This is a multi-part article and I will update this post as the other part become accessible over the next five days.
[EDIT] All five parts are now posted, below
The author gives this definition to help you keep perspective:
Patrolling Defined For the purpose of this discussion, I define patrolling as “a planned and organized movement through a demarcated area of operations with defined goals and objectives”. Note that patrolling differs from other activities, such as a hunting trip or running down to the stream to catch some fish, in that it tends to be longer in duration, have a broader set of goals, and involves more structured planning and preparation.
For those who are put-off by military (or paramilitary) terminology and tactics, please make an attempt to interpret this article as a necessary part of life in a post-event world.
Think of "Patrolling" as situational awareness and keeping any eye on what is happening in and around your location. You
will want to do your own "inspections and walk-arounds" no matter what your opinion on the terminology used to describe it.
Because the military has both the experience and the practice of Patrolling locked into their training, it behooves you to at least read this article. If you are so inclined, incorporate these methods into your own prepper planning and group plans.
