Download or read book One Bullet Away written by Nathaniel Fick and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2006-09-07 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller that “provides a close-up and often harrowing look at Fick’s service both in Iraq and Afghanistan” (U.S. News & World Report). If the Marines are “the few, the proud,” Recon Marines are the fewest and the proudest. Nathaniel Fick’s career begins with a hellish summer at Quantico, after his junior year at Dartmouth. He leads a platoon in Afghanistan just after 9/11 and advances to the pinnacle—Recon— two years later, on the eve of war with Iraq. His vast skill set puts him in front of the front lines, leading twenty-two Marines into the deadliest conflict since Vietnam. He vows to bring all his men home safely, and to do so he’ll need more than his top-flight education. Fick unveils the process that makes Marine officers such legendary leaders and shares his hard-won insights into the differences between military ideals and military practice, which can mock those ideals. In this deeply thoughtful account of what it’s like to fight on today’s front lines, Fick reveals the crushing pressure on young leaders in combat. Split-second decisions might have national consequences or horrible immediate repercussions, but hesitation isn’t an option. One Bullet Away never shrinks from blunt truths, but ultimately it is an inspiring account of mastering the art of war. “Fick’s writing style sets this book apart from other accounts of recent conflicts and guarantees One Bullet Away a place in the war memorial hall of fame.”—USA Today “What One Bullet Away accomplishes, in a way all the blather on cable TV never will, is to give readers real insights into the modern war and its warriors.”—Rocky Mountain News

Download or read book UK Operations in Iraq written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Defence Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-08-10 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report seeks to highlight some of the issues raised during the Committee's visit to Iraq in June 2006, which was undertaken in order to examine the operating environment being experienced by UK forces and to meet senior members of the new Iraqi Government. Amongst its findings, the Committee notes its concern at the deteriorating security situation in South Eastern Iraq, particularly Basra, and the implications for the security of UK forces. It welcomes the progress being made in the development of the new Iraqi army but highlights the serious challenges remaining in the development of the Iraqi police service. The report also raises concerns over the problems with equipment which requires urgent attention from the MoD, the effects of the extreme temperatures which troops are having to deal with, the shortage of helicopters and the strain on both air and ground crews. The Committee's report questions the Government's confidence that UK armed forces are not being overstretched, and calls for urgent action to address the growing capability gaps; and concludes that the issues raised in the report gives rise to fundamental doubts as to whether the UK armed forces are structured, trained and equipped to fulfil the role envisaged for them in the Strategic Defence Review and subsequent policy documents.
Download or read book UK land operations in Iraq 2007 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Defence Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-12-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers recent developments in the political and security situation in Iraq, the prospects for political reconciliation at national and local level, the progress in implementing security sector reform, including the development of the Iraqi Army and Police as well as the transition of Basra to Provincial Iraqi control. It also examines the changing role of UK Forces in South Eastern Iraq as they prepare to hand over responsibility for security and assume the position of overwatch. The report therefore examines what overwatch means and whether the force levels proposed by the Government are sustainable. It concludes that the security situation continues to cause concern and that although there has been a decrease in attacks against UK and Coalition forces since the withdrawal from Basra Palace, there has been no reduction in attacks against the civilian population. The development of effective Iraqi Security Forces is fundamental and although there has been progress with the army, there are still murderous, corrupt, militia-infiltrated elements within the Police. It is unclear how the trainers will be supported when the UK force levels are further reduced. The plan is to reduce to 2,500 troops in Spring but there are questions about the sustainability of a force of this size and whether they will be able to do little more than protect themselves.

From across America and beyond, they chose the demanding path, to become Marines. These Marines marched in the ranks of this national treasure that we call the 1st Marine Division.

Download or read book The Iraq War written by Anthony H. Cordesman and published by CSIS. This book was released on 2003 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In April of 2003, a stunned world looked on as the armed forces of the United States and Britain conducted a lightning-fast military campaign against Iraq. Confounding predictions of failure, the Anglo-American victory brought down not just the Iraqi regime, but also much of the conventional wisdom about modern war. But even as U.S. and British forces occupied Basra, Tikrit, and Mosul, the Iraqi nation slipped into anarchy - and new military and security challenges emerged." "In this book, respected military analyst Anthony Cordesman provides the first in-depth examination of the key issues swirling around the most significant U.S. war since Vietnam. Finding answers is essential if we are to understand the United States' awesome power and its place in a new age of international terror and regional conflict. Finding answers is also essential if we are to draw the proper lessons and understand the new challenges of conflict termination, peacemaking, and nation building."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book McCoy s Marines written by John Koopman and published by Zenith Press. This book was released on 2009-10-08 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Francisco Chronicle reporter and marine veteran Koopman was embedded in the Third Battalion, Fourth Marines, during the most recent war in Iraq. He enjoyed a close working relationship with the CO, the battalion sergeant major, and several other members of the battalion. This didn't destroy his ability to distance himself from aspects of the military that he never liked, or from political judgments on the war. The combination of embedding and prior service did give him a rare perspective on the gritty (literally, when a sandstorm blew up) details of ground combat in Iraq and how the modern American marine relates to his buddies, his enemies, and his family back home. The conclusion of the book offers equally rare material on the nation-building efforts that continue, with sympathy for both the U.S. military and most shades of Iraqi opinion.—ALA Booklist
