2.) To prepare any eligible citizen, our members, our families, and our communities to survive any natural or man-made disaster, any war or conflict, and defend ourselves and our property against any aggression, assault, unlawful seizure or theft by any entity. Training will not be limited to but may include: U.S. Army basic and advanced infantry skills, marksmanship, firearm safety, first aid, radio communications, orienteering, search and rescue, long term food storage, water treatment, food production, animal husbandry, homesteading skills and physical fitness. To organize our communities and our members into groups of like-minded citizens for their benefit.

To always advance the cause of liberty and the founders’ principles as stated in The Declaration of Independence, The U.S. Constitution and The Bill of Rights. To preserve and defend the natural rights granted to us by The Creator.
