Defensive Strategy

  • Study recent military conflicts without glorifying war, focusing strictly on the material factors behind success and failure.
  • Cheap and plentiful consumer-grade drones have become the largest cause of battlefield casualties; countermeasures may become critical, depending on your position in the crisis continuum.
  • Successful defensive strategies spread out resources, use earth-bermed or semi-subterranean structures, and manage the group's profile.
  • Going at least partially underground offers dual wins: protection and low-cost thermal regulation against extreme heat.
  • Deterrence comes from visible competence and organization, rather than posturing.
  • Security should control the narrative and terrain in a high-threat scenario, but offensive conquest is always off the table.
