Soldiers in Northumberland have been testing their ability to defend the crucial supplies that support the frontline. 5 Regiment of the Royal Logistic Corps has been given nine anti-tank missiles, 10% of the Army’s annual allocation, to use for Exercise Iron Python...

Love these more in depth pieces from Forces TV, especially on the less glamorous side of operations.
Shuts the door quietly then start up a forklift! 😂😂😂
It's electric 😂😂😂 :)
Puts combat fatigues on, facepaint, shubbery in helmet, then adds a vizzy jacket.
Steve well yeah you wouldn’t be able to see him otherwise
@@steve5772 that's health and safety for you on civilian sites.
That’s because a door can be heard a lot further away than an engine
9:23 Excellent example of controlled fire there...
RobJ Workshop he just shot one of his mates
Every soldier a rifleman...
I originally thought that he was panicking but then noticed the micro sight mounted on top of his large telescopic/night sight. So perhaps he was getting rounds on target as soon as possible first with the micro sight then switched to the telescopic/night sight.
I was looking at that bit, re-watching it and was gonna send that clip to one of my group chats, glad Im not the only person to see what you should not be doing in that scenario, like whats he playing at using his left hand to take the safety off
Exactly what I was thinking...
Respect the Army does not work without them....Top lads.
IEDs : I'm about to end this whole man's career
I won’t knock the loggies as they are a small cog in a big chain. However that soldier on stag at the beginning needs to grip his weapon system properly!
my thorts exactly

I see nothing wrong with how the guy held his pen.

Respect to the RLC. Often maligned but do a vital job. Motto: "Honi soit qui mal y pense." ( approx translation : "don't slag us off!" :)
NICK THORP: Yes, I agree although I'm not too sure about your "very approx" translation of the Latin :-)
Except the motto is “we sustain”... good effort however
"Shame him who thinks evil of it"
Youve picked the perfect place because Middlesbrough looks like a war zone especially on a Saturday night!

The most important squadron! Nothing can be won without logistic!
Fascinating to see land based logistics in action!! I have considerable experience in naval logistics and support operations. Way to go -- 4 Regiment Royal Logistics Corps!! I can see that battle ready // effective logistics are everybody's collateral duty on land as it is at sea!! Best ,, No. 9!!
For 15 Years I was an Officer of the Crown, employed by the Parliament and the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, attached to the Australian Department of Defence and embedded into the Australian Military, (chiefly, although not exclusively the Australian Army) as a Special Placement Officer specialising in Military Planning and Operational Logistics, so whilst Soldiers may be making the actual Deliveries, there are others (like Myself) keeping all of the Supply Lines fully supported and Operational.
AMAZING DRILLS at 9:23. Wow.
LMAO nearly knocks himself out with blanks oh dear 😂😂😂
Batting off those NFCI's
The RLC deliver far more dangerous supplies than mere bullets. Food for field canteens for example. They transport it. Then the Catering Corps destroy it ;)
I’m a truck driver for a living. If it ever come it to. Royal logistics would be the branch I’d like to join.
Do it. You'll earn more, probably get more holidays and cheaper housing.
Hayzy I’m 36, guess I’m getting on abit for Army life? I’m not to bad fitness wise as I run a lot etc but think my age might be against me. Wish I 20 again. I’d do things different.
@@Andyb2379 join the Royal logistic corps reserve. I'm a truck driver for a living and I'm currently joining up as a reservist, and I'm 45!
@@Andyb2379 reserves. You can be pretty much any age for that I think
Silver fox nice one. I might actually look in to it in the new year. Might learn something to improve myself on Civey Street.
Good old RLC (Reme Luggage Carriers). Joking apart we need them or nothing happens.
Great document . Congrats from. 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
nice one from Churchill: "Victory is the beautiful, bright coloured flower, transport is the stem, without which it never could have blossomed"....
Keyboard warriors on here slagging off the RLC. How long do you think the Infantry can stay on the front line without food, water and ammo......the answer is not very long. During the Second World War drivers of ammo trucks of the RSC (the predessor unit of the current RLC) had some of the highest casuality rates as quite understandable enemy aircraft targetted supply lines to the front line.
Our unsung heroes 😊
Unsung heroes
They drive it in a big frigging Tonka truck. Marvellous.
Hello they do a great job and very brave keep it up my grandad was In the British army as a sergeant sergeant major and had 1000s men under him fighting In Japan and India and different parts of the world sir slim rank too so thank you his true story there more
Big love for the loggies
In the 1980,s it was the RCT,s role to deliver logistics. We drove road vehicles that got stuck on a bannana skin. Foden's . Glad to see less time is now needed to pull the trucks out.
2:43 "ooo we're on camera boys i cant wait to show people how remfy we look"
Grow up! if it wasn't for the REMY's as you call them, you'd have eff-all to use to play the hero!...................
@@georgebuller1914 xD remf mot remy. if it wasnt for the infantry you wouldnt have a job to do mate xD grow a pair and take banter, can obviously tell youre going to join RLC when you have your first pubic hair mate
@@Fellowwelshman Blimey, a squaddie who can spell - I am impressed........
@@Fellowwelshman I’m joining up the RLC and I’ll tell you now mate it’s definitely an important role...
@@nathanjames4064 2 years too late mate, it’s called banter I suggest you get a sense of humour if you want to join the army 😂
Bacon for the front line. Good job. 👍👍👍
48Hr delivery by Hermes, would of done it better.
I saw the Royal Logistics Corps on guard duty at The Tower of London. They wash up well too.
4:23
Do want to be seen orrr....nnot?
Logistics.
Everyone loves what it brings but hate doing it.
9:20 nice aimed opening shot lol
You've clearly never shot at night 😂✌
@@AnonymousDefence0604 Ah but yes I have and that has nothing to do with bad weapon handling. Looked like he was about to drop his rifle and possibly killed a mate. Not to mention turning off safety with his left hand. Clearly, you've never passed basic weapon handling. Or even basic training for that matter. Glue bag. The only passing out you've ever done is to faint.
@@KillingDeadThings Alright cadet 😂😂 He never turned safety off with his left hand he switched it to semi, are you sure you know what you're on about
@@AnonymousDefence0604 yawn
Good job lads #remf
The proverbial customer service this lol
Considering the tight finances and the decreasing numbers; the British army is still the best in the world. You make the whole country very proud indeed.
Bullets? You mean crayons, Shirley?
In 23 years as an RAC and INF Soldier I can't remember the RLC ever delivering anything to the Front Line. That was always done by Individual Unit A1 Echelons. As they say "Send their Dhobi forward"
FOBs/PBs were routinely resupplied by stackers during Herrick/Telic. That said the concept of cutting out the A1 man and delivering straight to the troops in conventional is a relatively new concept being trialled under the STRIKE concept
March 13th 2022, I hope they’ve got it down pat by now, could be a handy skill to have!
Lt Col Craig Hanson was a 2LT in my old Regt, we called him LT MMMbop
:)
Major, major sort your chuffin hood out on your smock 😂😂😂
We love the old blanket stackers, But a vital requirements for a n Army to survive,
Looks at light threw csw sight hmmmmm
My passion
Would it not have made more sense to swap drivers?
Great idea 👍 if there wasn't so much red tape and paperwork involved in swapping over vehicles onto a different regiments account.
Drop the flats off with the hookloader?
A thankless job but nonetheless vital. That bit about the rockets was interesting, didn't know they could arc to hit the top of the tank. This will probably sound like a silly question but why such a big restriction on usage? Is there a law about it or are they just particularly expensive to produce?
Massive costs aye. Don’t know about the NLAW but the Javelin costs about 75000 dollars per round.
They buy them from abroad and have enough for a couple of years same as with shells
What to look out for knowing it's full of ammo
About 3 minutes in. That banding.
These my dreams job
What is it with Ruperts and cap badges?
Quicker than Amazon, they do not deliver on time and that is even it you a 'Prime' customer. Well done.
All these guns and ammo the government is making in the U.K. but us civilians can’t own a handgun in 9mm.
Or any caliber other than sub 6ft pound air
You can in Northern Ireland!
Great britian never die
I wish McDonalds treated me like a customer.No fees charged.
There is no cower of darkness.
9:24 CSM WTF are you doing? 😂
Bullets? Really forces tv? Do you mean ammunition or rounds perhaps?
I think you may need to research the difference. They are delivering bullets (the projectile) which will be fitted to a round or case at a later point in time.
9.29 quick reaction eh?
I'm guessing in boxes?
poor banding there at 3:11 , those munition tins will never make it to a destination banded like that :/ :/
Hope its not like Zulu Dawn and can get the ammo quick !!!!!
UK GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVEST MORE ON IT MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND UNCLEAR WEAPONS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL.....UK GOVERNMENT SHOULD RECRUIT MILITARY PERSONNEL...UK MILITARY PERSONNEL ARE TOO SMALL....UK GOVERNMENT NEED 2.5 MILLION MILITARY PERSONNEL...MORE WAR SHIPS 584O NEEDED..AIRCRAFT CARRIERS..8 NEEDED NOT 2....AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM IS NEEDED. BECAUSE USA AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM IS OLD. RUSSIA HAVE THE BEST..LIKE S300.S400... S500 ..S700 ..UK ..GOVERNMENT SHOULD WEAKUP...WE ALL SEE WHAT IRAN DOES TO UK..PROPERTIES IN THE STRET OF HUMUS. TAKING UK TANKERS
This is the military Royal Mail basically
Braz123Gaming YT
: Yes, but more efficient than the RM.....at least they (RLC) usually deliver to the correct address :-)
DROPS still hanging on! 🤞
Old spice ring tone 5:46
OP HERRICK V111
This is why the symbol for logistics is a crescent moon; the loggies deliver at night.
Sorry mate but what are you talking about?
@@sausagedog98 Sorry; it must be an American thing. On many items (ration cases come to mind), a crescent moon is stenciled.
@@petesheppard1709 over here in the UK the RLC capbadge is an almagam of the five corps that were joined together to create the RLC. It features a star, crossed axes and a shield but no crescent moon. The crescent moon you speak of is NATO code for class 1 or food supplies, supplying these is an integral part of the RLCs job though
@@sausagedog98 Thanks for the details! :) I try to always be open to learning something. ;)
I wouldn’t have driven off without securing the load first, especially when off road. Trogs over Logies any day...
They were under fire...
@@nathanjames4064 No they weren’t.
@@eddiegremlin Didn’t watch the video did you...
@@nathanjames4064 where were they?
@@eddiegremlin Oh you really are an idiot... They were training, they had blank rounds... Therefore they were reacting as if under fire, I can’t believe you’re this oblivious.
roll a big spliff of some Radway Green for me
As the British government were supplying British weapons to Libya which in turn were used against British soldiers in Northern Ireland and the Oman did you help in the delivery?
Why don't they have better weapon systems on the trucks? If they are going to the front line should they not have GPMG's or 50 cals on the trucks?
Big crates of tea
That bloke at the start is in dink.
Love British Army
I read "How the British Army delivers bullets to fortnite" 😂😂
Milton Roy not funny, you obviously didn’t
Atropia has been nothing but trouble for the Army for decades
4:28 his eyes
shell shocked haha
So the army has 90 AT missiles for training every year? Doesnt seem much.
'08 Musa Qala, Afghan.....Down to 2 pints of water aday...ran out of .50 cal....low on 7.62...had to get the Yanks to give us supplies as our Really Lazy Corp was useless....
2003 IRAQ No CBA, Still Wearing Temperate Green DPM. No Desert Boots. Fuel, Water and Rations from the Yanks. Told to Cease Firing as there was no more Ammo in the Supply Chain. RLC seemed to have everything though, Just didn't seem to share it out with the Frontline Troops.
I’m 16, joining in a few months so I can get HGV licences and serve our nation. 🇬🇧
Best wishes from 🇬🇧
how'd it go?
Good old loggies!
It's great to always see these rear echelon units go on about they are the HEARTBEAT of the army, and that without them the army would never be able to goto war! Yes these units do a important job, but the INFANTRY went to war long before these other units were ever thought of. Every unit in the army, or any other branch of the military. Are there to help the INFANTRY do the fighting. No matter how good or how big and expensive your equipment or even your plane or ship is. You cannot win the battle until the infantry soldier pick's up his weapon and fights his way up the hill. These guy's are Amazon in uniform, chefs are cooks in uniform, driver's are truckers in uniform etc etc. But infantry are SOLDIERS!
Everyone is a soldier first and your trade comes second. Isn't that what we're taught during basic?
@@dantuicakau214 You are obviously NOT from an infantry unit. As that is a comment that NONE combat troops love to come out with. There is a massive difference from just being in the Army, and being a Soldier. You my friend were just in the Army!
@bwkid 1.Thanx for clarifying that. Will keep that in mind.
bwkid1
: Don't forget though, the infantry needs support too (from artillery, armoured units and aircraft). Its always a "joint effort" in a major war.
@@paganphil100 No one is saying the infantry don't get or need support. But that is my point EVERY unit in the force's are there to support the infantry. No matter what happens in a war, you haven't won until the infantry take the position. All other units specialise in their job. The infantry are the ones who specialise in soldiering. Some joins the army to be a cook, so they are a cook. Some joined to be an engineer, so they are an engineer. Some joined to be a driver, so they are a driver. But the infantry joined to be soldier's, so hey are the one's who are soldier's. We don't mouth about being nurses, because we have done a medic course. We don't mouth about being a signaler, because we have done a coms course. But everyone in the army mouth's about being a soldier, because they do a couple of weeks combat training in a year. To be a SOLDIER you need to live as a soldier every day. It takes 21+ weeks basic infantry training to be able to join a unit. Then you are classed as a raw recruit for MINIMUM 3 year's. And that's doing real infantry training EVERY day. We don't do your jobs, so please don't mouth about doing ours.
Would it not be easier just to swap trucks if they're of the same type? 9:20 for goodness sake give the lad a Bren.
So basically 9 mistral missiles are 9% of UK's mistral missile stockpile .....☺😊😊
10% of the British Army Annual allocation of missiles to be used for training.
In other words the British Army is allowed or budgeted to use 90 missiles per year, unless a situation develops.
Patel Rohan: The guy in the video was talking about how many are allocated for TRAINING purposes.....in war time there would obviously be many more available.
Its like an army drug deal
How is it
I hope they take the cases, primers and powder to the front line with the bullets.
Don't be petty!
+5:16 Why fire 10% of the training stock of NLAWs at ~£30,000 a time instead of using a simulator ?
2:59 does he really need that face paint?
Yes
HI MATSIMUS
lol
Matsimus was REME.
Harry B He's saying Hi as Matsimus usually has a tendency to pop up on comment sections
Using 10% of the allocated missiles for the year, just on a training exercise. That's shocking. (VET) Royal Engineerers 9 Sqn 🇬🇧
@Paul Pugh Plenty of advertising money to virtue signal their inclusiveness though. It's more important to be 'Woke'. Harry and Meghan tell us so.
@Paul Pugh Notice how they can always find a female for an interview, the producer was just upset she was white.
10%!!!! Divert all foreign aid to the services, add the £16bn from our EU payments that’s £32bn we will have extra each year. A war is coming, we all know it. China and Russia are brewing for a conventional conflict to get more land/assets and sea space. We all know it. Out politicians always react too late, 1913, 1938, 1982, Iraq II and Afghanistan with troops going out without enough firepower, or the right equipment. Take a leaf out of America’s book and hit the other side with everything we have until they stop firing.
9 missiles she said they had to use!
This looks like it’s in Birmingham
09:23 debatable first 3 😉
9 missiles are 10% of total annual allocation? That seems a pure lie or they're in a terrible condition...
... In a white van crashing under a low bridge......
Why would you exploit this??
