Features: Special forces are sharp arrows executing special missions. Whether deep behind enemy lines for reconnaissance support the main force, or directly participating in combat to complete "surgical" strikes, sudden attacks, retaliatory actions, hostage rescue, and a series of extremely challenging combat tasks, small-scale special forces always demonstrate unexpected special roles. Today, in counter-terrorism operations, drug interdiction, quelling unrest, humanitarian actions, and safeguarding national sovereignty, special forces are also gradually showcasing irreplaceable special roles. During large-scale wars, special forces can also engage in unconventional warfare through various special means, with the final outcome often exceeding people's imagination. Today, many countries have established their own special forces, which are very familiar with the cultural traditions and customs of their regions. In addition, due to regular rotations and joint military exercises with allied forces, some special forces in Western countries can perform "global reconnaissance" and "diplomatic mission" tasks during peacetime. Special forces are composed of soldiers with multiple tactical skills, with the motto: "Facts speak louder than words." Their basic characteristics include a sense of responsibility, confidence, versatility, all-weather capability, and opposition to individual heroism while promoting teamwork. However, the name of special forces itself contains such meanings: advocating teamwork. However, the name of special forces itself implies executing tough and dangerous combat missions. Even living in the city, there are many opportunities in life to go on long-distance trips to the countryside or camp in the wilderness. However, these are not ideal camping sites, and if you encounter danger, you must find ways to continue surviving. Canadian special forces and Australia's Special Air Service (SAS) excel in wilderness survival, and they will teach you the field survival skills of elite forces, such as which foods you can safely consume, how to build shelters, what clothing to wear, how to determine your location, and more. After reading this book, we believe it can answer all your questions. In addition, special forces personnel can also teach you some secrets of wilderness survival:
