Defensive Operations discusses ways in which to secure your property, neighborhood, campsite, or compound in a "Without Rule of Law" situation. This Volume of the Tactical Wisdom Series covers the skills and knowledge to conduct local security operations either for an individual location or for a community. The book focuses on protecting your people, supplies, and properties in an environment where help may not be coming.
This Volume builds on the gear and organization developed in Volume 1, Baseline Training Manual, and the individual & team skills learned in Volume 2, Fieldcraft, to begin true defensive operations to maintain our self-sufficiency.
There is, like nearly all books like this, a heavy dependence on military doctrines and tactics. Mostly, that's a good thing, but there are significant misses when applied to civilian applications and even more nuances for events that may be extreme but temporary. This book does provide a better analysis and better advice regarding that than most others I've read. It also gives clear directions and how to instructions without simply copying text from an FM that many people won't understand. I also find the references from the Bible and Havamal a unique and interesting tact - really well done.
