This manual is for the US Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) soldier. Whether attending his/her first course at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (SWCS) or already deployed, the ARSOF soldier must be a student-practitioner of his/her craft: providing support to or countering a resistance movement.
Although intended as a ready reference for SF personnel advising guerrillas and resistance groups in enemy-held territory, the Resistance Manual has much to teach civilian guerrilla leaders. This rare, full-colour edition is packed with historical case studies and provides a deep enough exploration of the topic of Resistance to allow personnel to get started. With the winds of war beginning to blow across Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific, now is the time to purchase and read this book.
Originally published by the ARIS Project in 2019, decent print copies have been unavailable since the USASOC stocks ran out, so the book is no longer available to ARSOF personnel "through channels". This makes this new full-color edition presented by the Conflict Research Group the prime source for this invaluable handbook.
