    Tactics For Non-Military

    Howdy,

    I just finished listening to the audiobook "Lonestar Odyssey" It's a so-so story that works as a half-arsed SHTF manual. I won't spoil it but it's pretty ridiculous even as SHTF novels go.

    One premise is a USMC SF character to have to guide some non-military types in a SHTF situation.

    Got me to thinking IF YOU were the SF character and thrown into a situation with some folks who maybe had some firearm and Boy Scout type skills what books would you recommend to get them up to speed tactics wise?

    I'll state up front tactics and SF training is not book learning BUT there may be some simple foundations that could get some otherwise competent types more in line if you ended up in a situation where tactics are needed.

    Even say setting up a prepper community with some neighbors or friends and you're the expert. What knowledge would you like them to have as a base to build upon.

    I endorse this message.

    There’s also this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Tacticalincentive . I have not checked out all the videos, but the two SUT ones I watched yesterday were useful.

    John Mosby from Mountain Guerrilla Blog has some military manual-style books written for this type of scenario.

    In a 4 day Heat 1 class you will get up speed on weapons manipulation and Day 3 and 4 you will be on the tactical ranges running drills with a buddy and later with a fire team shooting pop up Ivan targets.

    As a civilian serious about learning these skills, this would be the #1 choice to consider.

    They would need at a minimum to be able to do basic manipulations safely, work around and move around others safely, pay attention to simple instructions like getting in a line, etc.

    Sounds simple but anyone that has instructed firearms classes will tell how half the guys that come with tricked out rifles can't do the "simple" tasks above.
