In the preparedness and armed readiness communities, we have seen widespread focus surrounding infantry tactics and conventional fighting doctrines. This has led to the many community leaders making reading and resource recomendations. US Army books and field manuals like the Ranger Handbook and FM 7-8 have become popular and are often among reading lists and recomendations for research and reference. This is great, but these books are intended for a very specific military audience and while they are full of fantastic information, it can be very difficult to navigate the nuance and translate the jargon.
This episode is the first in a series of episodes where Stephen and Jacob will break down and explain US Army "Battle Drills" found in Field Manual 3-21.8 (7-8). This first episode in the series gets into the history of battle drills and outlines the important combat lessons learned throughout US conflicts. This series seeks to provide a more detailed explaination of Battle Drills and wade through some of the obscure information and bridge the gap between US military fundamentals and the modern minuteman.

After the historic assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump, questionable details sourrounding the situation and security failures became immediately apparent. What at this point seems to be a completely avoidable tragedy has led to several injured including Donald Trump as well as an innocent bystander being killed. There are many questions and very little answers surrounding what took place July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania, but it is clear that this shouldn't have been able to happen.
In this episode, Jacob and Stephen breakdown the situation from start to finish and provide some of their own opinions on what they think took place. Neither Jacob or Stephen have any professional PSD background experience but bring their critiques from a position of basic tactics / security doctrine based on their former militray experience. They also approach this breakdown from a position of simple common sense which everyone has a right to apply when discussing a past situation. Common sense alone if applied would have prevented this whole terrible event.

Its more important now than ever for men to step into their roles as responsible protectors, providers, and leaders. Modern society tries to tear men down and undermine them, but this should be countered by strong men who are willing to stand up for what is right and live a more selfless life. Being a strong, disciplened, and unwaivering man is essential for having success in any other aspect of the modern minuteman mission.
In this episode, Jacob and Stephen get the special opportunity to sit down with their Father, Michael Barlow to discuss what it means to be a good man as well has a husband and father. This episode is very different than others, but highlights the importance of starting with the right foundation and being what is needed in a society that is so lost and confused.
