Great video thumbs up!

Good to see the RLC and the TEG get some recognition but the Gurkhas are only 10% of it but get the most limelight.

Oh I i don't know, but I i was there for lionheart, crusader, certain shield and a few more. Before we had instant comms and ass covering exercises!

The British Army is nade from different components. All pull together. This works. It intregrates wherever they are are.

I enjoy military history, World War 2 in particular. As a kid it was the shooty bang bang stuff. The older I get, the more I'm fascinated how you get a tin of rations to a soldier fighting in the Burmese jungle.

They’ve been kept going for a very specific reason

You cannot mass like this on a modern battlefield, cheap weapons will always overwhelm defenses, the European countries have to fight in place, no giant reinforcement will be tenable, combat units will have to be trained and disbursed, Reforger style exercises wouldn’t work in the 1980s and certainly won’t work today

Former loggy. Looking at some photos, shouldn't we be training, more than ever, to break up the vehicles and supplies? Rather than cluster them? Be unpredictable. Avoid drones, long-range missiles & air assets. Maybe some pics were just photo opportunities.

@CastleHassall yes the videos are odd aren't they? Give away alot of info. But I suppose the exercises are propaganda to show we are active, flexing our muscle etc. But sometimes the detail is a bit OTT. Catch 22. I hope our general staff are sharp, not on the golf course or planning the kitchen extension, or their politican career most the time. That can be our downfall.

Why doesn’t the military consult with civilian logistic companies.. companies that operate long distances all over Europe.. military is so out of date and not efficient

@Surv1ve_Thrive

Because in a war you can't rely on Amazon staff to bring you bullets and bully beef. They won't be there. Some peacetime logistics are outsourced. But there is a risk of becoming lazy and unskilled.

It does. There are also military units that do it in a military way. Most Civilian hauliers aren’t allowed to take a lot of the kit the military needs. They can move a lot of bulky stuff, ISO’s, vehicles, armour etc. but there’s a lot of kit civvies aren’t allowed to take.

Gurkhas doing logistics seemes a bit weird for me. Just had a wee look at this regiment, all drivers, cooks, petrol attendants etc. I'm sure they do an awesome job, it just seems a shame to have this proud and capable force doing just this. It's all a specialised division, etc. im just surprised 👍
