I get mistaken for a bush all the time. does not matter where I am. If not mistaken for a bush then just outright not seen, not processed, they didn't put those pieces together, that what they saw, was a person, I am nearly always wearing a Serbian gortex coat in "oak leaf" or whatever its called. 5 color, very green, colors fairly large. and usually wearing either OCP pants, or french CCE pants. Also have a number of other coats, and parka's, fleck, rain, swiss. In my deepest cold outerwear I look like a giant bloated green bean or something, just solid OD green....2 shades of green called coat, and boots. That's why I stole a blanket from the hospital.

I always like the point-post-sprawl-crush balls technique. It is exactly like the pps technique but with the added step of crushing your balls and unit into an unseen rock, root, or snag. The hidden benefit of this technique is that if the enemy hears you screaming and thinks you are grievously wounded, he will divert fire away from your position.

[@echohunter4199]

As a retired Army 11BB4 1983-2009, this is the part of our skill package that we hate to learn and use but, it will save lives. Even before retiring I found that the Army has deleted a lot of useful skills a Grunt should know. One was conducting a volley fire attack at an enemy vehicle or position. I taught it to the men in my platoon in 2003 with AT-4’s. It’s true when they say we always train on how we fought our last war. We shifted from European theater and jungle skills to arid/desert climate warfare as well as training to fight a more conventional force (other than guerrilla style elements). I think that many of my fellow Infantrymen on here also cringe when they watch first person video footage of Ukrainians assaulting a dug in enemy with armored vehicle support not to mention aviation and indirect fire assets that can be brought in. It’s as if they gave rifles to the cub scouts and said “go gittum boys!”. They walked right into open/danger areas 30 meters in front of a known position that was engaging them then took a knee behind a 6 inch diameter tree thinking it was good cover as they all looked at each other for what to do next! If this war over there is happening on the scale they say, their Infantry units are seriously not qualified to effectively fight on a battlefield, unless they’re a suicide squad or something. I’ve looked at satellite images of both the Russian and Ukrainian dug in positions and trenches, they don’t make sense in the way they’re chosen and set up, it’s like someone used a dartboard to decide where to put prepared defenses. Yes, they should guard all critical infrastructure sites, all avenues of approach, etc but it’s not happening. And both sides seem to have no clue on how to use a camo net or at least how to do a tactical halt for all convoys. Anyway, I’ll shut up for now.

[@logano1407]

That's interesting, thank you for your professional insight; you don't think the layered defense the Russians are doing with ww1-style trenches - going back several miles that is multilayered - is sufficient? Surely, if the Ukrainians are attacking like that, the russian defensive networks would crush them by swarming after they breached the first line?

[@echohunter4199]

@@dylancounte1448 hello sir, key word in your comment is “react”. There’s different tasks used in reacting to enemy contact/ambush than assaulting a KNOWN enemy position. A US Army or US Marine Corps platoon would use some squads/sections as a base to put suppressing fire on the enemy to keep them under pressure and to reduce enemy weapons fire (it’ll never stop all of it) as a maneuver unit moves to a position on a flank that’s closer to the enemy. At this point we can either “shift and lift” our fire to prevent from hitting our own men as the maneuver element moves into enemy positions and engages at close range or bayonet (which the Army doesn’t use anymore but most of us carry our own any way). We use lots of smoke grenades to screen critical movement and to signal the base unit that we’ve secured the positions or we’re pulling back and to provide more cover fire. Different colors of smoke grenades help us easily communicate even if radios are working, a smoke grenade tells us exactly where our men are and it reduces confusion, same thing with using signal flares. Personally, I’d attack at night since we have quality NOD’s and are well trained to fight at night while most enemies are very lacking and it’s when the enemy is on minimal guard while they sleep. In Iraq and Afghanistan the enemy commonly used ambush tactics to inflict damage then they would break contact and escape as we would bring up more equipment to easily deal with their ambush, just basic hit and run tactics, I suppose I’d do the same if I had the same weapons they have.

[@dreamtobeapolyglot8444]

Very interesting. Thank you

[@JohnDoe-yq9rt]

[@echohunter4199]

@@JohnDoe-yq9rt Seriously? You’re going with that line? LMAO! The word “footage” applies to more than one video, it means many videos are out there that show the same worthless skills those men are using which is perfect if they want to die. Western Armies train to a MUCH higher standard in our selection and training, we don’t allow low IQ people to join in the first place and our leaders are also well trained at each level of leadership. You’re welcome to live in a fantasy thinking all the available footage online isn’t real but last I checked, Ukraine was getting its butt handed to them by Russia.

[@christopherlarsen7788]

Excellent job, Brent. Covering all the techniques, as well as the variations within each technique, is a chore! The reality is that IMT have evolved over the past 50+ years. What the School of the Infantry teaches today is slightly different than 10 years ago...and that is slightly different than 20 years ago...and so on. I believe the Point, Post, Sprawl technique is the latest version of the 3-5 Second Rush. Good stuff!

I have a nephew that made seven 1000 yards shots back to back on a 24"x 24" target with a 6mm creedmore. He is only 13. He then went on to win a skeet match against countless adult men. He even beat his Father. That's what I teach. At 7 years old I taught my niece to take a pistol from a grown man and there was nothing he could do about it!

My grandpa taught me how to "army crawl" when I was a kid, he was a tunnel rat. I have a vivid memory of him taking me gigging and crawling under a cow gate in pitch blackness with my grandpa giving me directions on how to do it.

This is some of the most in-depth stuff I've FINALLY come across as a Civilian. During all this searching I have been doing, I have a question to all my Fellow American's who are Warfighters ( such as the gentlemen in the vid & who owns this Channel ) and this is my question: WHYY am I having soo much trouble finding things on such as small unit combat tactics, and things that would be considered bread and butter when I first came across them: Learning a Frontal Assault maneuver, AND, how that variates between the different structures and or geography that may be making an appearance as you close in on your destination/goal/kill-point. Other then that, I don't have any others because I'm having trouble finding our boys' techniques & tactics. Is this illegal to be taught by Government decree or something maybe?? Okay, I've asked enough, I appreciate you all. May God Bless You All! Also, P.S., if you have YET to incorporate The King Of Kings Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ into your life, pleeaase, I stress that you do so. I may not be a solider, but I'm fairly well-read & competent ( yet, not an "Academic" type though by a long shot...if u catch my drift lol ) on all Christian denominations & the overall doctrine, completely and totally.

Thanks for the video, it's interesting to see that we have very similiar tactics here. Better than our trainers showed as they were either showed it too quickly or told us to do it until we got it right. Used to love training in snow as it helped the transitions to prone and was more pleasant to crawl than let's say autumn and spring mud.

It's great to see you posting lots of videos again Brent... a lot more info since the days of testing camo patterns. Which I fully enjoyed.. I was looking looking back through some of my Dad's old field manuals he'd collected after his time in the the 1st Marine Division, Korea ('52-56).... he'd collected manuals for Infantry Riflemen and placement of overlapping MG positions, etc It's interesting to see how they operated vs. today in our generation and how many improvements have been made...also, some of those basics that really haven't changed very much. But so many other aspects that have greatly improved older tactics. Semper Fi Brother !

[@hindsight2022]

I sustained 2 injuries dropping to my knees to go prone . be especially careful of your selected stopping point and have GOOD knee pads... I ended up going to a modified 3 point sprawl where my knees dont touch. just crouch and extend

[@Dom-py2ow]

That's what we're taught over in the army now

[@prodigalson6166]

I was in service in the Army in the 80s. I modified my bujinkan training to correct flaws in the technique. I put the butt of my weapon down first to give me a controlled fall in to the prone position. If there was covered within body length I would opt to roll to that position rather than a straight drop.

[@atadbitnefarious1387]

When I was taught the "Point Post Sprawl" method to get to the ground, we were told to squat instead of dropping to our knees. It also happened to be a similar to the 2 count movement used to get down to the front leaning rest (push up) position. Which, naturally, anyone who ever served is very familiar with. You plant your feet shoulder width apart. And with your weapon pointing forward you squat down, with your offhand reaching towards the ground roughly between your feet. Then, while supporting your upper body, you kick your feet back behind you (as if you are about to do push ups)and lower yourself to the ground with your offhand in a quick but controlled manner. This way, it minimizes injuries related to dropping down onto your knees, belly, or face. Or with the buttstock method, people accidentally impaling themselves with their front sight post of their weapon (I knew a guy who chipped a tooth this way). It can be just as fast as simply dropping down, but is a safer method. And if anything, will save your knees when you are a decrepit 25 year old who have spent too much time walking long distances carrying heavy things.

[@Brent0331]

That's an option you can use for sure.

Every time I was saying "ah but what about..." you covered it! A great refresher for old soldiers who should never forget their skills and drills and armed citizens who may be new to all this. In the British Army it's Advance to contact and Fire and manouver. The low crawl is called the leopard crawl and the high crawl the kitten crawl. Establishing a fire base with one team whilst the other zig zag rushes forward then switch and repeat is called Pepper potting. Excellent drills as always. Why did I hear Gunny Highway saying "Mr. I hate America who has been trained to kill you" during the initial scene? Lol. The time, energy and expense plus the freely given access to your expertise brings great credit to you and your team brother. Stay safe, stay low and God bless you and your family.

[@Brent0331]

[@robertmosher7418]

Spending my adult life in the Army Infantry, I have never seen a back crawl until this video. Of course we were taught to reduce wire and mined obstacles. I would have liked to have learned that when I was reducing one as getting under the wire to hold it and hand it to my partner who was cutting it would have made it easier to not entangle myself.
