JOINT SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIVERSITY
Colonel Warner “Rocky” Farr has made an important contribution to
the body of SOF knowledge with this well-researched monograph.
He advances the understanding of the many challenges and accom-
plishments related to guerrilla warfare medicine—care provided by
predominantly indigenous medical personnel under austere con-
ditions with limited evacuation capability —by providing a survey
of the historical record in UW literature. Colonel Farr relates many
historical experiences in the eld, assesses their eectiveness, and
lays a foundation for further in-depth study of the subject. The Joint
Special Operations University is pleased to oer this monograph
as a means of providing those scholars and operators, as well as
policymakers and military leaders, a greater understanding of the
complex and complicated eld of guerrilla warfare medicine.
