous side!I would recommend this book to others!

Bravo!
Wonderful writing!With all of the personal experience written into the book, I felt like I was a part of the action and their with the troops!It's nice to know that even in the face of danger, our troops continue to keep their sense of humor and show that humanity can still override the bad in this world!This book helps show the how in the time of crisis how our troops can still be themselves, it makes me proud of all of our troops!

A must have book!
This book had me laughing so hard I was crying!It's nice to have a new perspective on the "typical" war type of book, this isn't a book that talks about the worst side of war, but the funny side of how troops have dealt with the pressures of war.I would highly recommend this book to any avid war story book collector, it's a must have for any collection! ...

Product Description
Field Manual (FM) 90-13 describes how divisions and brigades conduct river crossings. It shows the relationship to corps operations, where appropriate, and includes details for lower
echelons to support the brigades. It provides doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) in one reference to accomplish this special operation.

The corps assigns missions and provides the necessary support and equipment. The divisions normally assign bridgehead objectives and control movement across the river. The brigades
are the bridgehead forces that execute the crossings, either independently or as elements of a larger force.

River-crossing skills and knowledge are highly perishable. As with many other tactical operations, they require constant practice in planning and execution. There are relatively few opportunities to train with the frequency needed to keep a high degree of proficiency in this tough operation. For that reason, this manual includes considerable detail on techniques and procedures.

A river crossing is a special operation in that it requires specific procedures for success because the water obstacle prevents normal ground maneuver. It demands more detailed planning and technical support than normal tactical operations. It also features specific control measures to move the force across a water obstacle. This obstacle may be a river, a lake, or a canal. Unlike other obstacle types, the water obstacle remains effective during and after the crossing operation. See FM 90-13-1 for other counterobstacle operations.

As in the past, the United States (US) Army conducts river crossings within the context of its basic doctrine. This manual applies the current Army-operations doctrine described in
FM 100-5 to river crossings. It incorporates recent developments in command and control (C2) for command-post (CP) facilities and the military decision-making process. It also aligns US doctrine more closely with ongoing standardization efforts in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
