I have no idea how it is now, but when I was active duty USMC (86-92) we PT'd every Mon/Wed/Fri and cleaned weapons every Thurs EVERY WEEK! The Friday PT would be a Battalion hump once a month.

I am up for that. Anyone in Raleigh Co want to meet and greet?

During the Vietnam War, the CIA conducted a counter-insurgency program called the Phoenix Program using US Special Forces and other resources. The idea was to target Viet Cong leadership within South Vietnam in order to hamper guerrilla operations against US and Allied forces. as I watch these ANTIFA/BLM interviews on tv, where their leadership is openly calling for violence and destruction within the US I think of things like this.

Anyone who agreed with my original post here should look up the definitions of "total war" and "Fabian strategy" and study them.

Robert Petersen Jr. , Thank you.

Agreed. There may well be a time for offensive operations, but if a group isn't properly prepared or trained, they have no hope of real or lasting success. My original post was intended to spur peoples thoughts into the direction of having a well prepared organization. If you have no defense, you will eventually have no offense.

I may be way off here, but I really don't think so. In my opinion our groups should not be focused on any kind of offensive operations or anything like that at this point. To many have a glorified view of making a big stand and being a low rent version of Rambo. I think any group should be focused on preps and organization with dividing up responsibilities so that no one individual has to bear the burden of breaking the bank to be ready. I personally feel that instead of trying to organize as an Infantry group, we would be better served to organize as a logistics group first. Identify

Austin Stanley, I see you last posted in March. Any progress developing a reliable group? I am in Beckley.

Beckley, WV USMC vet and VA DOC Strike Force (Western Region) US DCJS certified in riot control tactics, weapons, and restraints. Looking for like minded individuals in Raleigh Co to join or help create a group.
