For many centuries, the job of everyday soldiers, the "grunts," was
the same-"see the hill, take the hill." But the combat role of
today's U.S. soldier has undergone a radical change. The recent
revolution in the art of soldiering in America emphasizes a
smaller, but more highly specialized and technologically equipped,
armed force. Now, even everyday soldiers in America's armed forces
specialize in elite combat skills that use the very latest
high-tech equipment.After basic training, many of today's recruits
continue advanced training in one of the new emerging combat
specialties, such as urban, mountain and arctic warfare;
amphibious, underwater and small boat operations; modern cavalry
combat; sniping; military intelligence and psychological warfare;
search and rescue procedures, and combat engineering.In lively and
entertaining prose, military historian Sam Southworth describes
these emerging combat specialties-as well as the training and
equipment for each-that characterize America's fighting force
today.
