Download or read book Scout-Tracker written by Troy A. Lettieri and published by . This book was released on 2010-12-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tactical tracking is not new and has been a recurring tactic that has been used in every major conflict and been most prevalent in most post World War II low-intensity conflicts and has again been rejuvenated in the American military for employment in the Global War on Terrorism. More specifically it is being used successfully in Afghanistan and Iraq to hunt down insurgents and collect valuable intelligence to penetrate, isolate and eliminate insurgent cells hiding in sanctuaries or amongst the population in plain sight. This book Scout-Tracker: Operational and Training Notes of a Special Forces Combat Tracker provides a complete primer to the skills and tactics for scouting and tracking in a counter-insurgent environment. This easy to understand and employ information has been gleamed from years of tracking training under the tutelage of some of the world's most renowned combat/tactical trackers and operational combat tracking experience from around the globe. The intent of the book is to give the warrior on today's asymmetrical battlefield one more "tool in the kit bag" to bring the fight to an elusive enemy and give the solder the necessary skill-set to enhance his overall survivability and combat capability.

Download or read book Tactical Tracker Teams written by Jeff Schettler and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeff Schettler's newest book "K9 Trailing: Tactical Tracking Teams" is about teamwork and it should be required reading for any K9 handler - regardless of experience - who tracks fugitives with a police dog in a rural environment or wilderness area because doing so is arguably the most dangerous job in law enforcement today and a tracking team must be prepared to safely face the challenges to be successful with the mission. A handler and police dog tracking alone or separated from a tactical support team during a high risk manhunt is a liability and no longer acceptable and "Tactical Tracking Teams" provides invaluable and practical recommendations and guidelines to minimize risk and prepare a team for a deployment. The emphasis on teamwork and the chapter on "proximity alerts" - along with the practical application realistic training recommendations - may literally save the lives of handlers or team members during searches. You may not be able to attend a training course on tactical tracking team operations with Jeff Schettler in the near future - but you can take advantage of his experience and lessons learned by reading "Tactical Tracking Teams" today. -Sergeant Bill Lewis II (Retired)
Book Synopsis SAS Tracking Handbook by : Barry Davies
Download or read book SAS Tracking Handbook written by Barry Davies and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracking originated with man’s need for food; he needed to understand what he was following and what the rewards would be if he was successful. Little has changed over time about the terms of tracking. We still track game for sport and food, but we have also found other uses for tracking. Border police patrol to stop illegal immigrants from entering their country; the military tracks down wanted terrorists or enemy forces. Tracking has become a military skill. In the SAS Tracking Handbook, former SAS soldier and British Empire Medal (BEM) award–winner Barry Davies teaches not only how to survive in the outdoors with the skills of tracking, but how to use these skills from a military standpoint. Included in this book are many helpful tips on topics including: The types of dogs used for tracking. Traps for catching wild animals. Modern military tracking. Using your surroundings to your advantage. And much more. The success or failure of the modern tracker is dependent on the personal skills of the individual tracker. Training is vital in learning tracking skills, and continuous exercise the best way to interpret signs. These skills are rarely found, but they remain hidden deep within all of us. So whether you’re already a skilled tracker or a novice in the field, the SAS Tracking Handbook will be your guide to mastering this old and respected art.

Book Synopsis The Management of Police Specialized Tactical Units by : Tomas C. Mijares
Download or read book The Management of Police Specialized Tactical Units written by Tomas C. Mijares and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major responsibility of the leadership of any specialized police unit is the awareness of endlessly changing societal, legal, and managerial developments that affect operations. This third edition of The Management of Police Specialized Tactical Units represents a significant updating and expansion of each of the chapters from previous editions. In addition to explaining the steps for developing and maintaining a realistic and effective response to increasingly violent levels of crime, this edition discusses the social, political, and technological matters that must be continuously identified, defined, and resolved prior to the implementation of any substantive or procedural change in tactical policy and practice. Legal and operational guidelines are provided to help tactical leaders to develop their leadership abilities and tactical success, thereby enhancing the tactical unit’s ability to safeguard the public. The authors make extensive use of the latest court decisions to provide the legal bases for operations as well as recent case histories to illustrate the various aspects of organizational management. These case histories do much more than summarize the sequence of events. They also point out what was learned from the successes and failures alike. Of particular interest is the new material on how the range of activities assigned to tactical units has expanded dramatically since September 11, 2001 and how the law enforcement community has been forced to respond to its newest critics. Emphasis is placed on how decision-makers must not only be organizational managers and administrators but also on how they should possess a firm grasp of confrontation tactics and leadership principles.

Download or read book K-9 Trailing written by Jeff Schettler and published by Alpine Publications. This book was released on 2012-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "straightest path" is a simple and honest approach to good trailing dog training. Schettler outlines his method for working trailing dogs, step by step with one goal in mind: finding people. The simple truth of the matter is that trailing and tracking dogs do not find what they are looking for on most cases throughout this country. The problems boil down to training-- for the dog, the handler, and search managers. This program is designed for anyone handling a trailing dog, and Jeff has been teaching it now for over a decade. Whether you are training for search & rescue, are a K-9 cop, or a tactical team manager, Schettler's advice could save your life, the life of your dog, or that of another person one day.

Book Synopsis Tc 31-34-4 Special Forces Tracking and Countertracking by : Department of the Army Headquarters
Download or read book Tc 31-34-4 Special Forces Tracking and Countertracking written by Department of the Army Headquarters and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-24 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the industrial age, human beings routinely relied upon tracking skills for tens of thousands of years as a means to run down prey, avoid predators and determine whether other tribes were transiting their land. To see an indigenous tracker at work, one could almost swear that the uncanny skills were based in part on telepathy. Nothing could be further from the truth - trackers rely upon a suite of standard rules and techniques which can be learned by anyone and put to good use in the field. Although it will take years of practise and training for tracking abilities to develop to the extent they become almost unconscious, the basics skills of tracking and countertracking are worth learning for every soldier. It is therefore not surprising that the US Army Special Forces have been steadily reviving the nearly lost arts of tracking and countertracking for the past several years. From the preface page: "SF Soldiers routinely employ unconventional tactics and techniques while conducting operations unilaterally and with indigenous assistance. The conduct of SF differs from conventional operations in the degree of political risk, operational techniques, independence from friendly support, and dependence on detailed operational intelligence and indigenous assets. The success of SF operations within these parameters depends greatly on the team's ability to read “signs” for defensive purposes and its ability to use that same knowledge to minimize the signs it leaves when transitioning through hostile terrain.This training circular provides a doctrinal framework for Special Forces personnel involved in tracking and countertracking operations. Tracking, countertracking, and dog-tracker team operations are basic and fundamental to every SF operation whether offensive or defensive in nature. This TC describes and illustrates how to track, how to avoid being tracked, and the theory behind the use of dog-tracker teams. Appendixes A and B provide SF Soldiers with sample tracking logs for their use. This TC provides the basis for common SF tactical application primarily in a rural environment and it briefly discusses urban tracking using dog teams."Presented in Special Operations Press' distinctive OCP camouflage cover denoting a current publication, this manual is printed in easy-to-read 6 x 9, perfect-bound paperback format. Proudly printed in the USA.

Download or read book USMC Combat Hunter Training Introduction And Fundamentals: Profiling, Tactical Tracking, Observation Theory, Tactical Fundamentals, Planning And More written by and published by Jeffrey Frank Jones. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COMBAT HUNTER TRAINER COURSE Purpose: The purpose of the Combat Hunter Trainer Course is to produce a Marine capable of training a more ethically minded, tactically cunning, and situational aware Marine capable of proactively identifying threats in any environment. Scope: The Combat Hunter Trainer Course enhances the safety and security of Marines across the range of military operations, whether in garrison, on liberty, or on the battlefield. Marines are trained to observe and recognize human behaviors, patterns and trends that are indicative of a threat and to act on that threat quickly and decisively through an improved and matured decision-making process. The Marine receives training in planning, conducting, and evaluating training events to include classes on small unit training and unit training management. Combat Hunter training includes Introduction to Combat Hunter, Observation Devices, Criminal and Insurgent Networks, Decision Cycle, Enhanced Observation, KIM Technique, Introduction to Profiling, Heuristics, Profiling Domains, Terrorist Planning Cycle, Tactical Questioning, Analyze and Interpret Spoor, Individual Actions in a Tracking Team, Track Exploitation, Leading a Tracking Team, and Tactical Site Exploitation. DEFINITION AND MISSION OF THE COMBAT HUNTER. A combat hunter selects, uses, and maximizes the appropriate optics available to see objects and events, both hidden and distant. These optics range from the naked eye to advanced optical systems. A combat hunter, through attention to detail, establishes a baseline of an environment and detects the anomalies located within that environment. A combat hunter tracks humans and vehicles by reading the natural terrain. He pursues an armed enemy and gathers data that may suggest the enemy’s action and intent. The combat hunter is the creation of a mindset through the integration of enhanced observation, combat profiling, and combat tracking. This mindset will enable Marines to locate, close with, and destroy an elusive enemy that hides among the population and uses asymmetric tactics to attack our forces. By utilizing enhanced observation, combat profiling, and combat tracking, a Marine is more lethal, survivable, and tactically cunning. He becomes a force multiplier to his unit’s operations. OBSERVATION. Observation begins with the gathering and processing of information obtained through the senses. The five sensory systems are sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste that allow information to be collected from the environment. Perception is the process that the mind uses to organize the sensory information into an understandable interpretation of the environment. Central to all these skills is a critically-thinking Marine whose decisions can be affected by numerous factors, both external and internal. The Marine refines his decision making capabilities by understanding the decision cycle process and his awareness of the physical and biological responses he goes through when faced with a dynamic situation. Refining these skills and understanding the effects they have on his mind and body make him more capable and more lethal.

Download or read book A Tactical Ethic written by Dick R Couch and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of his recent book on Navy SEALs in Iraq, The Sheriff of Ramadi, bestselling author and combat veteran Dick Couch now examines the importance of battlefield ethics in effectively combating terrorists without losing the battle for the hearts of the local population. A former SEAL who led one of the only successful POW rescue operations in Vietnam, Couch warns that the mistakes made in Vietnam forty years ago are being repeated in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that the stakes are even higher now. His book takes a critical look at the battlefield conduct of U.S. ground-combat units fighting insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since the prize of the fight on the modern battlefield is the people, he warns every death has a consequence. Every killing has both strategic and moral significance for U.S. warriors. From his unique and qualified perspective, Couch examines the sources and issues that can lead to wrong conduct on the battlefield, and explains how it comes about and what can be done to correct it. He considers the roles of command intent and the official rules of engagement, but his primary focus is on ethical conduct at the squad and platoon level. Tactical ethics, according to the author's definition, is the moral and ethical armor that should accompany every American warrior into battle, and these standards apply to the engaged unit as well as to the individual. A harsh critic of immoral combat tactics, Couch offers realistic measures to correct these potentially devastating errors. He argues that as a nation, we must do all we can to protect our soldiers' humanity, for their sake, so they can return from service with honor, and for our sake as a people and for our standing in the world.
Book Synopsis Scout-Tracker Guide by : Ty Cunningham
Download or read book Scout-Tracker Guide written by Ty Cunningham and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I should take the time to thank my fellow trackers and guntoters for watching over me...and especially Ty Cunningham, a superb comrade at arms and a tracker who knows no equal." -Mark Henry, The Hellriders Herein, lies the methodologies of following the various trails of man! The U.S. Marshals are the nations man hunters and the U.S. Marshal Scout-Trackers were a breed all to their own. While every other Deputy U.S. Marshal was busy mastering the technologies of our time, the Scout-Trackers were busy mastering the ancient art of primitive tracking in modern times. Appearing as though from the bygone era of the 1800's, these modern U.S. Marshal Scout-Trackers pieced together the footfalls of the criminal element in such a way as to solve the complexities of 100's of investigative cases. Some of the cases include murder, burglary, robbery, missing and lost persons, evidence recovery, and crime scene, cause of death, and animal kill site reconstruction, natural resource seizures, fugitive apprehension, and perimeter breach, access, and control. This book shows the details of how it was done by professional man hunters and how this legacy is still validated through the training programs of retired Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal, Cmdr. Ty Cunningham, former commander of the Alaska U.S. Marshal Tactical Tracking Unit and patrol captain of the Wyoming U.S. Marshal Mounted Tracking Unit. Cmdr. Cunningham has said, "In these modern times, I coined the term "scout tracking" and "scout-tracker" in the late 1970's, it was not until the mid-1980's when I began pushing the term forward professionally (while in the U.S. Army) that the term for what I did took form. I have spent my whole adult career in the U.S. Army and U.S. Marshals Service using my scout-tracker skills to solve hundreds and hundreds of man-tracking trails as I developed and led two U.S. Marshals Tracking Units. What is contained in this book is to be used as a Scout-Tracker Guide based on the most efficient and proficient man hunting tactics, techniques, and procedures on the planet. The U.S. Marshal Scout-Trackers, which I commanded, are the last of a breed." The U.S. Marshal Scout-Tracker tradition continues in the Government Tracker Program of The Ty Cunningham Tactical System (TTCTS)-HQ and Mountain Hawk Scouts.
Book Synopsis Tracking A Blueprint for Learning How by : Jack Kearney
Download or read book Tracking A Blueprint for Learning How written by Jack Kearney and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracking a person for many miles through wilderness and urban terrain is an art still practiced daily by some officers of the U.S. Border Patrol. Jack Kearney spent twenty-one years honing his skill of "Mantracking" by catching illegal entrants into the United States, finding lost persons in search and rescue operations, and assisting law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations from arson to murder. In addition, he spent many years teaching the art of tracking and devising the exercises listed in this book with which interested persons can self-teach themselves without needing the guidance of an expert tracker. Developing a proficiency in tracking skills can be an invaluable lifesaver for military, law enforcement, and search and rescue personnel. Although this book is principally about tracking people, it has been widely acclaimed by many famous and respected big game hunters. In one of the glowing reviews the book received, former Executive Editor of "Guns Ammo Magazine", Elmer Keith, declared, "Every hunter should have this book and study it." Bill Jordan's book, Mostly Huntin' devotes more than a page to extolling Mr. Kearney's skill and the virtues of his book and recommends its purchase "without reservation".
