What are the key differences between the seasoned soldier and the untrained person? Two words: character and capability.

CHARACTER means possessing a clearly-defined, well-founded system of values and ideology: honor, loyalty, esprit de corps, personal standards, collective and individual responsibility.

CAPABILITY means possessing the knowledge and training to act correctly and effectively under any circumstances, using skills both innate and learned, to defeat human enemies and challenges of environment - and achieve success, whatever the odds.

The combination of these qualities creates the warrior - a person whose greatest asset is not the mere capacity to apply violence, but the ability to walk tall, confident and unafraid in the face of any danger.

Covering an astonishing variety of topics, this unique manual may be the single greatest source of character- and capability-building education ever made available under one cover for military personnel and civilians alike.

"Duty, honor, country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, and what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn."

General Douglas MacArthur
