    Two things you should know at all times are: Your Location: If you had to call for help do you know where you are? You should always be able to describe your location. While it may not be practical to know the numerical address of every place you go to (even though it’s [...]

    A useful tactic to learn and use is the “contact and cover” approach. Typically used in law enforcement, it can also be a useful civilian self-defense tactic when you are working with like minded individuals. “Contact and cover” is the approach used when dealing with a subject who is an unknown [...]

    Communications are vital in any tactical operation. Sometimes, due to the necessity for stealth or simply the need for quick signaling, operators need to use hand signals. There are many signals and many different signals for the same message depending on where you look. What ultimately matters is that everybody agrees [...]

    A fellow LEO over at Trigger Pull Tactical posted this piece titled, Are You A True Warrior? Webster’s dictionary describes a warrior as: “A person who shows or has shown great vigor, courage, or aggressiveness, as in politics or athletics.” I laugh as I type this because I just know some [...]

    “Aspire rather to be a hero than merely appear one.” -Baltasar Gracian “Heroism” or “warriorship” is in the DOING of something, not in the practice of something. You cant proclaim yourself a hero, others call you one for what you have done. I think Warriorship is much the same thing. [...]

    —the things worth believing in

    When conducting a deliberate, organized operation involving the co-ordination of many people with different tasks a useful tool is the “rally point”. The military definition for a “Rally Point” is: Rally Points: A rally point is a place where a patrol can reassemble and reorganize if dispersed during movement; or temporarily halt [...]

    A tactical fundamental is the perimeter. Whenever you are stopped, or if you are about to be engaged by a superior force, you need to find cover and concealment and circle the wagons to cover 360 degrees around you. By doing so, small units have been able to hold out against [...]

    A tool used in some tactical operations is the planning/implementation/use of what are called “phase lines”.

    Every once and a while, when I cycle through my “Warriorship Examination” phase, I like to resurrect this excellent article. Image via Wikipedia By: Ethan Gilsdorf Summary: From The Matrix to Harry Potter, heroic fantasy is hot stuff. These modern epics tap into our frustrated impulse to be 21st-century knights–and may even help [...]

    Alright, I have a moment to type. It would be a fairly accurate statement to say that when I created this blog it was with the intention of coalescing my thoughts about, and refining my definition of, “Warriorship”. While “Warriorship” is closely associated with the word “Warrior”, I am starting to come [...]

    A basic (very basic) skill is simple observation. If you are defending a position or simply making a deliberate move from one position to another you need to carefully evaluate your surroundings before moving out. A simple yet effective method takes 2 steps: * Step 1. Make a quick, overall search [...]

    Image via Wikipedia I typically avoid political issues here, but the recent turn of events in our Congress leaves me concerned. If passed, this new health care legislation would be a major shift towards the government assuming more power than I believe the Constitution allows. While I do believe that our [...]
