Surviving an Invasion

When it comes time for you to have to survive an invasion, there are basic things that you must do. No matter if it is an invasion by another country or an alien invasion you must remain calm and procure the basic necessities for survival. Food, water, shelter, and other necessities will be a must during this time. Obtaining weapons and other supplies such as medicine and luxury items like sweet cakes, cigarettes, and alcohol will also be important. You may not have had the chance to do this before hand. During any kind of invasion, one of the keys to remaining safe is to remain unnoticed. This means you have to be vigilant keeping an eye out for the invaders. By setting booby traps that notify you of people coming ahead of time you can help to prepare yourself an escape route and get away being undetected. By stocking up on as many supplies as you possibly can, you will avoid having to make numerous trips out into the open risking being exposed or caught.

​

During any type of invasion situation, it is not advisable to stay in one place for too long as the odds of you getting caught increase. By having the ability to be mobile and having what is known as a bug out plan in place, you can be better prepared to survive this situation. During an invasion no matter what the circumstances many people find shelter and safety by going underground. In cities, there are advanced systems of drainage tunnels and subway lines that will facilitate this while in mountainous regions there are caves and underground caverns that run for miles. Familiarizing yourself with either of these if you live in these areas is a great idea.

 

I am a grumpy old man and I don't presume to survive an invasion alien or otherwise!
My only real aim will be to make the enemy die for there cause!
The more I can send to there maker before I fail the better!
I won't be trying to die so suicide in any form is out for me but
to fight and run away so you can fight again sounds good!

I usually thrive in a target rich environment

 

Invasions I really want to go underground, like deep underground. It may sound bad but in a cemetery.
They wont think to look there, dead are buried and of no interest to them. Go underground. It would take so long to dig and build a shelter.
I helped my grandad build one and it took all summer, but the good thing is you can use the old campershells of trucks.
It is just a thought on the whole matter.
Staying still yes is dangerous but so is moving around. Finding a spot that you know is safe is smart.

 

I would not do anything to draw attention, I would stay out of cities and towns. I live in a town with less than 100 people but at the same time I have seen "Red Dawn" getting invaded in a small town is likely because they could stay off the map and at the same time develop a strong base.
There are so many factors. They survived in that movie by staying in the woods.

 

With todays tech you just can't hide! not for long anyway!

I have a long heritage to uphold and I will do my best!

 

This is a movie I am going to have to look into. I love movies like these because no matter what they give you some good ideas and things to go off of.
I know red dawn taught me a lot, taught me not to really trust anyone.
Also we need to understand that invasion is something we look at because we are a lot of countries enemies. Something to always keep in mind.
Friends are friends until they have someone they love then they could be a liability.

 

I know many americans and they are quite likable but the USA as a whole is evil!
We here in Australia get swamped with Americanisms all day every day!
It erodes our culture
Everything American is great! The American way or the highway!
A little of that stuff is ok but being bombarded all day everyday sucks and irritates me no end!

yep the USA has made many enemies all around the world, not because they are bad but because they are arrogant! they as in government not individuals!
It is like there push for regeme changes around the world!
Democracy is something one search's for and embraces! Not something forcibly delivered to you via the barrel of a gun, dropped from the sky or the application of sanctions!
Yet the USA persists with this evil time and time again!

Rant off
I feel better now

 

Kind of like relgion, you cant force it down peoples throat.
Let them make their own decision if they dont want to see it your way okay, let them be. Like seriously that is why we are targets because we have that mentality and then if you push something hard enough and make another country uncomfortable with your presence and dont get out they are going to come over here and draw our attention away from their land and back to our home land. Like this war on terrorism and being over in the middle East for as long as we have been that is why they are here, we are there. Well that is my opinion I could be wrong and blind but that is what I have though for a long time.

 

Invaders will probably move through an area killing everyone they can and taking prisoners if they want to. If you can find a good hiding place it's possible that after a week or two the soldiers, mercenaries or whoever it was will leave. You could after a week or two come out of hiding and either leave or find a safer place that will be your temporary residence.

 

No country on earth has the capability to invade and occupy the USA as it is!
It would need to be destroyed from afar first and then its remains invaded!

 

Most every countries fates are dependant on the fate of the USA !

Once the USA falls in a heap for whatever reason all the little bully boys and girls will come out to play
Everyone with an issue will have a go !

 

Okay, Kids, old time soldier here. There are a number of options in any military confrontation. In any invasion scenario there will always be guerilla actions which will be supported by friendly outside governments. Any time Great Britain gets into a fight, the U.S. normally backs its plays. When G.B. danced with Argentina during the Falklands fight, G.B. airplanes needed refueling to get from their nation to hit airfields in the Falklands. Trouble was that G.B. didn't have the refueling airplanes that they needed. The U.S. very, very quietly slipped a couple of KC-135 tanker jets from Europeans bases to G.B. airfields at Gibraltar and painted them in U.K. national colors. If G.B. were to ever be invaded the U.S., Canada, Australia and other nations would be shipping help to support guerilla forces along with U.S. Army Special Forces troopers and Australian SAS troopers to assist as well.

For your own personal kit, you need to consider exactly what you plan to do to help defend your nation or area of operations. Having been in combat, I plan to do like I did in Viet Nam: move light, fast and do recon type missions to gather as much information as I can on any possible enemy bases, activities and so on. I will collect the information, write it down in my own kind of code that I can decipher and when I get to some place or person who can use my information I'll give it all to them. I will very carefully pick and choose my fights. I don't want to try to shoot everything that wears an enemy uniform because I probably won't have enough ammo. I will, however, want to take out key enemy leaders, vehicles and so on. Speed is not your goal, accuracy is. Get it right, strike and move out of the area long before the enemy can identify you, your force or where you went. Keep in mind that with the new electronic sight systems, you can be seen from 5 miles away, sighted in on and engaged before you know you're dead. Go to YouTube and listen to U.S. and Allied Forces helicopter pilots and they engage enemy guerilla soldiers planting IED explosive charges along the roads. There is one video where a reference of 5 miles is mentioned as they engage a number of the enemy soldiers with missiles of some sort. Keep in mind that the same thing could happen to you but from a different perspective if you are not careful.

 

Prior to WW2 FDR (President Roosevelt) was doing everything that he could do legally, short of declaring war, to help out Great Britain any way that he could. Once the Japanese attacked our fleet and Pearl Harbor then all the bets were off and we openly allied ourselves with Great Britain for the rest of the war. We worked to help supply the British with old destroyers, our NRA did gun drives so that American civilians would give up their private guns to help arm the British Home Guard prior to us joining in the war. We shipped Britain fighter airplanes of all kinds. When some nation (Poland?) fell to Axis invasion forces, we shipped their Curtis P-40 Warhawks to Great Britain. So the USA and the UK have been in cahoots (Lend Lease Program, anybody?) a lot more than most average people understand or think. In fact, there was this ONE incident in Viet Nam where a British SAS officer ended up in charge of a beleaguered compound of American, British, Australian and South Vietnamese soldiers. Not many people know about that one. I've only seen one report about that incident but it read like a fascinating battle stand. It sort of reminded me of the movie "55 Days at Peking."
