Command Legacy: A Tactical Primer for Junior Leaders of Infantry Units

by RaymondA.Millen (Author)

Synopsis

The burden of fighting wars, large or small, often rests on the soldiers and junior leaders of small infantry units. Command Legacy presents a combat officer's conclusions about how to approach tactical problems and missions and about the links among tactical theory, doctrine, and practice. It is meant to prime junior leaders for tactical operations, team building, and professional development. From developing company doctrine, preparing for a mission, and conducting assaults to addressing such concerns of the individual soldier as supply, terrain, and weather, any leader (officer or enlisted) tasked to conduct tactical operations needs this valuable book.

Media Reviews
A first-class primer on company-level command. Wish I'd had a copy when I took over my first company as its skipper. Must reading for pros.
