Official synopsis Publisher
“Guerrilla Grunt is an incisive account of one Marine officer’s pioneering efforts to develop the 2nd Marine Division Counter-guerilla Warfare Center (CGWC), and the only authentic Vietnam combat training center in America, at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in 1965 … Guerrilla Grunt is both an impressive analysis of the complexities of shifting from conventional war to fighting a counterinsurgency (COIN) and a compelling personal memoir of how Colonel Fischer was able to overcome the resistance of those who failed to recognize that current doctrine left us unprepared to face a guerrilla enemy we barely knew.”–
