Tactical hand signals allow military, police, and SWAT teams to carry out their objectives without giving away their position or intentions to the enemy.

In the same way, you can make use of these hand signals in a post-SHTF situation when you don't want intruders to hear that you are surrounding them or are escaping the area. Watch the video below to learn more.

Watching a video isn't really enough to become fully prepared. Just like with other emergency scenarios, these techniques should be practiced repeatedly, at least once per month so that everyone in your group is prepared for the worst.

Practicing these lessons will not only enable you to become more adept at communicating when SHTF, it will also help you to learn what signals your team needs the most work on.
