Military
Training And Children In Armed Conflict: Law, Policy And Practice (Hardcover), by
Jenny Kuper. Martinus Nijhoff (April 15, 2005).
During recent armed conflicts – such
as those in Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, and Rwanda – public attention was repeatedly
caught by images of children, both as civilians and as soldiers. Those conflicts, like so
many others, were vivid reminders that where there is armed conflict there are also,
almost always, children. Soldiers and officers fulfil many roles in relation to such
children – sometimes as combatants, sometimes as humanitarian workers, sometimes as
protectors, and/or sometimes as enemies and abusers. This book aims to address three main
questions: what are the obligations of officers of national armed forces in relation to
children, either civilians or combatants, whom they or those under their command may
encounter while participating in situations of armed conflict? How realistic and
achievable are these obligations? How can compliance with them be encouraged, monitored,
and/or enforced? The book examines these questions in the context of military training. In
doing so, it has another inextricably linked aim: to see if there are ways in which the
training of officers can improve the protection of children in armed conflict situations,
in accordance with international law and policy. It is intended for use particularly by
those involved in training of national armed forces, including officers themselves, and
members of governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and inter-governmental
organisations. It is hoped that it will also be of interest to lawyers, academics and
others concerned with ‘child rights’ and related law and policy. It contains
examples of actual training materials that can be modified for use in different countries
and contexts. Information

It Through Boot Camp (Paperback), by Peter Thompson. Universal Publishers; 2
edition (February 2003).

information is free from biased interests because it is "written by a recruit for a
recruit." Although tailored toward the Army and Marines, any person enlisting in the
Armed Forces will find the information exceedingly valuable. Even if a person is just
thinking about the military, this book will help. Information
