Elite Forces Selection

by Jack Montana

Overview

Elite forces only want the best men in their ranks. That is why their selection courses are the toughest in the world. Only one out of every four recruits to the United States Army Rangers, for instance, make it through all phases of their training. Elite Forces Selection takes you into the heart of special unit training, and shows you what you need to do to pass. Fitness and preparation come first; then you have to face everything from brutal speed marches to the underwater tests of the U.S. Navy SEALs. The selection courses of individual units are examined, revealing: • How the Navy SEALs train themselves to prevent drowning. • How the Special Forces become medical experts. • How you can control your mind in order to succeed.
