Third Brigade, Georgia State Defense Force.  Not the U.S. National Guard, but the legally constituted, modern day equivalent of the Colonial/Revolutionary era militia.  The Area of Operation for the brigade (St. Mary’s, Savannah, and Augusta) is roughly the same as the original settled areas of the state, including Wilkes County.

The Army’s General Dennis J. Reimer Training and Doctrine Digital Library, an electronic “library without walls.”  The Library is the single repository of approved Army training and doctrine information.  This has absolutely nothing to do with reenacting, but it is nice to know that the preferred method of clearing a building entry in an unsecured urban area is the use of a tank round fired through the front door.  All kinds of current military manuals and training materials.
