A Platoon Leader's Tour (The PL Book): This book is an
on-the-ground view of U.S. Army combat in Iraq sourced from
in-country interviews of this generation's Platoon Leaders from
2003-2008. The combat vignettes of former Platoon Leaders flow
along the arc of a "typical" 12-month tour in Iraq. The authors
selected stories that reflect the common challenges of young combat
leaders, including: -Taking Charge -Making First Contact with the
Enemy -Engaging the Local Populace -Interacting with Indigenous
Forces -Use of Force -Operating in a Complex/Chaotic Environment
-Facing Personnel Challenges -Making Moral/Ethical Decisions
-Leading in Battle -Dealing with Death -Sustaining the Will to
Fight -Leading Emotionally-Charged Soldiers -Adapting to
Unfamiliar/Non-Standard Missions The book was developed by the U.S.
Army's Center for Company-level Leaders at West Point in
conjunction with the U.S. Army Studies Program and U.S. Army
Research Institute. Interviews, writing, and editing of the stories
was conducted by Pete Kilner, Nate Allen, Nate Self, and Anthony
Lupo.
