S2 Underground: Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace

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.

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.

Out Front: You Are Not Prepared

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:

S2 Underground: June 25 Intel Update

S2 Underground June Intel Update

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.

Forward Observer: Daily SA – War in Ukraine

In the video below, intelligence analysts at Forward Observer in their daily situational awareness video discuss activity in the Ukraine war as well as some domestic moves to increase social media platform control over discussions.

Intelligence analyst Sam Culper of Forward Observer discusses Historical Cycles – Mathematical Models & the End of the American Empire

Forward Observer: NFAC IS BACK! Plus another Bitcoin rant because the USD is DOOMED

Intelligence analyst Sam Culper has another video about NFAC, Bitcoin and with called in questions.

Three from Forward Observer

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.

Forward Observer: Why the Battlefield Is Everywhere

Intelligence analyst Sam Culper of Forward Observer talks about China and cyber warfare in Why the Battlefield Is Everywhere.

Good morning. It’s Sam Culper with this week’s Forward Observer Dispatch.

Last week, I wrote about the reasons why conflict is virtually certain to escalate with China, leading to either a shooting war or a financial, monetary, and cyber conflict, which could lead to a shooting war. The history lesson is that monetary wars lead to military wars.

Either way, this is going to be a messy 10-20 years.

I’m picking my way through another chapter of Unrestricted Warfare, the 1999 essay/manual written by two People’s Liberation Army officers.

I want to share a key takeaway from the chapter:

The authors discuss how technology is changing the nature of warfare, from a “line” to an “area” and eventually to the entire world. Here’s the money quote:

“Just think, if it’s even possible to start a war in a computer room or a stock exchange that will send an enemy country to its doom, then is there [a] non-battlespace anywhere?”

“Where is the battlefield?” the authors ask. “The answer would be: Everywhere.”

The authors go on to write that, in light of this, the future protagonist of war is not the professional soldier, but the hacker.

This is exactly the kind of mindset and activity we’re seeing today, re: Chinese hacking campaigns.

At some point in the next four years, perhaps coinciding with the 2024 election, the U.S. could be forced to decide and act on going to war with China over Taiwan. I’m not advocating for or against it, but simply pointing out that a decision will be made.

This is one reason why Trump tried to pull U.S. Forces from the ends of the Earth.

Chinese military leaders privately say they’re within two years of being able to invade Taiwan.

The commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command is requesting missiles be deployed to Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines to counteract what he describes as a shifting balance of military power that has become “more unfavorable” for the United States.

I want to encourage you, if haven’t already, to consider how prepared you are for systems disruption. If we go to war with China, we’re going to feel the effects here at home: disruptions to power, internet, communications, transportation, the stock market and financial services, etc.

According to Unrestricted Warfare, the key to beating the United States is to make them prioritize self-preservation ahead of geopolitical goals. Prepare accordingly.

Always Out Front,

Samuel Culper

Forward Observer: Q&A Video

Intelligence analyst Sam Culper of Forward Observer has another Q & A video. This is a recording of a live stream with live questions texted in, so there is some less useful stuff, but also some good nuggets of information.
