- 'It's about as big as it gets'. That's the verdict of an American Commander on 'Exercise Rattlesnake' in Louisiana. They are hosting the 3rd Battalion The Rifles (3 RIFLES) who have flown 4,500 miles from Edinburgh to embed with US forces. The action has been taking place at Fort Polk, one of the top urban training environments in the world.

Lets not forget English speaking allies, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the rest. Very much capable, brave, and willing to stand and fight for freedom.
They only speak English because we colonised them hehe
Charlie Wootton that sentence doesn’t work over a text on a screen, nice try and I wasn’t trying to insult anyone just stating fact
We Brits never forget the contribution these countries have given for freedom. They were there with us at the start of WW1 and WW2. We thank you and appreciate all that you did.
Ireland
@@binladenaladen5163 northern Ireland for sure.
American and British soldiers are an overwhelming unstoppable force and I pity who ever is on the other side.
Americans alone is a overwhelming unstoppable force
Ur profile pick is my lock screen XD
Lets not abuse it but yes it is wonderful to have a partner.
@GastonGross "The English" are not your ally. The English dont have an army - neither do the others from UK- Scottish, Welsh, or Northern Irish. The BRITISH is what you mean. That's the British Army from the United Kingdom. The British Army is from Wales, Nothern Ireland , England and Scotland.
@GastonGross Don't quite get it do you?
long live the strongest brotherhood in the world love from the UK
Amen, much love from u.s. as well
United by heritage, language, culture, science, and philosophy. It will be very hard to dissolve the USA-Britain alliance.
Thank you brother. I wish all the best for our closest ally!
love from the sikhs
Much love brothers.
You gotta love the Americans. What other country has the balls to use Apache's with live firing on an exercise.
Matt D agreed, Americans are just on another level.. love our USA brothers!! :)
🇺🇸 🇬🇧!! Strongest duo in the world.
Allot of countries do. Russia and China do live chopper exercise. America rarely go into live battlefield with an Apache for support.
@@ShanksNLMB no they aren't. better infantry on average and better submarines. But as an overall force the US is overwhelmingly more powerful
@@ShanksNLMB its really just better training overall. They need to have better quality individuals as a whole to make up for their size.
Makes me so happy to see our brother like countries standing together with a middle finger against the world.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Damn right
English speaking work... Commonthwealth
from southern California, here here well said.
Mother and Son countries
From enemies to family ♥️
I served along side three rifles when I was in Iraq. They are definitely a great bunch of dudes and very motived to do their job.
I also have served with Brits on a few of my deployments. A fine bunch of men and women as well as, soldiers who are knowledgeable, well trained, flexible thinkers and generally a pleasure to live with. Very proud to count them among our dwindling allies. Wish I could say the same for the government of the UK which seems to be misguided, misaligned and mistaken. Much like my own country, the US, the UK appears to be wholly undeserving of the fine young men and women who voluntarily insert themselves into harm's way representing their country and its allies effectively, efficiently, with precision, pride, indomitable courage and great bravery. All done with honor and simply brilliant senses of humor. All of you Brits can be enormously proud of the incomparably fine young men and women in your nation's service.
🇬🇧🇺🇸brothers
Brothers now and forever. Our leaders may squabble but our people are joined by a bond stronger than any other. The Lion and Eagle can overcome any threat and have seen darkness defeated before and will stand as bulwark against it when it rises again.
Just don't throw out tea in the harbour again, lol
🇬🇧🇺🇸
As an American soldier I always enjoy working with the British Army. True professionals. Brothers in Arms!
While deployed to Iraq in 2003 always enjoyed talking to our British brothers. Also enjoyed training alongside them and other European militaries.
God bless our cousins the British. Welcome to America. You're family till the end.
Bless y'all too, much love 🇬🇧
Good to have our American cousins with us!!
Good to have you with us britbro.
Great Britain is USA's dad not cousin what are talking about lol.
Great Britain is fathers to New Zealand, Australia and Israel too.
206 guy - and time for this old man to live in his new retirement home...one room at the annals of history.
Nocturnal Recluse Cold War 2 is upon us. Great Britain isn't going to the retirement home yet. If Hillary gets elected it will be US and UK vs Russia. Britain has already sent troops to Russia's border. No lie.
It is incredible to see 2 great countries fighting together!
I can see NATO dissolving in the future but I dont believe I'll ever see the u.s. and british alliance dissolving.
Which is weird because the u.k. was at one point in time our most hated enemy.
At one point the British were the 13 colonies .... The US comes from the English.
Soft Poor Corn ✅✅✅
@@alanandconnielast No it doesnt. British does not mean English.
I’ve heard people say our biggest enemy’s can be our biggest friend
@Matthew Smith Strange how narratives get skewed over time. Ex. Paul Revere's ride, "The British are coming..!" He actually said "The Regulars are coming..!". He considered himself, as did all residents of the 13 colonies, British. And prior to 4th of July 1776 that is indeed what they were.
Be wary of people that seem to want to re-write the narrative as they tend to have an agenda. On this subject it's relatively harmless. On other subjects, not so. Ex. 1619 Project.
Nocturnal Recluse!!! It wouldn't be natural to fight without our American guys!! U.S and British Soldiers the best in the world.
Agreed
What about Israel?😂😂
Two very professional armies, stay safe !
I don't know how I found myself here but Bless our British allies! Much love from the US 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bless y'all too much love 🇬🇧
God bless USA from UK
Blessing obliged and sent back your way UK bretherin! Stronger together!
God save the Queen, from the US.
(It almost feels weird saying that, especially not wanting to be a Monarchy and all, except that Queen Elizabeth is such a strong. smart and classy lady I've always thought that if ever anyone HAD to have a queen, I couldn't think of a better one to have than her.)
That strong lady stole trillions of worth of jewels and resources from other countries. She is evil.
Best at looting from countries. Her crown is from countries like India.
Thanks you sir, he sure has a lot of patience with us that's for sure.
Love seeing our fellow Brits fight alongside us! It’s just amazing to see our long lasting friendship grow!
Very cool to see Brits training side by side with our guys. Welcome to Louisiana, gentlemen! If you get off base, don't get in trouble, it's very easy to do in LA lol.
Welcome brits!.
Nice welcoming, mate. I was born in England. I love the USA and the UK.
Boi Boi likewise brother
Joe Cook have you been to the us? If so where?
what a alliance,a few hundred years ago we killed each other now we die for each other...
I want to Believe British soldier in Louisiana. "At least it's not 1814 and Andrew Jackson isn't trying to kill us "
lol
We fought Brits not Americans.. The 13 Colonies were British. Make an effort, the US comes from the UK.
Once the declaration was signed they became Americans. Their children born here were Americans.
@@stephens2007 Canadians are also Amaricans then. America is continent. Anyone on those lands would be defined as American.
Although in reality, it's evident that the US and Canada are European / British colonies. Nothing more and nothing less.
Due to size, investment and structure created by the founders who were European by the way. Gives the USA it's success today.
If the 13 colonies were Spanish we would not be speaking right now. And I most definitely would not be speaking Spanish.
Long live the UK and USA. Much love from the states. 👍
My Roots are From England,.Scotland, Wales and Ireland !!! We will Always be Family !!! Love you guys,..Glad you Trained in The States !!! Come back for Holiday....I will personally Show you around......
Love to see this im American and am glad we have such a close relationship with the British and the best soldiers in the world training together like this only strengthens our bond also ive been to England twice and the cultural differences are there but still were similar in some ways 🇺🇸🇬🇧
much love 🇬🇧
Respect for soldiers 🇬🇧🇺🇲 🕊️ .Great respect for good and effective alliances.For peace.
Good to see them working together. :)
I feel sorry for the Brits. They came all the way across the Atlantic and had to go to Fort Polk? Everybody hates that place. It's like being sent to hell. Even NTC at Fort Irwin is less shitty.
That's the point...to give them the most possible realistic sequence.
We Brits when we're going through hell: we keep going ;) don't worry yanks, we'll sort it out!
Clinton A I'd say Louisiana is a good place to train if your going to fight somewhere like Sub-Saharan Africa or Southern Philippines . Those places have active terrorist movements too . After training I hope they got fed some good Cajun food and had a party in New Orleans . Louisiana wasn't much fun for the British back in 1814 either . US and UK , great allies now .
atomic3939 Wasn't there a movie made back in the 90s where a Jewish kid from New York City was sent to Fort Polk for boot camp back in WW2 ? Christopher Walken was the Drill Instructor . A recruit took a couple of steps into the river and plunged in over his head . LOL !
Did you notice how much said Brits were still loving it?
I feel for the Brits. The couple of times I got to train in England the Beer was great. The food was a little bland, but it was fun.
Here in the States, unless you are getting into the micro-brews, the beer in terrible. We didn't have micro-brews when I was in. Occasionally watered down European or Canadian beers.
There is a lot of fun here. A friend of mine is from the UK. Dave goes nuts here in our book stores.
its great to have the Brits on our side
Its great to have y'all with us too
It’s so funny how we absolutely hated them back in the day and now they’re one of our closest allies. Nobody can stop that force 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Scott S are you American?
Never really hated them honestly. Many people back then were torn. In fact many foinding fathers tried several times to get representation or the ability to govern ourselves but remain part of the crown. They would have been happy with that outcome. Sadly King George wouldnt hear any of it (cause money).
Even after the war the US sent diplomats to the UK to try to mend relations with the crown.
By "back in the day" do you mean hundreds of years ago, far before you were even born?
Rather be with our American brothers than with the EU - anyday.
LOL.... Greetings from California
Erm most EU countries are in NATO anyway, it’s not an either/or
@Boi Boi im in the same position, i want to become a royal marine, i would die on american soil to protect our nations
@@phillipmorrison9607 With plans for an EU specific army becoming reality, I'd like to look back at this comment in 10 years and see how well it's aged.
@@Dezzasheep as part of the EU ths UK had a veto on military policy so yeah, I'd agree with brexit the thing you don't want to happen is now more likely. There's a chance it would weaken NATO, again thanks to brexit, but the idea we wouldn't be in a coalition with EU countries as well as the US in a major conflict is silly.
British Troops are Always welcome Here.....
Just not back in 1776
I don't know why, but there's just something wholesome about watching soldiers of different countries kicking ass together and just being bros. God bless America and God bless Britain!
Super step up into human history.
British training and fighting along side w the U.S.
This is beautiful.
These boys finaly see clear skies, somthing thats rare in the UK
0:31 "methodically" - jumps head first through window
Lol nice catch 😂🤣😂😂
*🇺🇸 🇬🇧!!* Strongest duo in the world.
Yeah dude its good that our cousins are fighting together.
cousins lol.. You mean Father and Son.. xD
+Ryan Payne
He clearly hasn't seen any Polandball Lol!
Yep
Are you stupid their our cousins 😂 it’s been that saying for over 200 years
Collaboration is key, our special forces were modeled after British SF. I’m glad to see us working together and making each other better. Hope to see more in the future.
Fr bro I love our American cousins
United our two countries stand together. Proud of both countries.
"Operation Rattlesnake Glow-worm" was a JTE between US National Guard soldiers from Pennsylvania and Her Majesties 5TH Royal Green Jackets. We trained at Catterick, and Warcop Training Area with the Brits. That was in 1993. Glad to see that these cooperative operations are still going on.
I remember me and some reservists were training at JBLM and we met these British soldiers at a bar in Tacoma. We talked and they were shocked how well the armed forces in America were treated so well when they were given Military Discounts. Some of them said that was the first time they felt glad to be a soldier when training in the States.
Great to see the 2 forces working together.America has no closer friend in the world than England.
It's the United Kingdom.
Yes, we're 4 countries in United as 1.
"The United kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland "
Well - It was an English colony which is why they identify the country with England not realizing as it was just England when started the U.S colony.
Great report! I caught up with the CO and RSM of the 1st LANCS last week.
Good thing is,is that we have the best resources on the planet and the best troops in the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The most resources with some fine troops but the British have much less resources with the best troops.
I encourage the UK troops visiting the US for training, make use of all that funding they get... and maybe the local culture ;)
France and Germany also have training bases in the U.S.
@@orlock20 France and Germany have not fought and won a war let alone a battle in how long? Pfftt.... They serve the E.U not the English speaking alliance.
@@alanandconnielast Lmfao france and germany clown us for our military spending and then start bitching when we threaten to pull out of Nato and the EU.
So cool to see the U.S and our big brothers working together. Love the US 🇺🇸 , and love the UK 🇬🇧
nice to see the new virtus kit in action
I wonder what the British thought of the weather? The summers are long, hot and humid & the winters are cold & wet. It rains year round (that part they're probably used to)
Fort Polk is about 2 hours or so from my house. We use to pass by the entrance when I was little and always get hyped up seeing the M1-Abrams at the gate entrance back in the day, but I think they took it down now.
Always brothers.
Good to see our brotherhood is still great. I will give a shout out too our other brothers. Canada. Australia. New Zealand and fierce Gurkas all equally great warriors. Big salute. Proud of them all 👍
As an American it's very interesting to have found this source of information regarding our dear allies. Thanks so much!
Awesome. More anglo-american military cooperation and integration!
Love the Brits. The SAS was the first special forces. Great allies , great people......many are our cousins. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
The United States of America leads the way! Great to have the Brits at our side!
Last year my dad was in iraq on his sexond mission and he trained the jrtc in tactics. I even have a jrtc t shirt
I read this training was in the US while under fire and I was like were is this Chicago?
The Royal marines have been training with the 2nd battalion here in Australia just recently.
I had to smile at the Brits toward the end saying they were glad to get the chance to come to America. I've trained at JRTC, and in the US army, Fort Polk is frequently described as the one post in the US army that actually _is_ as bad as everyone says it is. And if you get a pass to go off post, you have the great metropolis of Leesville, LA, population 6000. JRTC is a great place to train. But when you're on your own time... Ugh.
Oh shiz props to the UK for having the kahunas to train with our live firing madness
Can you do a more recent video on Vertice
Loved the way he jumped in that window 😂😂
good stuff being shown
Oh I love it! Watch out baby here it comes!
Came to see how my USEC brothers from the other side of the pond train.
Like the new squad update, British and Us now can fight together
Proud to see a geordie in the mix
Very beauty
Britain can take it
God bless America and our UK brothers across the Atlantic. USA+UK=Brothers now always and forever 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
The UK, Canadians, Australians and the French are all great allies with America. Love all those countries.
Nice
I love the special relationship. Important obviously in both world wars. All the English speaking countries were allies in them of course. Except Ireland. Sat out both world wars because they hate Britain too much. Northern Ireland in world war two were very much an ally and key in helping the allies. Churchill particularly thanked northern Ireland in a post war speech.
Churchill near the end of his political career advised Britain in the future to never leave her. Her being the USA.
He knew there was a new sheriff in town for the future, the United states. World power and dominance, leading and carrying the flag for democracy and freedom.
And we all might remember churchill's mother was American. Like mine was.
Not to bore or carry on, but I do like 20th century history.
Joe Cook I think you need to do a bit of research, while Southern Ireland was neutral, many thousands of Irishmen fought with British regiments and many died in both world wars
@@douglasspencer745 oh. Didn't know. I maybe assumed some did. Don't know how a neutral country can choose a side and enlist. But anyway, good job northern Ireland. Do they at least get credit in your book?
And don't get me wrong, I'm not against the Irish. People are people, all that.
If I was Irish I would be all Irish, proud of it. I would hate the British because what else would I have to think about. Like al Qaeda and ISIS, take away USA hatred and they have nothing. Sad.
@@joecook5689 you clearly have no idea of the complexity of the northern Ireland issue, ...many fought for the united kingdom of great Britain and northern Ireland back then and many still do! Do us a favour lad......research 100 years of this subject and commit yourself ....then you might understand why the protestant northern irish fight under the union flag! No offence intended
@@damienelliott4906 ok
should have gone to fort hood
Spartan Brigade. They should have all the luck!
I wonder why they don't use chalk simunition and therefore give themselves the option to incorporate OPFOR. Maybe they already do that back on the island.
I had a dream to join British army as a commonwealth citizen am from AFRICA Kenya I applied through online but I only failed to get a sponsor who can host me for only 2months my dream faded away am now 23yrs old I wish I could get a host am still with a passion to join my brothers being a soldier is what is inborn
Good lads love our boys training with their allies from across pond
Peace?Love
These Brits sound stoked. "They have real enemy aircraft firing live rounds at us!" LOL
You love it your American big brother .
3:14
pretty sure the mortar supposed to be more stable...
US GB, STRONGER TOGETHER THAN EVER.
Hopefully the Brits might do some training here in California’s Mojave desert in Fort Irwin as well.
3:15
*Gah!*
Also a bunch of American soldiers were lucky to come to the uk to train with royal forces
haha i live on salisbury plain so i know how fucking big that training area must be
Thats not a apache its a Ford fiesta with max upgrades
Anyone else notice the 3 Rifles get special forces gear?
It just the new Virtus body armour, all infantry roles will soon have it is they haven't already. Nothing new here...
❤🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧❤
And no-one's talking about the lad who jumps throws himself through the window hole?
They don't look like the 501st to me, where's the white and blue armour?
Also to note: British soldiers stated seeing a ghostly figure resembling Andrew Jackson cussing them out from time to time
By the way it's an ocean obviously not a pond
Why don't the Brits get Apache and 50 cal. support ? After all, They deserve it.
bigearedmouse17. It is available but not for training ( 50 cals are lesser used by the british)
Dude we have apache and .50 cal .......why spend that money on training if the U.S. wants to provide it for us? Your defence budget is more than our national budget, no offence implied if you're yank as i love our unity
Question for somebody to answer. I served in "B" Co. 1st Bn. 501st Inf.(ABN) in the 101st Airborne Div. in Vietnam '67- '68. The 501st was part of the 101st since WW-2. In this video it shows the 501st as part of the 25th Inf. Div. which is a leg division. What the hell is happening to the !01st....our unit crest used to say GERONIMO! Can someone explain?
In the restructuring to the U.S. Army regimental system, the 1st Bn, 501st Infantry was inactivated at Fort Campbell on 5 June 1984. In October 1989 the 501st Regiment was reorganized under the U.S. Army Regimental System with headquarters at Fort Richardson, Alaska. Simultaneously, 1st Bn (Abn), 501st Infantry was assigned to the 6th Infantry Division and activated at Fort Richardson. The 6th, formed when the 172nd Infantry Brigade was expanded to a division, was inactivated during the post-Cold War draw down and reverted again to the 172nd Infantry Brigade (United States). The 1st Bn (Abn), 501st Inf was made a separate battalion combat team for a short period of time, around which the 4th Brigade (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division was constructed, where it serves to this day. Of the three original parachute regiments organic or attached to the 101st Airborne Division in World War II, the 501st remains as the only unit on jump status.
Randal Wansing.....Thank you so much for your response. You apparently are very up to date on the Army and as you can see I am an old troop. I am totally confused and don't understand why the Army changed up their TO&E so radically. First, I have never even heard of the 6th ID or the 172nd Inf. Bde.! Where and when did they come from? The 173rd Abn. Bde. I'm familiar with but not the 172nd. Why would they put an airborne batt.(501) with a leg div.(25th) in the first place?
I hope you understand my confusion. Ironically, when I got in country with the 101st in 1967 we (1st 501st) went to Cu Chi and spent the first month with the 25th ID at their base camp fighting in the Ho Bo woods alongside the the 3/4 Cav. and the 2/27 Wolfhounds......they were one tough group of infantrymen!
Would you kindly do me a favor and tell me what ever happened to the 3rd Bn./ 325th Inf.(Abn) which I served with in the 82nd Abn. Div. before going to the 101st.
Let me again thank you very much for your courtesy and response and if I can ever reciprocate in any way please let me know.
John
John Bernstein the 6th Infantry was created in the 80s as part of Reagan’s build up. It was created by uniting various army units based in Alaska. It had an airborne unit for rapid deployment to Korea or other trouble spots in the pacific. The 6th stood down as part of the post Cold War draw down and the 172nd inf replaced it as the garrison for Alaska.
And the first American military was used to fight the British. Revolutionary war
🇺🇸✊🇬🇧
Love the Brits. They say: These Alabama winters are terrible. How can you Americans can stand it? Meanwhile, they think: You newbies haven't experienced cold until you have experienced a Scottish winter.
