Secrecy News, which I just cited the other day, has a real gem in today's issue. It points us to a new Army Field manual, on the use of pack animals by Special Forces.
The comments on elephants are hilarious, as SN notes. But I liked the manual overall -- it's a pretty good primer on horsemanship, as well as packing. It suffers from the usual Army FM problems, but within the genre, it's a good one. The section on first aid and common disorders for pack animals is particularly good. Indeed, the entire fourth chapter is full of useful information for horsemen that might otherwise take a long time to learn.
Good work, Army.
