Greetings:

One good place to go to is the Strategy Page...

The USMC has an excellent professional development
program. The guide that program is called "A Book on
Books". Try:

Worth its weight in electrons for books ranging from
small unit to theatre wide!!!

Off the top of my head, I recall a book called
"Maneuver Warfare". There were two sort of "play by
paragraph" books by Antal (???), Tank Platoon and
Infantry Platoon that you might want to look for.

James Dunnigan, with various folks like Austin Bay or
solo, has a number of books that you might want to
look for.

If you can locate GDW's "Phase Line Smash", that is an
excellent demonstration of (relatively) modern
warfare.

Don't neglect the classics! Like the USMC "Book on
Books" shows, the works of Clauswitz and such still
have application today!

Finally, the current conflicts are starting to produce
some interesting looking books. Due to my perpetual
underemployment, I haven't bought many, but check the
Modern History/Current Events sections of your local
bookstore. 

In some cases, you can score in print or on the
big/small screen. The book "Black Hawk Down" and the
movie (get the 2-disc version with all the commentary
and documentaries and like) are a good deal. They got
combat mostly right in that one.

Team Trackless, a computer game. Some of the stuff in
here is worth using for other games:
