Special Forces Demolitions Training Handbook

Consider demolitions from the military point of view. Demolitions can be of great assistance in the defense of outposts and new life hamlets. Ambushes of varying kinds and sizes may be easily employed with no exposure of friendly personnel. Key political and military leaders of the Viet Cong may be eliminated quite easily with some of the devices you will see demonstrated. Timber and stumps can be removed with more speed to clear for helipads, LZ’s, and DZ’s. Those all-important moats surrounding villages, outposts, and military installations can be constructed with less manual labor with demolitions.

It is often said that this is a war for the minds of men. And most certainly, “civic action” work is the most assured way of winning the mind of a man. Demolition is of great help to clear land for farms and to build roads in order that the farmer may get to market. Demolitions have been used to clear land for new life hamlets. Construction of canals and drainage ditches lends itself quite well to the use of explosives.

Demolitions have a very important6 place in counter guerrilla operations. This manual is designed not only to show you HOW but Why.
