- British Army: Behind the Frontlines - The Battle for Mosul (S1 E1):-
A look at the heart of the British army. The army goes to Iraq, where they have a bloody history - 179 British soldiers were killed here between 2003 and 2011.When fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria swept across Iraq in the summer of 2014, the largest prize they claimed was the city of Mosul. The jihadists forced the Iraqi military and a large portion of the city’s population and people to flee. With roughly 600K residents remaining, Mosul is the largest population center under ISIS control, a key source of prestige and resources and a living advertisement for the group’s claim that it is building a state.
In March, the Iraqi government announced the launch of a military operation to retake Mosul, but so far the campaign has only made incremental progress, reclaiming a series of villages with the help of the U.S. led military coalition against ISIS. The Iraqi military lacks the troops to launch a full-scale assault on the city, and in late May the government committed troops to a separate campaign to retake Fallujah, another key ISIS-held city that lies closer to Baghdad. Pro-government forces retook the center of Fallujah on June 17. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared on Twitter, “Fallujah has returned to the nation and Mosul is the next battle.”
But Mosul won’t be easy, and it’s not just because of the military challenge. The Mosul campaign is complicated by a political stalemate within Iraq. The military is expected to rely on powerful Kurdish militias to help pave the to Mosul, but the semi-autonomous Kurdish government in northern Iraq has yet to commit to the operation, claiming they are not properly equipped for an attack on the city. In Fallujah and other battles, the government has relied on Shi’ite-majority militias called “hashd al-shabi,” or popular mobilization forces. Prime Minister Abadi said in February that the militias would join the battle for Mosul, but to date none of them have been sent to the front lines approaching the city. Rights groups have accused some of those groups of of war crimes, and critics say that sending the militias into a Sunni-majority city like Mosul could cause further sectarian violence.
While the battle for Mosul has yet to begin in earnest, members of the Iraqi military, Kurdish militias, and the U.S. military are already fighting and dying in the battle against ISIS. Iraqi civilians are fleeing by the thousands, and hundreds of thousands of others remain trapped under ISIS rule. The jihadists continue to counterattack the opposing forces, harassing the troops holding the front lines.

NO , there's so many better with iraqi army fighting , kurds did nothing they betrayed iraqi army and fought against iraq and helped isi*s
I'd rather loose my lunch than loose my countries military budget...
Exactly
Same

It really hit hard when they were training without guns. Desperation to fight even though being woefully unprepared. So so sad
it's quite common, lots of countries use wooden or other dummy guns in initial training
Sadly this would be even more common in the uk if civilians ever had to get training under desperation, since we aren't allowed to protect ourselves with firearms like the Americans can
@@aarondwood6628 I actually own quite a few firearms and I'm from the UK
@@willgirvan2491You know what he meant, and I doubt you own any. Even as a kid, when I watched compactors crushing the guns you had willingly turned in I knew y'all were screwed. And you are.

When they talked about British liberators becoming occupiers you could see a British troop scrambling out of an armoured vehicle that was on fire desperate for his life, he helped save them and he was likely injured or killed by the people he saved
He survived
If the Iraqis don't want foreign soldiers there then their entitled to try and drive them out. We would do the same.
@@LoudaroundLincoln ur right. we should just leave them to be stoned, mutilated and beheaded by extremists. great logic
he survived he was part of my old regiment
@@LoudaroundLincoln The Iraqis weren't in a position to demand much, to be quite honest - they lived under Saddam, all too many quite willingly for decades, failed to form a genuinely stable democracy in the years that followed his removal from this planet, descended to the very edge of outright civil war along tribal and religious factional lines, and then, with all their fancy new weapons and training, were unable to drive back ISIS and subsequently lost a chunk of their country to what were basically a horde of illiterate, theocratic amateurs, and then a fair portion of Iraqi men under 30 just wandered off into Europe and now drive taxis in Berlin.
If the "powers that be" had given us license both in Ireland and the Middle East, to do what we are very good at, there would be less names on graves. I proudly served my Queen however, there were times where I "sidestepped" orders to protect my friends and innocent people. I believe that I am still alive because of my approach.
Ireland wouldve been the same as the islamic state just fighting forever without uniform, england wouldn't of won
Ireland would manage just fine without Britain tbh, also remember Bloody Sunday as a good example of why sometimes checks on army operations are necessary
@@e.a.forrest1968 Not really there almost certainly would have been a genocide without British involvement too prevent the two communities from killing each other.
@Devin McNulty said a Irishman 😂
What orders did you sidestep?
Great stuff, thanks for uploading.
The Kurds are good fighters! They also have a great perspective. They know how important their actions are and take it very seriously.
LoL
I don't know if it's covered in this documentary, but there is one where they were working with the police force and their armed officers. It's a difficult watch when millions were being poured into training them and assisting them in holding their own, and the forces couldn't tell them what to do or correct them, all they could do was advise. One British soldier turned up to see the local captain, and all of the soldiers were wrecked on opium/H. They were piling stuff up to scrap, holding people prisoner with no reason and then demanding more ammunition and guns, etc, because they kept running out. It's fair to say they're trigger happy, but what came to light later is the captain was sending some of his men out at night on raids and picking up young boys. Nothing could be done due to the agreement, but it turns out that word got out later on, and he was found in pieces in the police yard. No disrespect, but the whole idea was just a massive joke, thinking they could change mindsets at the cost of taxpayers and soldiers lives.
A great doc thanks for putting it up great series too
I was working in Taji during this as private security looking after American contractors working on Abrahams MBTs.
The problems wasn't repairing the vehicles it was the mountains of red tape to go through.
The iraqi culture is nothing moves without a signature, and they don't rush signing anything.
Imagine an army (Iraqi) that can’t secure spare parts for vehicles! Jesus Christ, the Iraqi Army was once one of the biggest and best armys on earth. I’m so glad I’m in a nation that has a great army, UK

we could kill every one if we wanted. we choose not to. they would kill us all if they could. thats the difference. we are human and they are rabid monkeys.
Best documentary I’ve watched ❤️
How friggin sad first Iraq is our Allie against Iran and then gets clobbered for disputing horizontal drilling by Kuwait and then gets invaded for non existent womd. And they are still at war the country in tatters.
It has become a playground of horror.
Looks like a new generation of the British army is coming
gay and woke? trannies as generals? No whites get promotion? thats the new british army.
where's ep 2?
There were definitely sf units on the ground in the fight over there
"The government of Iraq's advice is to stay at home... many people are ignoring the government's advice" Sounds familiar

Some people get scared at terrorists however I see a scared weak child, they attack the people that cant fight back, they say mighty wolfs defeat weak sheep but the only way to know how good the wolf is, is by putting a wolf with another wolf, killing children and civilians makes them look tough but they are just bullies that hide behind cameras and civilians

respect to the British lads...! cheers mate!
What blew me away is the deal that was made that thousands of fighters atheir family's were given free passage out in in a huge convoy that let them leave with all their weapons ect intact.nobofy says nothing about that. I think it was mosul.it was one of these city's anyway.
Can you put the other parts of this up. As it is and interesting series.
Deception 22 Done, Check out the video section of our channel.
I LOVE seeing the camaraderie between the Brits and the Iraqis. Love seeing with the US forces as well. Many of those guys that got trained were legit soldiers, and took the western training very seriously. Like the Golden Division guys, for example. But Peshmerga has always been known to be quite professional.
And the scoff was pukka, but we never see the Cooks...
Great documentary, love the two guys in the guard tower haha
I didnt know they were involved in the recent Mosul situation ! Trippy
2:18 and Thank God they finally got them some new helmets !
Oh my christ
Fascinating I never knew that the British done that in mosul
Walking back the way casual at 15:44. Got you I just thought you'd fall.
Good stuff
They had all the tools to do the job, but the 'Great British Liberal' takes the side of the scum of the earth. Every single time.
Britain’s always has troops abroad so to say they haven’t been at war for three years,

Our army should be fully funded , but only used to defend our country.
Proud our British army
he said you've got to show them respect not to show them like they're the second class of human being
stop calling them "So called" Islamic State!!
L Tippers They call them that because that isn’t their actual name (what they call themselves).
It's a way of not acknowledging their name/ideology.
Islamic states calls themselves that but Britian and us don’t agree with it
That’s there name dumbass
HOTWAR in Eastern Europe BUILD up our beloved Army Now!!...its a disgrace what the British Govt.has done to this Army with their cuts etc...
With what? Wogs, hadjis, north Africans? Europe is not Europe any more.
We need to liberate our countries first
All Army's be safe and secure round the world 🌎 no more war.
never fight a war means you will be evil's bitch and on your knees blowing every day. Sounds good to you I bet.

Stops from leaving there country and helps then fight for there country btw last time I remember how in the living hell does IS have bloody tanks !?
I assume when they steam rolled through half of Iraq and Syria a lot of weapons and vehicle were left abandoned and captured. Additional black market goods from Libya and Yemen. T top it all of they are were pretty proficient in creating robust technical and up armouring vehicle
Stay safe out there boys OORAH!
36:40 "and if all else fails...just say manchester united and they love it" :DD
How irresponsible is it for governments of both sides to continuously run down Britain 's military? If they are not equipped and manned correctly how can they possibly do their mission to fight when required,? The defence of the nation and its Interests should be a matter of priority otherwise one day Britain will caught with its pants down .
Was the stats 7,000 soldiers and 5,000 civilians?
Victory for us to glory. God save the Queen.
Yeah while the queen sits in her palace and ordinary people get shot at!! And!! This achieved nothing it was a battle that no one will win.
Black Rose the queen in 90 you idiot
They will never take the fighting
Cause the problem in the first place then send the boys back into harms way on another fucked up bollocks mission. Unbelievable.
16:43 that was so sad and they were special forces you could tell cos there all black uniforms
Nah buddy there not special forces learn u dickhead
2017 was not 4 years ago youse should know that better than anyone
They’ve killed as many Iraqi soldiers as civilians? Is that a win bruv?

We shouldn't be training tomorrows enemy.
Bird of Prey there’s two ways of looking at it
Isis is also our enemy and we need to get them first and if we train them they are less likely to go after us and keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but you have a point and I have to partially agree
learn about the kurds. then again I thought celtic fans were all for loving those that blow civilians up.
Watch tower soldiers said it you cant treat them like 2nd class humans you have to treat them the way ud want to be treated
So all they are doing is holding this one area? how does that help the fight against Isis?
I know like you need to progress this proves that the special forces ( in this case it's the Iraqi special forces) are always the hero's in the war
The documentary is about not fighting in a war but still being involved/helping. The British army aren’t there to fight isis, they are there to restore the protection to the civilians that get murdered every day. And to help further improve the safety and defence for those civilians (eg clearing IEDs, better training the soldiers).
Big up Afghanistan
these were not soldiers they were working alone
I pray for the day the British army is restored to its former glory
