The Humvee, the modern-day US military four-wheel-drive successor to the Willys Jeep, is used by numerous armed forces around the world and in some civilian adaptations. Over 10,000 Humvees were deployed in numerous roles by coalition forces during the Iraq war. At least 25 variants of this highly versatile vehicle have been produced, from unarmoured light transport to surface-to-air missile platform, including ambulances, tracked versions, troop carriers and special ops variants. This manual provides a unique insight into the world of military Humvees, with an emphasis on military operation and equipment.

Theoretical investigations are undertaken to relate intensity of turbulent air motion to Doppler radar spectrum mean and variance in precipitation environments. Examples of theoretical radar derived turbulence power density spectra and total precipitation motion variance show that effects due to imperfect particle response are significant for turbulence scale lengths less than 250 m. Doppler spectrum variance and estimated eddy dissipation rate (epsilon) are found strongly dependent upon precipitation environment for ranges less than about 20 km, and for cases where the turbulence outer scale length (lambda) is less than 0.5 km. They are also found to be essentially independent of lambda when the maximum pulse volume dimension is less than 1/2 lambda, and independent of range but strongly dependent on lambda at ranges where the maximum pulse volume dimension is greater than lambda. Estimation of epsilon by radar is shown to be unreliable until a method of remotely determining lambda is found. Nevertheless, classification of turbulence severity (index = cube root of epsilon is possible with only a reasonable guess of lambda. Analyses of aircraft/gust velocity data indicate that thunderstorm turbulence is localized into discrete patches, and that such localization must be accounted for when aircraft gust velocity data undergo power spectrum analysis.

At its heart, a counterinsurgency is an armed struggle for the support of the population. Support can be achieved or lost through information engagement, strong representative government, access to goods and services, fear, or violence. This armed struggle also involves eliminating insurgents who threaten the safety and security of the population. However, military units alone cannot defeat an insurgency. Most of the work involves discovering and solving the population's underlying issues, that is, the root causes of their dissatisfaction. Tactics In Counterinsurgency provides the reader with the tactical leadership skills necessary to handle these diverse issues.
