PMCI - May 2016
Welcome to the May 2016 Issue of PMCI - the only magazine dedicated to the PMC sector. In this issue we take a look at "SimGun", which brings training close to reality but without the risks. We also speak to EUSECA UK about how to deal with the dreaded "active shooter" scenario. Kit-wise, we get together with Helikon-Tex to check out their latest products and meet British brand "Bulldog" to take a look at their "bomber tough" tactical gear. We also get our hands on some stunning new helmet models from Armorsource and PMCI Editor, Bill, brings us his take on the tactical area at the 2016 IWA show in Nuremberg. Not forgetting firearms, we see what happens when you take a well-known handgun and add some custom parts, while our two "tame" contractors discuss how they prepare their primary when they get in-country. We also welcome new contributor "Chalky" White to PMCI, as he gives us some tips on how to get the very best from your contract-issued AK.

GUERILLAS<br />
IN THE MIST<br />
BOOK REVIEW Guerillas in the mist<br />
Whether you are going into battle or just want to learn<br />
how insurgents think, fight and survive, Guerrillas In The<br />
Mist will really give you the lowdown! In this world where<br />
understanding the insurgent is so vital, this book really<br />
delivers.<br />
Open this book and travel to Switzerland, Saigon, Cuba’s Sierra<br />
Maestra and post-World War Two China where you will be the<br />
consummate student of clandestine warfare as practised by<br />
victorious guerrillas for thousands of years. Bob Newman, a<br />
former US Marine, leads novice and experienced combat soldier<br />
alike into the grim, violent world of guerrilla warfare.<br />
Drawing examples from its rich history and applying proven<br />
concepts, techniques, principles of leadership, tactics, and<br />
operational art, plus his own global experience honed by years<br />
on the forward edge of the battle area, Newman teaches exactly<br />
what you must know to win on the battlefield as a guerrilla<br />
leader.<br />
Learn every facet of the grim, violent world of guerrilla warfare:<br />
basic field craft; mines and booby traps; tunnel construction and<br />
strategy; ambushes; urban and nocturnal tactics; interrogation,<br />
indoctrination and exploitation; psyops; and more.<br />
The author is quite obviously a master of his subject and uses<br />
not only the written word but black and white photographs and<br />
diagrams to really get his point across. Newman certainly doesn’t<br />
pull his punches!<br />
If you really want an insight into what moulds and makes a<br />
guerrilla insurgent then this book should be a “must read”; from<br />
an academic study point of view it really is one of a kind, and in<br />
my opinions should be on every potential contractors reading list.<br />
Gunnery Sergeant Bob Newman, USMC retired from the Corps<br />
after more than 20 years serving in associated reconnaissance,<br />
infantry, special operations and instructor roles. He served with<br />
the Corps in the Gulf War as an infantry unit leader, and spent<br />
three years as a SERE instructor at the fabled Navy SERE School<br />
in Maine. His final tour was as a warfighting instructor at the<br />
Maine Corps Staff NCO Academys’s Advanced Course aboard<br />
Camp Geiger.<br />
