Precis of "The Other Side of the Mountain" by Grau and Ali (Muj Tactics)


Recommended Posts

Came across this while looking for a different article and thought it would be of interest. This is a distillation of how the Muj fought (and the Taliban fight), presented as a series of combat vignettes scattered around the country. This project was funded by USMC and used to teach tactics to the troops deploying to Afghanistan--without making the Marines read a 400 page book while frantically gearing up for deployment.

 

Afghan Insurgent Tactics, Techniques, And Procedures Field Guide

 

Based on “The Other Side of the Mountain: Mujahideen Tactics in the Soviet-Afghan War” by Ali Ahmad Jalali and Lester W. Grau

With several new MCIA-developed vignettes from recent U.S. operations in Afghanistan
