That means you're pitting the US Army-trained soldier's Tactics skill against the samurai's skill 24. And with skill 24, there's a good chance that the samurai has read the book or analysed his opponents' application of it and found a weak spot or two. For that matter, is every soldier in the unit fully familiar with these textbooks, and familiar with what they say about the particular position the samurai might try to engage them in? For example, is there a version of the 21-foot rule for katana vs M16? Not to mention, samurai had access to a wider range of weapons than just katana.
