It’s a little oudated on the info but spot on

The item that really got my attention was the heavy mortar carrier. Back in '83, my 12B battalion was gifted a platoon of 113's by our parent 11B regiment, when they received their Bradley's. At first we were at a loss as to what to do with them. We realized we could install our heavy mortar battery in them. Roughly two weeks later we drove them out to the mortar range and they worked very well. Once the infantry realized what we had done they took them back and kept them for their own. Man, our Major was pissed. Edit... We did receive a brand new battery of 210 mortars out of the situation, so not a complete loss. LOL.

Wow. I was only ever light infantry (paratroopers) and I am blown away by the sheer amount of firepower and mobility organic to a Stryker company. They can bring the heat hard and heavy.

The organization has changed a bit, though there are a few details that you guys missed. First, at the lowest level, each squad will contain a SDM, or Squad Designated Marksman, as one of the Riflemen. This Soldier is armed with a designated marksman's rifle, which can vary by unit. It is usually either a M14 EBR, M-16 DMR(an accurized M-16, with a match semiautomatic trigger, and free floated barrel), or one of the newer M110A1s, but with a Sig Tango-6 scope. At the company level, each company usually has a 3-man sniper team, armed with the same assortment of rifles as the Bn snipers. Also, usually, the company FSG will either use the HMMWV, or hitch a ride with one of the Strykers, and NEVER rides in the LMTV, of which, each company only gets 1. Also, the senior medic rides in the MEV. The LMTV is usually crewed by the company supply SGT and supply specialist. Lastly, each Stryker Brigade has a dedicated antitank company, which is an independent company, packed with ATGM Strykers, and crewed by infantrymen.

I drove the Canadian version in Kandahar City in 2009/10. That vehicle is awesome! Mine was brand new and had new car smell when we got it in theatre. We forded a river one night when KC flooded after a huge rainstorm. The main bridge was washed out on the highway North from KAF, so we drove to another crossing. I put it in 8 wheel drive and floored it but it was way deeper than we thought. Water washed over my vision blocks, I felt like I was submerging a submarine. I swear for a brief moment the wheels left the bottom of the river bed and we floated sideways a bit. Then the front wheels hit the far river bank and we were good. I was lead vehicle, all the rear hatches were open, it was super sketchy, but we got it done. I miss that ride!

When there were the riots in Panama with Cuban refugees, they sent in two battalions of Infantry from the 82 nd, but also an engineer battalion from the 1st Cav. the 8th. Why we had armor with M113s and were trained for fast deployment. We were holding 50 cal and CEV ranges that weekend, got the call and 48 hours later from coming off a range as the armor, loading the ISU 90 and picking up a few hundred shot guns for the task force along with another few truck loads of batons, riot shields and shin guards. I remember an airforce Col jumping up with me to guide the trucks off the run way and he asked how was the deployment, I said we were in the field running APC 50 cal ranges and just starting a tank range for the CEV's. So we had to clean the vehicles and equipment, pack and draw tons of supplies for the task force then drive over to the air field on Ft Hood. I said, this deployment will be looked at due to it does not happen all the time and everyone can learn something from it. But I woke up two days ago in my hammock at the ammo point of a range and just got a little sleep in the C5. The said part was, due to drawing the shot guns I had to do an initial check on all of the shot guns with the one support battalion small arms repair man we had with us. He loved me for thinking about him to get him added to the list of people to go to central america for the winter. Then issue the shotguns out to the 82nd. Due to the past year training cycle and ready brigade schedule, I was going to take leave the next week for PA deer season and that was pushed back a little due to 2 armorers on leave and one just went on emergency leave. I was the only armorer in the battalion left. Still I told the airforce Col. this was eye opening for me, with how fast the airforce could get the planes around and move an armored if with M113's battalion in one day.

Damn this is accurate. I spent 6 years in a Stryker units. I only found one thing that can come close to an inaccuracy in this. In your layout of a Stryker Battalion you left out the Attached Field Support Company. That's understandable though because on paper those Companies are assigned to the Brigade Support Battalion. But in practice they are apart of the line unit they are attached to, even in garrison.

Nice breakdown. I was SBCT out of Lewis (25ID) Deuce Four 2002-2006. The Strykers are superior in a urban environment like in Iraq but not so much if you are operating in a muddy non hardball type of roadway. I love the Stryker.

All you will do in a Stryker unit is go constantly to the motorpools for PMCS, drain all fluids under the Stryker, more time in the motorpool harrassing the mechanics to fix the AC and the heater. Only upside to a Stryker is you don’t have to ruck everywhere with your rucksacks since they will always be strapped on the side of the trucks and keep your snacks inside the trucks when you get hungry. Don’t forget that your SL and VC will tell you to go away and sleep outside while they sleep in a warm Stryker when it’s freezing outside.

I have a bit of insight into this as a former stryker infantryman. Every year my old unit (2CR in Germany) does a regimental sized "rapid deployment" exercise surging the entire unit from Germany to Poland or one of the Baltic states. The unit will travel in company sized "chalk" convoys. Each company will has several mechanics with HHC/HHT traveling with us. Recovery assets are general located with regimental support squadron/battalion if vehicles go down. Fuel and ammo wise, squadron/regiment coordinate with higher headquarters (i.e. USAREUR) to preposition refueling sites along our travel route and the same goes with ammo. Oftentimes these refueling operations were run by Guard/Reserve units in coordination with our squadron FST/FSC and fuelers.

I served in a SBCT from 2005 to 2009, 1/38 INF 4/2ID. Force organizations have most likely changed over the last 10 years, but during my time the MGS was directly deployed to the Company level with 3 MGS for a company; this would extend the HQ platoon to include company command, supply and support, mortars, fisters, sniper squad, and a tanker squad (yes, actual tankers). I won't spend a lot of time discussing various load outs since company commanders had high flexibility on unit setup. My company commander opted for a 4 platoon setup, M240s where moved from the mortar vehicles and distributed to the 4th squad heavy weapon teams; this created 4 equally equipped "undermanned" platoons. One of the core advantage of SBCTs is there ability to flex combat insert; although the Stryker is their preferred primary insert, a battalion could opt for helicopter insert or foot insert with Strykers on standby. Finally, the Stryker are considerably quieter than a heavy mechanized unit; this allows Strykers to make fast inserts with the enemy having less warning, more so in night missions.

Nothing entirely dedicated to birds wholesale. Marines have dedicated companies within infantry battalions. An example is during expeditionary unit deployments (MEU) one company is tasked with AAV’s, another to boats, another to birds, and the final get hover-crafted in with the heavy weapons, armor, and logistics. Gun-birds and harriers support all efforts. That said, all units are more or less interchangeable dependent on resources and mission. I was AAV company but only used AAV’s to train. Everything else was helo insertion. Second deployment we used helps to get out to a zone then turned into light truck/ foot dismounts.

I love how he brake it down, wow, it's much easier to understand, respect my brother, 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽

Awesome, thank you!

I had a book about military vehicles as a kid that included the warthog the abrams the challenger 2 all of those cool things, but what caught my eye the most was the Stryker, and I’ve wanted one ever since I was a kid

The maneuver company HQ PLT has a MEV (attached from HHC) with the company senior medic (not in the LMTV as stated in video) and usually the 1SG (not in the LMTV as stated in video) as company CCP operations is one of their main duties. The company XO on the other hand has been with the LMTV supply section as logistics is their duty.

I love the Stryker, I think it's a brilliant piece of kit.

Nice 👍

Awesome video. Suddenly I'm motivated to go to 2-2 Brigade or 4 ID.

Something I personally would love to see. The evolution of the cbt engr btn. Say from 'nam era to present. When I speak to current 12B's it feels completely different with the only similarity being we are still kept as battalions.

It would be interesting to see a full break down of a Stryker Brigade on the website.

great!!

What I've learned from this channel is it's good to follow doctrine in 9/10 scenarios.

team leaders in a rifle platoon are either SGT or CPL. CPL is the paygrade as SPC but with leader responsibilites...CPLs are SGTs before they go to their basic leader school.

Can you do a breakdown on us infantry and how they are moved around the battlefield and there organization

I was in 8-1 Cav weapons troop out of FT Lewis on the ATGM I miss those days and I attribute them to my love of overlanding

7:13 our unit has SQDMR teams as part of the weapon squad administratively but gets attached to other squads or independently in the field.

Can you do a video on the Us army Command structures (USEUR and FORSCOM)
