Preface-
Anti terrorist operations (ATOPS) are fought on a wide front. The army
forces,various government departments and the civilian population all
have a role to play. In implementing the anti-terrorist action contained
herein, members of the army forces must appreciate the vital need for
cooperation and the under-standing of each other's characteristics and
capabilities.
ATOPS warfare probably places a greater
burden of responsibility on the individual than does any other form of
conflict. It connotes small groups and light scales. Catch-words are
thorough training, self-discipline,skill at
arms,initiative,guile,endurance and above all, the will to win.
