This book addresses the critical importance of courage in combat and when in a dangerous situation. A soldier’s combat performance pivots on his courage. Without it, all other combat qualities may be forfeited. A soldier’s duty is in essence an act of courage, which cannot be counted on in every soldier and in every situation. How then does an Army maintain that fragile heart of courage in their own soldiers, while destroying the will and courage of their enemy? Military leaders have recognized that it is the will of the soldier that is decisive. Combat is a mutual and sustained act of will between contending parties. A battle is usually decided when the soldier, or one side, loses its moral resolution to stand and fight. This book describes the factors that contribute to the soldier’s will and spirit to preserve in combat.
