Rhodesian Counter-Insurgency Manual

admin — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:02:43 +0000

Anti–terrorist operations (ATOPS) are fought on a wide front: the army forces, various government departments and the civilian population all have a role to play. In implementing the anti–terrorist action contained herein, members of the army forces must appreciate the vital need for cooperation and the under–standing of each other’s characteristics and capabilities.

ATOPS warfare probably places a greater burden of responsibility on the individual than does any other form of conflict. It connotes small groups and light scales. Catch–words are: thorough training, self–discipline, skill at arms, initiative, guile, endurance and above all, the will to win.

This manual details specific strategies implemented to fight rhodesian insurgents and maintain order.

Military Conflict and Terrorism

General Psychology Informs International Relations

Several experiments, focusing on decisions made by young, voting–age citizens of the United States about how to respond to incidents of international conflict, are summarized. Participants recommended measured reactions to an initial attack. Repeated attacks led to escalated reaction, however, eventually matching or exceeding the conflict level of the attack itself. If a peace treaty between contending nations was in place, women were more forgiving of an attack, and men were more aggressive. There was little overall difference in reactions to terrorist versus military attacks. Participants responded with a higher level of conflict to terrorist attacks on military than on cultural

Case Studies of Organizational Learning in Five Terrorist Groups

Continuing conflicts between violent groups and states generate an ever–present demand for higher quality and more timely information to support operations to combat terrorism. In particular, better ways are needed to understand how terrorist and insurgent groups adapt over time into more–effective organizations and increasingly dangerous threats. To adapt, terrorist organizations must learn. A group’s ability to learn determines its chance of success, since learning is the link between what the group wants to do and its ability to gather the needed information and resources to actually do it. Despite the importance of terrorist group learning, comparatively little focused research effort has been directed at understanding this process and identifying the factors that influence group learning ability. While relevant data and insights can be found in the literature on terrorism and terrorist organizations, this information has not been collected and systematically analyzed to assess its importance from the perspective of efforts to combat terrorism. This study addresses that need in an effort to both analyze current understanding and stimulate further study and research in this area.

The National Institute of Justice provided funding to the RAND Corporation to conduct an analysis of organizational learning in terrorist groups and assess its implications for efforts to combat terrorism. The work was performed between November 2003 and November 2004, a period during which the threat of international terrorism was high and concern about the capabilities of terrorist organizations and how they might change over time was a central focus of policy debate and U.S. homeland security planning. The study is described in this report and in a companion volume, Aptitude for Destruction, Volume 1: Organizational Learning in Terrorist Groups and Its Implications for Combating Terrorism, MG–331–NIJ, which applies the analytical framework described in the second part of this report to the practical demands of intelligence and law enforcement activities.

This report should be of interest to a wide range of audiences, including professionals with interests in terrorism, counterterrorism, emergency response planning, and homeland security.

How to Make Pepper Spray

admin — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:02:42 +0000

Pepper spray is also known as O.C. spray or OC (for oleoresin capsicum (CS), the active ingredient in cayenne pepper). Pepper spray is all natural being made of cayenne pepper extract. Pepper spray is safe enough for you to spice up your chili, and in the face and eyes, is no more harmful (just a lot more painful!)

Pepper spray is now used by nearly every law enforcement agency throughout the country because it is more effective than mace or tear gas and because pepper spray does not directly cause permanent harm. It works on domestic animals as well as humans and its effects fully wear off in about two hours. Pepper spray is the best non-lethal personal protection available and it really works!

Both tear gas and pepper spray are skin irritants, causing burning pain and excess drainage from eyes, nose, mouth and breathing passages. Pepper spray is more popular with authorities as an agent of control because of its immediate pain-causing qualities. It is harder to remove from the skin and has the capacity to cause first degree burns.

A method of providing an essential oil extract of capsicum, and the extract itself, are provided. The extract contains capsaicinoid and terpene.

Capsicum from which seeds and stems have been removed is mixed, in powder form, with a solvent, to dissolve some of the capsicum.

The entire process for making high quality pepper spray identical to the substance sold for self–defense is detailed in this guide.

Survival, Evasion and Recovery

admin — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:02:42 +0000

This comprehensive, thouroughly illustrated manual is based entirely on the keyword SURVIVAL. The letters in this word can help guide you in your actions in any survival situation. Whenever faced with a survival situation, remember the word SURVIVAL.

SURVIVAL ACTIONS
The following paragraphs expand on the meaning of each letter of the word survival. Study and remember what each letter signifies because you may some day have to make it work for you.

S – Size Up the Situation
If you are in a combat situation, find a place where you can conceal yourself from the enemy. Remember, security takes priority. Use your senses of hearing, smell, and sight to get a feel for the battlefield. What is the enemy doing? Advancing? Holding in place? Retreating? You will have to consider what is developing on the battlefield when you make your survival plan.

Size Up Your Surroundings Determine the pattern of the area. Get a feel for what is going on around you. Every environment, whether forest, jungle, or desert, has a rhythm or pattern. This rhythm or pattern includes animal and bird
noises and movements and insect sounds. It may also include enemy traffic and civilian movements.

Size Up Your Physical Condition The pressure of the battle you were in or the trauma of being in a survival situation may have caused you to overlook wounds you received. Check your wounds and give yourself first aid. Take care to prevent further bodily harm. For instance, in any climate, drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. If you are in a cold or wet climate, put on additional clothing to prevent hypothermia.

Size Up Your Equipment
Perhaps in the heat of battle, you lost or damaged some of your equipment. Check to see what equipment you have and what condition it is in.

Now that you have sized up your situation, surroundings, physical condition, and equipment, you are ready to make your survival plan. In doing so, keep in mind your basic physical needs

Steal This Book

admin — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:02:41 +0000

Steal This Book is, in a way, a manual of survival in the prison that is Amerika. It preaches jailbreak. It shows you where exactly how to place the dynamite that will destroy the walls. The first section–SURVIVE!–lays out a potential action program for our new Nation. The chapter headings spell out the demands for a free society. A community where the technology produces goods and services for whoever needs them, come who may. It calls on the Robin Hoods of Santa Barbara Forest to steal from the robber barons who own the castles of capitalism. It implies that the reader already is “ideologically set,” in that he understands corporate feudalism as the only robbery worthy of being called “crime,” for it is committed against the people as a whole. Whether the ways it describes to rip–off shit are legal or illegal is irrelevant. The dictionary of law is written by the bosses of order. Our moral dictionary says no heisting from each other. To steal from a brother or sister is evil. To not steal from the institutions that are the pillars of the Pig Empire is equally immoral.

Community within our Nation, chaos in theirs; that is the message of SURVIVE!

Marine Combat Water Survival

admin — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:02:41 +0000

Marine Corps Reference Publication, Marine Combat Water Survival, provides Marine Corps combat water survival techniques, procedures, and training standards. This publication also teaches Marines to cross water obstacles and perform water rescues correctly and safely.

This publication is the foundation for teaching Marines correct water survival techniques and procedures that are used throughout the Marine combat water survival program (MCWSP).

Throughout history, water has posed special challenges to Marines and Sailors during times of both peace and war. Therefore, the inherent dangers associated with waterborne operations demand that Marines and Sailors receive proper water survival training. Combat units that are confident in their ability to work in and around water can use the water to their advantage in combat, and history is filled with examples of how the proper preparation or training for survival in water reduced or averted disaster.
