How Small Unit Tactics can apply to civilians w/

[@WARPSPD]

With mall shootings, always remember that all stores in a mall have back doors to back hallways that lead to fire exits. When you here gunfire, run into the store that you are in front of for safety instead of running with “ the heard”. Running with the heard gives a shooter an easier time to pick off victims. When sitting in a food court, sit near a pillar so you have cover AND concealment.

[@est351]

I used to work at a subway, and I would always tell my friends and family, if shit hits the fan, run into any of these food places, there's a back door with LONG ASS hallway leading to the underground parking lot. Where I live mass shootings are not a thing, but you still have to be ready.

[@thestevecbr]

thats herd, not “heard”…but yeah, good advise…

[@WARPSPD]

@@thestevecbr thanks auto correct sucks

Engine blocks in the parking lot, too. Do not hide behind the other parts of the vehicle if you can help it.

[@HitlerlandBoi]

That wud cum particularly convenient from 4:58 - 5:02 cuz it seams like he's crossing in front of ze DJ's muzzle. Even tho, DJ is shooting left from him, but still. Sumone who never done "falling" with ze team, cud learn zis ze wrong way.

[@cas9007]

Mike was tier 2 and became tier 1 in later of his career. He was in cag along with Tu Lam

[@hunterjump3]

Tu Lam was never in CAG. He was always a Green Beret but was attached to CAG due to them taking a lot of losses at the time.

[@tracer353]

They were all Tier 2 then Tier 1. Mike was apart of the unit as a sniper. DJ and Cole were DEVGRU

[@kinch613]

The humility of real world war fighters never ceases to amaze me. Ive seen this my entire life and especially in my LE career. My mentor a Unit guy, who had an elite resume of Tier One real world experience, was ALWAYS learning and teaching. Never an ego when it came time for knowledge transfer

[@Wachpwnski]

You can't be the best if you're not willing to listen to the best.

[@jpipaj]

The best are always humble

[@CiviTac]

That willingness to learn is probably a big reason why hes elite. War is a team sport. Learning from others who play your position well is always a constant

[@pastorbill7374]

Absolutely CORRECT 👍 PREACHER ONE OUT

[@zomday71]

Being a civilian with no .gov experience, but having done some two man shoot and move training, it always blows me away how easy guys at this level make it look.

[@austincummins7712]

Was thinking the same thing, and I don't think people realize that it is more difficult than it looks. When you first see it demonstrated in training you think "oh that's simple, I can do this no problem" and then you actually step up on the range for the first time with another student to do the most basic and linear version of this and you are fumbling around like an idiot, not communicating effectively, hitting slide lock at the worst moment possible, and just all around fucking it up. Then you realize- shit...alright that was much harder than it looked. It's funny how you can "college-brain" your way through a dry run of a drill just fine (off to the side during a break or while other students are running the drill or whatever), but then when you step up and the adrenaline gets moving that "lizard-brain" takes over and you are making the stupidest mistakes again (and then you remind yourself that the small amount of simulated stress fucking you up on the range is hardly comparable to the adrenaline dump you would experience if the targets were shooting back at you). In short, yes, these guys made it look easy. I would love to train with them or have the chance to pick their brains for the little tips and knowledge transfer.

[@mikecraig9007]

Really gotta give a shout-out for this trio working together to demonstrate skills and tactics to us lesser-mortals. It almost looked like they were back in their real element. Cole reminds me of the age-old saying that "still waters run deep." He's typically a man of few words, but you can tell there is a LOT below that calm facade.

[@Pug351]

Our SOP was generally two mags worth of bounding and our ALL SET call was a one word brevity code, we'd do a quick 360, take a LACE, and then PL would designate direction of travel offline of our original bounding direction and we'd head out. We did pick up some cool stuff from Australian SAS and some old sadf guys.Those guys were tough and bad ass. Always great to learn new stuff.

[@jessjohnson4978]

Mike already said it but I think we all need to recognize the importance of constant process improvement. Of course Mike can run with the best and he willing learns from others. These are the last 3 dudes you wanna see in your face! Great video guys!

[@sendit2873]

those guys are so soft spoken you can tell they are very seasoned Thanks for the vids Mike keep up the good fight guys

[@Kaiserland111]

Mike, thanks for asking questions you already know the answers to for our sake. I know you are asking these questions partially to see how Cole and DJ do these tactics, but you've done these same drills and learned the same tactics as they have. We haven't, however, so it's great to have someone knowledgeable asking the right questions that we might not think of. Thanks for the humility, expertise, and intellect you bring to the firearm tactics and survival world. We appreciate you and the GBRS guys.

[@roypaulcarter4654]

When I was taught these bounding drills we were taught to call out the area we were moving toward for example moving fallen tree 8 o’clock 20 yards. This helps you know where your team members moved to when it is your turn to move.

[@dillydoor]

I'm sure it helps you but as a non military trained civilian i prefer less is better and faster. "Moving!" 2nd guy "move!" 1st guy "set" Rinse repeat. That way you don't need to focus to hear an entire sentence. As long as I can pick a good spot and I know my partner isn't going to drill me soon as I'm moving all should be fine.

[@Angry-Lynx]

it reminded me we learned basically the same shit as regular, slow infantry for crossing bridges

[@BattleGn0me]

I rotated out of STA teams back to regular infantry. I used to instruct in dismounted and small unit field applications to fireteam level grunts. I didn't realize the level of retooling required for application in the real world.

[@BattleGn0me]

I used to teach dismounted patrolling and small unit tactics to fireteam level Marine infantryman in the fleet. I've always felt rudderless when trying to mentally apply these concepts out of context. This really helps me visualize how this sort of thing would manifest in a in a situation that would more reflect my civilian reality.

[@DocLois2010]

Great work...We drilled this 40 years ago in Oz during the Great Peace. Memories...Keep it up.

[@Toothpick_Bill45]

Beautiful point made Mike when mentioning the Open Forum. Keeping an open mind to new ideas and suggestions is key to learning new innovative ideas. Of course not all will apply to every situation or service but to learn something new that will and may save lives is certainly what we all are looking for. May God continue to Bless what you and everyone who lends their time to what your doing, thanks brother and stay safe.

We were taught to peel back to the last Rally Point (answering the question how far do you keep peeling) but I guess the All Clear means you don’t have to constantly set Rally Points during patrol now?

one smoke canister is counter productive but a 3 part canister that is threaded together is an option a mini Bangalore Smoke option as it ignites the initiator lights off the other pieces

[@masafarmi7709]

In a peel move one guy needs to keep suppressive fire all time. The last guy keeps firing until he is given command from rear "ready" or he sees a guy passed him starts to fire.

[@llyh8023]

When I was a conscript in Singapore, we did a similar leap and bound movement but shout "On" instead of "Set", and we were also taught to only get up and move after the section mate who had just moved resumes his cover fire from his new position even if you hear the "On" call-out. Noticed that in the final movement when Mike shouted "Set", DJ and Cole left their positions even though Mike hadn't started giving cover fire yet. Of course I'm no expert but im just sharing my observation and what I know from my limited time as a conscript.

[@Aikibiker1]

I have played with this stuff with my wife for getting out of situations where things are crazy, but not to the shooting stage yet. Since she is tasked with evacing our child we try to use bumps instead of bounds. That way, I as the security element always stay between our child and danger, even though my wife has her CCW and carries as well. If things are to the shooting stage then SOP is for her and the kid to get out and not stop while I hopefully stop the threat, or just lay down a base of fire to cover their movement. I then would try to get out myself once they are safe. Glad to see you talking about this stuff and how it can apply to the civilian world.
