US Marine here. Never worked with the UK military, but I trained together with the Japanese Self Defense Force for a few weeks. Those guys know how to party.
In Iraq in 2003 when we first came across British Royal Marines, The first thing we did was started trading with each other LOL Foreign money, food items and things of that nature. We were always happy to see the brits nearby.
Some of those OPFOR guys are definitely epic memelords in their free time
Yea. I couldn't tell, but I'm betting that guy walking in the middle, the "take no prisoners" guy, is like a 1st or 2nd Lt. He probably never goes out with his guys, but he heard the documentary crew was coming that day.
You can tell by the way the other guys are acting they just want him to shut up and go away
American here. IDGAF, UK are thunder buddies for life! You don't just say that shit. Nobody's had our backs like you guys do. Maybe 1 day we will reach you how to make food not bland as cardboard. But until then, I'm happy to share mine with you. Love you guys!
Young infantry platoon leader at JRTC for the first time in 1996. Platoon sized patrol ran into a sniper. POW! Troop from 1st squad goes down. “Do you see him?” “No.” “1st and 2nd squads online. Base of fire. 3rd squad, flank to the right and flush him out.” 5 minutes later. POW! 3rd squad troop goes down. F**k! “1st and 2nd squad, assault across.” POW! POW! 2 more troops down and we still haven’t seen the sniper. “F**k, f**k, f**’!” “Ok, form a perimeter, there’s a clearing 400 meters to the southeast. I’ve called in medevac, hopefully, they’ll get here before our guys bleed out. We set up a perimeter on the edge of the landing zone. The helicopter arrives and we start to shuttle our wounded out. Suddenly, simulated artillery rounds start exploding nearby. An observer/controller comes over and tells me, “LT, the enemy has mortared the landing zone. The helicopter, its crew, and your 4 wounded are all now dead.” And we never once saw Geronimo. Admittedly, I was young and inexperienced as an officer, but JRTC was a heck of a wake up call.
The thing I remember most about Fort Polk : It was very warm and very humid.
I was there for 3 weeks... and I felt clean for only about 10 minutes... only for a short period of time after a shower. After you dry off... you start sweating again.
A great training experience... but I'll stay in cooler climates thank you very much.
Summer in the Deep South!
@@michaeldmcgee4499 I'm from the PNW, and my first summer at Ft Campbell I thought I was gonna die...and that's not really deep Deep South. Heat rash, learning about ticks, dodging copperheads, and I got stung by a puss caterpillar on the neck...it was not a happy summer for me.
Ft Polk was my 1st duty station. The base shuttle dropped me off at the CQ office, but it was locked, and everyone was gone. A Lt showed up and locked my stuff in the CO's office. My inprocessing only took a few hrs because he took me directly to the 1st Sgt in charge. So, basically, within 8 hrs of arrival, I was in the field with my new squad, using a Bradley ramp as cover from the rain. Right after it rained, the air was usually real muggy, and it's hard to breathe. The heat comes right back and creates a smelly fog we called the swamp sauna. Then comes half an hour of mosquito swatting... and everyone's hot, wet, miserable, pissed off... Then Staff Sgt Miles was like, "So this kinda sucks." A few guys laughed, and after a while we were all just fucking with each other like normal because Infantry guys are Infantry guys. No matter how bad it sucks you can always entertain yourself by throwing pebbles at the guy sitting across from you!
When I was in bahrain we had a joint forces training event where the British and the French both came to our compound for the duration of the week. The French hung a small flag on the door of their tent so naturally the British hung a larger flag on theirs. Being Americans we had to one up them and hung a larger flag. The British somehow the next day gathered a larger flag than the American flag. Needless to say by the final day of the fun we had a flag hanging on the side of our building that you could see from the main highway outside of base.
They are professional OPFOR Opposition Force and Fort Polk the box is mostly swamp and wet forest. its a hell hole. I had a friend who after being OPFOR at the battle school at Leavenworth, he went there as a Intel SNCO for the 509 "its all dirty tricks ALL THE TIME"
Served 1970-1996 in the US Army. When I was serving with Special Forces I was able to spend time with the British paras at Aldershot during The Troubles. (I proudly wear British jump wings!) Later in 1977-1980 I was assigned to 3rd Squadron, 7th US Cavalry in Schweinfurt, West Germany. We had a program of training with a "sister" British cavalry unit, probably from somewhere in northern West Germany. Anyway, I loved it! Great guys, great friends, great soldiers. Total confidence in each other. We were all so much like each other, even that strange soldier-humor that we all share. There was just one slight problem: We spoke different languages!!🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍 Best wishes from "Across the Pond" to the Royal Marines!
You left right before I got there. I was 2/30 Inf. in Schweinfurt. 84-87. Barracks right next to 3/7 Cav.
@@mikemclaurin2889 Oh, yes. LTC Barry McCaffrey (later three-stars) commanded 1-30 or 2-30....can't remember which. When I arrived in Oct 1977, as an infantry CPT I was supposed to be assigned to 1-30 or 2-30. But they had just relieved one of the 3-7 troop commanders, so they diverted me to 3-7; that was to be my second company-level command. So, there I was: the "Token Grunt" among all those armor/cav-branch guys. But it was a blessing in disguise. When I went back to CONUS and into the 82nd Airborne, and unlike my contemporaries, I really knew how to work with an infantry/tank team and I was very comfortable with those guys!!
@@4325air I think 2/30 Inf. Barry eventually got 4 stars. In the Gulf War my Battalion CO from 2/30 Inf, John LeMoyne, was a Brigade CO for Barry in 24th ID. He led the left hook with one his Thunder Runs that he was notorious for in Germany. If I had a nickel for every time we broke down the TOC in the middle of the night and went charging across the German countryside, I’d be a rich man.
To show what a small world we live in, after 9/11, my son, in Ft Benning, Infantry OSUT at the time, wrote to say that the post commander had given a talk and General LeMoyne had said …. I thought… LeMoyne is not a common name… I wonder. Looked him up. Sure enough my old Battalion CO was now a Major General and Chief of Infantry. So, I did was any soldier would do in this situation… I sent him an email. Subject: Wild Boar! Asked him if he would swing round and check on my son. He did. Because he was the best damned CO in the Army (not just because of that). On 9/11, the Army G1 was killed. John LeMoyne took his place. Promoted to 3 star. Fast forward a year and a half. We’re ready to kick off Iraq. My cell phone rings. It’s John LeMoyne wanting to know where my son is and how he’s doing. Well he’s the G1 he could find out those things himself if he wanted to, but that’s the kind of commander he was.
1992-ish .. Germany. Tanks being painted by Brit contractors. Request for Fags .. talk about town .. plans to group together and go out on the town later. I always thought it was so cool that to disparate groups simply met .. traded names etc. .. instantly forming a larger tribe.
3:31 of THAT isn’t THE most stereotypical geeky First Lieutenant! Wearing his BCGs!! 😂
Those aren't "BCGs." BCGs are are brownish and translucent, I'm looking at mine in my desk right now, those are just large black framed glasses. They no longer issue BCGs, S9 frame (1990s to early 2010s), and now give out "5A" frames (officially the R-5A, which are smaller black framed glasses, since 2012).
I was in the navy in Hawaii in 1977, and we used to meet up with the I.D.F. regularly. They were good guys.
I live near there. I actually use to work in Leesville, right beside the base. Where I live is about 2 miles through the woods from the Peason range’s fence. I’ve been out on the range a few times and it is a wild place. Depending on the time of year you might go from walking plateau like areas to woodland creek beds, dense and sparse foliage, jungle like environments, swamps, even arid rocky terrains sometimes within a couple miles from the next terrain. The only drawback is it is HUMID!
Whoo Sleezeville!!!
I passed back through there a couple years ago, and it's gotten WAY nicer than when I was stationed there
As someone who who had to train at JRTC a few times before deployments to Iraq, that place sucks and Geronimo is no joke. these guys know there stuff but I got a lot of good training from them.
Just a shout out to anyone who has ever served their country in the military. Thank you all.
Military retiree with 26 years, 10 in the Navy Enlisted followed by 16 in Air Force Commissioned, ret. Lt.Colonel. I served and interfaced with UK RAF, Norwegian AF, German Panzers, Dutch SF, South Korean ROK Marines, Thai Royal Marines, Australian Navy (Destroyer Derwent), Australian Special Forces, and of course our northern neighbor Canada's Air Forces (Search and Rescue). I know there were others, very temporary during Operation Desert Storm but not for more than one or two actions. The UK forces and the Aussies were always my favorites due to the shared history and camaraderie.
I served 28 years in the US Marines. I have trained with multiple nations. Philippines, Royal Thai Army, Brits, Kiwis, Japanese Defense Force, Malaysia, Brunei etc...That was always the best. Forming those bonds and supporting each other, and let's face it...getting to eat and drink and truly learn the culture. I miss it dearly now.
Oh , and the ROK Marines and Korean military. Great people and yes we partied!!! ROKs are nuts!
Also called Red Team. Woods there in LA are full of rattlesnakes and water moccasin (cottonmouth).These exercises with the US Military and British Military are compared to brotherly rivalry.
AGREED! I haven't found another country that I love working with more than the Brits. Also loved doing the Irish bayonet course.
I was in the USAF and I worked with the Korean military extensively for years. One time I was TDY to Hawaii with a few of our Korean partners, and we were going into a venue with a cover charge. They had a military discount, and we asked if the Korean guys could get it too, since we were allies, they smiled and agreed on the spot. I've always thought that was pretty cool of them.
I have served in the Royal Bermuda Regiment 🇧🇲 from 2006 - 2012 . With my time in service, I've crossed trained with the Brits of cause, and with the USMC and with the Canadian Defense Force as well with the Jamaican Defense Force.. I loved training with other military allies.. you get to learn different tips and tricks and tactics...
I was apart of this.. not this rotation, but it’s really good training. I was stationed there in the early 00’s.
I currently live just down the road.
Been to JRTC Once. Lost an entire Battalion trying to cross a river. A couple months later, Russia lost a BTG trying to cross a river. A year and a half later I had to try and convince a famous COL that he could not "Win" JRTC.
That guy had to know what he was saying right? haha
The 509th Geronimo.. THE GINGERBREAD MEN! Legends
US Navy 1985, I visited the HMS Ark Royal and HMS Battle Axe while they were in Charleston SC.
I enjoy seeing your perspective on things.
I trained with The Royal Hampshire Rgt in the early 80’s in Germany. Very impressive troops.
My brother is one of the trainers at Polk that teaches the forces going against Geronimo. You definitely see some cool shit going on in the air when you go golfing on base.
I was born there, in an old WWII hospital, in 1963. My dad was stationed there with an armor unit.
For them, it's always home court advantage.
Retired USAF here, served in the 70's and 80's. Served at many NATO bases and trained with a lot of different countries, the Brit's were always my favorite.
LOL! National Training Center in the 1990's up against 11th ACR producing 90-95% "casualties" using Soviet tactics. A little known advantage the 11th had was the unmarked pass in the middle of the training center that visiting units did not know about. We spent 30 days at a time there, 11th spent every waking moment playing OPFOR. And f*** Dynacorp.
509th Airborne Infantry 3rd batt, they have been there doing that since the early 90's. 509th was the 1st combat Paratroopers dropped in north africa during WWII.
I kinda wonder how both armies during the revolution would react if they found out that not only would the US win and officially be their own nation, they would eventually become very close allies, help each other in extremely critical times ie. both world wars, and train with one another to ever be ready and never stop improving in battle tactics.
I’ve gone through JRTC 6 time during my time in the US Army. These guys drive units crazy every rotation. I just noticed the US Unit in the video is the 10th Mountain Division I spent 10 years in the Division as a Sapper.
I'm sure there's no hot swampland in the UK. Useful for learning jungle combat.
I never worked with the UK forces but I did work with some Canadian combat engineers. They were great, real professionals.
OPFOR by is left shoulder means (opposing force)
Worked with RAF and loved working with them, met a long-distance girlfriend that way, didn't end up together just because distance is an issue but were still good friends to this day.
I grew up in the 70s about 10 miles from fort Polk, never had air conditioning....played in the bayou for days at the time with just a lighter and a knife. Suck it up.
Got to be assigned to the OPFOR guys at Ft Irwin. Was just the funniest thing I ever did in the Army.
US Navy, Submarine Service 1964 to 1970. Never worked with a foreign service but respect them. Know a number of folks from other navies sub services.
Having split from Britain, and it being necessary in our birth to be enemies, time and the trials of war against common foes have returned us to our rightful relationship as "brother" forces. I was in the Navy for a decade, and thoroughly enjoyed any experience with our British and Canadian counterparts. Churchill was absolutely right when he described it as a special relationship in 1946.
Genuinely if you speak to anyone that’s done JRTC they will tell you how much everyone hates Geronimo just the general attitude of being so overconfident in their abilities when this is all they do and they never deploy.
uld be surprised at how many do not realize the US trains our allies like this....
I worked with the ROK Army in 1967 as an Zeon Light Operator
US Army Infantry. 1982-87. My most intimate meeting with foreign military was an operation my battalion conducted with a Canadian Guards battalion in opposition. It was a bit scripted as these things often are, but within that we got to experience some realism. They hijacked our chow truck. Took two of our guys POW. One did a back flip out of the back of a moving jeep and ran back to his unit. The other was taken to the TOC. He copied all the info that was available in the TOC and escaped. We had a good E&E through Canadian lines at night. Fun stuff. Another, Operation Pioneer in Germany. British SAS on offense, 1/32nd Inf, 3rd ID on defense. Objective: SAS destroys multiple communications nodes serving civilian and military traffic through central and southern Germany. 1/32 defends the comms nodes and hunts the adversary. This took 1/32 out of its normal Bradley's and put them in the role of straight leg infantry. Unfortunately for the SAS, our commander was a Vietnam vet and Silver Star recipient who knew a few things about this type of warfare. I won't say we won, but the SAS came away much bloodier than they thought they would. In our normal job, we coordinated with the Bundeswehr quite heavily all the time. Great guys. We had the 12th Panzer on our left in the defense of Germany (GDP). Not with foreign troops, but also had the experience of training as North Korean Infantry under the tutelage of US Army Korean interrogators and MI types. Training on North Korean equipment, rifles, machineguns, RPGs, BTRs etc. North Korean PT, readiness training and, at the end of the day, communist political training conducted North Korean style. Just a couple of weeks of that but, really great training.
Posted at Polk for 3 years MLRS 86 89
This whole series is worth a look. I seen this episode some time back, then I watched all of the others. If I remember the UK gal reporting is Shannon, and I think it's the last episode the US Army does something really cool for her...(not going to spoil it in case anyone else wants to watch the other episodes)
We all smile at this with both sides testing each other. I would love to see a similar video against Russian wave tactics. See what the boys picking up watching the Ukraine conflict for future wars.
youve just answered a long question ive had with my co,you can have royal navy commandos,i have a shoulder patch to prove this ,thanks
Thank Godddddd I was afraid you didn’t squeeze it in, but 13:25 he comes through.
In Basic Training you learn the people who train you the hardest have to stay and do it again and you don't !
I aways worked the UK. We are friends beyond friends. Let's go.
He ment holes in your training
"Us armys most hated unit"
Me: oh please be...
"Fork polk, Louisiana
Yeeaaaaahhhh! I knew it lets go!
Yeah, the 509th infantry battalion basically lives at the JROTC and basically exist to piss off the rest of the military by doing anything and everything to make their lives miserable. to quote Zach Hazard (look him up if you havent already. Great guy, funny stories) "they exist to make battalion commanders pull out their hair and go 'oh, those bastards!'"
Former U.S. Navy worked with the Australian Navy off the coast of Iraq.
Dude PLEASE react to Garand Thumbs video looking at the AN-94, one of the rarest rifles in the world and it's a serious treat! Also Subbed!
good thing I dont subscribe to Garand Thumb because when the British dude said "The Wild Geese" which is a great war movie, the GT dude actually said he did know it.
@@luigivincenz3843 What are you on about
The reason why they are hated is that once you smoke them, as we did in 2005, they throw a fit and start coming up with BS why they lost. They should learn from they loss also
hi sir check it out, its WWII story
Tittle; FILIPINO is the DEADLIEST SNIPER? | Who is Ramon Simpas Subejano
Oi bruv, I know you said your dad was in Falklands. Try Mark Felton's "Falklands Fighter With Combat Kill - Sharkey Ward's Sea Harrier" video.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH TINY GUNS 3 FROM CORRIDOR DIGITAL!!!! its got all the big guntubers in it! I just watched it and immediately thought about your reaction😂
Went to Graf, Hohenfels and NTC. Perks of being heavy mechanized is no fucking JRTC bullshit lol.
US Army back in the 80s.And I train with a queen dragoon guards
Bro what is happening in the UK today? Y'all good???
Diversity?
@@-scrim From the outside it's pretty alarming, that... Would definitely not be tolerated here. No clue the proper response, but... Yeah, that's not looking good.
@@gmbane384can say the same for the USA...
got me good there buster, *boop* got ur nose
lol they call that Diversity! When you have a bunch of recent immigrants trying to create the lives they lived in there new country all in the name of diversity 😂
In the early 1980's, I was part of an exercise called MOBEX, which was a training exercise that included personnel from many European cuntries, the British included. Unfortunately, I was tasked with security of the underground control center, which my sole moment of glory, was drawing on a 3 star, demanding entry, while not on the list. He was eventually added to the list, after about 3 hours,. Needless to say, he was not a happy camper at the delay. I however still have a very comical certificate for my participation.
It was only after the exercise was over and I was released from my post, that I was made aware that it was just an exercise, or was it? This was during the time when the navy had a party at sea... The Fat Electrician did a video on it... thing could have been far more "Proportional"
Why are they hated? They kick the asses of the unit training in their sand box.
OPFOR not “Enemy”
But yeah, name self rattlesnake OK
My Brother was stationed there!
Mind bringing gears of war 2 gameplay back, it was fun to watch?
Having spent time myself in a combat unit, and as an OPFOR unit at times, I can tell you that these "soldiers" are not combat troops. Training with these types of troops typically isn't taken seriously by these troops, and is barely more than a Joke. We also trained with our British, and German counterparts( I was stationed in Germany ). I would have to say "Gives UK troops Hell"? Bullsh*! British troops are typically more hard core than their American counterparts. But for anyone who has a combat related job role, this "training" would appear to be a cake walk.
JRTC was miserable.
im curious if Australia is similar in vast bushland. and difficult for other countries to train
More than half of Australia is considered uninhabitable, or is controlled primarily by tribes and villages not connected to modern Australia. There’s a huge reason why most people would NEVER cross from north to south Australia by car. You’re asking to die from starvation, dehydration, running out of gas, getting caught in the middle of unknown territory controlled by humans who don’t conform to modern laws, and so on.
The center of Australia is also a vast and expansive desert that is virtually impossible to traverse. That’s why you take a plane from north to south or south to north, and why the vast majority of Australians live in the north and south and on the west and east coasts by the water.
The deeper you go into Australia, the higher your chances of dying.
No it's the most hated. Also they are very good gorilla fighters.
I could've swore I saw a version of this same exact video on youtube that was much longer. Did you cut out the second half?🤔
4:01 Their attitude and guest's egos may not mix so well 😉
So he can see my what?!
Yeah, Army def stretched my holes out a few times. 😂😂😂😂
This Colonel should turn himself in for making inappropriate comments.

AMERICA FIRST!!!
Does that include Canada and the other 33 nations and countries that make up the Americas, or just the United States?
As a US citizen myself, i know that America is not just the US. So to say “America First” is to say “All of the Americas, from the top of Canada down to the bottom of Chile, first.”
Is that how you feel? Do you see all South Americans as equal to US citizens, and therefore they should be put first too?
Or are you just simply referring to the US? If so, at least have the gall to say “USA first.”
@@johnnyrocket1685 USA FIRST!!!
Why do you not interact with us subscribers , you never answer questions??????????
It forces one's mind to go A symmetrical, to win. Yea they hate em, cause it sucks to get the crap beat out of you every time. But that's point. Not truly hated. So embrace the suck.
