Summary |
Jungle Snafus... and Remedies, Cresson H. Kearny, Major of Infantry, A.U.S. Retired. "Combat-proven equipment especially needed by infantrymen fighting in jungles or in humid summer heat, but no longer available, is described - highlighted by graphic accounts of the development and use of individual flotation gear, breath-inflated lightweight infantrymen's boats, excellent Jungle Boots, mosquito-protective cool uniforms, health-protective personal equipment, and any other items. Also, infantrymen's deadly new weapons including the Stinger and the Javelin, forerunners of man-carried high-tech weapons that will enable well equipped and trained foot soldiers to win many limited wars."
