The latest version of the "stranded behind enemy lines" manual included in the survival kits of all branches of the U.S. military. A distillation of the information contained in the survival "bible," the USAF's enormous tome on Survival Training, AFR 64-4 and updated from the previous version which contained a significant amount of outmoded information. Now a multiservice publication used by all branches of the U.S. military (FM 21-76-1, MCRP 3-02H, NWP 3-50.3, AFTTP(I) 3-2-2.6).

This classic military manual—included in the survival kits of all branches of the U.S. military—has now been revised and updated by military survival expert SFC Matt Larsen.

Presented in an easily navigable format, with illustrations throughout, The U.S. Military Pocket Survival Guide represents an invaluable distillation of the information contained in the survival “bible,” the U.S. Air Force's enormous Search and Rescue Survival Training. It is every combatant’s essential guide to outdoor survival, concealment, movement, improvised communications, evasion, and recovery in hostile territory.
