The Tactical Wisdom Serise
The Tactical Wisdom serise of books is the condensed knowledge of many generations of war fighters and survivors. Author Joe Dolio provides a concise and easy to understand breakdown of countless bits of knowledge.
Joe is also a standing member of the Council on Future Conflict channel.
The Base Line Training Manual is the starting block of preparedness. The book details the basic steps to prepare yourself and your family to survive a Without Rule of Law Situation. The manual covers basic supply needs, preparing emergency kits, communications, fitness, and basic preparedness skills.
Fieldcraft is defined as those skills needed to move, live, operate, and fight (if necessary) in the field. They are the necessary skills to move and live safely in a Without Rule of Law Situation. These skills are geared toward avoiding contact with any potentially dangerous people or situations, in a time when help may not be coming. This book contains the skills needed to move, navigate, establish a base camp, and develop information in any preparedness situation. Field sanitation, an often overlooked aspect, is covered in depth for the protection of your health, when there will be no doctors. This book lists the training standards and techniques that your family or preparedness group should meet, to be fully prepared. It is designed to be a field training manual and a permanent reference, as a complement to Volume 1, the Base Line Training Manual.
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.
This Volume of the Tactical Wisdom series will help you develop skills in the area of Scouting and Patrolling. These are the skills to get out into the area around you and find out what is happening, while remaining undetected in a Without Rule of Law situation. We can’t just sit in our houses and hope no one comes along; we must get out and see who is around us. Also, should bad things begin to happen in your area, this book gives you the skills to make a stand away from your home base and take the fight to the hostile groups, before they come knocking on your door. We don’t ever want to use these skills, but we need them in our toolbox.
This Tactical Wisdom Companion is designed as a planning guide to organize your preparedness.
Using the guidance on team organization in TW-01, the observation planning guidance in TW-02, and the defensive planning guidance in TW-03, this Contact & Notes Volume will give you a place and formats to plan for your mutual assistance group.
Inside are contact pages and team planning pages to organize your group. There are notebook pages and dot grid pages for sketching ideas or observations. There are even a few Standard Range Card pages for planning your defense. The book also contains a handy quick reference section with acronyms and radio frequency charts.
This Volume is not just for leaders, but for every member of your group to stay organized.
