Evolutionary Tactics is the First Earth Battalion’s Field Manual. As seen in the movie The Men Who Stare at Goats, the manual was created by Jim Channon for the U.S. Army and first published in 1978. It illustrates high performance concepts and evolutionary ideas. Originally passed on officer-to-officer via photocopy, it has since become something of a collector’s item.
Now you can obtain a rare copy of this manual. Its 150 pages are filled with curious artistic renderings, cartoons, and out-of-the-ordinary ideas. Over 10,000 copies have been downloaded from the web.
In 1978, Lieutenant Colonel Jim Channon announced that he worked for the planet.
While at the Army War College in Carlisle Barracks, Channon spent two years researching the value of the Human Potential Movement. He created a proto-mythology for the soldier of the future known as “The First Earth Battalion.” These warrior monks would dedicate their allegiance first and foremost to people and the planet.
