Civ Div, 2024 ▶ How to SURVIVE in War

War is rough, I have never been in war but one day I might be whether I like it or not. better to be prepared than not prepared.

Tldr

1. utilize small recon teams before an assault
2. basic training (can be learned in 2-3 months, cross-train once active)
3. Discipline

You Will be hit sooner or later, be prepared to treat wounds.

Primary points

1. utilize small recon teams before an assault
   1. wont trigger strong response
   2. wont trigger build up of forces expecting a large attack
2. basic training & cross training (can be learned in 2-3 months)
   1. know the weapons systems and how they work
   2. know the mission before going on it to maintain momentum
   3. dispersion - don’t clump up, avoid mass casualty events
   4. camouflage
   5. Go Prone - make yourself a smaller target
   6. communication
3. NCO Corps
   1. complacency is the biggest threat
   2. discipline to follow the basic training

Notes

• 90% luck 🍀
• Faraday bags as a dump pouch
• Medical supplies & training to use them (You WILL get hit eventually)
• changing patrol rountes often if possible
• avoid TRPs target reference points
  • much quicker to say bomb that intersection vs bomb these gps points
• good camo is crucial
• avoid detection by drones
• Crosstrain! everyone should learn how to do each role

Small arms

• wear a plate carrier if possible
  • face the enemy while firing
• GO PRONE - make yourself a smaller target
• always be looking for cover
  • even micro terrain like divots in the ground can make a difference
• suppression
  • RTR = return fire, take cover, return accurate fire

Explosives

• soft armor under plate armor helps
• pelvic armor
  • pelvis bones
  • main arteries
• Kevlar helmets
  • not for rifle rounds
  • good for shrapnel
• dispersion prevents mass casualty events
• GO PRONE - many explosives explode upwards
• go underground
  • basements
  • trenches
  • dugouts
  • etc

Sound indications

• incoming vs outgoing
• much of this has to be learned in the battlefield unfortunately

Drones

• plate Armor
• blanket door for bunker or even wire mesh
• jamming guns and backbacks
• work with Large jammer
• go underground
• avoid detection
• shotguns/drone guards
  • if a drone is heard, everyone goes prone and the drone guard in camo responds with a shotgun

Mines

• mine clearing vehicles & equipment
• Ranger file
  • walking in a straight line only one person is hit by the mine hypothetically
• avoid ambushes
• signalling structures
• take the path of MOST resistance, if they dont think anyone would go that way why would they put mines there?
• Mark the mines on a map or gps
  • ask commander if theres mines in an area before heading out for patrol etc
• Dispersion: avoid clumping up to avoid mass casualty events

Aircraft

• stay away from valuable targets
• dispersion
• cammofloge
• stay on ground floor
• dont give up info indirectly like tossing cig butts on patrol now they know you patrol this area

Tanks/BMPs

• dispersion
• go underground
• crosstrain
