 in Schumacher with Citadel Defense and it's time for another edition of a tactical book review. Today's book is the Tactical Manual Small Unit Tactics by Max Velocity Tactical. This book it's a decently thick you know it's like 400 some pages including the appendices and I just finished this one last week and I gotta say it is phenomenal. The book is exactly what it says it is it's small unit tactics so it focuses primarily around like a four-man fire team ish all the way up to maybe like two or three of those teams and really just goes through tactics react to contact drills battle drills peeling breaking contact fire maneuver skirmish lines I mean just patrolling bounding overwatch if you've spent a lot of time in the military or in the light infantry then you are probably familiar with those concepts if you haven't like myself you might not be as familiar with them so this book does a great job of distilling them down and making them very accessible and giving you what you need to know as kind of your everyday america militiamen and that's what I really like about this book I'm reading the small unit tactics manual for the army right now the most current version and obviously because it's designed to go to soldiers that are in the army it has a lot of extra fluff that you don't need right like it talks about how to do patrols with Bradley fighting vehicles well unfortunately I don't own a Bradley fighting vehicle so that part isn't as applicable to me but this book all the stuff in it is directly applicable to you and that is where I think the value in this book really shines it's a tactical manual for people that aren't in the army just kind of for everyday militiamen guy who loves america and wants to enjoy his militaristic heritage as part of being an american I don't know if that's why they wrote it I don't know if max over there wrote it with that in mind but let me tell you that's what it turns out to be and I think it's phenomenal so if you're in the market and you're looking for man I really would like to I feel like I have my shooting skill set down and I would like to start to apply those to certain tactics specifically small group tactics and some things that mean my buddies can do to be more proficient in our coordinated fire team this is the book for you I would tell you to get it I would tell you to read it and I would tell you to practice it go out there and see mr max at max velocity tactical they're certainly on my list at this point of people to go visit again a phenomenal book would highly recommend and I'm excited to get out to max velocity tactical at some point in the future Dylan Schumacher 7L defense do brave deeds and endure
