This facsimile reprint was originally published 18 December 1990 by the Dept. of the Navy, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, Washington, D.C.
This is a facsimile reprint of U.S. Army Military Intelligence Service Information Bulletin No. 20, originally issued in July 1942. It explains German survival and adaptation to the desert.
Fleet Marine Force Reference Publication (FMFRP) 12-100 was published to ensure the retention and dissemination of useful information which was not intended to become doctrine or to be published in Fleet Marine Force manuals. FMFRP 12-100 provided desert warfare information based on German and British reports.
This booklet was issued to provide Marines participating in Desert Shield/Desert Storm with information on desert warfare.
