All of this talk of vehicles reminds me that USSF did a lot of mobile ops in Gulf War 2. But except for half a chapter in Masters of Chaos I've never found anything about it. The program of modifying vehicles and tactics was a result of operational difficulties in Desert Storm. So, the clusters in Desert Storm weren't wasted effort.

RTU - could be said of those who meet their maker.

Ppp

Today's little council estate gangsters have got absolutely nothing on these guys.

Pure english accent

Essential information for doing a job on a sentry.

I just added the insignia of the 81st West Africa division to my collection. These guys were defiantly unsung heroes of WWII. They didn't use pack mules but carried their own supplies and gear. They probably saved the lives of hundreds of mules. Tough guys.

so sad

once youve read brothers in arms,read tank action by captain david Render,it brings the 2 stories together

I live near Clonmel, South Tipperary. The Royal Irish Regiment was based in Victoria Barracks Clonmel. Later to become Kickham Barracks, some beautiful buildings, it has now closed but hopefully is being preserved. they built a new plaza on part of it and have moved the Boer war memorial (for safety reasons) to a new location. The regimental chapel is now the South Tipperary Arts Centre. There is a R.I.R. association locally. My Grandfather James Doyle 1885-1959 was recruited in early 1902 and was out of reserves just before WW1, there was no conscription on the Island of Ireland but reserves were mobilised. My Grandfather was known as 'the vet' as he was gifted with horses, the recruitment photo I have of him, shows him wearing the 1902 issue leather bandana and a Royal Garrison Artillery cap badge, thus the link with horses.

Really something listening to this man's stories. Humbling.

very brilliant me but for what and who ? theses guys need to look around your killing your own

I thought the SAS were secret and selective? Seems like everyone and his brother has been in it and wrote a book about it!

The worlds first special forces

Why is he talking so fast?

The minstrel boy to the war has gone, in the ranks of death you'll find him.

3rd world war stuff 😂😂😂

The uniforms worn during the outbreak of World War I in 1914 and the Ebola outbreak in 2014 were designed to meet the specific needs and challenges of each situation. 1. World War I (1914): - Infantry Uniform: Infantry soldiers in World War I wore uniforms that consisted of a tunic, trousers, and puttees (leg wrappings). The color and design of the uniforms varied based on the country. Helmets, such as the British Brodie helmet or the German Stahlhelm, were also introduced to protect soldiers' heads. - Gas Masks: As chemical warfare was introduced during World War I, soldiers were issued gas masks. These masks were made of rubber and had filters to protect against poisonous gases. - Webbing Equipment: Soldiers carried their equipment in a webbing harness system that included ammunition pouches, water bottles, entrenching tools, and other necessities. - Rank Insignia: Rank insignia, such as chevrons and badges, were used on uniforms to distinguish between different ranks and roles. 2. Ebola Outbreak (2014): - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Medical personnel involved in the Ebola outbreak wore specialized PPE to protect themselves from the virus. This included full-body suits made of impermeable material, gloves, masks, goggles, and boots. The suits were often brightly colored for easy identification and were designed to be easily decontaminated. - Identification Badges: Medical personnel also wore identification badges that displayed their names, roles, and organizations to ensure clarity and accountability during the crisis. - Disposable Equipment: Due to the highly contagious nature of Ebola, many items used in the care of patients were disposable. This included gloves, masks, and other protective gear, which were discarded after each use to prevent cross-contamination. - Scrubs: In addition to PPE, medical personnel often wore scrubs underneath their protective suits for added comfort and hygiene. The uniforms during these outbreaks reflect the unique challenges and requirements of each situation. World War I uniforms were designed for combat and protection against traditional weapons, while the Ebola outbreak uniforms prioritized protection against a highly contagious virus and cross-contamination.

Weaponry during the outbreak of World War I in 1914 and the outbreak of the Ebola virus in 2014 were vastly different due to the nature of the conflicts and the targets involved. 1. World War I (1914): - Rifles: The primary weapon used by infantry soldiers was the bolt-action rifle, such as the British Lee-Enfield or the German Mauser. These rifles were accurate and reliable but had limited magazine capacity. - Machine Guns: Machine guns were a prominent feature of World War I. Weapons like the British Vickers or the German Maxim were used to devastating effect, mowing down infantry in the trenches. - Artillery: Heavy artillery played a significant role in World War I. Weapons like the French 75mm field gun or the German Big Bertha were used to shell enemy positions and fortifications. - Poison Gas: Chemical warfare was introduced during World War I. Poison gases such as chlorine or mustard gas were deployed, causing widespread casualties and terror. - Bayonets: Bayonets were still a standard infantry weapon during World War I. Soldiers would fix their bayonets to the end of their rifles for close-quarters combat. 2. Ebola Outbreak (2014): - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): During the Ebola outbreak, medical personnel relied on PPE to protect themselves from the highly contagious virus. This included full-body suits, masks, goggles, and gloves. - Disinfectants: In the fight against Ebola, disinfectants such as chlorine were used extensively to sanitize surfaces and equipment to prevent the spread of the virus. - Medical Equipment: Medical equipment like thermometers, blood tests, and IV fluids were crucial in diagnosing and treating Ebola patients. - Vaccines and Medications: Although no specific vaccine or cure existed for Ebola in 2014, experimental treatments and vaccines were being developed and administered to affected individuals. - Education and Awareness Campaigns: Unlike a traditional war, the Ebola outbreak required extensive education and awareness campaigns to inform the public about prevention measures, symptoms, and treatment options. These examples highlight the different approaches taken to combat the threats posed by World War I and the Ebola outbreak. While World War I relied heavily on traditional weaponry and military tactics, the response to the Ebola outbreak focused on medical equipment, protective gear, and public education.

DLB great bloke,worked with his nephew natural leaders.

God bless the bravery of the Connaught Rangers who so bravely refused to fight,caused a mutiny,when they seen what Brits were doing in Ireland,After that the regiments got disbanded.

Forever brothers 🇬🇧🇺🇸 the two greatest nations this side of heaven

BEST OF THE BEST. S.A.S

Was these those dudes that freeze to death,exept few of them😮

Intelligence isn’t intelligent 😂😂😂

8:22 “if I pull myself off” wince & Cringe 😂😂😂

My grandad George Swift was a Chindit . He was from staffordshire x

Sounds llike anything any motivated paras could do special forces are mainly foor high value targets or recon

Oh, you mean Muslims were killing Sikh’s and Hindus? No way. I don’t believe that! That would be Islamophobic.

So the Arabs in Palestine wanted the Ottoman Empire to fall because they were a bunch of brutal colonialist dictators. The Arabs were colonialist dictators. Think about this.

The Kshatriya races were mostly recruted in British Indian army from the begining. Kshatriya races are martial races so it makes sense why they would recruit them.

Unfortunately all the SAS/Gulf war stories have been ruined for me after Peter Ratcliffe's book.

LSgt George Smith D company 9th Brigade 35 th Battalion was my grandfather. I was excited to see this video. Apart from illness he was uninjured until 1918 when wounded in Bray-sur-Somme

Interviewers watch could do with resizing 😅

Arrogance..that was the problem...it killed our troops

So pedestrian a tale, and panicky / uninformed views of tactical and political perspectives. Ever seen the Jack Dee stand up?

Des is the sort of gent I'd absolutely love to sit and have a few beers with and just listen 👌

I am a Middle Eastern archaeologist and in the 1990s there was a lot known about the Iraqi desert. My question is why was the intelligence about the region so poor?

I remember watching a program where a a ex sas veteran retraced what was written in his book and it turned out to be mostly bull 💩.. But if bull 💩 sells more books there you go.. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

shockingly ill prepared notably for the SAS: No 1 is correct intelligence, No 2 correct equipment otherwise don't send these unbelivably BRAVE, week trained men into danger the officer corp, the planners and the demanding politicians should have been jailed

If he could have known what England would become now he probably would have switched sides in the war.

This is why the coalition jet never hit the SAS. The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

The stark difference between the Super Army Soldiers (SAS) and Super Boat Soldiers (SBS) (Like SAS but boat) is that the SBS work in and around water whereas the SAS walk on it

Awesome

I appreciate your interest in this subject. Allow me to correct you on a few misconceptions. Three of the four of my grand parents and their siblings, grew up orphaned, without mothers, as a result of the concentration camps. My only grandfather who died in the war, was my grandfather who emigrated from Holland to South Africa only about ten years prior to the onset of the war and was thrown in jail, where they killed him, because he was still considered a Dutch citizen. Because the army could not win on the battlefield they had to win by killing the woman and children. The only grand mother who came out unscathed, was my mother’s mother who fled in an ox wagon, and protected herself and her children against the horrific concentration camps by living in the velt. Keep in mind they were called “ Boers” as they were all farmers. On their farms the woman and children were safe and had access to everything the farms provided for them. The British army demolished their homes, burnt down the crops and killed their live stock to punish them for being able, not only to provide for themselves, but to provide also for their men fighting in the war. They did not need your deathly “charity”. Don’t ever call these death camps anything other than what it was. Research showed that in every concentration camp grave there were multiple layers of children and their mothers buried, in one grave. Different to initial calculations the death rate was thus, closer to thirty five thousand woman and children in these death camps. That was at that time more than one third of the total boer ( Afrikaner) population of only about one hundred thousand souls. If that is not a holocaust, I don’t know what is. They wiped out a whole generation of children. This still has a dire effect on our community today and will have for the future of our children and grandchildren and those that come after them. I will ensure that the truth of this war and especially of the concentration camps will live on in the memories of my children and grandchildren and their children for as long as I can.

Could it happen today? We're about to find out I suppose 😅

No respect for him after his insistence on Op Plum Duff .
