Thank you for the clarification. I was very much surprised by how easy-to-read Guerrilla Warfare was, and that for the most part it lacked out-and-out political rhetoric (other than naming the guerrilla's the 'people's army' etc).

To an outsider, it seems that much of the tactics and concepts written about in GW are similar to those used by USSF. Was there an omni-directional flow of information, did one concept feed off of the other, or did they develop seperately? Noting the date, SF had been around officially for one year (10th Grp).

Does anyone know approximately the time when the helicopter-insertion warfare techniques used by Air Assault and Cavalry in Viet Nam was first coined?

Thank you,

Solid
