George Hand mentored a Airforce PJ who wanted to get to the Unit. Dude passed Selection easy enough. But he washed out at OTC. And when George asked him why? It was CQB. Dude said he juat could not process and shoot to the standards
I thought it was really interesting when Tom Satterly described leaving The Unit as a Squadron SGM, then going to Range 37 SFARTAETC. After being there for a while, he wanted to take the guys over to watch the guys go through an iteration in CQB. His reaction after being out of it for a while was that it looked unsafe, and he had been an Assaulter, Troop SGM, and Squadron SGM for 2 decades. It's that fast. They aren't playing around at RNG 37 either, and it was still night & day different.
The fluidity and speed of actual tier one CQB is what most people fail to grasp just because a lack of exposure to it and rightly so. But thanks to these knowledge transfer sessions, those of us who seek to know may piece together the silhouette of what top CQB might feel and look like.
He’s right. They move so damn fast. I remember on a deployment in Iraq saw some unit guys land in a helicopter but they were attached to the helicopter, I don’t know for what reason but felt like had they made needed at all times they needed to leave quick. One guy was just attached to his line and peed in on spot over not gong to the bath room
@@A_Whitaker1I love our FOs. FOs combined with Snipers and TACPs turned out to be a formidable combo working with OH-58Ds. Everyone has optics and good/great comms IQ, lots of vantage points to quickly eliminate threats with everything from a single bullet, to rockets and fast CAS.
@@Patriot218S i think momentum & speed are exactly the same thing. Anyway, the correct order is: 1-Surprise 2-Speed 3-Violence of action ruclips.net/video/YQOQtl7plWc/видео.htmlfeature=shared
@ I heard it from a former Delta operator. The concept is one can have the first three but has to keep that momentum in order to win and be successful in every CQB operation.
@@Patriot218S just my opinion but you maintain momentum with speed, this is the reason why i'm saying that are exact the same things. For speed I don't mean how you rush into a building or a room but continue to move in order to maintain initiative.
Delta force operation eagle claw ,Mogadishu and how many other fukkkkkk ups that are classified a bunch of rangers if given your budget for cqb could do your job
Delta didn't do anything wrong with Eagle Claw. That was birds going down due to untrained air crew. JCS drove the idea of using those birds because they could be hidden in the hangar bay on the carrier and not be seen by Soviet satellites. The crews didn't have much NOE w/NODs training or experience, and brownout conditions are unnerving for those who do it regularly, let alone those that don't. Mogadishu was a Clinton and Les Aspin failure in leadership. Delta performed beyond admirably there.

Where did you read that story? I’d love to know more about that George has some great articles.

@@redfoot7951 what about that seems so unbelievable 😂. Plenty of dudes fail OTC cause the shooting is so insanely fast and scary.

1:12 "commos, medics and FISTERS"???
lolol, fisters are fire support specialists/teams. Their name tracks with the type of people that job attracts, because they are all the worst
@@A_Whitaker1Nah man, in my regular infantry unit we had some fisters (04-‘08) who were solid. At that time though they were just grunts like us.

@@A_Whitaker1 "because they are all the worst" And tell us why exactly? Because I'd love to hear this. I'd love to hear you talk out of your ass.
What did Tom say ?
"Throw chemlights and try to keep up"
There’s actually 4 critical pieces to CQB:
1)Speed
2)Surprise
3)Violence of Action
4)Momentum
