Description:
Osceola, Wisconsin, U.S.A.: Zenith Press, 2002. New book, 128 pages, some shelf wear to cover. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines all have groups dedicated to Special Operations. Such specialized military teams are particularly instrumental as the United States engages in a war on terrorism, fighting an elusive and scattered foe. A Pulitzer Prize winning photogropher, David Bohrer details the rigorous training, complex missions, and state of the art equipment that comprise the American special operator experience. More than 200 color photographs complement Bohrer's well-researched text, as you are taken into the fold of the Navy SEALs, the Army Special Forces, Army Rangers, USAF Special Ops, and Marine Force Recon. With unprecedented access, author David Bohrer accompanied commandos on patrol in the jungles of Panama, on assault craft on the Pacific Ocean, and in aircraft over the Gulf of Mexico, while photographing and interviewing teams who momentarily let their guard down and allowed…

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2013. New book, 64 pages, ELI197. Whilst under Putin's regime the size of Russia's regular forces has shrunk recently and will continue to do so, its security and paramilitary elements have become increasingly powerful. In fact, recently they have proliferated - as have their special uniforms and kit - and have become disproportionately important, spearheading all recent operations. They seem set to remain Russia's most active armed agencies for the immediate future. In parallel, within the murky world where government and private interests intersect, a number of paramilitary 'private armies' operate almost as vigilantes, with government toleration or approval. This book offers a succinct overview of the official, semi-official and unofficial agencies that pursue Russian government and quasi-government objectives by armed means, from the 200,000-strong Interior Troops, through Police and other independent departmental forces, down to private security firms (in Moscow…

University Park, Illinois, U.S.A.: Osprey Pub Co, 2005. New book, 64 pages, ELI113. After the United States' failures in special operations missions during the late 1970s and 1980, a decision was made to revamp its unconventional military capabilities. The subsequent reorganization and redesignation in 1983 created the SEALs as they are known today, and later the all-encompassing command for US special operations forces under which they operate. Since then, these Navy Special Warfare (NSW) forces have operated in Grenada, the Persian Gulf, Panama, Somalia, Bosnia, Haiti, and Liberia. NSW units have also participated in the ongoing missions of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. This book looks at the history, organization, training, uniforms, equipment and missions of the US Navy SEALs since their redesignation until the recent conflict in the Gulf.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Welphy, Michael. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
