Not every scenario in the prepperverse results in a bug-out to well-stocked retreat in the hills. In actuality, most emergencies will have you bugged-in and waiting until things cool down.
This is a class that gets you to look at your home as a defensive position before things get bad. In the city or at the farm, you will know how to put up a good fight if the time comes. Using some tactical thought, we will consider the following and more:
-Does my house make a good target? -What is a defensive position? -Concepts of defensive planning
-Hiding in plain sight -Surveillance and counter-surveillance -How well do you kow your neighborhood? -What assets are near you? -How to deal with transient invaders or hungry homeless
-Avenues of approach and/or escape -Levels of perimeter -Fighting positions or flowerpots? -Passive and active defenses -3 types of attack you need to know -Fields of observation or sectors of fire? -What is a range card? -Tactical landscaping -Early warning systems -Area denial -How to slow down enemy approach -How to spot a distraction/decoy
-Reinforcing entries -The QRF and how to deploy it
-Falling back -Exit strategy and counter-attacking
