The few, the proud ...
That's one of the slogans used by the US Marines. Marine infantrymen are a branch of the armed forces tasked with particularly demanding missions, and they also think a lot about what they do. And they have to: strategy is long-term planning and orientation aimed at achieving specific goals through the targeted use of resources.
The US Marines have experience in this area: they were founded in 1775 to support the American colonies in the War of Independence. They quickly developed into a powerful unit known for their strength, discipline, and flexibility. Throughout history, the Marines have carried out numerous missions worldwide, from defending the country in the American Civil War to modern foreign deployments. Today, they are considered one of the most important elite units in the US armed forces, known for their ability to land, fight, and secure quickly.
And to be thoughtful. In the “Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication” series, they explain the basics of modern warfare in a very clever and easy-to-understand way. Their craft. That's exactly why we publish them. Available so far:
Krieg führen. Die Grundlagen moderner Konflikte (Warfare. The Fundamentals of Modern Conflict) (SPARTANAT Red Book 5)
Der Feldzug. Die Grundlagen für den Einsatz (The Campaign. The Fundamentals of Operations) (SPARTANAT Red Book 11)
