Infantry Training with Duke's Company - The Royal Canadian Regiment - 2024

[@Nathanfrisk]

Proud to be a Canadian when I see this training and commitment of our soldiers. Thank you for your service and super proud of you guys. 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

[@TrueNorthDefender]

Dope vid, glad to see the CAF training on trenches.

[@Carol-wc8ss]

Started in 2014.. no reason why

[@MFKR696]

@@Carol-wc8ss Never heard of a little place called Ukraine? WWI with modern weapons, pretty much. Plenty of trench warfare going on over there. Regardless, if there's going to be prolonged fighting in open terrain, there are going to be trenches. It's just the nature of the beast.

[@Carol-wc8ss]

@@MFKR696 yeah, if you were in the CAF around this time(2014), you noticed the switch from GWOT training to trench warfare. I guess sarcasm is hard to gauge on KZbin lol

[@icesniper5840]

did i hear someone over the radio say "fuck off" 😂1:40

[@NLYS27]

yes you did that was histarical

[@osasmaurice1506]

Ya I was like wait ⏪

[@kevindelaney1951]

Great to see motivated soldiers practicing their skills. My time in service 1967-96. The 1st half in the combat arms. x2 infantry reserve Regiments & x1 regular armoured Regiment. Battlefield Drills & Practices a critical aspect of army life. Best wishes going forward.

[@1anre]

Hope the Infantry reserves time didn't see you obtain any Injuries which made you regret picking a combat arms trade instead

[@NLYS27]

Dude this is all good. Dismounts are on point, trench clearing looks like an applicable concept. Everyone looks like they are using a lot of common-sense infantry. The doctrine of the average infantryman is solid. Our Army does lack a lot of what you guys have and makes us jealous. Awesome stuff!!!

[@1anre]

Do you make up for it in other regards, though?

[@NLYS27]

@@1anre The men like squads and firearms do but this is usually due to the failure of leadership. In the US Army, we have a lot of political ideology-driven and incompetent people in charge. Every Amy is always changing so will see how it changes in the future or we get into a near pear conflict and we get all wiped. Thats our biggest fear is having to get smoked for people to get fired or kicked out.

[@josephwilliam9124]

I was in The Battalion from 1979 to 1982 at Wolseley Barracks in London, Ontario. I was there when Prince Phillip came to visit and renamed our company, then Delta Company, to the Duke of Edinburgh's Company. We even got our own pennant/flag with a slogan in Latin. Something about "2 men 1 shovel" I think. It disappeared into the Officers Mess, never to be seen by us again.

[@pascalp1469]

Another great video! I'm in the enrollment process and my specialty will probably be infanteer or armour soldier. I won't be with the RCR, but who knows, maybe one day I'll train alongside you guys. Take care

[@terryg6605]

Back to future! I seem to remember clearing trenches the same way in Wainwright AB. When it was the Operational Training Detachment. We were always told “dig faster, dig harder and you’ll live longer”

[@rtg_]

very much appreciate all this great content.

[@XCimenaticGaming]

Oh nice one dude, gonna be joining 48th downtown as of next September for probably next two years to see if I like it or not we need more like this thanks man!

[@1anre]

Why the 4th and not the Royals also downtown ?

[@XCimenaticGaming]

@@1anre haven't fully decided was also debating between the QOR, there's many options to chose from... thinking about it now might choose the Royals but will decide by my application window.

[@1anre]

​@@XCimenaticGamingI think QoR is also cool. Was just surprised as the 48th being your first choice as if there were other things they might have as an infantry unit that other infantry reserve units actually lacked. That'd have been a gem. I think they're also a Scottish Regiment like the TorScotts

[@XCimenaticGaming]

@@1anre I know a lotta dudes are going to QoR, problem is that the QoR doesn't fit my schedule tbh, training happens on Wednesday nights still a full time student and wanted to try something a little bit out of my comfort zone, I know 48th trains usually Friday nights and one weekend per month which actually isn't bad, but again I still haven't fully decided my choice yet I would probably go QoR if they actually respond but my CO & one of my WO's within my RCAC squadron actually recommended me go to 48th instead despite for me actually wanting to go to the jumpmaster route with the QoR cause unfortunately they just happen to have to train on Wednesday nights again still open to other choices other then the 48th though.

[@PteBloggins]

Great Vid Josh

[@studiodudetv2477]

Dude what a content , I’m literally there too !!!!

[@syn4848]

Hell yeah bro keep the vids coming

[@_Matsimus_]

Great video as always brother! We need to collab! Get me in contact with your PAO! 🙂

[@Kevnadian]

Nice video. From what I've seen open field operations with armour and infantry tends to end in bloody failure in the Ukraine war. Drones that guide artillery, drones that blow up soldiers and even armor. We need technology that can effectively jam drone signals.

[@brucecaron2776]

need more vids like this ,, give her

[@Usnato4evr]

i have no live rounds no empty casings no pyrotechnics and I have all my kit SIR

[@xtramagtheoriginal]

This looks f-ing awesome! Great work troops

[@1anre]

Capt. Bortolotti has a great ring to it. Seems only like yesterday you joined the CAF. Seems although a junior officer, you're still more field time than paperwork time.

[@detch01]

Way back in 1976 in basic (CFB Cornwalis) my platoon was led by MCpl Wally Renough, RCR - tough as nails, fair. I came out of it with great respect for the man. Almost made me want to switch from the Navy to the Army. Almost.

[@2dep4u]

looks like so much fun!

[@thundertube69]

Remember boys be sure to fulfill the Geneva checklist.

[@JoshBortolotti]

Don't you mean "add to"?

[@toetag3480]

Keep at it!

[@ryanbanfield5467]

Peppers, yes.

[@jtcars502]

Bro why does this sound like battlefield 4 loading screen music love it

[@JoshBortolotti]

Because it is, lol

[@jeremythebeer8609]

Cool video. Do the CAF ever train against USA, UK, etc. forces? "Friendly" competitions in their territories? Such as Canadians going against Americans in the Nevada desert (as we do not have deserts).

[@JoshBortolotti]

@jeremythebeer8609 Of course. The 101st Airborne came to Latvia last year while we were there and played the "enemy force". 1 RCR also went to Estonia to play the "enemy force" against the British during that time. It's not so much friendly competitions for the sake of competitions. They are always in relation to real-world training that needs to be done. Canada had done training in some desert areas of the US during the Afghanistan days.

[@barrynewman4456]

Played in that sandbox early 70s

[@nxswad]

almost makes me wanna switch from being a boatswain to become inf

[@VictoriaWargaming]

I would HATE to be mechanised infantry in today's battle space. Drones have changed everything.

[@Graves17]

Just a question I will be joining the Canadian army in 2 years after my application is done do we use ear pro with mic’s for communication?

[@Kevin-np3sx]

Lets go boys, make some noise.

[@TeamStruggleBunny]

Duke's Duke's Duke's!

[@thehuslewithnomuscle1513]

What's this game called? The graphics look realistic

[@montydoker6548]

looks efficient, but those lav's would be better on the move as they wouldnt be prone to atgm's or drones

[@billymacneil3839]

DUKES DUKES DUKE looks good boys train hard....

[@molonlabe420]

How is homie getting away with the ray bans lol

[@loganw9607]

Back to back? Who is this man?

[@BigOaern]

Never thought I'd say this as a blue man, but this makes me want to be a green man. Rock on lads.

DUKES COY 1 RCR!?!? PRO PATRIA!

[@marcusaetius9309]

RCR! Nice to see we didn’t give all our LAVs away to Ukraine..

[@hughjanus4698]

Gosh it looks so cool i wonder why they have a staffing problem 😂 oh wait it's a miserable life

[@FawkQrightfast]

Run chicken run

[@FawkQrightfast]

Alot of memories from Pet. I was a combat engineer at 2 cer for 8 years

[@goblinoK]

My dad was duke's, 2 tours in afghanistan

[@joshh9810]

Why do I get the feeling you’re all getting in depth trench training for a reason? Cough cough Ukraine

[@RYALMATRENOVATIONS]

who assaults still wearing a ruck?

[@JoshBortolotti]

Those are daybags with radios and ammo, not rucks

[@PiperMac55]

Back in the trenches because of Russia, just like back when I joined in 86….always the enemy

[@Bilbs97]

Royal Canadian dogees

[@evansobey1083]

Lads

[@fartingdog20]

Too bad the Liberal Government gutted the CAF

[@osasmaurice1506]

Is this the same weaponry that they use at night missions? …. A PMC gat better weapons than this guy and am not hating on them just saying the fact that the people handling the CAF and politicians are out of earth

[@osasmaurice1506]

Great video…. CAF are cool but I think the commanders and the politicians are just too woke and stupid….. this guy deserves a new model infantry fighting weapons…. To me those rifles are obsolete even if it still works great See what other countries are doing to their military even Ukraine we claim to support are having better equipment than this guys not to talk of USA…..

[@zxrcanada]

5:29 that beard is such a hazard, so gonna get tangled up with something in real battle.

[@RoniiNN]

Is tactical bro

[@headshot8888]

Won't last long against a battery hardened Russia

[@osamabinnickbinladin]

What country u from, bra

[@RoniiNN]

Canadian military is more advanced then Ukraine and Russian.

[@brucecaron2776]

It's agreed that Russia's battle-hardened soldiers would not last long against the Canadian infantry. =)

[@ShmuckCanuck]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha Ahaha Wait You serious bro ? … did… has Putin not told you guys who the “unidentified” nato special forces engaged in direct action in Ukraine for well over a year are bro? Well shit I’m not spoil it for you Yah your right no idea what would happen

[@cliffordmunro3977]

Has noone there been watching the ukraine war

[@RoniiNN]

Yeah that’s why they are attacking trenches.

[@thom4581]

Did you do that like 20 time in the day good job btw👍

[@frostycools1315]

Pro Patria !
