The Professional Citizen Project Manual 1

The audience for the Professional Citizen series of references is the "typical" Mom, Dad, son, or daughter who wants to learn more about self-reliance, readiness, prepping, and small unit tactics. These are NOT re-titled, re-covered, or re-written Army manuals. These are a fresh concept for the community, taking existing doctrine and best practices from prepping, outdoor, and military professionals and presenting the content in an easy-to-understand way. This book, the CM-1, is the starting point. Read the CM-1 first, then the CM-5 manual (Land Navigation) to build your foundational skills and continue the series with the other books. If you are brand new to this whole thing start with the CM-4, Teenage Prepper (it is not only for teens, anyone just starting out will benefit greatly from it). Mastering the tasks in CM-1 builds a foundation for you to continue to develop and train more complex skillsets or can assist in sharpening your approach as a seasoned tactician or prepper. Understand that this manual is just a starting point that provides some of the necessary foundational competences to build upon with the skills and tasks contained in the other Professional Citizen series manuals and guides.CM-1 covers the basics; it includes proven tactical and technical skills including the contextual fundamentals of shooting, moving dismounted alone and in a tactical formation, communicating, and surviving in a modern unconventional environment. Approaches to training, gear selection, firearm selection, land navigation, terrain analysis, and foundational survival concepts and principles are all included in the CM-1.
