In times of disaster, both natural and man-made, sometimes law enforcement becomes ineffective. When this happens, it is up to the citizens to provide for their own defense. In Colonial America, this was done by a Minuteman Company, an early quick reaction force (QRF) of neighbors who could respond to any attacks by bandits or Indians at a minutes notice.
This class will teach you how to set up a modern version of a Minuteman Company. By the end of this course you will have the confidence and skill necessary to shoot, move, and communicate alongside other Minutemen.
