If you have a "meeting engagement," everyone should have at least done a bit of discussing and practicing as to how to disengage while presenting an offensive defense.

The front one or two fold back (depending on terrain) ten to fifteen meters behind the second tier, who as they pass, put up a good volume of fire.

As their magazine is empty, they fold back to the rear of those now in place, and your front keeps folding back. It will be wider or include more layers, depending on your numbers. Think about it and cover this before you head out.

With practice, you will work together like fingers on a hand.

If time and terrain permits, holes dug in an anticipated line of approach, covered carefully with straw/reeds and then topped with dirt or leaves to match can be dug. Inside the hold, sharpened sticks dipped in human waste, angled in toward the center of the hole will certainly sound a warning if one falls in.

Cover as you leave the position - no use hurting innocents or children by accident.

As you travel, if you see tall grasses with seeds atop, gather them as you pass. Scatter these seeds near your bivouac position and birds will come to feed. Anyone approaches, the birds will take wing, and you have your warning.

When terrain permits - always - ALWAYS travel with flankers. One only must study the Legions of Varus, or the Battle of LZ Albany for validation. (you would think that our own military would have learned something from those examples - but hell no.)

Attack where there is no defense. Defend where there is no attack. Sounds crazy, but this has dual meanings.

The most obvious meanings first. Don't fall for a feint. Everyone covers their own sector, and only moves or shifts on command. That which the enemy fails to defend is likely where your point attack will succeed.

The other meaning is how you work over your own plans. Do so from the enemy's standpoint. Try to find how you would attack yourself, and then make adjustments. One cannot defend all. To defend everything is to defend nothing. Use terrain, geographic features, streams, cliffs, treelines, and vegetation to enhance your defense.

For survival, that which is intuitive is counterproductive. That which is counterintuitive is productive. Linear is to be anticipated. Rapid, lateral and diagonal movement must become intuitive.

That which is counterintuitive is to win. Live. Survive. Combat intuition must be counterintuitive in substance. Counter-intuition must be learned. Counter-intuition must be practiced and learned until counterintuition becomes intuitive.

By careful movement and planning, you can detect, assess, anticipate, and adjust - a constant loop of activity.

Never rely solely on defense. The sword is more important than the shield as the shield will eventually splinter or defend the wrong side of a killing thrust. Skill and counterintuitive intuition are more important than either.

The attacker always maintains the initiative. A constantly mobile, moving group is harder to pin down. Never, ever when on the move, spend two meals in the same location.

Anything worth killing is worth killing twice. Dead is good. Deader is better.

In combat, anytime you aren't shooting, you should be reloading and finding something else to shoot. The faster you kill, the less shot you get.

If your shooting stance is really good, you're not moving fast enough, you've misjudged the critical nature of your situation, you're about to be flanked, your cover is insufficient, or you've already killed it. Move!

To survive, you have to be ruthless.

Be most ruthless with yourself first and always, reviewing your plans, practicing your arts and skills. Regardless of your plan, training, execution, or fatigue, there's always something left undone, one more thing to do.

Every time you get that addressed, look around. There's ALWAYS something else to do.

The most capable, decisive weapon in any arsenal is the mind. It's sitting right on top of your shoulders - USE IT!

Take no counsel of your fears. The emphasis is on COUNCIL of your fears. There will always be uncertainties; there will always be fears, but one cannot turn from his goals because of uncertainties and unknown variables.

Hesitation is ruin. Hesitation is cowardice. Cowardice is another word for prey. Prey is another word for dead.

Samuel Johnson said, "Courage is the greatest of all virtues. Because if you haven't any courage, you may not have the opportunity to use any of the others."

Win with abilities and thinking. Not numbers. You never, ever do the enemy a small injury.

Prepare for meeting your enemy. Every second. Every moment. Every day.

A surprise - anticipated - is never a surprise.

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your planning is piss-poor and your execution positively sucks.

There are no rules. Not in survival.

Never engage unless certain of winning. You pick the time, the place, the numbers, and the point of attack. To man a wall, a window, a trench, a roof, one must be exposed to something. Prepare and plan for that something.

Some fights are unwinnable. Don't even try it. Wait until you have the advantage. An elephant can be consumed by ants. One bite at a time.

"Given the same amount of intelligence, timidity will do a thousand times more damage than timidity." Clausewitz.

"The more comfort the less courage there is." Suvarov.

"Those things which your enemy perceives you to hold valuable, and in turn threaten to either harm or withhold, must be eliminated that you may destroy your enemies in turn without hesitation. Family, finance, peace, and even the comfort of habit are weaknesses your enemy can leverage against you to your defeat. Use his weaknesses to his defeat." Michael Riggs

Never be afraid to evacuate a planned, prepared position. This is why multiple caches must be made, why multiple escape routes must be planned, and why one must never hesitate when it comes time to go.

There will be a tomorrow.

You lose contact with your foe, look behind you.

Never fight to the enemy's strengths. You don't swordfight Zorro, footrace with the Flash, nor bicycle race against Lance Armstrong. You shoot Zorro at a distance, engage the Flash on glazed ice, and line up against Lance on a Harley.

If you can beat a man in his mind before you actually engage, instilling serious doubts and fears in his mind, then he is already half-beaten when you engage him. If he wants to engage at all.

If you find your attack is going exceedingly well, you probably just blundered into an ambush.

Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

If you are left with only one solution - it's always the stupid one.

Will add more as time goes on if anyone wants.

There can't be any prisoners. Prisoners will kill you.

Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for.

Wow this thread took an odd turn! I would be a bit concerned you guys, you are skirting rather close to some quite illegal content here in my opinion. Remember, anti-government violence is still considered terrorism right, we are still currently under the rule of law, and the person you talk to may well be looking to do something rather rash.

Just thought I'd offer that, best of luck all!

A violent revolution will not solve anything. Thousands will die. If not millions.

Due to the fact that this armed revolution would consist of a minority of Americans, they would be easily disposed of. By disposed of, I mean killed or imprisoned.

The government would then implement martial law. Police and military checkpoints would be established throughout your country. Surveillance would be magnified.

Those involved in this violent revolution would be classified as terrorists, and the majority of American citizens would be in agreement with that assessment.

Change will only come when the majority of Americans feel that it is necessary.

It will more than likely be accomplished through peaceful methods.

Your desire for bloodshed will make matters in your country worse.

Your desire for bloodshed will ensure that your country is plunged in to a state of chaos.

Your desire for bloodshed will ensure that an actual police state is instated.

Your desire for bloodshed will truly erode your freedoms and hasten the destruction of the U.S. constitution that you all hold so dear.

When the majority of American have had enough of the current political climate, you will not need violence to restore your nation to its former glory.

I can't agree more violence only begets more violence. Armed struggle should always only be a last resort, and only when all others are completely worn out.

Since most of you that are in on this NWO revolution bit seem to also be Christians, here's how it's laid out in your own God-inspired book:

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Matt, 5:9

Knowledge is NEVER illegal. Application of that knowledge resides with the applicator.

I never said it was anything illegal yet, just very close to the line. I'm just saying perhaps open forums on the internet with strangers is not the best place to be speaking about tactics to be used against governments. That sort of thing can land you in trouble and for good reason. We are at war in this country you know, and loose lips can still sink ships so to speak.

Looks like general survival tips to me, to be used against a general enemy, not specifically a government.

Governments have big 'splodey things, and lasers, and those awesome goggle thingys, and toy airplanes with missiles and eyes that see in funny wavelengths and stuff.

Now I can see how this stuff could work against gangstas, and those pesky militias and stuff.

AA,

I understand wholeheartedly why Americans are growing angry. People are losing their homes, and their jobs while international bankers are handed trillions of dollars. These alleged bailouts did nothing whatsoever to stimulate the US economy. It is truly disgusting. I certainly emphasize with those that are angry.

I still remain steadfast on my position that violence will not solve the current problems that America faces.

I will also reiterate that when enough Americans become fed up, violence will not be needed to bring about the positive change that you seek.

Much the same as the million man march through DC, if millions of Americans marched in to Washington demanding change, I'd imagine that the US government would be forced to oblige. If they refused, they would be turfed out on their behinds faster than you could say God Bless America.

On that note, I would like to offer my apologies for not taking the time to read the original post of this thread. However, I have read a fair amount of topics regarding the subject of revolution that seem to revolve around the advocacy of violence.

Look at what you just wrote there, see that's called a contradiction. Yes, there has been advocacy against the government on this very thread, that federal organizations are whom you will be fighting. On top of this, it's still terrorism to kill allied troops!

I mean you guys are quite free to write whatever you like on here, within the rules of the site of course, but think absolutely anyone can read this stuff. The second it goes from talk to action, that's very bad, very illegal and very morally disgusting.

I mean the fact that you people seem to want combat is absolutely counter to what I believe, and what I've heard every single military man I've ever known believes, about how soldiers should think of war. It's legal though, and I'd defend it, because it's your free speech. What happens if some nutter finds this and decides to act on it now? That would be quite bad for you boys if they name you as inspiration.

That's all I've really got to say on it, so I'll leave you to it, but I'm just saying use some common sense here people!

There's a difference between saying " Do this, this, and this, and DO IT RIGHT NOW!" and saying "If you were to get caught in this situation, THIS might be a good thing to do if you want to come out the other side of it alive."

Of course, if my dear old dad hadn't had this very sort of talk with me starting at an early age, I wouldn't be around to annoy you right now, I'd be fertilizing some of the loveliest daisies you ever saw.

There are just times when a man gets caught up in things not of his own making, that he'd prefer to be able to tell his grandchildren about.

These sorts of pointers facilitate that. These fellows may be saving lives, and here you are complaining about it.

For shame.
