DE-CLASSIFIED

     This manual is basic training for all American HomeGuard units. It teaches bayonet-on-rifle drills that can be easily adapted to the medieval pike or spear; as well as Hand-to-Hand combat with the bayonet as the long knife/short sword it truly is. These techniques can be used withor without the HomeGuard Shield and are intended for use by hastily raised civilian militia forced to defend their homes just as the British Home Guard did more than sixty years ago against a similar threat. These military methods have been tried and proven on the world's battlefields and can be taught to large or small unarmed groups in a short period of time. Either as a readiness exercises or deal with a very real and impending threat.
