Marine Corps Terrorism Survival Guide

On September 18, 2001, shortly after the terrorist attacks of 9-11, the United States Marine Corps published “The Individual’s Guide for Understanding and Surviving Terrorism.” This 138 page document outlines terrorism and terrorist incidents. It provides the reader with information on detecting terrorists, including practical tactics for detecting surveillance and general information on protection through awareness.

The guide also provides information on what to expect if taken hostage and offers advice on how a hostage should conduct themselves during hostage taking, imprisonment and rescue. A copy of the Guide is availabe at Hi Tech Criminal Justice's Homeland Security site. The Marine Corps' Terrorism guide, along with other open source intelligence is posted at the Homeland Security site and discussed on an Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) forum on Criminal Justice Online.
