1IC.....1st in command. 2IC....2nd in command. British infantry sections are 8 men. A corporal and 3 others make up Charlie fireteam. A lance corporal and 3 others make up Delta fireteam. Charlie + Delta = 1 section with two NCOs in the chain of command.

[@greyvoice7949]

Ex CAF here, also work at the company who builds that Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Rheinmetall Canada). Its a great piece of Kit, they are variations, even some weaponized. It is also amphibious and is a real 8x8 system.

[@alanhilton3611]

I love the idea of a robot that follows you you could pack a large amount of kit on it anything that'll improve your mobility is a big plus.

[@jjhw2941]

They could add the ability to make the robot into an autonomous scout, just limit it to GPS box to grid search and send back images of people, potential IEDs, weaponry etc.

[@iatsd]

Why would you fvck about with that? Just use (as is starting to happen around the world) a micro-drone (ie. under 100g) and get the same capability on a smaller platform, that is easier to use, cheaper, and more readily disposable.

[@immortallvulture]

Section 2ic is the 2nd in command, usually a Lance corporal. In a typical section of 8 men you have 2 fire teams of 4, one team led by the 2ic and the other led by the section ic. Not sure how that would work in a 5 man section like they were saying they were considering in the vid

[@blackskull8440]

Love your channel, but I served in Iraq 04, Afghanistan 08,, the RPV is a cool concept of your out on flat terrain, but in the back streets of MusaQala, Sangen,, or any built up area could end up a hindrance than help.. cool concept and I’m sure something will come out of it

[@thebritishengineer8027]

The wheeled unit I believe is German. As for home grown Cased Telescoped Ammunition (CTA) saw BAE reinvent the bullet. A potential game changer that offers twice the kinetic punch for the same calibre. The round is housed in a uniform cylindrical jacket providing for increased RPM, reliability and selectable munitions without interruption. A small calibre round has already been given to the US, while the 40mm (smart capable) cannon is already available with AP, airburst and concrete penetrator. The concrete round blows a hole in a building, switching to smart air burst it’s distance fused to go off in the building…. all seamlessly selectable at 160 rounds per minute. That air burst round can shred choppers by the way. The 40mm AP can pen 82mm of rolled armour plate.

[@amcrocketpilot4398]

I saw this on Forces News, incredible potential and as you say, Home Grown

[@teejai5291]

Section 2-IC - In the British Army, a section usually consists of 8 troops split into two fire teams (Charlie and Delta), led by the Section Commander, a full Corporal (or 'full screw' in army lingo) and a 2-IC which is the Second in command. Sorry if I've just stated the obvious. Another good review!

[@teejai5291]

Just read some more of the comments and realise it's been answered several times lol. Oh well!

[@greyvoice7949]

They must have changed things a little since my time. We used to have a 10 man section , 2 people formed the gun group (including 2IC).

[@aaronrobinson8491]

I'm going to subscribe man you seem down to earth.... I'm from yorkshire and was in the yorkshire regiment a few years ago now. yorkshire is a county, abit like your 'states' so we name our regiments after some countys. Some are named rifles, 2 rifles things like that aswell. If you notice, the british soldiers have a different accent to most british people you see on TV. we speak very different to people down south.

[@streaky81]

Surprised this is the first time 2IC has come across your desk.. It's very tempting with tech to bring in a lot of new toys all at once, makes the most sense to feed it in gradually and let people get used to working with one thing, then move on to the next..

[@kreemkrackered3755]

In a British infantry section, a 2IC is a Lance Corporal - the section commander is informally known as a 'Full Screw' or a Corporal.

[@theot.e2499]

well not exactly, the section commander is just whichever NCO is in control of the section, could be a sergeant or a corporal. The 2IC just stands for 'second in command', a NCO below the rank of the IC, could be a lance corporal or a corporal.

[@KissTheGreat]

The pack mule looks silly but those legs I bet are much better on rough terrain/rocks than those wheels are

[@duncannash4514]

People saying second in command are right but the 2ic is also the section administrator. And sub fire unit commander. 4 man team.

Vulnerable to jammimg even if it frequency hops. Future battlefield will probably see more jammimg equipment dropped by drone. I was a geek with a gun so that makes me dangerous:) However moving kit up to start lines and to and from echelon levels probably long overdue a deployment. Temperate and desert scenarios probably an excellent solution especially counter insurget, although they have geeks with guns dont forget. Worst ground I saw was tussock strewn Falklands, if it can beat that I want one for xmas.

[@insertnamehere5660]

2IC in a section would be a Lance Corporal, if the IC (Corporal) goes down the 2IC will then take control of the section and organize the CASEVAC with his section

[@playerforty4621]

Couldn't beat them because our hands where tied. If the media and the left stayed away it would have been done and dusted within half the time for both Iraq and Afghan.

[@fat_biker]

@@playerforty4621 The Russians pretty much tried that in the 70's & 80's in Afghan. The 'Kill everything' strategy. There's nothing the US (or British) armies could do now that the Russians couldn't in the 80's, except use munitions that cost 50 times as much to blow up the same mud compounds, fired or dropped from aircraft that cost 500 times as much. An Apache is clearly a much better assault helicopter than a Hind if you are fighting a high tech enemy but none of the multi million taxpayer dollar a shot weapon systems are any better against a Pashtun with an AK than the old fashioned stores on the pylons of a Hind, & the Hind at least had armour. They killed a _lot_ of Afghans, including a lot of non-combatants, & turned a whole generation of the ones they didn't kill into enthusiastic anti-Soviet guerrillas. Also, after you've discovered that it didn't work, the people you ordered to do all the evil that was supposed to be justified by the fact that you would win by doing it would be going home eventually. In short, you'd lose _multiple_ ways & keep losing for a decade or to after you decide to go home instead of just the one boring way. I speculate that the only way to win a war in Afghanistan is the one way none of the empires that have lost entire armies trying to subdue the place have found a reason to justify trying - sending in enough millions of troops to be able to take & hold ground, occupy & 'civilise' the entire country. They call Afghanistan the graveyard of empires for a reason.

[@Dave_Allen]

The Yorkshire regiment is an amalgamation of a number of historic english regiments such as the Green Howards (my old regiment) formed in 1688 to fight at the battle of the Boyne. The Green Howards has 19 Victoria Crosses won including the only VC given out on D Day (the great Stan Hollis won this particular VC). Army cutbacks merged 3 regiments the Green Howards, the Prince of Wales Own and the Duke of Boots.

[@liverpoolscottish6430]

You omitted to mention that the amalgamations have produced soulless, characterless regts- like The Duke Of Lancaster Regt, whose cap badge looks like something that was made in Taiwan and came in a Christmas cracker!
