Summary of Paul R. Howe's Leadership and Training for the Fight

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The battle continued to wind down as the sun set. The smaller enemy began to probe us using three- to six-person elements. I was scanning the intersection twenty-five meters to my left and then back to the corner of the alley about twenty-five meters to my right front. It was quiet - too quiet. #2 During a raid, I shot two of the gunmen dead, and the third fled down the alley. I and my team spread out, and within minutes, the CP had gotten quiet. The leaders had all retreated to the courtyard of the house. #3 At the TL level, we were trying to tie in the now current positions of our perimeter with interlocking fire. We established a protocol of sorts: when you were about to shoot at incoming enemy, you would radio and alert the force. You would then engage your threats. #4 The two dead scouts' friends came to visit the Americans later that night. The light from the moon was so bright it produced night shadows. These were cast from buildings, trees, and other objects. I was watching the intersection to the left, even though it was supposedly covered, when I saw a Somali gunman on a knee, poking his AK around the corner.
