In Central Florida, a group of ten civilian men gathered to learn advanced marksmanship techniques typically used by Special Operation forces. Led by Air Force veteran Christopher Eric Roscher, the course aimed to prepare participants for various crises, from natural disasters to potential conflicts with tyrannical forces. This trend highlights a growing number of Americans, not traditionally associated with military culture, who are adopting preparedness mindsets amidst increasing global uncertainty. These individuals represent a shift toward mainstream preparedness, attracting various demographic groups and being supported by businesses catering to their needs.
In a world shaped by war, a pandemic and extreme weather, more Americans are getting ready for crisis... to fight a tyrannical government, repel an invading army or respond to a natural disaster.
The class's title Full Contender Minuteman even referred to the civilians turned soldiers of the American Revolution.
They were mostly civilians, including two pilots, a nurse and a construction company executive, indicating a shift from traditional military demographics.
Rather than being part of more fringe prepper culture, they are growing more mainstream, catered to by companies ready to offer them the tools and training.
