My fellow 03XX/11X knows, violence of action is key. If you are on the recieving end of an ambush, you must assault through the enemy and ultimately move out of the kill zone. I vaguely remember the old tactics manuals used to teach: Return fire in the direction of the enemy fire while simultaneously screaming and throwing grenades. Like you have no other choice but to exert as much violence out of your body as you can as it might be your last. Stay savage gents.

Oh and even more important hope it doesn't happen in a flat open field from above. That would be pretty bad pretty fast. But who knows.

Some of the things you learned from elk and take for granted, a lot of us tactical bros have little practice with. Noise and light discipline, masking your scent, tracking and covering your own trail, fitness in terms of moving with a pack, knowing what to bring to keep yourself warm and dry, etc.

For anyone not incorporating lifting and running into your daily training, this really emphasizes why the fitness aspect is important. Surprising how many people in the community skip the physical portion of training and just focus on the sexy gun stuff.

One of the hardest things to learn with a team is avoiding those lulls in fire. Mag changes and malfunctions are going to happen it’s important to maintain sustained fire in those situations. You see it a couple times when they were running the far ambush drill. If someone is moving in contact someone should always be firing. It’s even harder with smaller teams because like here with a 2 man team, that one man has to pick up fire on his buddy’s mag change if that other team is moving. Also depending on terrain it takes a lot of practice to know when and where to bound. Sometimes you might have to take an extra bound or sit tight. The shit really is an art.

"A crafty enemy will set a weak ambush you are meant to break through. Confident because you have dealt with the threat, your guard relaxed, you walk into the second, stronger ambush." Best way to avoid an Ambush. Leave your Stronghold through different gates at different times. Never get in a pattern where you are out the "west" gate at 0700 and on "orange" route at 0705 headed to OP Charlie. Even the most bush league enemy can figure out where, when and how to hit you if you do that enough times. Mix your timing, rate of travel, hold ups, route and exit, entry points to keep them guessing. Write the SOP that works for you and practice until everyone knows it like house clearing. It's almost as complex when you take mounted/dismounted into consideration.

Casualty out in the open is not good so it's better to try and get fire superiority before collecting fallen/injured to prevent more casualties. if the casualty is conscious you yell at him to see if he can move, fire back, take cover. if not, you move, fire back, and take cover.

Also another video you mentioned when your concealing from vehicle mounted IR that you will have to utilize a hideout of sorts… basically you said you’d explain how to stay concealed from IR for days at a time, I’d be interested to learn about that too.

Great job to whoever decided to film with a drone at that angle and at that specific time of the day when shadows would create the contrast not shown when filming people using camouflage, helping us viewers to easily understand the procedure. A round of applause from Argentina!

Sweet cape. All jokes aside, great demonstration. It helps me realize how much I don’t know and need to learn. Always called the “bounding” technique “leap frog”. We used to practice that between haybails while larping on our flat range in a field. Biggest thing we practiced was how to not shoot each other.

As infantryman, I love having this guy as a resource feel like I'm becoming a better soldier every time I tune in lol

Good army field manuals I would suggest looking at would be FM 3-21.8 (Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad), FM 5-31.65 (Booby Traps), FM 3-25.26 (Map Reading and Land Navigation), FM 3-90 (Tactics), and finally FM 3-05.70 (Survival). Total Resistance: Swiss Army Guide to Guerrilla Warfare is also a good read, you can find all of these for free online.

It's been 22 years since I last donned the EGA, but when I watch these videos, I still smell gun powder.

I really hope I'll never need this information but I'm glad to have it

Man 2 videos with GT in one day. Both while crapping my brains out. The toilet gods are gracious.

Great videos as always guys. Some things I'd be interested as seeing as a civ (who has read a fair number of army manuals): - How to handle somebody getting wounded in/around a contact scenario - round conservation/ preparing for (possible) longer engagement during an engagement (bcuz as civ's we're not getting 'bailed out' by a nearby squad or calling in a brrrrps): If you only had 8 mags, 2 40mm smoke, and say 2-3 40mm HE or frags...how to know when to use ammo liberally, and what to hold back even as youre attempting to crush that enemy. - Sun Tzu/Machievelli/ Robert Greene (33 Strategies of War): If you are trying to detach from a far ambush, preparing for a counter-ambush if they were to pursue...or maybe the enemy detachs and you then try to get to next hill over (in sight of their escape route) and try to initiate counter-ambush as follow up. Just a couple topics I could see as being helpful to be covered by people with experience.

@RealBrothaProduction

Жыл бұрын

Round conservation. That’s something that you will not be really taught in a manual. So I’m Recon, unlike the Infantry, we don’t have the numbers but we have the fire power for a Section sized element. The only one really going to be taught rate of fire is your 240 Gunner (Scouts don’t use SAWs, but replace all information with the SAW if need be). In recon your dismount 240 Gunner is the second most experienced guy in the team but in the Infantry your TL will let the gunner know to go from Rapid, Sustained, and Cyclic. (Cyclic is a Machinegunner/ Automatic Riflemen wet dream)

@djdrack4681

Жыл бұрын

@@RealBrothaProduction Thanks for info my man. I've watched a decent amount of helmet cam cahnnels like Funker530 to see the TL letting that SAW dude go cyclic (or sometimes somebody on a auto-GL system etc). It makes sense that the biggest one concerned about it is the SAW dude (seems like they carry maybe 3-4 drums). Since that is the squads/groups firepower. I was thinking about 'rough estimates' about average # rounds spent in killing 1 enemy combatant (in recent times in Iraq/Afghanistan. I can't remember the stuff I was reading that was fairly believable sources, but it was something insane like 10k or 50k rounds. No doubt that is some average of all sorts (and might include your AC130 brrps spent etc). But it had me thinking that if you were in a SHTF situation that 8mag +1 (or even 10+1) loadout isn't much. Even if your group has 10-12 ppl in it. you can go through that in a near engagement or CQB fairly quickly I'd imagine... and was thinking about fact that civs or ppl in SHTF aren't goign to have no backup squad bail them out or get evac'd via helicopter, boat etc. Certainly no close-air support unless somebody starts selling DIY bayraktar tb-2 kits. ...so, in such shitshow you gotta have rounds to not only survive those engages but also to protect your ass in your 'retreat' back to your HQ/woods/whatever. I imagine it'd be a very bad time if you survived 'going into town' to loot supplies from your woods HQ...survived CQBs for a few days only to have to trek back w/o any ammo while being chased by some buddies of those you just wrecked...bad ending to that scenario.

Very helpful video. Seeing the drone shot from above is helpful. What would be nice to see are diagrams showing what you are talking about. Even doing rocks on the ground to show personnel of both sides, angles of fire, terrain, decisions and where you are shooting and going next.

Thank you for all you guys are doing.

Great video. One thing I would add is, once contact is initiated and “CONTACT (Left, Right, Rear, Front)” is called, the disposition of the enemy may not be obvious, so calling out a 3 D’s (Direction, Distance, Description) report can be beneficial to coordinate and control the fires of your unit so you aren’t wasting ammo doing recon by fire. An example of that would be “CONTACT LEFT, 100 Meters. Second Floor, first window on the right.” In the Marine Corps we used ADDRAC for essentially the same thing, but a little more complicated. The Army’s 3 D’s is much simpler.

As quickly as I want more info, I try to be patient because I know they take a lot of time and effort. And if you like the deadly in the mountain series, watch the urban survival series as well. They all tie together. Watch, learn, train. Time waiting for new info, should be spent reviewing prior videos and training using the principals he presents.
