When I was at West Point, one of my roommates was on the West Point drill team. But, when th US ARMY Drill Team came to perform, we had one member of the team stay in our barracks with us and it was great to talk to him, ask him questions, and find out exactly how they did what they did. And, the answer is...... good ole fashioned hard work. Great job. It brings tears to my eyes to see a unit so in synch and BE as ONE.
The U.S. Army always was, is now and will always be the best army that ever marched. We are up there with the Roman army, German army and the Swiss army. There is NO ONE better than us. The United States Army,HOORAH!
Their commander may be stoic and calm on the outside but you have to wonder what's going on in his head as he has several razor sharp bayonets thrust at him from all sides.
Just saw them live tonight at the Britsh Military Tournament at Earls Court. They are absolutely amazing. Even better when you see them live. The whole crowd was completely captivated. Really something very special.
This is amazing. the movements are so sharp and defined. I think many people underestimate how hard it is to achieve that level of precision and unity. Completly amazing. It would be awesome to be able to be on a drill team like that.
Soldiers of any service are to be commended for their discipline and honor. I was 2/325 INF, 82nd ABN Div...The service drill teams are ALL professional and serve their branches with distinction and honor. Its what makes the US military the most formidable force on earth...
The army are the first and last line of defense against threats. I was a former NJROTC cadet and I respect all military branches. We fight together as brothers and sisters in battle
AND I GIVE YOU SO MUCH RESPECT!!! JUST LAST THING!! I WANT TO THANK YOU MEN, FOR YOU ARE UNITED STATES SOLDIERS!! SO PROUD OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!! Thank you!!
I am not an American but I would be proud to be! Proud be all of you to have such an extraordinary team like this...I really enjoyed to see this hell of an act! Thumbs up if you agree with me...
all silent drill teams for Marine, Army, Navy (Etc.) are all entertaining to watch even if your in a different military your drill team is just a impressive as the next
I was a Citadel Summeral Guard at The Citadel. Just earning that honor, as Bond volunteer was enough said. I know my steps, and count, and change of arms. Never will I forget them. They are in my soul forever.
I hate when people badmouth our soldiers. I'm not in the Army, Marines, Air Force or any other service, but i still have respect for those who serve. They defend this country. What do you do, trashtalkers.
It really hurts me in seeing how many people believed that Marines are better than the Army, but the people saying bad things about the Army don't really know anything. Does it bother you when people say anything like "the Army sucks and Marines are better?
must say that it was i brilliant performance. Im also in the army and we also make some drills, but nowhere near their what they can do. When i started in the military my sergents told me that a soldier that is god at those drills is a good soldier. Kudos to their performance well done:
Even if I could somehow learn this routine as flawlessly as that, I think one of the hardest things for me would be trying not to smile throughout the whole thing!
We're not inefficient at winning wars, we're humane, something that 95% of other countries aren't. It's not because of army strength, it's because of compassion for not only your own countrymen but your enemies countrymen as well. Respecting the fact that not everyone in another country is an enemy, never ruthless and uncaring. We have honor, and it's this SAME honor and above qualities that makes the United States and her army TRULY the greatest in the world.
I think the Color Guard of all Branches of the U.S. Military are the Best and Sharpest in the World. Thank you for your Service and God Be With You All,
To be competitive is the nature of a fighting man. To argue who is the best is understandable. What is important, I believe is that the pride and respect Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen alike are all on the same mission. No matter what, if it is any man or woman serving our country it makes the little hairs on the back of my neck move and I am OVERWHELMED with pride... SFC Rankin, R.E. USA, RET
When I as stationed in Korea 1960-61 I was in the First Cavalry Honor Guard. We had a very similar silent drill. One of the routines we did was flipping our rifles to each other while standing 20 feet apart. The announcer said they were using 1903 Springfield's. Not true they are using M1 Garand's. The 1903 was bolt action which made it a danger not only for balance but the bolt would get caught on clothing. In rehearsals we broke a lot of the wooden stocks, but the QM had cases of them.
very impressive! A quote from the Dirty Dozen came to mind... " Very pretty, General. Very pretty. But, can they fight?" Of course I have no doubt they can, but the thought made me chuckle!
Well in spite of some of the stupid comments, I have been lucky enough to see these gentlemen in person. The NCOIC great. I asked him how he could stand there and let all those bayonets come at his head. He told me he had absolute faith in his people. As good as they are here, it's even more impressive in person. Thanks for posting this.
I am very proud of our fighting men and women in our Armed Forces. I also believe that anyone that doesn't show respect and give Thanks to God everyday for you, they should pack their bags and move to another country. My father-in-law fought in WW2 under General Patton he's ninety-three years old I still show him respect because he fought and survived !
i was told once by me CO that there was this guy at an armed drill competition and he had abayonett on his rifle. he did liek a 360 spin and hit the bayonett on the ground and it made sparks. one of the judges left a coment saying "oooooooo sparks! i love it!!!"
This Vet's Day, i say Thank You to the greatest armed forces the free world has ever seen. * to keep us that way . . . . . FREE* God Bless all our military.
I was at some ceremonial gathering at one of the "arena type" places in Philadelphia a few years ago (just like the one seen here) and at some point during the presentation that I saw...the lights went out in the entire room (intentionally). It was because there was a glow in the dark strip on some part of each rifle and the drill team had glow in the dark gloves and glow in the dark "neck collars" (or something like that)...
@BlinkxD27 You mean the NCO who is charge of this drill? He volunteered for the Army, volunteered to go to Airborne school, volunteered to go to the Old Guard and was selected as one of the best of the best. Without going in to the motives for your devisive statement, he put himself right where he wants to be, have no doubt. AATW !
I'd personally say neither the Marine Silent Drill Platoon, nor the Army Drill Team, are better than the other. They each have their own way of going about drilling, and both look perfect doing it.
I thought this section was made to leave comments related to THE VIDEO. If you want to argue or discuss your theories please, go blog about it on your own site. The U.S. Army Drill Team is outstanding. I would love to see it in person.
thats youtube for you, you share with the public but unfortunate there are some out there don.t appreciate that , no need for comments if you don,t like it better to keep quiet and more polite. i liked it thanks
i would argue that what they do is extremely useful (much more than just being another anonymous combat marine) america has no shortage of ground troops, and this elite drill core serves to instill a sense of pride & honor among the american people and their fellow troops. The moral and discipline they inspire are MUCH more important than having 15 more ground troops. In any combat situation, moral & discipline is EVERYTHING.
on the floor so that the next man behind catches the rifle of the guy that just let go of it in front of him. The visual was very cool because I saw a line of glow in the dark material that didn't move for about 1/2 second every 3 feet or so while the bodies kept moving in a circle. Very sweet.
Man the first time i see this video, I was in my Jrotc building doing expedtion ( sorry i can't it right), but this Drill Team is beast, just like the Marines Silent Drill Team
For those of you who don't understand what this is about: Army is about honor, discipline and exceptional commitment!! If you fail to understand the value of tradition, then you are just another sloppy, camo-clad mercenary. These boys make me proud!!!
i didn't say i believed in or agreed with WAR ... but i do support the men and women who choose to support this country. and also the men and women who didn't volunteer but served proudly anyway.

As an US Army veteran, I agree wholeheartedly
Germany has certainly never been accused of being unimpressive, but the Swiss Army? I shall have to google their history a bit more- thanks!
Their commander may be stoic and calm on the outside but you have to wonder what's going on in his head as he has several razor sharp bayonets thrust at him from all sides.
+112steinway "If any of these fuckers stab me..."
True story, he was my drill instructor back in 2000 on Ft Benning. Absolute badass
Just another Monday.
WOW!! As being a Combat Veteran and just seeing the video!! Makes me want to tear up!! But soldiers do not cry!! You guys were AMAZING AND I GO
I'm in AWE of these incredible soldiers!
Absolutely amazing. Possibly the best drill I have ever seen. The skill and focus to go into this is incredible.
i was in the atmy for 8 yrs i would do it all again i love this shit
Someone please hire this British announcer to narrate EVERYTHING that ever happens. His commentary is brilliant. Love that guy.
We all fight under the same flag. Sure we may give the other branches crap. But if it comes down to it, we will fight side by side.
Awesome performance by our proud Army Drill Team!!!! God bless you!!! GO ARMY!!
The SFC now haunts my nightmares.
Just saw them live tonight at the Britsh Military Tournament at Earls Court. They are absolutely amazing. Even better when you see them live. The whole crowd was completely captivated. Really something very special.
Makes me proud to be an Army Veterans wife. Go ARMY!!
Army, Marines, and Air Force Drill Teams are all outstanding!
Good Job Guys. God Bless You. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this so immaculate. I have watched this many times and finally thought omg I have something to say, thanks so much for this video.
God Bless America!

What am honor it must be to serve your country in such a way... Truly incredible, how synced they are with every movement. It is just beyond me.
I never thought I'd find a drill routine so badass; glad I joined the Army!
Excellent, flawless, perfection. Nice job. I wish I had a fraction of that skill.
AND I GIVE YOU SO MUCH RESPECT!!! JUST LAST THING!! I WANT TO THANK YOU MEN, FOR YOU ARE UNITED STATES SOLDIERS!! SO PROUD OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!! Thank you!!
I am not an American but I would be proud to be! Proud be all of you to have such an extraordinary team like this...I really enjoyed to see this hell of an act! Thumbs up if you agree with me...
Fantastic performance, I really appreciate seeing it uploaded here. I hope to go to Washington one day and see them perform.
all silent drill teams for Marine, Army, Navy (Etc.) are all entertaining to watch even if your in a different military your drill team is just a impressive as the next
Practice makes perfect. And this drill magnificently shows its effectiveness.

Proud to have served on the US Army Drill Team twice--1982-85 & 89-93. Nice to see the tradition carries on...
It really hurts me in seeing how many people believed that Marines are better than the Army, but the people saying bad things about the Army don't really know anything. Does it bother you when people say anything like "the Army sucks and Marines are better?
Extraordinary, and all done without verbal commands.They are a credit to their country.
Precision, discipline, trust, training, and pride--all traits of the finest fighting force on the planet.
This is an EXCELLENT demonstration of the beauty and elegance of military "pomp N circumstance". They look really FINE!!!
Wow I am currently in JROTC and I would never imagine that the army drill team could do this, this is why I love drill and color guard :)
must say that it was i brilliant performance. Im also in the army and we also make some drills, but nowhere near their what they can do. When i started in the military my sergents told me that a soldier that is god at those drills is a good soldier. Kudos to their performance well done:
I saw these guys at the Army Bowl last year, really good.
Even if I could somehow learn this routine as flawlessly as that, I think one of the hardest things for me would be trying not to smile throughout the whole thing!
God bless each one of you, serving the US Military

I think the Color Guard of all Branches of the U.S. Military are the Best and Sharpest in the World. Thank you for your Service and God Be With You All,
wow,
is all I can say. I've only ever watched the the USMC silent drill team, now this is cool too. I'm glad I took a peek at it.
Good job YAY.
I salute you. The best army in the world.
They dont say how many there are(the enemy) they just go and fight!
That sgt walks off like "I am such a boss." Which he is.
an honor and a pleasue to watch, incredible!
Exceptional, amazing, beautiful to watch.....GO ARMY!!!!!
3:00 "yeah!" lol. awesome video!!

Truly awesome. Exacting precision. Love it!
this is so nice...i love. it tickled my morale to join the army

Ok I gatta admit the circle was freaking SWEET!
this is so awesome. rly excellent moves, not any mistakes everything flows and looks just awesome. i feel well protected here^^
very impressive! A quote from the Dirty Dozen came to mind... " Very pretty, General. Very pretty. But, can they fight?" Of course I have no doubt they can, but the thought made me chuckle!
Our armed drill team needs an an exhibition like this. They are our heros
Well in spite of some of the stupid comments, I have been lucky enough to see these gentlemen in person. The NCOIC great. I asked him how he could stand there and let all those bayonets come at his head. He told me he had absolute faith in his people. As good as they are here, it's even more impressive in person.

so much pathos the the voice of narrator.
the amount of concentration it takes to perform these routines is quite impressive.
No matter where you are from or who you are. You have to admit this is some of the most awesomest shit ever done.
the best drill core I ever seen. I seen you to in ahoy!!!
I am very proud of our fighting men and women in our Armed Forces. I also believe that anyone that doesn't show respect and give Thanks to God everyday for you, they should pack their bags and move to another country.

wonderful..could watch them all night
i was told once by me CO that there was this guy at an armed drill competition and he had abayonett on his rifle. he did liek a 360 spin and hit the bayonett on the ground and it made sparks. one of the judges left a coment saying "oooooooo sparks! i love it!!!"
best art i've ever seen
It is called practice and trust. I have done it when a friend of mine was stationed at 8th and I
Craziest video ive seen in a LONG time!
My brain just splattered
This Vet's Day, i say Thank You to the greatest armed forces the free world has ever seen. * to keep us that way . . . . . FREE*
God Bless all our military.
This is the highest Honor in the army. Respect them for most of you are not worthy of even looking at them.
Such a soothing voice. Kinda made me want to go to sleep.
This is hysterical! I love it!
Perfect drill, I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of these guys, excellent performance.
Thank you, friend. This is old-school tradition which separates true warrior from beast.
I was at some ceremonial gathering at one of the "arena type" places in Philadelphia a few years ago (just like the one seen here) and at some point during the presentation that I saw...the lights went out in the entire room (intentionally). It was because there was a glow in the dark strip on some part of each rifle and the drill team had glow in the dark gloves and glow in the dark "neck collars" (or something like that)...
Anyone that goes into a situation knowing they could die at any second for someone else gets my respect
I am a former US Marine. Much respect to you all. That was amazing.
Outstanding display of skill
Im Mexican, but i remember old days in Wentworth Military Academy, i love the Drill Team!!!
@BlinkxD27 You mean the NCO who is charge of this drill? He volunteered for the Army, volunteered to go to Airborne school, volunteered to go to the Old Guard and was selected as one of the best of the best.
Without going in to the motives for your devisive statement, he put himself right where he wants to be, have no doubt. AATW !
Guess who's son is now attempting to do all this with their toy riffle?? That's right..this mama's.
That was awesome!!
I'd personally say neither the Marine Silent Drill Platoon, nor the Army Drill Team, are better than the other. They each have their own way of going about drilling, and both look perfect doing it.
Amazing. So sharp and accurate.
I thought this section was made to leave comments related to THE VIDEO. If you want to argue or discuss your theories please, go blog about it on your own site. The U.S. Army Drill Team is outstanding. I would love to see it in person.
most amazing thing is that they have no music to let them keep the rythm..so its way more impressive this way! nice sync
you know i am in the US Navy but i have to give the army props for that performance you guys are good
thats youtube for you, you share with the public but unfortunate there are some out there don.t appreciate that , no need for comments if you don,t like it better to keep quiet and more polite. i liked it thanks

AWESOME!
no better out there guys! Different but not better!
Man the first time i see this video, I was in my Jrotc building doing expedtion ( sorry i can't it right), but this Drill Team is beast, just like the Marines Silent Drill Team
must say speaking as an ex soldier...the timing is perfect..as per usual the sarge just stands and watches..all of them a credit to the USA
Absolutely impressive!
