This Guide is older, but still useful.
The Combat Leaders’ Guide is both an extract of doctrinal publications and a compilation of tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). It is principally designed as a pocket reference and memory-jogger.
The Guide is in pocket book style with many topics useful to the combat leader. It is organized in table format with easy to understand information – see below:

This book is a “Mini” (half the size of a piece of paper).
A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading. The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.
The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.
