Generally, we're trained to shoot, only when we've identified where the enemy is... Failure to hold fire before enemy is identified, results in civilians getting hit unintentionally... In addition, if you don't know where the enemy is, you're just wasting ammo, and you only carry so much...

And you might have an advantage if the enemy can't hear where you are until you are in a decent position. Shooting at nothing will let the enemy know to some extent where you are before you engage them, as well as potentially what sort of weaponry and man power you have. A small group of terrorists fighting a small detachment of soldiers may stay and fight if they have good positioning and a drop, however if they start hearing more heavy firepower around them, they might bug out. Sure the threat may disappear, but instead of neutralizing the threat, those terrorists live to fight another day instead of being taken out if they held their position unknowing that they were out numbered and out gunned by one or two other military detachments and troops were able to properly flank them unnoticed.

Then enemy knew to keep their distance and have avenues of escape, you usually couldn't see individuals shooting at you, you just knew the basic location and would concentrate fire at those areas until they ran away or stopped shooting. There's no hit markers in real life so you have no idea if you hit a guy or not, its only after when you advance to the area and find bodies do you know. Although the enemy would recover their dead so getting exact numbers is always hard.

Rulers of engagement may dictate firing only at active valid targets in order to limit civilian casualties. Also if you are on a long patrol firing blind expends ammo that may be limited with no way to resupply and so must be conserved.

@westenicho

4 жыл бұрын

ROE always calls for firing at active enemy personnel, it's not like you're out there to shoot tin cans. In OSUT and throughout infantry training you are taught to acquire targets ASAP and call out your "3 D's" (distance, direction, description) for the rest of your squad or platoon so they can immediately take cover and return fire. You don't fire "blind" without knowing where the enemy generally is. The longer you take to acquire your target, the more vulnerable everyone is, but as soon as the enemy contingent is found you can expect your gunner to go cyclic and your fire team to lay down heavy fire to maneuver. It is absolutely not doctrine to be conservative with ammo at the beginning of an engagement-people will die that way. We have firing commands that squad leaders and platoon sgts will give out to let you know how much you should be expending.

Playing hero like that will get you killed and is not worth the risk of getting some ranged kills that are not even highly likely to happen. However i would like additional infos, its kinda hard to judge. Possible that enemy behind was advancing and they had to push that side of hill, so he took attention - his mates get rid of em and so fasten up a secured movement of the squad?

The guy in the second video ( I suppose) is going out to draw the enemy fire. He did this because his squad couldn't move and was pinned down, I believe he was shot 4 times and they all got the body armor he was wearing and he survived.

although as we see in this video there is a war going on in afgan/iraq despite this the civilians are still very present doing there jobs ex farming so while the risk of hitting a civilian is low due to them usually hiding before firefights evan start but its still a risk so certain areas within afgan/iraq require different rules of engagement

Thanks for being humble brother. We appreciate your truth.

I want to say to you, that I really enjoy your video's. I was turned away from the military due to health conditions, but never surrendered my appreciation for what our soldiers do. I could have been out there with them, and sometimes very much regret that I couldn't be. I study military tactics, battlefield strategies going back hundreds of years, and appreciate your analysis of situations these heroes go though, thank you, and thank you for your service to your country as well, let's all play a part in keeping on the good side of what makes this planet a wonderful place to live. As far as I'm concerned, we are all one, willing to give, and sacrifice for the betterment of humanity. Keep the videos coming, good man!

I don’t think his move was stupid. Most of the time the enemy waits until we’re in a position of zero cover. His fastest and smartest move was to go down hill. Because it’s always harder to go up hill. Besides he was pretty far down the hill, so either way his nearest cover was down hill.

@jovonn8303

obv i wasnt there and didnt get a good layout of the land due to the camera perspective but where was his squad while he was moving down? i assume they all were in cover of some sort. if you look to his right at the start of the video you can see a big rock formation. now unless there is something that would make it such that he got there slower than getting ALL the way down that hill to get behind that structure. i dont see why he wouldnt advance towards the rock formation. 1. its equal to farther distance from the people shooting at you while you have no cover. so you are not advancing while having no cover. 2. the rock formation is shorter distance when you are being fired at with no cover your first objective should be to get behind cover.

in the original video if you look at the desc. it'll say he was taking fire from the enemy so that his squad could get away. here's what it says: No rounds penetrated his body armor, and he made it home with no permanent injuries. This happened in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. *READ* From the cameraman: " I got a hit a total of 4 times. My helmet cam died and i made it down the mountain on my own. I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off of my face. We were doing overwatch on the village to recon and gather intel. I was point heading down the face of the hill with the LT. when we got hit. the rest of the squad was pinned down by machine gun fire. I didn't start the video until a few mins into the firefight for obvious reasons. I came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety." "A round struck the tube by my hand of the 203 grenade launcher which knocked it out of my hands. When I picked the rifle back up it was still functional but the grenade launcher tube had a nice sized 7.62 cal bullet hole in it and was rendered useless.

@JJAMES Bad or inappropriate training is a thing. Early on in the war, this sort of thing was said to be standard procedure. However, the previous wars fought were done with thousands of men in a small area. This type of tactic is when you advance with a hundred other men to protect thousands. This is one man trying to protect a dozen. Early on in Afghanistan and Iraq, a lot of very small units were nearly wiped out because they were told to engage thousands of enemies while being less than 100. The training is very different now. Everything is different.

In the second one he was taking fire so his squad could get into cover.

This is the statement from the soldier I got from Flunkers channel. "I got a hit a total of 4 times. My helmet cam died and i made it down the mountain on my own. I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off of my face. We were doing over watch on the village to recon and gather Intel.

I didn't start the video until a few mins into the firefight for obvious reasons. I came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety." They were ambushed when they were already going down the hill. He was point man.

Phantom Forces players be like: **Hears gunfire. Run Towards the enemy**

In that last video he knew what he was going into, he was trying to get the enemys attention for a retreat because his squad was pinned down. Cant remember think he got hit 3 times

Prior to my playing the game Crusader Kings 2, I had never heard of Estonia. Since seeing your channel for the first time, I played a game as Estonia as conquered much, eventually founding the Wendish Empire. Love your videos, mate.

They didn’t even know the direction and it would be a waste of ammo for no real suppression

5:30 like you said the turrain is very difficult to see enemys if they were to fire back at the enemys it would reveal there position, your position not being known by the enemy is very important

Worked with Estonians during my deployment to Iraq in 2006. Great guys. Glad you came across my feed.

That was the best breakdown of the difference between militaries I've ever heard, and you did it in the first 90 seconds!😲😂😂😎

As for the second video, the only reason he was moving without cover was because all his teammates were wounded and he was trying to get them help. It was a bad situation all round.

Second video guy was advancing by himself into open area as a destraction to allow his unit a chance to get a better position and he did get hit in the process. Sometimes you sacrifice yourself for your brothers. Much respect

We’re trained not to return fire without a positive ID on the target. Collateral damages do such. I this was a close ambush though, positive ID would be nearly instant and in that situation you’d flip it on full auto and light a candle. We’re trained for quite a few different scenarios.

Thank you for your narration. I’ve never been in the military, but I admire soldiers for their bravery and dedication. They probably didn’t shoot back probably because they’re in a residential area and didn’t want to risk having innocent people getting hurt.

them not firing back when the shots start flying is probably something in their rules of engagement so that they dont accidentally hit civs

I think I remember reading somewhere that the guy in the 2nd video was attempting to draw enemy fire as his squadmates were pinned down from heavy enemy fire. He apparently was hit around 3-4 times and was too far away from his team for them to hear his calls for help. Please correct me if I am wrong as this is just what I can remember, and one's memeroy isn't always accurate.
