SCOUT DEFENSE

SCOUT DEFENSE

 

Scout combatives are the synchronization of all weapons systems. Scout combatives are close-in survival defense against animals and humans. It is defense in overall objective but offensive in the execution of winning to live again. The ST must remain quiet when on a mission. This means any contact with the quarry and any collateral predatory circumstance from nature will be at close range. Effective, personal scout defense is required in the work of a government scout.
