		<description><![CDATA[In the Danish army men and women serve in combat units on equal terms. I had a female driver in my reconnaissance platoon in Iraq and two female riflemen in my infantry platoon in Afghanistan’s Helmand province.
Does leading women in combat create special challenges?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    Crack-crack-crack

    The air is filled with dust and sharp cracks from bullets passing by mere inches away.

    I dive for cover and begin returning fire. After 10 rounds I look around. My sections are in position. Without stopping to think I make a dash across an open field to get to the front section for a better overview.

    I find the section commander in a ditch returning fire. He immediately starts to brief me on the situation. The words make no sense to me. I take two deep breaths to calm myself down. Suddenly I am able to grasp what he is saying:

    “Four enemy fighters are in position in the hedgerow in front of us. If you can get 1 and 2 section to provide suppressing fire we can close in on them head on.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The human organism is designed to mobilise force into a fight or flight mode when a threat occurs. Blood flows to the major muscle groups in the body, the heart rate rises and the body will probably eliminate any unnecessary weight.
That would  probably have been very useful, had the threat been a sabre tooth tiger jumping out of a bush on the African savannah 10.000 years ago. On the modern day battleground some of these reactions might even be dangerous.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A superb insight into infantry tactics at company and platoon level.

When you notice that the author of this book is Erwin Rommel,  you might think of the German desert fox who fought Montgomery and Patton in North Africa during World War II. However, in World War I, the same Erwin Rommel was an infantry commander. “Infantry attacks” is his highly recommended analysis of his own combat experience. R3VVMRFNM4DA]]></description>
