In the last entry I oriented you to our notional homestead and we dissected a threat based zone system along with identifying what/how the threat could move and observe in our immediate Area of Operations (AO). The zone system is going to come into play heavily during our defense planning and during this entry we’re going to dissect those zones a bit. Still no countermeasures yet but it’s coming soon, trust me. For right now we have to get a seriously in depth grasp on the makeup of our terrain.
Below I have zoomed in a bit and show our immediate zone system map. Remember Zone A is out to 50 meters, Zone B is out to 150 meters, and zone C is out to 400 meters. These are the zones that will garner my immediate attention. Why these zones? From 400 meters in is what I call “carbine country”. Simply put that is the range that common rifles firing intermediate caliber cartridges( ARs, AKs, etc) are accurate at with nominal training by the shooter (and yeah I know an AR can hit yada yadas yada – I’m referring to what the average shooter is capable of not some guy that has thousands of bucks invested in a rifle and training). From Zone C in is our “fighting zone” and more than likely the extent of our rifles range as well. As usual the stars depict currently inhabited homesteads. The green lines represent existing fence lines.
