Description

CHOSEN SOLDIER gives readers, for the first time ever, complete access to the training regimen of America's smartest, best-trained, most versatile troops, the Green Berets. These legendary warriors are not just front-line troops; they're able to operate behind enemy lines; recruit, train, and lead local forces; and gather intelligence on the ground. Their efforts are responsible for many of America's victories in Afghanistan and Iraq, and they will only play a larger role as the War on Terror unfolds. An unprecedented view of Green Beret training,drawn fromthe year Dick Couch spent at Special Forces training facilities with the Army's most elite soldiers. In combating terror, America can no longer depend on its conventional military superiority and the use of sophisticated technology. More than ever, we need men like those of the Army Special Forces-the legendary Green Berets. Following the experiences of one class of soldiers as they endure this physically and mentally exhausting ordeal, Couch spells out in fascinating detail the demanding selection process and grueling field exercises, the high-level technical training and intensive language courses, and the simulated battle problems that test everything from how well SF candidates gather operational intelligence to their skills at negotiating with volatile, often hostile, local leaders. Chosen Soldier paints a vivid portrait of an elite group, and a process that forges America's smartest, most versatile, and most valuable fighting force.
