This is the OSCARDELTA SPD edited version of the restricted 4TAC5 Counter Kidnap & Hostage Survival Handbook.
Life is unpredictable, anyone, anytime, anywhere can be prone to abduction, kidnap, restraint and
detention during conditions of armed conflict, civil unrest or operations other than war.
The Counter Kidnap & Hostage Survival Handbook is, first and foremost a modest effort to bring clarity
to a complex issue. It contains select content from 1,000's of pages of open source literature and input from
subject matter experts to provide a fundamental understanding of counter kidnap and hostage survival strategies
that will provide the best possible chance of adapting to the demands of captivity, irrespective of how long this endures.
