Part 1: Uniforms, equipment, and weapons
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
A. Clothing--
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
1. Most Special Forces and SEAL personnel prefer to wear black
|
|
clothing. However, during the Vietnam years, U.S. forces
|
|
operating in south China, Laos, Cambodia, North Vietnam, and
|
|
South Vietnam preferred to wear Tiger Stripe camouflage.
|
|
|
|
2. In Vietnam, most personnel wore special boots called jungle
|
|
boots. The upper half of the boot was canvas to let the feet
|
|
breathe, the lower half was leather. The soles were very
|
|
similar to the waffle stompers on hiking boots.
|
|
|
|
3. Most personnel operating in Southeast Asia wore bandannas
|
|
or bush hats. No one ever wears a helmet during Special
|
|
Operations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
B. Equipment--
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Personal equipment carried by Special Ops personnel always has
|
|
to be in small quantities. The reason for this is fairly
|
|
obvious, if you are walking thirty or forty miles, you don't
|
|
want to carry a pack, or anything else for that matter, to keep
|
|
you from tiring out.
|
|
|
|
First, you would probably need some sort of backpack or butt
|
|
pack to carry loose equipment. You can carry energy-giving
|
|
food, water, insect repellent, dry socks, scivvies, grease
|
|
paint, compass, first aid equipment, carabiners, rope, and
|
|
whatever stuff you can find.
|
|
|
|
C. Weapons--
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
1. The insignia of the U.S. Army Special Forces is a
|
|
turquoise coloured arrowhead patch, with the Airborne
|
|
tab directly above the skyward arrow. On the patch
|
|
itself, there are three lightning bolts. They stand
|
|
for the three methods of fighting: hand-to-hand,
|
|
weapondry, and aerial combat.
|
|
Suggested fighting knives to be carried by Special
|
|
Ops personnel are, the M7 bayonet for use with the
|
|
M-16 rifle, the Air Force pilots' survival knife
|
|
with sharpening stone, the Marine Corps fighting
|
|
knife (similar to the Kabard m1000 knife)
|
|
2. For those of you who prefer weapons that make a
|
|
bang, here are a few suggestions. It is wise to carry
|
|
weapons that the other side uses when going on covert
|
|
missions. For instance, in Vietnam, Special Forces
|
|
carried AK-47 assassinators and penetrated the enemy
|
|
camps by using the Vietnameses' own stuff.
|
|
3. The last category in the weapons department is
|
|
Pyrotechnics, not synonymous with Pyromania. As far as
|
|
grenades go, you can use either a personnel-propelled
|
|
frag or a rocket propelled grenade. The two best frag
|
|
grenades are the Frags' 1 and 2m.
|
|
Explosives used most of the time consist of C-4.
|
|
The M-18 Claymore mine uses it. The Claymore is
|
|
set up on four stilts, and is labeled "FRONT,
|
|
TOWARDS ENEMY." It is detonated by tripwire or by
|
|
an electric switch. An added hindrance are
|
|
electric ground mines.
|
|
Part 2: Tactics in Guerilla Warfare
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
A. Movement to a determined target--
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
1. Wear dark clothing that will hide you at night, but will
|
|
make you blend in during the day.
|
|
|
|
2. Do not wear any sort of rank, insignia, or identification.
|
|
However, it would be wise to take a tip from the SEALs; wear a
|
|
number on all of your clothing, so that your own people can
|
|
identify you if you become a casualty.
|
|
|
|
3. Travel in small parties of four to ten team members.
|
|
|
|
4. Always take someone who is familiar with the terrain your
|
|
team will be traversing.
|
|
|
|
5. Never talk, use hand signals. If a twig breaks, or a dry
|
|
leaf cracks, it could be anything; like an animal. If you talk,
|
|
it flows over the ground, even if you whisper. In the still of
|
|
night, a whispering voice is definitely human.
|
|
|
|
6. Have your escape route covered. Choppers waiting in a
|
|
landing zone are always helpful.
|
|
|
|
7. Learn how to walk in a crouch. Learn how to sneak around
|
|
like the enemy. Take careful steps, always make the ball of
|
|
your foot touch the ground first.
|
|
|
|
8. If you spot enemy personnel, do not look at them. If you
|
|
think about it, someone staring at you is always going to make
|
|
you turn around and see them; therefore, always look just to
|
|
the right or left of the enemy soldiers. Believe me, it's
|
|
weird but it's TRUE.
|
|
|
|
B. Attack and psychological warfare--
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Say you have a specific target in mind, like a specific
|
|
person, and you have been instructed by your superiors or
|
|
employer, to terminate him with extreme prejudice; in order to
|
|
complete your mission you must have a devised plan. It would
|
|
be a good idea on having at least half a dozen.
|
|
|
|
If you are planning on making your target a casualty via
|
|
knife, use your imagination.
|
|
|
|
2. Psychological warfare is always interesting. We will give
|
|
you as examples, some of the methods used by MACVSOG team
|
|
members in Southeast Asia.
|
|
|
|
During the war in Vietnam, members of MACVSOG set up fake
|
|
radio stations in Southeast Asian communist countries where
|
|
they broadcast false information about U.S. and allied
|
|
military troop movements, and such things like that. On a
|
|
close range dummies would prove very helpful in decieving
|
|
the enemy. They would , of course, attack the wrong places,
|
|
and then you can nail those commies from the back.
|
|
Lastly, for those of you who are interested in scaring the
|
|
hell out of the enemy, frequently the Green Berets would
|
|
locate an enemy campsite at night, find two men sleeping
|
|
near each other, and then slit the throat of one of them.
|
|
After this, the others will be too scared to sleep in the
|
|
next few battles, and they will lose.
|
|
C. Prisoners Of War--
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
We once heard about an intersting technique that the SEALs
|
|
used in Vietnam. It went as follows: First, you've got a
|
|
target in mind. Again, we assume a "tax collector." Your
|
|
mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find the
|
|
man and bring him back to base.
|
|
D. Do's And Don'ts in Guerilla Warfare--
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. For rapid fire of ammunition, tape two magazines
|
|
together, so that the receiving ends face out.
|
|
|
|
2. For the ability to climb rapidly, cut off the two
|
|
middle sections on the ball of your jungle boots' waffle
|
|
stompers.
|
|
|
|
3. Always have a piece of safety tape wrapped around
|
|
the grenade and the spoon.
|
|
|
|
4. Use tracers at night.
|
|
|
|
5. Tie your knife sheath upside down on your
|
|
suspenders, so you can merely reach across your chest
|
|
and grab your blade very quickly if need be.
|
|
|
|
6. Put tape around your dog tags, (if you wear them) or
|
|
interlace one or two in your shoe strings.
|
|
|
|
7. Do not wear an ID that could connect you as being a
|
|
citizen, or a representative of the U.S. If you break
|
|
the rules, don't involve the government.
|
|
|
|
8. Know what kind of food is available in the jungle,
|
|
or wherever you are.
|
|
|
|
9. If you are carrying magazines in a pouch, place
|
|
something in-between each one, like empty cigarette
|
|
packs, so they won't rattle.
|
|
|
|
10. Use silencers when available.
|
|
|
|
11. Use starlight scopes at night.
|
|
|
|
12. Never let anything get wet.
|
|
|
|
13. When using a radio, only answer yes and no by keying
|
|
the mike once for "yes," and twice for "no."
|
|
|
|
14. Make sure everything you have, including yourself,
|
|
is very dark in colour.
|
|
|
|
15. Hit quickly, and get the hell out of there fast.
|
|
|
|
16. HAPPY HUNTING
