This summary report on the British Home Guard concludes that the force was just as vital and an important arm of the total defense of any country as any of the other forces, such as the Army and Navy and the Civil Defence Forces. The Home Guard was composed of volunteers who carried on civilian jobs and also were active in the defense of their country. The document contains an introduction detailing history of a need for a force like the British Home Guard, a section on tactics and training, law and organization, and the pitfalls of the force.
