Soldier's Guide To Zombie Combat Skills
U.S. Army issue guide to basic soldier skills in combat environments
This is a really good primer. All that training that soldiers get in basic training is largely summed up in this book. Study it cover to cover and you’ll be as qualified as most troops are to survive in combat after you’ve gotten a little real world exposure in the zombie apocalypse. Research on new Army recruits has often shown that the average person doesn’t even know they should only move to cover when they advance or withdraw. A little practice and most people pick it up as second nature and it can make the difference in a small arms firefight when your opponent is running at you in the open firing his weapon sideways and screaming. If you know what I mean.
Research in World War II showed that a soldier given an additional 4 hours of training in these skills affected casualty rates in battle significantly.
Whatever you do, don’t bounch the grenade off a tree trunk like I did right back into the trench when you throw it. My drill sergeant wanted to chew me out but he could not stop laughing. “That is not a point on the horizon, Private Blakemore! Go back to the start of the drill line and begin again all over!” They sent me back to the crawl station for that gaffe which taught you how to crawl on the ground.
Since it is a scan, you may have to zoom out a little to make it crisp and readable.

Hi Tex, an idea just crossed my mind: whereas a "shutdown" type of cyberattack would have a devastating effect, with long-lasting consequences, we would eventually rebuild and adopt better procedures.
What if instead they made a cyber-Covid-Y2K, in the sense that "old" data is somehow considered dangerous like a disease would be ? Spreading fear in the non-tech population, it would lead to destruction of old files (possibly alo a lot of hardware), making only "new" approved data and hardware legal (and possession /use of former data and hardware highly heinous).
(BTW this has been protrayed in the recent series "The Silo").
Excellent Resource!
Many Thanks Good Sir! I have a Cross-Post of this scheduled 1 hour from now on my own Stack.
Appreciate immensely these invaluable resources you put out there for all to read!
