  1. I remember watching the television series, "THE RAT PATROL", which was about these guys.

    At Fort Hood, Texas, I actually trained and practiced doing this stuff, as a Cavalry Scout (MOS 11 D 20) in the 1st Cavalry Division.

    A scout team consisted of two (02) Jeeps, each having a pedestal mounted M-60 machine gun, and crewed by three (03) men, a driver, an observer, and a gunner.

  2. An excellent book on these guys is "Killing Rommel" by Steven Pressfield. And then on to "Gates of Fire".
