The U.S. Military Pocket Survival Guide

Stranded behind enemy lines? Or in America’s wilderness? Reach for the U.S. Military Pocket Survival Guide. A decade after its original publication in 1999, this classic manual—included in the survival kits of all branches of the U.S. military—has now been revised and updated for 2009 by military survival expert Matt Larsen.

Every combatant’s essential guide to outdoor survival, concealment, movement, improvised communications, and recovery in hostile territory, the U.S. Military Pocket Survival Guide represents an invaluable distillation of the information contained in the survival “bible,” the U.S. Air Force’s enormous Search and Rescue Survival Training.
