The United States Marine Corps is often
called America's 9-1-1 military force. Forward-deployed on naval ships in the world's most
volatile hot spots, Marine "special operations capable" units are equipped,
trained, and ready to bring their immense combat power to bear in today's "small
wars" and other violent flareups. Marine Special Warfare & Elite Unit Tactics is
an inside look at how modern Marines conduct warfare in today's unconventional conflicts -
lightning raids, hard-hitting counterterrorism ops, tense downed-pilot recoveries, and
other special missions. Anecdotes from the Corps' inception to its remarkable performance
in the Gulf War illuminate how its special units of battle within the framework of the
classic Marine approach to combat - hitting the enemy with an overwhelming amount of force
as fast as possible until he submits or is crushed.
