The Army had 22 Divisions in the Pacific during WWII. The Marines had only 6. The largest contested beach landing in history happened at Normandy, with zero Marines present. There were more than twice as many Army divisions than Marine divisions present at Okinawa. Half the US regiments involved in the Inchon landings in the Korean war were US Army. The Marines' most famous victory at Iwo Jima still had an Army regiment present with them. The list goes on, and on, and on. So, sorry ace, the myth of the Marines coming ashore on a contested beach being something unique to them is an utter fantasy. The Army has done it more often, on a larger scale and completely without the Marine's support, which is something the Marines never accomplished without the Army. All that said, The Marines are largely abandoning the contested beach landing as a viable tactic because modern weapons have made it far too costly a venture. The Navy is moving towards a much smaller Marine Corps focused on seizing uncontested littorals, setting up and protecting air defense and long range precision fires to make space for the Navy's ships closer to the shore. It seems like a good mission for them and fills a critical need as blue water vessels become more vulnerable to long range shore based weapons. That said, by its very design, will attempt to keep the Marines away from combat, not fling them into it, so thump your chest a little softer m'kay?
So we're going to call our drones "Air Small Systems"? ASS? [EDIT]: Okay, now I know this is pure fantasy. I can tell because: 1. Soldiers riding on bench troop seats in the back of the open-topped Light Infantry Vehicle; not strapped down with Reflective belts.

We were told that as a brigade we were expected to kill a division before we died. So 3-4 times our size. To break even we had to kill 4 tanks for every one we lost. So far our kill ratio is about 25 to 1. That is a hell of a kill ratio.
Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF), really? It's a LIGHT TANK. Why does the Army refuse to call a spade a spade? US Army: "Because it's not a spade, it's a Soldier Portable Field Emplacement Creation Device (SPFECD)."
The reasons are - Designed around people that might not be familiar with culture, like any (full on 0 social exposure). Basically a person who has scholar skills, can read, understand and read between intentions of words.

And I doubt "they" have backported the improvements back to VBS 3, given that BIS and BISim have officially separated. And because all o this training is obviously done on government computers, you can't have Joe messing around with settings, which means they are stuck with (I kid you not) controls and animations inherited straight from 2001.

The Joes will not care and get hemmed up, and entire training day was wasted. And at the end of the day, they'll go back to their barracks and play the newest version of Call of Battlefield Honor with fancy graphics, silky smooth animations and controls. And maybe, just maybe, some of them are motivated enough to play ArmA 3 (which has relatively modern graphics, animations, and controls) with a few realism mods (e.g. ACE3, ACRE2) with similarly motivated people online (whom may or may not even be in the military), and unironically get better training from that than whatever VBS 3 could offer. Let's not even mention "America's Army", which was another can of worms lol.
So the "enemy" doesnt have support battalions, artillery, drones, arial support, proper counterattack etc. Yeah you should have added nuclear strike in attacking force arsenal too since its so much fantasy
Yeah this is a brigade vs a batallion, for some reason? And the brigade has plenty of armor (despite being air-dropped nearby) but the "home team" doesn't have so much as a single tank? It's nonsense, may as well show a tiger beating up a puppy

Thanks a lot military industrial complex for making even more useless shit we don't need for 4x the price it should be.
Apparently, the Standard Division, Heavy will have Stryker BCTs and the Standard Divsion, Light is leg infantry with motorized transport. Evidently, they won't fight from the ISVs, but will dismount short of the objective to advance on foot. Now, whether that will happen in actual pratice, is something I doubt.
What is it with the Army’s word salads now. “Multi domain omni directional confrontation” yeah? You mean a front, like in every war ever? We aren’t the first batch to use and fight in land, sea, air and orbit. “Multi role stealth” yeah holy shit its like you can use something for multiple purposes. “Tactical mobility”… you mean menuevering?? “Combat variance” oh ok so the standard issue unit.

And yet none of this has been practiced in the field. Still stuck on insurgent doctrine, with a static FLOT.
What is it with the Army’s word salads now. “Multi domain omni directional confrontation” yeah? You mean a front, like in every war ever? We aren’t the first batch to use and fight in land, sea, air and orbit.
“Multi role stealth” yeah holy shit its like you can use something for multiple purposes.
“Tactical mobility”… you mean menuevering??
“Combat variance” oh ok so the standard issue unit.
Like holy shit guys… officers try not souping up the English language for another medal
China: we copy that..
To anybody watching that thinks about joining if your qualified just do it . This video is all non sense you most likely won't get to do any of these cool things in the video and might be sent to war with a broken weapon and have to buy your own sling with your own money. The reason is you will get to do stuff not in the video that will stay with you for your life . Also you get to retire at 20 years with a pension at 39 years old .
-"Your injuries are not service related"
-"WHAT? I CANT HEAR YOU!"
@@shotya9403 even if they are you still have to fight them for the Money you will get it . I'm still rich just because I have free healthcare for life and it probably saved my life already. If I had normal healthcare I would still be scared to go to the doctor and most likely dying of Cancer.
@@DrDabb47 Many veterans who got out just get simply ditched, become homeless. It does suck that many people who served their country end up in such a bad state.
Im glad that some are able to benefit from it and actually get the benefits they are entitled to, but still many end up in shit situations when they leave the army.
@@shotya9403 I'm realistic when I talk to people about joining the military. Most people would benefit if they are qualified . Im still fighting for my full compensation but the healthcare thing is a big deal when u have to use it .
@@DrDabb47 Being realistic is way better than telling the fairy tale of COD IRL
The MPF looks like a Panther...
Literally ARMA 1 lol
None of this gear will make any difference if we keep doing the fighting an unwinnable war thing people won't keep enlisting for that shit either by the way
Looks like they're fighting the Chinese 😂😂😂 Taiwan conflict maybe????
Your PID is terrible
Thats soviet equipment, literally SSH helmets and cold war weapons
The camo is something along the lines of a VSR variant.
The army intentionally uses them, since its the definite most basic ass conventional force that countries evolved from.
Mts mogu i kakvisufuj al stazio i eho itd hihihi

No it's not, that's russian Flora or VSR one of the two from the 80s
