ACTUELLEMENT ÉPUISÉ

Elite Ser.: The British Army in Afghanistan 2006-14 : Task Force Helmand by Leigh Neville (2015, Trade Paperback)

The series of deployments jointly known as Operation 'Herrick' saw the British Army and Royal Marines fighting in Afghanistan alongside US and other NATO troops for almost a decade - their longest continuous combat commitment since World War II. As the threat from their elusive and dangerous enemy diversified and evolved, so British doctrine, tactics and equipment had to develop in parallel. This book, illustrated with frontline photographs and specially commissioned colour artwork, provides a concise account of Operation 'Herrick' from start to finish. It covers the deployment of formations and units, the changing nature of the threat from the Taliban insurgents, and consequent developments in British tactics, weapons, personal equipment, vehicles and countermeasures. The reader will learn the hard facts of a testing conflict that has shaped the British forces for years past and years to come. Book jacket.
