Former JTF2 Assaulter - Gear Load Out

[@RTTGunsGear]

I'm shocked (but not) to read how many people are surprised that special operations carry fewer mags than your basic infantry.

I serve in the army of Ukraine, now we are engaged in heavy battles with the Russians, and in the standard scheme I have 7 magazines for the AK-47. Yes, unfortunately the AK-47, and there are still many of them in individual special units. Every day I fire about 700 rounds of ammunition at these savages. Ukrainian land is littered with Russian corpses here.

This made me realize my basic training instructor must have been a JTF2 assaulter even though he never directly said it... he always made us load out with 3 magazines of 27 rounds even though the other infanteers who were section commanders made their guys load out with 6 mags of 30. He also mentioned being part of the 2004 Haiti evacuation and somehow I don't exactly think was was part of his time in the RCR...

[@lebronejhames7265]

You never know there’s a lot in pet and Trenton plus there’s a ton of old 2 commando vets in pem as well

[@Harbinger343]

We loaded our mags with 28 rounds in the early 90s in Pet before there was a JTF 2. 4 mags and one on the gun. The plastic mags we were issued were probably the reason - nothing like opening your 82 pattern magazine pouch and having all of your ammo pop out like a snake-in-a-can practical joke because the retaining lips broke off your magazine the first time that you hit the ground during an AtoC!

SOF operator carries less ammo that a standard infantryman. That aint suprising really, we're talking that a sof operator usually has a very specific mission. They are usually in and out deals, and usually have different kinds of support lined up.

I have used bungee on my pistol. Usually engage while climbing in vehicles and easily pops off while conducting direct action type mission on target. Just my thoughts and experience.

[@direct_action_combat]

Fore sure. Weapon retention is always a consideration and being mindful of the possibilities helps adjust depending on the task. Thanks.

Ya, have done so as well. Prefer the safariland ALS system. It's clean, functional and reliable. A bit more so than the bungee. But I do agree with you. It works. Thanks. Have a great day.

Great video brother! I’m always looking at ways to make my kit more stream line didn’t find anything new on the video but was presented very well. Side not to some of the regular grunts and preppers watching who think he’s not running enough ammo. First off he’s apart of a special ops team who will have a decent amount of info on the job they are going to do. There not have 2 day gun fights in the mountains of Afghanistan lol there going in for a specific purpose and like he said as the mission changes so does his kit. Second for the preppers out there put on all your kit and go for a hike and see just how much weight 10+ mags on is then lay down on the ground and see how far away from the ground you are with double stacks. I’ve had the privilege to train with some of the jtf guys and I’m currently working towards my try out. Wear your gear and try new shit never know you might like it!

Only 4 extra mags for your rifle? I usually had 9 extra 30rd plus one emergency 20rd mounted on the buttstock.

[@AGuy-s5v]

Times change. It's not about being prepped for the worst anymore. Since support and info for each mission is much greater than it was in the past, conventional wisdom has found the idea "only take what you'll use" to heart. No one wants to carry around things that won't be used. No one carries night vision on a day trip sort of deal. Ounces add up into pounds eventually, and too many pounds of weight for too long kills my back and my back-pain-free retirement. Anything I can do to lighten the load is always appreciated, especially if the mission allows me to. If your mission has a high likelihood to engage, take as much as you need (which is everything and the kitchen sink). But if you got a recce type mission then traveling lighter is better. Just take what you need.

Question, wouldn't that rear FAK be inaccessible by a medic if you get shot and are on your back? He would have to roll you over or pull you up off the ground to access it

[@RickyTPB4L]

It’s not that hard to roll someone over. And more than likely their vest is going to be cut off anyway depending on the wound.

[@direct_action_combat]

The thought process is the FAK on the back would be extra kit that a buddy or medic could access if needed. Depending the situation, the body armour may be removed to access the wounds anyway if it was me needing the care. Therefore the kit would be available if needed. If I need to perform self-aid, there’s another smaller FAK carried on the gun belt I can access with either hand. Hope this helps.
