Exclusive: Welsh Cavalry head to head with elite US Blackhorse regiment

Forces News joined British troops as they were tested by the US 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment 'Blackhorse' whose job is to wreak havoc on visiting forces and make them better soldiers.
The gruelling Exercise Diamondback is a game of cat and mouse in one of the world's most unforgiving landscapes: the US Army's giant National Training Center at Fort Irwin.

I was OPFOR 11ACR in the mid 90s. UK were by far the most professional and humble rotations: understanding of purpose for rotation is not to "win," but to learn lessons and grow. Canadians generally had the wrong idea upon arrival. Quick learners though. Japanese at NTC or up in Yakima had a very odd unprofessional attitude. Indian Army at Yakima were terrific. Very serious and professional. Excellent artillery. Taught us lessons.

Seeing the Mojave of NTC is bittersweet. I love that soldiers are getting down & dirty while being pushed to their limits there but I get flashbacks. 😆 My unit, 4th ID always went during the summer usually in July when it was at least 100 & could easily hit 115. Our Abrams tanks have a lot of electronics inside & no AC so it’s even worse in the turret & driver’s hole. I don’t know if it was malfunctioning but when I read the ammo temperature gauge to enter it into the ballistic computer it read 120. You couldn’t even pick up tools you left on the hull without them burning you hand. You cannot really explain the heat, discomfort, sleep deprivation or the funk emanating off of you after like 18 days in the box training - you have to experience it. Still I love seeing that troops are training hard there & stories covering NTC & the soldiers there are being made. Love seeing our allies especially our closest friends like the UK, Australia & Canada have a go in the Mojave desert training. It won’t be a shock to a lot of Aussies & Kiwis who have some brutal landscapes of their own but UK soldiers & Canadians have no real analogous type of terrain in their countries. I remember seeing a bunch of Aussies in the “shade” which is where we all stay for a week to prep for training before we go out into the desert (“the box”) for 2.5 weeks. You are uncomfortable & miserable the whole time but you feel good training out there because units regularly get to train at such a large scale where its brigade vs brigade level fighting where thousands of troops are involved. One of my unit’s mechanics had a terrible injury out there. My Abrams tank engine blew so we had to split it & repair it. We worked like 18 straights hours on it & then had to immediately join the fray. Anyway when we were reinstalling the power•pack or engine the engine got snagged on the hull. My mechanic tried hitting it in with his arm which got crushed between the hull & 2 ton engine. I had to call in a MEDEVAC & a Blackhawk came because the training area is that large. That should give a clue about the scale of the place & training. Thanks for showing this & hope the Welsh troops had a great time training & learning out in the Mojave. JRTC in Louisiana is not joke & hardcore too but the Mojave is a whole other animal. 11th Cav are total professional try-hards who like to beat you down. They know the terrain like the back of their hand & know every tactic & trick in the book. It’s humbling out there too. It’s like no other experience. Good stuff.🙂👍

[@Philcoxon]

Canada, being the largest country in the world has more than enough different types of terrain and climate, take Suffield to name but one, but Americans seem to know very little about the world outside of there own borders, and we British train all over the world in differing climates and terrain, not just in some US desert. We wrote the book on jungle warfare, infact we had to sort the Vietnamese out, because the French couldn't. And all this while juggling the greatest empire known to man, not bad for a bunch of tiny islands. See all the countries Great Briton has invaded, here on KZbin, you might enjoy it.

[@815thengineers8]

More than a decade ago, the 3rd UK Div did an exercise at the Mission Command Training Program, (MCTP) formerly the Battle Command Training Program, (BCTP). It is an electronic, computer version of the JRTC. The 3rd UK division did OK, but, the General Officer Command, (GOC) was personally embarrassed because of his general ineptness. He was livid with the AAR process where the Trainer/Coaches highlighted his indecisiveness, his lack of understanding of basic concepts of warfighting, and his lack of knowledge of his systems capabilities. But, that is what the CTCs are all about.

[@MM22966]

When NTC opened, they were relieving commanders who lost the mock-engagements. After a bit, they took a deep breath and realized the point was to learn from mistakes and stopped doing that.

[@ianwatson194]

Better a computer program does it than a real enemy force does

[@MM22966]

@@ianwatson194 I don't think that was his point. NTC and other similar training areas exist because "command post" exercises using paper maps (or computers, now) do not replicate the realism or prepare troops to face enemy troops as well as the close-to-real thing that NTC does.

[@chiefkalif9675]

Sounds like what is currently CPXF - command post exercise, functional. I did that some time ago and it was mostly using systems like the CPCE, receiving canned scenarios over radio to test HHCs SOP, and running briefings and commander update briefs with the other units to simulate reporting to the next higher headquarters. It doesn’t count among the CTCs though.

Dragons at War by Dan Bolger is a great book if you are interested in how this was conducted back in the early days ( 1980's ). Some folks have left comments that the NTC turned too much to counter-insurgency style training (for units going to Iraq and the 'Stan) and perhaps needs to go back a little to its roots for the possible next war. Bolgers book is a nice illustration of how that training used to be. Another excellent book set in the NTC is The Defense of Hill 781by James McDonough.

Great video. I love to see our allies at NTC. I've done some work as a contractor there a while back. I am an old soldier who trained for NTC in the 80s. There is a problem with the current mindset. NTC had to be revitalized recently for peer-to-peer combat. The current OPFOR mindset is far removed from the glory days in the 80s and 90s. The "peer-to-peer" part still suffers from too much emphasis on Counterinsurgency OIF/OEF stuff. The current generation of COLs, LTCs, MAJs, SGMs, MSGTs and SFCs are all combat vets from the last war and have no idea how to fight a peer competitor. Few of the currently serving combat Veterans ever experienced an artillery barrage, an attack from the air by fast movers or attack helicopters, an enemy armor assault, or spending hours in a MOPP suit waiting for an enemy attack. NTC is now too much like a football game instead of preparation for World War III. Which is needs to be.

Between NTC and JRTC, I’d rather be at NTC most days of the year. The river crossing is new, or at least I don’t remember that last time. They did move big boulders across some of the crossing into Death Valley, but that was more to force a head to head than to simulate anything as specific as a water crossing. I’m interested to see if any new doctrine comes of it. Just like Geronimo,Black Horse is intentionally handicapped by the scenario and the rules. They will absolutely crush a BCT that isn’t up to par, but the point isn’t to smear RTUs. The point is to teach them, test their TTPs, and certify them as being capable of deployment. You aren’t actually training if you’re just constantly beating them to death, which Black Horse certainly could on a more “level” playing field. Next year I’ll be at JPMRC Alaska, and I think I’ll have done all the CONUS CTCs at that point. I’m anticipating JPMRC to be my new least favorite.
