In the 90s as an active duty PSYOP soldier, we used to run missions on SF guys going through the Q course or training missions back at camp Rowe and Ft. Bragg. We did everything from sleep deprivation to calling out individual soldiers with personal and private information over loudspeakers. The SF guys hated us.
Awesome episode as usual. How to fix the sound problem: -Dress the windows with plenty of fabric to soften the hard surface of the glass. -Lay plenty of rugs on wood or tile floors. -Avoid framed artwork, as the glass from the frame adds another surface to bounce sound off. -Add acoustic foam or sound-proofing insulation to the walls or fix sound-proofing tiles
Good show and dead on. I was in CA mid 90's then went back in a few years into the GWOT. Not only did the Army not know what the CA mission is but after they expanded it CA did not know what they were supposed to do .
Great stories from the unsung brothers and sisters. I was deployed to TQ and never new half of this stuff was going on. Great interviews. We had the lioness program. My unit was tasked with essentially owning MS1 through FJ and Ramadi and back to TQ. EOD, Combat Engineers, MP's all patrolled that route and main routes, this was '06. Mixed in were females. Males searched males and females searched females if we stopped and dismounted patrol (provided own security and logistics). We were not special operations or anything high speed, but we are out building airfields and hasty fobs. Dealing with local nationals you need a female.
Good episode. NG here. I was at RPC doing base defense there in 2004-2005 w 10th & 5th. Spending 2 months at a team house just outside of the green zone was interesting as well.
I don't remember the 10th group team #, but 525 & 565 I believe was the 3rd team I dealt with. Navy Seals Rob & Dave were attached. Jack of clubs house. I only share for historical purposes.
Towards the end of the deployment, my FA battery was moved to Camp Slayer. What a horrible name for pshyop purposes. Just before Christmas was a bombing in a dining room hall on a compound. I remember spending Christmas Day searching the Presidential Palace in 2004 & what they called Flintstone Palace just beside it. Not open to the public being on a Camp, but an interesting place.
I also spent a couple nights just across Route Irish on Camp Victory guarding a VIP on an island in the middle of a moat from a tower on the edge. With my 117 GT score I can almost only ascertain that I was guarding Sadam Husein at Camp Victory at the time.
I had a friend that lit up a special needs kinda blind guy that got to close to their checkpoint. Smoked with a saw and then they found out from the family he wasn't all there mentally He stills feel shitty about it but you can't hesitate. War sucks
Hi Moses, thanks for watching! It gradually gets better. Our latest episodes were done through Zoom due to the virus and the audio is far better than it was when we recorded this.
Endurance is the issue with females. They physically can't perform at the same level as men for the same period of time. Physically they deteriorate quickly on extended deployments and start to lag.
1. It was not necessarily occupation. Alot of the countries people say we "occupied" actually asked us to come ans help them fix their country. 2. Most deployed U.S. Troops never harmed any civilians. Im talking the vast majority. The US isn't the big monster everyone says it is. Im not saying we're perfect but we are not all that.
@@justaguy4real it depends if they are reserve or not. Active Civil Affairs and Psyops are still under USASOC and do a lot of the same training in the pipeline the difference is their focus obviously the green berets are much more focused on being a fighting force while CA and Psyops is more of a strategic complement who have fighting capabilities but they are not trained or equipped to the level of the GB, devgru or rangers. The reserve components are under the reserve command they go through far less training Active components have long pipelines 40-50 weeks and a selection process similar to GB and at the same location for most. The reserves only have a 10 week and then separate officer training courses CA has a faster path to officer than psyops but both are AIT for the most part. Like other special forces the active CA and psyop will branch off into further training when they finish the pipeline the reserve will go onto drill.
Yes this is a bash, trolling, whatever you wanna call it. These guys with these shows trying to ride the coattails of real and true operators that wouldnt themselves do these lame shows, simply bc these shows are lame. Guys that were most likely and basically at the bottom of their respective units, as if it were measured like graduate school of students in the top/bottom half, top/bottom 10%, these guys doing these shows are not the top tier honor grads as they pretend to be, but sure, they're just able to make the claims without lying they were SEALS, SF, Rangers, Force Recon, and whatever else. Playing with and stroking each others egos relying on the accomplishments and reputations and badassness of the real Shooters and Operators that actually cant identify themselves past, present, or future with stories that can never be told. Whats the point of even doing these 'shows'? For notoriety and ego trying to boast and brag without likely hopefully being thought of as boasting and bragging. As a tier 1 this shit annoys me. This shit is basically like "Hey, me, look at me, I can do or did this stuff. I'm fucking cool" I bet most of them wear their 'highspeed' watches face down to be noticed, wear some 5.11 and all that shit; anything that stands out or screams "I'm an elite operator"
A) You weren’t Tier anything. B) You’ve obviously confused our show with somebody else’s. C) Our guests were CA and PsyOps. They didn’t claim to be Operators. D) If you don’t know the point of our show then you don’t watch it. We interview interesting people and record their personal histories. E) I don’t wear a watch.

The horizontal split screen brings back fond memories of Halo 2. Keep up the good work guys!
Thanks Alex and thanks for your efforts with the subreddit! We really appreciate it.

Have some more videos on psyops and civil affairs
Loved this. Hope you have them back in again.

CA should get a purple Beret.... yep, CA Purple.
I served at the MFO in the Sinai in 2009 -10. VP Biden visited then. I respect his respect for military service.
Did I just psyop myself?
that was so interesting
but also shocking!
Is there a civilian psyop program available for those interested?
Yeah. CIA
Not so much CIA, more like NSA and DHS if you’re talking about big abc cooperate jobs your pretty much I.T. as psyops now
😂 im sorry dude that comment was funny
Civil affairs needs their own tab
no, we need to blend in
16th Psychological Operations Battalion, it was fun.
Do you guys actually do any of the cool stuff special operations or infantry does?
@@Fyiaa95Oh yeah. PSYOPers (especially active duty) do a whole bunch of cool shit.
Good show.
Thanks Ash
Great conversation
Can you interview some of the guys from Arkansas NG?

“No Ahmad, ‘fire fighter’ not fire fight. You hose down fires, not people.”
GT score above 110, lol.
Should have pulled a CA guy with more knowledge about CA 🤣🤣
@PincheStrawberry if you were CA then you can speak for the present. There’s enough that know exactly what they do.
Ha! Great show.
Take two ACOGs and call me in the morning

Endurance is the issue with females. They physically can't perform at the same level as men for the same period of time. Physically they deteriorate quickly on extended deployments and start to lag.
Then the standards will clear that out.
Use caution as an arm chair quarterback
Marines tried all female infantry units and they failed miserably
At least to your credit you guys seem not OK with the casual shooting of a civilians in the country you were occupying
1. It was not necessarily occupation. Alot of the countries people say we "occupied" actually asked us to come ans help them fix their country.
2. Most deployed U.S. Troops never harmed any civilians. Im talking the vast majority. The US isn't the big monster everyone says it is. Im not saying we're perfect but we are not all that.
Guys i have a CA guy telling me we are on the same level as SF please tell me he’s wrong i been out for awhile but I don’t think they are SF
It depends on what he means by “level”. They have a totally different mission so can’t be compared in a 1:1 manner.

@@lokami2a807It sounds like utterly BS how the active and reserve training is so vastly different. Would they make them the same?
