In August 2005, the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command, Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence-Threats released the Military Guide to Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century. The Guide was designed primarily for US military forces, however, other applicable groups such as state and local first responders can benefit from the information contained in the Guide. While primarily written to support operational missions, institutional training, and professional military education for US military forces in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), US domestic first responders will also find the Guide beneficial.
According to the Guide, understanding terrorism spans foreign and domestic threats of nation-states, rogue states with international or transnational agent demonstrations, and actors with specific strategies, tactics, and targets. A central aspect of this terrorism guide comprises foreign and domestic threats against the United States of America in a contemporary operational environment (COE).
The Guide provides information on the nature of terrorism, terrorist groups and terrorist method of operations. Complied from open source materials, the Guide includes a main handbook and four supplemental readers:

750 Police Officers
Police-Writers.com is a website that lists 750 state and local police officers who have written books. The 750th law enforcement official listed was Lieutenant Lee Ballenger, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
In 1951 and at the Age of 17, Lee Ballenger enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. During his first year in the Marine Corps he trained with the 3rd Tank Battalion. Shortly after his 18th birthday, Lee Ballenger was shipped out to Korea, arriving in January 1953. After a short stint “with the 1st Reconnaissance Company, he returned to tanks in time to participate in the Nevada Cities fighting at the end of March.” Lee Ballenger continued as a tank crewman until the end of fighting in Korea. He re-enlisted in the Marine Corps and served as a military police officer until his discharge in 1957.
After his discharge Lee Ballenger began his law enforcement career with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. He retired in 1989 at the rank of Lieutenant. Lee Ballenger is the author of a two volume set on the Korean War: The Outpost War: U.S. Marine Corps in Korea, 1952 and The Final Crucible: U.S. Marines in Korea, 1953.
According to David Alperstein of Library Journal, “In his first book, Ballenger succeeds in presenting a lucid account of the 1st Marine Division in western Korea in 1952, a period of the war (June 1950-July 1953) he describes as a "stalemate" while also pointing out that 40 percent of all Marine casualties occurred after April 1952. Ballenger argues that this period is ignored by historians. This book is actually the first of a two-part set whose second volume will cover 1953 and the final bloody months of the war. The author uses the personal experiences and insights he gained while serving in the 1st Division Reconnaissance Company and the 1st Tank Battalion as well as his battalion command diaries and other sources to write a concise, readable study of what he calls the "Unknown War." The tactics and strategies used by the Marines, Chinese, and Korean (North and South) are described and analyzed. The appendixes provide a detailed list of the many hills, outposts, and military sites relevant to the 1st Division's story. The book is not meant to be a detailed historical study, but it is an intelligent look at one phase of the Korean War. Recommended for public and academic libraries, this will be of special interest to veterans and military history buffs.”
According to Roland Green, in Booklist, “In his second volume on marine operations during the Korean War's last years, Ballenger continues to be a military historian equally useful to the scholar and the casual buff. The fighting centered on outposts, as each side sought to obtain the best positions to influence the peace negotiations through numerous small operations, occasional larger ones, and many raids, patrols, and outbursts of harassing fire. Highlighted in this volume are one of the largest raids, of Ungok; the bloody ambush at Gray Rock; the long fight for a complex of outposts named after Nevada cities; and the worst battle of 1953, for Boulder City--the last marine engagement in Korea. Lee Ballenger continues to provide model accounts of small-unit actions, to enlighten readers on the value of tanks in infantry support (a high-velocity tank gun is good backup), and to be none too charitable toward what is described as the army's tendency to leave the marines holding the bag. Like its companion, The Outpost War (2000), this is a nearly indispensable Korean War history”
Police-Writers.com now hosts 750 police officers (representing 346 police departments) and their 1599 police books in six categories, there are also listings of United States federal law enforcement employees turned authors, international police officers who have written books and civilian police personnel who have written books.

Three Illinois Cops
Police-Writers.com is a website that lists state and local police officers who have written books. The website added three police officers from departments within the State of Illinois: William “Bill” Redding, Joseph J. Truncale and Sargei “Sarge” Hoteko.
William “Bill” Redding spent time as a police officer in Evanston, Illinois where the excitement of “the pursuit” filled his career. He reached the pinnacle of his profession as the chief of police for the Belvidere Police Department (Illinois). While a police officer, he obtained a master’s degree, and worked in every division of law enforcement.
William Redding is the author of Holy Orders. According to the book description, “The United States criminal justice system is in conflict with that of the Vatican. This novel discloses the power of the Catholic Church over the government and the media in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. You may be surprised which system prevails in the end and which system is the most effective.”
Joseph J. Truncale is a retired police officer from the Glenview Police Department (Illinois). His special interest and expertise is in the police defensive tactics, police weapons, officer survival, martial art and citizen self-defense fields. He has designed numerous officer survival courses and has taught police and security officers from around the world at international conferences.
Joseph Truncale is a lifetime student of the martial arts, earning black belts in numerous systems, including Karate (Rokudan), Jujitsu (Kudan), and Judo (Godan). He has also had extensive training in many other combat systems such as Krav Maga, Haganah, Target Focus Training, Knife Combat, Stick fighting, Gracie Jujitsu, Small Circle Jujitsu, boxing and numerous other fighting arts. Joseph Truncale was one of the founding directors of ASLET and is on the advisory board of ILEETA (International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association).
Joseph Truncale is certified as an International Instructor in the Monadnock Defensive Tactics system, the PR-24 Police Baton, the Expandable Straight Baton. He is also the Chief Instructor in the Mini-Baton, Weapon Retention, Knife Handling and Knife Defense. He has been on the advisory board of the Monadnock Police Training Council for many years.
Joseph Truncale is the author of Season of the Warrior: A Poetic Tribute to Warriors. According to the book description, “This is a book for anyone who desires to understand the warrior's heart and soul. Those who practice, or has an interest in, Judo, Karate, Jujitsu, Aikido, Kenjutsu, Aikijujitsu, Police tactics, military or any other warrior combat systems, will find words of praise honoring Warriors with poetry. Those who are not involved in the Warrior Arts but who wish to understand the inner soul of The Warrior will also be enlightened by the poems and essays in this volume. Finally, this is the only book on poetry that focuses completely on honoring Warriors and the vital role they play in the history of human kind.”
Sargei “Sarge” Hoteko served 27 years in various law enforcement capacities. After his military service in the United States Army he joined the Lake Forest Police Department (Illinois). Then, in 1975, he joined the United States Customs Service. Ultimately, he retired as Chief Inspector for Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Sarge Hoteko is the author of two books: On The Fringe Of History: A riveting behind-the-scenes look at the war on drugs and terrorism from a "fed" who fought the fight and Hoteko's Laws: A Manager's Guide to Success, Survival and Sanity in the Federal Government.
On The Fringe Of History is Chief Inspector Sarge Hoteko's personal memoir, including his experiences as a narcotic interdiction and antiterrorism instructor in 16 countries around the globe. Hoteko reveals the shocking, rampant and systematic corruption within many of those governments, especially; Pakistan, Mexico, Bolivia and Nigeria--the most corrupt nation on earth. On The Fringe of History follows one American's fascinating career around the world and captures the sheer patriotic joy he experienced while serving his country.
Hoteko's Laws: A Manager's Guide to Success, Survival and Sanity in the Federal Government are “Chief Inspector Sarge Hoteko's golden rules on managing in the federal government. He states only 10 percent of those in management make any useful contribution. The remaining 90 percent are along for the free ride - all at taxpayer expense. You'll meet the people he labels: The sandbaggers, the clowns, the wackos, the yes men and the stargazers.
Discover the other myriad impeding factors that face the 10 percenters. Observe how prying reporters, pompous politicians, devious lawyers, power hungry unions and volatile EEO issues can impact a manager's ability to get the job done. Learn the shocking truth behind some talented people who sadly self-destructed. Examine his compelling case that the 10 percenters are better managers than their private industry counterparts.”
Police-Writers.com now hosts 590 police officers (representing 250 police departments) and their 1234 books in six categories, there are also listings of United States federal law enforcement employees turned authors, international police officers who have written books and civilian police personnel who have written books.
