 This one's a Marine Corps manual, so you know it's gonna be pretty good. Hello everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense, and we are back with another edition of Tactical Book Review. Today's book is Scouting and Patrolling, Marine Corps Manual, MCWP3-11.3. If you have read other books on recon or scouting or patrolling, there probably won't be a whole lot in this book that is new for you. A lot of the concepts that are covered in this book you've probably encountered before. If you've never read any book about patrolling or scouting or recon or anything like that, then I would highly recommend you read this book. The Marines do a fantastic job of writing manuals. All of the information is always very clear, direct, concise, to the point. There's not a lot to misunderstand. It's very straightforward and helpful information. And this book is no exception in that category. If you work with a couple guys and you're like, man, what should we work on? What should we do? If everybody in your crew gets this book and reads it because it's super readable and easy to do, and then you work, you go out and you work on some of the concepts in this book, you're gonna be miles ahead of everyone else. Because this is such an easy to read and accessible book, you would get a lot of benefit out of it of just reading it with your guys and then, again, going out and trying to practice the concepts. It's not something super thick like The Last Hundred Yards by Poole, which is like this 300-page-sum-tome that has a lot of good, helpful information in but can be a little bit tiresome to get through unless you're a real ardent reader. This is very accessible. It's very boiled down to the most base concepts that, again, you can easily grasp and then go out and practice. So in that regard, I would highly recommend it. If you have read other books on patrolling or you feel pretty well-versed in the knowledge in that area, I wouldn't say you need to run out and read this one right now. Again, though, if you're just looking for a base-level entry or if you want to be able to give a book to someone because you're trying to get them into the concepts, but they haven't read anything and the other books you've given them are too much for them and they don't care, this might be a winner because it's so boiled down. I hope that's helpful. We have the Scouting and Patrolling Marine Corps Manual 3-11.3. Do brave deeds and endure.
