Clint Emerson & H Keith Melton 
Navy SEAL’s Guide to Surviving Invasions, Civil War, and World War III 

The phrase ‘The British are coming’ is attributed to Paul Revere, a colonial Boston silversmith and patriot who was among several riders who sounded the alarm that the British Regulars were coming to attack the American colonies. On the night of April 18, 1775, Revere and William Dawes set out on horseback from Boston to warn the colonists that the British were planning to march on Concord to seize American military supplies. Revere rode through the countryside, waking sleeping towns and farms, and shouting his famous warning, ‘The British are coming! The British are coming!’ remains an iconic symbol of American rebellion and a war cry to all American citizen soldiers.
 
Citizen Soldiers defend themselves and their homeland against a numerically superior and better-armed invading force or host governments and dictatorships gone crazy. While they might be outgunned in larger battles, Citizen Soldiers can create an advantage over the invaders[ce1] [HM2]  in smaller encounters with an intimate knowledge of the countryside, time to prepare defenses, and support from the local population.
 
The most critical mindset for a Citizen Soldier is preparation and relentless awareness of the threats to his homeland. Today’s civilian is tomorrow’s Citizen Soldier[ce3] [HM4] , and you can begin training to learn the necessary skills. From marksmanship to fieldcraft, camouflage, disguise, covert communications, cyber safety, escape routes, navigation, etc., the time to start learning is now.

 [ce1]We should include both invaders or host governments gone bad so we appeal to the south American countries… maybe round our verbiage to Adversaries / Governments…
 [HM2]Great point… I added to the text.
 [ce3]Great BLUF
 [HM4]Thank you
