I’ve been working with a group of veteran Special Forces, primarily Green Berets, who have been conducting a nationwide assessment of Combat Readiness throughout the civilian U.S. population.

It will be an extensive analysis of Americans who have been participating in tactical training courses, with a focus on their demographics and what their motivations for doing so are.

Some brief headline statistics - these numbers are estimations based on an extensive analysis:

48 million Americans are presently classified as “Combat Capable,” which means they own firearms and demonstrate the ability to handle them with moderate proficiency.
Approximately 30 million Americans own semi-automatic rifles, such as AR-15s.
14 million Americans are presently classified as “Combat Ready,” which means they consistently take part in tactical training courses, or do similar training, and demonstrate physical fitness and proficiency in handling firearms.

As opposed to what is portrayed in the mainstream media, civilians presently most active in training courses are very diverse in their demographics, and there is very little to zero motivation for “civil war” cited.

To be clear, the overwhelming majority of these people are law-abiding and family-oriented. They consistently cite the motivation of self-defense; most often citing the increase in crime and violence nationwide, the possibility of economic and societal collapse, fear of corrupt government overreach, harmful mandates and infringement of civil liberties.

The report I publish on Monday will go deeper into their motivations and demographics. This is work that will be featured in my forthcoming book, Confessions of a Freedom Fighter.

You can pre-order a limited edition first-run copy here.

* The first-run is limited to 500 copies. After half of them are pre-ordered, I will be doubling the price.

Enjoy your weekend,
