This volume reviews UW theory, practices, and tactics, techniques, and procedures. Discussion is structured around the seven phases of Special Forces UW operations:

Preparation; Initial contact; Infiltration; Organization; Buildup; Employment; and Transition.

Each phase details a set of core activities for the soldier.

The concluding section provides a guide to further resources on key UW topics, including a list of recommended sources on law and policy, doctrine, and academic research.

The UW pocket guide is designed to be a quick reference guide for the ARSOF soldier to identify terms, definitions, joint publication references, and doctrine.
