Common Infantry Tasks Testing-The Basic Requirements Applied To Survivalists

A Great Outline for INDIVIDUAL Task.

So often training of this type focuses on SUT (Small Unit Tactics) without first addressing Individual skill-sets.

I have selected what I believe are the realistic tasks that a Survivalist who mean to go into harms way should have a basic understanding of, if not at least a basic proficiency in.

Shots in the Dark – Why So Many Western Covert Operations Have Failed Since WW2

A Great read both from a historical point of view and practical, Civilian Operator POV on the RELEVANCE of Guerilla Warfare in the 21st Century.

You have to Understand the Lessons of History in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past….this is why every Warrior needs to be a Scholar and Historian FIRST!

Read this article twice and look up the links and read about them…this is a study worthy of your time I promise you.

CO 101: Small Unit Tactics Review

I have been brushing up on Small Unit Tactics this month in my training.

Here are a few lessons I have been reviewing.

Note: These vids are very basic and to the point but will give you a general ideal.

Also, I have never trained with any of the companies or people in these vids, nor am I being paid to endorse them.

I simply did a cursory search for some vids with solid SUT information and this is what I found.

I also highly Recommend having dog eared copies of the following manuals on hand to refer back too and study frequently:

SH21-75 The Ranger Handbook, 1992 Edition or 2006 ed.
FM 7-8 The Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad, 1992 ed.

Examining Guerilla Warfare Tactics: Assaulting a Fixed Position

Small Unit Tactics: Assault on a Fixed Fortified Position

Another basic primer on SUT.

I will warn you though, this is a tactic that unless dire circumstances call for or your numbers are superior, I would avoid if possible.

Remember the strength of a small guerilla force is to harass and wear down by attrition, taking on fixed enemy strong points head on is more suited for large platoon or company sized conventional units with artillery and air support.

Urban Warfare: Anatomy of the Room

August 20, 2016 by The Tactical Hermit in Armed Citizen Corner, Asymmetrical Warfare, Crime Awareness, Guerilla Warfare, Guerilla Warfare History, Small unit Tactics, Urban Warfare and tagged CQB Fighting in Rooms, Fighting in Structures, MOUT Training, Room Anatomy, Room Clearing, Small unit Tactics, Spotterup, Urban Warfare | 1 Comment

ANATOMY OF THE ROOM PART 1

ANATOMY OF THE ROOM PART 2

This is great information not just for the civilian squad using Small Unit Tactics but for the individual civilian homeowner who may have to “Clear” his own home or other structure because time is of the essence and you cannot wait 30 minutes for Police to arrive. Fighting inside structures is tough and you need to train for this!
