Ahhh the hardest part of a contact / firefight in my opinion trying to locate the firing point/ positions , ive been shot at quite a few times ( as i imagine lots of others here in comments section have too ) and hand on heart only seen the " enemy" a few times i always found night time contacts easier with muzzle flash ect , day time 90 percent of the time you can forget about it 😂, " likely enemy positions" is your friend lol
@@lfz2946 I did write a massive long reply here but RUclips overlords seems to delete a lot of my comments for some reason , it took me about ten mins lol , so in short yes sometimes but no most of the time it does not with the confusion and everything else mixed in you haven't really got time to sit and Annalise for the crack and thump sound , experience and 6th sense is what is more important and combat indicators before the actual contact will give you a good clue where about the enemy may be , the experience only comes at the expense of being exposed to danger over and over though so comes at an expense lol ,
@@lfz2946I ain’t the guy but due to how sounds travels it can be weird with how it bounces off of buildings and objects like trees or rocks or even hills and mountains, you can generalize if you don’t think the sounds is just bouncing from behind you if that makes sense
Yeah... six section battle drills if trained properly will never leave the system. And I must admit I do enjoy going thru it again especially with such excellent presentation. The Finger method was my favourite, very clear, never misunderstood, really something that worked even with new blokes in squad.
I found this channel just three days ago. It was suggested to me by RUclips. I have to say that I am extremely excited about the videos I have seen so far! There's nothing I hate more than bad videos from stupid RUclipsrs who seem completely crazy and neurotic and only make unprofessional videos from which you can learn practically nothing! Unfortunately, there are relatively few serious channels and this one is definitely one of them! What I like best here is that everything is explained very objectively, absolutely sensibly and comprehensibly, without any childish or affected posturing! A channel that is just as professional, but cannot easily be compared with this, is: "Ranger Survival and Field Craft" which I would expressly recommend. Thank you very much for the work you have done here and the time you have spent on it! I'm looking forward to more videos! With best regards from Germany!
Don't believe the hype...many events we get to hear about and see in my humble opinion are false and manufactured,this manufacturing of an event is to cause the masses who hear about the said event to REACT in a WAYS that are PREDICTED by the slippery sneaky involved in deceiving the masses by causing a MANUFACTURED EVENT. This TECHNIQUE OF DECEPTION is very cunning very clever and most of all very EFFECTIVE and is used very FREQUENTLY it has many different names. It is known as THE HEGALEAN DIALECTIC other wise known poshly and sounding like I'm very intelligent known as THESIS,ANTITHESIS,SYNTHESIS....I break it down even more to simplest format other wise known as PROBLEM,REACTION,SOLUTION....and is twinned with its close friend they look alike known as (IN LATIN) ORDO AN CHAO (IN ENGLISH) ORDER OUT OF CHAOS) So don't be deceived with what were told by news media as usually the tell us what there ordered to tel! IS which is LYING BULLSHIT to fit in with the AGENDA that is being pushed upon us the public,you may not know this yet as it may of not clicked in your Barnet YET but you me us Joe public but not them,we are ALL PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE (HUER.......HAH HAH HAAAAAH!!)

When you on patrol you should be constantly looking for possible ambush sites and when you take contact and find if there any cover or concealment. If not you get down in the prown supported position. Call out the 3'Ds and have your Alpha team lay down suppressive fire. While the your Bravo team is flanking and bounding forward onto that enemies position.
Ranger beads. They are used to track pace count. 9 “100 meter” beads on one side, 4 “1km” beads on the other. Every time you complete a 100 meter leg on an azimuth, you move one bead on the “9” side. When you complete 1,000 meters (or 1 kilometer), you move all 9 beads back down, and move one of your “km” beads up. It is easy to lose count on a maneuver. Say you are on your 210 pace count (roughly 300 meters for me), and suddenly someone calls a halt and reports visual contact. You sit in the dark for 30 minutes scanning for light/movement and listening for noise, then the all clear is given. How far are you into your maneuver? Are you sure? Check your ranger beads.
This is gonna sound dumb but just bear with me... if you play games like battlefield or arma it can be a big help learning about this stuff on that by doing it there. I played bf4 for 5 years in a milsim for fun and it was one of the first few things we went over and it helped us out greatly in a team aspect. Now that i game casually (not in a milsim) we still play games occasionally and this is still very much how we wreck other less knowledgeable/cohesive teams. Also airsoft games are big for this too. Stick with a couple dudes and start going over the 3 "D"s (description(of contact whether civilian/friendly or enemy and be it person/vehicle/weapons emplacement, direction(with specifics if possible), distance= ex.: enemy tank, southeast- left of blue building, 650m)
I’d love to see all this info com piled into a field manual or book. I know it’s out there, but the way you teach I think a lot of people retain it better?
Is the range card for yourself or a document to submit ? Would you refer to it when engaging with your rifle ? Like the enemy is just in front and you can clearly see him. Or is the range card for calling mortar, machine gun support ?
Easier method to draw attention to points of reference is to call out clock points instead of “diagonal right (45 degrees) 50 meters” , is better minimised and shouted as “2 o clock, 50 meters”
I always thought when you react to contact you basically just mag dump in the direction of the enemy to start out. Maybe this is a GWOT hold over in a time where supply lines were simply not ever challenged. I've also heard stories of guys in Vietnam who would go on patrol with their standard 7 or 8 mags but then have an additional 8 in their pack, after running dry one time. Running out of bullets in a gun fight has got to be a bad bad feeling.
@@aussiecue Accuracy through volume. Also could be different doctrine between a "react to contact" vs "break contact" even within American doctrine. Maybe I'm just pulling things out of my ass
British soldiers are the best most professional soldiers in the world every one else looks to them as the STANDARD of professional soldiering.....down test adjust make ready...weapons free....STAY BLESSED
So.. american doctrine be like: Walk in the open untill enemomies see you and start taking pot shots out of range, than stand still, scream, freak out, fumble your equipment, than return fire, and wait for the air support... Ok... how about the rest of us?
