In the video below, S2 Underground talks about the military practice of Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace. This is an analytical process for providing verified information in order to plan and execute operations. If you are familiar with Forward Observer‘s Area Study classes and videos, then you know that Forward Observer has adapted these military practices to civilian intelligence for preparedness and SHTF operations.
S2’s video is a high level overview of the IPB process, but you should be able to glean some ideas on how it would apply to civilian preparedness.If not, then maybe it is helpful to think about operational environment as your block, neighborhood, or town. Threats could be drug cartels, foreign armies, hurricanes, EMP, or power outages. And then you can decide your worst case scenarios from there.
Here is the latest intelligence update from S2 Underground.

Just a few reminders for everyone who’s just become aware of us, in order to keep these briefings from being several hours long, we can’t cover everything. We’re probably covering 1% of the world events when we conduct these briefings, so please remember that if we left it out, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s unimportant. Also, remember that we do these briefings quite often, so we might have covered an issue previously that you might not see if you are only watching our most recent videos. We’re also doing this in our spare time, so again we fully admit that these briefings aren’t even close to being perfect; we’re going for a healthy blend of speed and quality. If we were to wait and only post a brief when it’s “perfect” we would never post anything at all. So expect some minor errors on the slides here and there. If there is a major error or correction that needs to be made, we will post it here in the description, and verbally address it in the next briefing, whenever that is. We do not have a set schedule for when these videos are published…when we get enough info that we think is worth it, we brief it. If we were bound to a schedule we would be obligated to provide fluff for the days where there isn’t anything worth commenting on. Also, thanks for reading this far. It is always surprising the number of people that don’t actually read the description box to find more information.

The S2 Underground provides an intelligence update on goings on around the US.

Intelligence analyst Mike Shelby of Forward Observer talks about preparation in his latest livestream and why 98-99% of even preppers are unprepared:
Mike says that America as we know it today is ending. The Layer one solutions below will get you through the short term, but for longer term sustainment, you must work on your layer two solutions:

The following in the June 16 intelligence update from S2 Underground. It discusses food and fuel shortages, and recent US government actions on body armor and gun control among other topics.
Further to what S2 Underground mentions in the video above about Congressional testimony related to diesel fuel and DEF, below is a portion of that with a video of eight minutes of the testimony of the Pilot/Flying J CEO on diesel and DEF concerns.

Here are three short videos from intelligence analyst Sam Culper of Forward Observer and Gray Zone Activity. In the first video, Sam discusses the USA as a “gray zone” — an area where foreign countries intervene and propagandize to undermine US power.
