  After watching reels of WW2 footage I get the impression that the M1 carbine is seen more frequently than 1 in 40 soldiers in Europe. It’s far lighter to carry, has greater capacity, lighter recoil and one can carry more ammunition than the M1 Garand.

  @elijones20416 күн бұрын

  He remarks on that in the video. What he says about the Garand also applies to the carbine, anyone that wonted one could get one. you also have to take into account that it wasn't just Infantry rifle platoons on the front lines, weapons platoons would have carbines. Airborne platoons could see a few carbines. one anti tank gun is served by up to ten men all with carbines, if something happens to that gun here's ten combat soldiers all armed with carbines now fighting.

  Not every soldier was a rifleman at the tip of the spear- the rifle platoon. It takes 10 men in the rear to support one at front, and that's exactly the Carbine's purpose. While the M1 Rifles and B.A.R.s do the day-to-day fighting, Carbines arm the men running logistics, artillery, transportation, communication, anti-tank, and even cooking that keep the rifle platoons and companies in the fight. These guys are a lot of what you'll see in archival footage, as its much safer to film the mortar man in the rear than the rifleman getting shelled in a foxhole at the front!

  I was in the USMC from '62 until '66. During my time in the infantry, The squad began as a 13-man unit: 3 fire-teams and a squad leader. By it time I became a squad leader a M-79 grenadier was added to the squad. He served directly under the squad leader. Each fire-team had one M-14 with a fire selector switch (we called him the "AR man"), and 3 riflemen. The squads were not always T.O., often short a couple of men, sometimes an entire fire team.

  The best way to attack as a squad is line of skirmish or two shallow fire teams, generally abreast, using buddy team fire and maneuver to close with and kill or capture them and destroy his means and will to fight. A rifle squad do not have the ammunition to use flanking maneuver and the only enemy a squad should be attacking is a LP/OP or a small team of scouts that decided to die in place in the attempt to screen a larger unit.

  Envelopment is different than a flank.

• 
  @G.I.HistoryHandbook5 ай бұрын

  Though the two have been distinct forms of maneuver in modern US Army doctrine, that was not the case during WWII. According to FM 100-5 (1944): "Attack maneuvers are classified as envelopments and penetrations." Other maneuvers were regarded as variations of the two. (For example, that manual describes a turning movement as a type of envelopment.) The following definitions are from TM 20-205 (1944): "envelop, attack one or both flanks of the enemy, usually attacking his front at the same time." "envelopment, attack made on one or both of the enemy's flanks or rear, usually accompanied by an attack on his front; enveloping attack. If the attack is made on both flanks at once it is called a double envelopment." Regarding current doctrine, the decade of flank attack and envelopment being separate forms of maneuver is over. The recent FM 3-90 (2023) notes that "flank attack" is "no longer used as a defined Army term." It also updated the definition of envelopment: "Envelopment is a form of maneuver in which an attacking force avoids an enemy's principal defense by attacking along an assailable flank. An envelopment avoids the enemy force's strength-the enemy's front-where the effects of enemy fires and obstacles are generally the greatest and attacks the enemy to the flank or rear."

  25:58 - "Bayonets will be fixed for the final assault - yes. But when we think of killing, we must think of bullets fired at point-blank range.The bayonet is the final threat and last reserve". That's an excellent and balanced summary of the use of the bayonet in modern warfare, with a hint on its psychological effect on the enemy. A weapon that may be used and instill the soldier for offense, but not actually the main player at close-range anymore.

• 
  @G.I.HistoryHandbook7 ай бұрын

  I know that particular phraseology can grind gears, but "win" and "earn" can be synonyms. (Along with "secure, gain, achieve, attain," etc.) "Win" has several definitions, and one of them is: "to obtain by work: EARN." For example: a "breadwinner" earns the money that supports their family. When people speak of "winning medals" I assume that is the meaning intended; not that they received it as a prize in a raffle.

  I've heard carbine pronounced both as KAR-BEEN and KAR-BEIN. I use the KAR-BEIN pronunciation in my own speech. But I've never been bothered by either pronunciation and I've never heard of anyone being bothered by either pronunciation. I'm sure one or the other pronunciation may eventually prove more popular while the other slowly fades out of the language. But for the moment at least, both pronunciations seem to be equally correct.

  @jonathanbair523 The carbine is mentioned in the platoon organization video. There was only one M1 Carbine in the platoon's T/O&E and it was allotted to the platoon leader. There were many more carbines in the company as a whole, and they could find their way into the rifle squads, but "by the book" the Lt was the only man in a rifle platoon officially armed with one.
