1998, Brown Mouse, PAPER EDITION, 8 1/2 X 11, VG condition, SPIRAL BOUND, 67 PAGES, MAPS & DIAGRAMS. ---------------------------The US. Marine Corps Jungle Warfare Manual, 1944 (NA V.AfC-1020-DPD) was originally prepared by Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia to support Marine officer training. It contains the accumulated combat experiences learned by marines and soldiers of all ranks after three years of bitter fighting on tropical islands in the Southwest and South Pacific: the Philippines, Guadalcanal, New Guinea, New Georgia, Bougainville, Choiseul, and New Britain. Virtually every aspect of jungle warfare is addressed in this practical and pragmatic manual intended to prepare marines for the realities of combat against a resolute and skilled enemy. Much in its 15 chapters are just as applicable for today's soldiers and marines facing combat in jungles or forests. Historians, tacticians, reenactors, and wargamers will find this manual to be a valuable resource.The manual has been reformatted meaning that the Brown Mouse edition's pages do not necessarily coincide with the original, but the text remains as originally published. The editors have included a small number of bracketed comments for clarity and to define abbreviations.
