CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This manual is based entirely on the keyword SURVIVAL. The letters in
this word can help guide you in your actions in any survival situation.
Whenever faced with a survival situation, remember the word SURVIVAL.
SURVIVAL ACTIONS
The following paragraphs expand on the meaning of each letter of the word survival.
Study and remember what each letter signifies because you may some day have to make
it work for you.
S -Size Up the Situation
If you are in a combat situation, find a place where you can conceal yourself from the
enemy. Remember, security takes priority. Use your senses of hearing, smell, and sight to
get a feel for the battlefield. What is the enemy doing? Advancing? Holding in place?
Retreating? You will have to consider what is developing on the battlefield when you
make your survival plan.
Size Up Your Surroundings
Determine the pattern of the area. Get a feel for what is going on around you. Every
environment, whether forest, jungle, or desert, has a rhythm or pattern. This rhythm or
pattern includes animal and bird noises and movements and insect sounds. It may also
include enemy traffic and civilian movements.
Size Up Your Physical Condition
The pressure of the battle you were in or the trauma of being in a survival situation may
have caused you to overlook wounds you received. Check your wounds and give yourself
first aid. Take care to prevent further bodily harm. For instance, in any climate, drink

plenty of water to prevent dehydration. If you are in a cold or wet climate, put on
additional clothing to prevent hypothermia.
Size Up Your Equipment
Perhaps in the heat of battle, you lost or damaged some of your equipment. Check to see
what equipment you have and what condition it is in.
Now that you have sized up your situation, surroundings, physical condition, and
equipment, you are ready to make your survival plan. In doing so, keep in mind your
basic physical needs--water, food, and shelter.
U -Use All Your Senses, Undue Haste Makes Waste
You may make a wrong move when you react quickly without thinking or planning. That
move may result in your capture or death. Don't move just for the sake of taking action.
Consider all aspects of your situation (size up your situation) before you make a decision
and a move. If you act in haste, you may forget or lose some of your equipment. In your
haste you may also become disoriented so that you don't know which way to go. Plan
your moves. Be ready to move out quickly without endangering yourself if the enemy is
near you. Use all your senses to evaluate the situation. Note sounds and smells. Be
sensitive to temperature changes. Be observant.
R -Remember Where You Are
Spot your location on your map and relate it to the surrounding terrain. This is a basic
principle that you must always follow. If there are other persons with you, make sure they
also know their location. Always know who in your group, vehicle, or aircraft has a map
and compass. If that person is killed, you will have to get the map and compass from him.
Pay clo se attention to where you are and to where you are going. Do not rely on others in
the group to keep track of the route. Constantly orient yourself. Always try to determine,
as a minimum, how your location relates to--
The location of enemy units and controlled areas.
The location of friendly units and controlled areas.
The location of local water sources (especially important in the desert).
Areas that will provide good cover and concealment.
This information will allow you to make intelligent decisions when you are in a survival
and evasion situation.
V -Vanquish Fear and Panic
The greatest enemies in a combat survival and evasion situation are fear and panic. If
uncontrolled, they can destroy your ability to make an intelligent decision. They may
cause you to react to your feelings and imagination rather than to your situation. They can
