THE TRUE MEANING OF SECURITY...
Will the world end, as we know it? Or will people, as they always have, merely continue on under a different cloak? Dozens of advanced civilizations have fallen by the wayside and, yet, larger and more powerful nations have risen in their place. If your community, state, or country ceased to exist, would life end for you? Or would you simply live on, perhaps, under a different cloak of your own? Much depends upon how you term "survival" and how well you prepare for any contingency.
Often ignored by both survivalists and preppers rests the concept of security - the reduction of risk and uncertainty within life. Security takes on two distinct flavors:
Protection: Passive activities undertaken to provide care and comfort to persons or properties that may find themselves under potential threat from artificial or natural crises.
Defense: Active measures undertaken to deter or respond to threats (primarily human) targeting persons or properties under one's care.
INDEPENDENT FORCE PROTECTION serves to introduce these concepts to preppers and how best to apply them within his or her survival plan. It offers the reader a chance to discover security, rather than force them to accept measures beyond his or her needs. Security, therefore, represents the basis for success and, in turn, success rests as the rationale for survival.
