As an old sapper myself now in my mid 60's I lost count of the number of times that I was part of a troop building this bridge. MGOB, single storey, double storey, intermediate pier and a reverse strip, most of it done at night , frequently in the pouring rain and much of it whilst with BAOR. The river Aller was a particular favourite for a wet gap crossing. So to all of you old sappers who have felt the need to criticise on the performance of these guys and gals just remember, you were new to this once. This is a TA unit so probably not one that had the same exposure to the bridge as regular units. It's also a demonstration in front of a largely civilian crowd. Yes, it wasn't perfect, there were things that went wrong but did you ever complete one without an error along the way? An error which you corrected, allowing the build to continue. This unit faced the same issues and dealt with them and I for one salute them, Oh, and it looks to me as though they finished the task with all of their fingers intact. "E23 out"

I keep asking why are women in the army they are not as good as the men and do nothing but good them back by in the army I mean aloud on the front line
downtowngames they are not as good as men? Look at female UFC fighters and tell me you are bigger than them. It’s just that most women don’t train a lot because men like Curves and women like Muscles. That’s why Woman stay in shape but don’t go to the gym and go crazy over muscles like men do.
For those not in the know, the Bridge eqpt used is commonly known as an MGOB (medium girder over bridge) when used in single storey configuration. In this configuration it is used to upgrade the MLC classification of roads etc. The wedges are used to give a minimum clearance for when heavy A vehicles pass over the bridge. The wedges allow the Bridge to deflect somewhat and thus allow the clearance to be achieved. Without these the Bridge would "bend" and loads from the vehicle would be transferred to the ground. This can also be used to cross small gaps by "booming it" (balancing and building using tressel, jacks, light nose assembly etc). When used in double Storey configuration they are commonly built as "12 bay, double Storey MGB"..... etc...... this is when they. would use a vehicle such as a MWT to boom it out across a river/gap. This is any Sappers bread and butter!!
Since you seem to know enough about this kind of thing. What's the need for sappers when theres vehicles that build bridges in minutes and are super mobile i.e it's a fucking moving vehicles.
@@lightbearer1550 simple answer, there aint enough vehicles, and second, vehicles will generally pick up the bridge after use whereas the type of bridge that is hand bombed, stays in place for an extended period of time.
@Will Derby the only bit of a bailey bridge I ever handled was a carrying handle I found in the stores, an older NCO told us what it was so it ended up on the wall of the mess.
Back in the sixties we used to do the Bailey bridge building competitions, using resized pins and fixtures to cheat the build. I am convinced they still do this today, but nevertheless, Great work you guys!
U.S Army Engineers recently retired this bridge. My training company was one of the last to be trained on it, I wouldnt mind giving it another go one last time.
+Brandon Kittrell It's quite a "mean green..." haha you may know the rest! I would want to say the fun/challenging part as these Engineers demonstrated are the pin lock shaking maneuver to ensure that's properly seated. (It also gets on everyone's nerves sooner than later)
@@JamesOhanlon I'm not fully sure what his input was but it was on the design of the bridge or a part of it, he told me he had to sign an NDA that was for five years after he left and while working there he couldn't discuss what he did with people from other departments, I'll ask him tomorrow what he remembers about what input he had on the design/version he worked on. EDIT: the above account is also mine, logged in on one on my pc and one of my phone, get notifications for both to same email address ha
Had to build that bitch a couple of times as well while completing basic engineering qualification during my days in training as a lowly officer cadet. Good job Sappers. But this is only the single-stack variant. The double-stack is rather more time- and energy-consuming. They also didn't execute a launch procedure with the required nose section and guidance or launching device/apparatus in order to bridge the gap of a potential waterbody or ditch, which also takes time and effort, sometimes even a vehicle such as an armored engineering vehicle or at least a 5 ton truck, depending on the length and weight of the bridge, to provide for a proper counterweight. I know this was only a demonstration and that's why I said: Good job. They worked swiftly and no bitching was to be seen. Just wanted to add to the video, as we Germans are filthy completionists and, as you say, clever clogs. Greetings from a former Pionier officer and platoon/section commander PzPiBtl1 (Panzerpionier Bataillon 1/ 1st Armored Combat Engineer Battalion). Sorry for any faulty technical terms. We trained, as you might have imagined, in German. ;) P.S.: Fuck that old piece of shit. Thank god for technology. But yeah, sometimes this, or simple wood, or the old Bailey bridge is all you have left over or to spare. Anker Wirf!
Didn't boom it as it was built as an "over bridge", doesn't need a counter weight either. Wedges are used to provide a min clearance for route upgrade.
Hey, iv just done 4 years posted with 23 Amphibious Engineer Troop , based in Minded Germany. We worked closely with 130 pioneer batallion In HvB. Brilliant bunch of lads!!!!!
for that span put a pipe and roll some dirt over it done in the field this would take 4-8 hours at least why because diches dont tend to be level on both sides and the ground might not be abel to support it as is
This is why I love British Regiments. Not sure if UK accepts people from other country's into they Army. Other then that,The British Royal Engineer's are my Favorite.
I was in a similar position. My advice would be to thoroughly do your research, sit down with your Mum and explain why you want to do it and what would be happening where and when with regards to applying, training etc. You're still a way off being 14 so try not to worry or push it too much or constantly, you've got plenty of time to gently get her used to the idea.
He says they add the base plates to add clearance for the next section, but why exactly would a bridge have issues with clearance, Isn't the whole idea of a bridge to go over a ravine or river or somewhere where solid ground not being there is the whole reason the bridge is needed? How exactly would this work over a river or ravine? Only use I can see for this is heavy equipment over soft ground, in which case it would be useful but I'd hardly call that a bridge.
ayy i have an idea why not hold contests/ races of which group can build a bridge quickest and have a car/truck drive over it and then charge people money to see it, i bet the funding would go up or the winning team gets a bonus, hell id buy tickets to see it for some reason.
Right? Recently there was an event in Tampa Florida (I live maybe 30 minutes away) that was a show of world special force teams working together to extract a hostage/poi from hostile forces and it was the coolest thing to watch because some people had luve fire rounds others had blanks (all shot into water) several vehicles and helos all firing mmgs sniper units dive teams rhib insertions it was awesome. I didnt learn about it until a few days after I took place

The United States weight requirements have been out of the door for years now. Our military cares more about just passing basic test which can be done by the average person. Sure during training and boot camp they have a height to weight limit but once your in a lot of people lose respect for physical training
@@aarons4996 so what your saying is if I wanted to join up I pass a simple test and then its I to basic where I actually get weeded out from the best to worst?
