British Army convoy crosses main road 🪖 🇬🇧

A convoy of Land Rovers and MAN logistic vehicles cross a main road, with assistance of soldiers to manage traffic. The British Army were training on Salisbury Plain and crossed the A345 near the village of Brigmerston in Wiltshire.

These crossings cross public roads, depending on the size of the convoy, would depend on the level of control. Smaller convoys will cross when safe to do so, larger convoys with slower moving vehicles such as tracked vehicles may have a military police control at the crossing. Night crossings definitely controlled with more caution.

[@paxundpeace9970]

Yeah this does not really warrant a military police patrol.

@@paxundpeace9970 In military terms a convoy is made of packets of vehicles. Packets are made up of four to ten vehicles. A gap is left between Packets for both tactical and control reasons. A recovery vehicle normal sweeps up after the last packet. The lead vehicle normally runs ahead of the convoy and is surprisingly the convoy commander. Marked by a distinctive flag.

In the mid-80s, I served at a garrison, covering all of Salisbury Plain and this sort of movement (at night), across a public road, was pretty straightforward for me: stop before the crossing, headlights - off, hazards & blue light - on and let the armour cross; any "Muppet" who disregarded this (if they survived) had their insurance company to contend with; only had 1 incident with an owner of a Renault - what a flopper!

[@wessexdruid7598]

I remember an incident the other side of Westdown Camp, north of Tilshead - when the 14th/20th were crossing the A360. A woman was doing 80+ down the road from Devizes in a Sierra - and suddenly found herself in the back seat, under the engine. The Chieftain hardly felt the bump - I went past as Wilts FB were cutting the car apart, to get her out. This was somewhere around 1984 or 5..

[@danielw5850]

I've been on that road and you just need to exercise common sense really. I'm guessing a lot of those drivers are not aware that it runs through a major training area and aren't paying attention. I can remember stopping at one of those crossing points a few years ago while a Sabre shot across the road like a bat out of hell!

It is probably just for safety you do have limited visibility and when crossing from a sidestreet you better wait your turn. They don't have to wait for you to cross.

@@Kamranalam12345 Maybe it's a more region specific joke than I realised. A common basic joke in my area (Northern Ireland, UK) is 'why did the chicken cross the road?', so I thought I'd answer 'why did the army crossed the road' in a similar way. :) On the serious side, this will be a training exercise in the UK, with more specific details present in the description of the video. As it isn't an active movement for defense or similar, I thought it was more appropriate to joke here than if they were on 'active duty', 'an active military operation' or however you'd like to phrase it. They're obviously still working and training is a serious subject, but they're not going to go down the road and be attacked so it's OK to be a bit more lighthearted about it than if they were in an active war zone.

I’m surprised they have been trained to park that close to each other what if one vehicle was blown up you would all be fucked then

[@markwright3161]

On the other hand parked too far apart leaves every single vehicle a target undefended. Parked together they can defend as one. Not every vehicle with have a small quantity of everything they need, a couple might be mainly long distance communication equipment, another equipped for traversing rough terrain (thinking of the mobile bridge vehicles), one here is carrying a telehandler. That obviously can't be shrunk down to a mass produced item for every vehicle to carry, and it's weight obviously means it can't also carry the same quantity of munitions, etc to defend it as a lone vehicle. If that telehandler was some other form of equipment being transferred between bases or somewhere, be it military equipment you don't want falling into the opposition's hands, aid, or whatever, the surrounding vehicles need to be close to it to defend it, and if an attack takes out the right couple of vehicles in a space out formation, the whole convoy is stuffed anyway, so parked as one offers the best defense. Of course, you need to remember that in a combat situation, or other situation where there's deemed to be a high risk of attack, they'll either not stop moving or be in a covered area, camp, etc. They won't be parking casually in the middle of open ground. The green cross code is very low on priorities in that situation, so any road they need to cross will be done without stopping, although it could be scouted by drone or similar before any vehicles reach it to determine risk, etc. There isn't much risk of hitting a roadside bomb when stationary, so the spacing is only really a concern when in motion, and even that's dependent on the information they have. If static hidden threats are the risk, like roadside bombs, etc, then spacing out with the most heavily armoured vehicles leading is a way to go, but protecting something or someone they're transporting will require a close formation to prevent the 'cargo' being isolated at any time. If they're stranded in the open because a main vehicle have been immobilised, then a close formation is again the easiest to defend. If you're 1 metre from your next set of eyes you're a lot better off than if you are 10 metres away from them.

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
