Sentry Removal Methods: From WWII to the Present
SENTRY REMOVAL From WWII to the Present
What happens when survival depends on escaping captivity, confronting a violent attacker, or protecting someone you love when no help is immediately available? Sentry Removal Methods examines a specialized body of military knowledge developed for some of the most dangerous circumstances imaginable. Drawing upon military manuals dating back to World War II, supplemented by insights from experienced operatives, this work explores the history and evolution of sentry neutralization methods across generations of military training.
Organized into sections covering historical methods, practical applications, and prevention, the book examines techniques involving knives, sticks, garrotes, and unarmed combat. It also explores the psychological dimensions of confronting a guarded adversary, historical case studies involving unlawful captivity, and the importance of understanding one's surroundings. Together, these subjects offer a window into a little-known aspect of military close-combat doctrine and the serious realities behind its development.
Although these methods originated in military contexts, the circumstances that make such knowledge relevant are not confined to the battlefield. Kidnapping, home invasion, and other forms of unlawful captivity represent extreme situations in which the consequences of violence can be life-altering. Edited by Fernan Vargas and James Loriega, Sentry Removal From WWII to the Present is an informative historical and reference work for readers interested in military history, close-combat traditions, tactical training, and the enduring question of survival under the gravest of circumstances. The material is intended for informational purposes and should not be treated as a substitute for qualified, supervised instruction.
