CHAPTER l
INTRODUCTION
Section I. GENERAL
l. Purpose and Scope
a. Modern combat increases the likelihood of your becoming
isolated and having to find water, food, and shelter for many
days—even weeks—while making it back to friendly forces.
Small units fighting in widely dispersed formations or on special
missions forward of friendly lines are more likely to be cut off
than ever before. Large units traveling great distances by air
and sea make survival in remote and desolate areas a real pos
sibility for you. The ability to evade the enemy and to escape if
captured, both basic requirements of the soldier's Code of Con
duct, demands every survival skill you can master. The chances
of being exposed to such an emergency are always present, es

of your basic soldiering skills.
b. This manual has been written to help you acquire these
skills. It tells how to travel, find water and food, shelter your
self from the weather, and care for yourself if you become sick or
injured. This information is first treated generally and then ap
plied specifically to such special areas as the Arctic, the desert,
the jungle, and on the ocean.
c. Individual skills such as map reading, using a compass or
other directional guides, scouting and patrolling, camouflage,
first aid, sanitation, personal hygiene, and night vision provide a
good foundation on which to build further survival skills. You
should have a good general knowledge of them already, so
they are repeated in this manual only as they apply to survival
specifically.
d. You can remain alive anywhere in the world when you keep
your wits. This is a major lesson in survival. Remember that
nature and the elements are neither your friend nor your enemy
—they are actually disinterested. Instead, it is your determina
