Operators Tactics Episode 1 (Radio Comms)

[@camas77721]

I think it's awesome to see Vets passing on their incredible wealth of knowledge. Thank you sir. And thank you for your service!

[@darkslayer13371]

thank you for your service! this is very usefull to me and my new airsoft team im putting together im actually planning on going into the army as a Combat Medic, so I can totally use this knowledge and get a edge ahead in the military for when I join.

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Love you USMC Gents...As always its a pleasure to work with you all. You all are very professional brothers in arms!

[@wezpa]

One of the best and well planned airsoft videos i've ever seen! Keep the good work up! Regards Wezpaa

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Thank you happy to help...I'm thinking about making more of these videos to help others as well...What do you all think?

[@Macrossi1000]

That really was a gr8 video buddy. Big help to me and thanks very much. Keep them vids comin!!!

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

ICOMS operate out of basic bandwidths of store bought Motorola radios. We meant during airsoft games casual players using store bought radios could not hear your transmissions. But you are correct with the right equipment you can hear them...Just not with store bought brands. I used them in the military and trust me there is no connection or possible use between a "Generic" store bought Motorola and an ICOM.

[@christopherle8048]

Great video. Just curious, will the military teach you how to operate a radio in infantry? I plan to elist as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman and I thought some experience could help me out.

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

@cooldude92498 If you are talking about the USJTF the age limit is 15 or above. Thank you for the question and we will be here for the foreseeable future so when you do turn 15 come on by.

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

@NewWhitelandAirsoft No its not silly....Most radios have a 1 or 2 pin connector for Motorola or other radios. Ensure before ordering a headset or microphone device to check for compatibility between the headset and the radio before buying.

[@legosrock1223]

This is a great video. I'm still learning abot radios and this video helped a lot.

[@salat]

Really sad to hear that this kind of injury isn't covered when in military service in the US. All the best for you - make sure you'll stay happy & get old!

[@Murderface666]

I do not miss that heavy ass Army radio one bit... I always dodged being the comms guy, AT and the machine gunner

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Yea all three jobs guarantee you carry an extra 10-20 Pounds. Even being an AG in a MG Team you still hump a lot as well. Those AT4's and Javelins are no joke after a 10-20 mile Ruck march.

[@burnmyuncle141]

On an airsoft field Commander: recon team, give me info about the wooden house in front of you, is there enemy there? Sniper: Runs and slides in the hut quickscopes everyone and gets pulled out and banned by ref for shooting within minimum engagement distance

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

@ctres94 Yes Sir, I was more on practical application and the uses and dynamics of radio communications. We can go in the weeds all day long talking about the specifics of the radio kit. Just an informative video to pass key radio doctrine to others! Thank you for your comments, Brad

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Good question, Know this goes a little outside the sphere of this video however with combat shooting you really want to leave any external attachments (Meaning attachments such as wires that run from your torso to your weapon) off the weapon. Asking for breaking of equipment and wrapping around items :) Are you using two radio nets due to a command function or for another purpose? Also what kind of PTT button are you looking for specifically (Important for Mounting Purposes)?

[@DeputySheriff330]

just because you buy a motorola/icom etc radio doesnt mean they're encrypted. In order to encrypt a radio you need to install an encryption module witch is about an extra 200 dollars or buy a radio with the board installed.

[@RichardsWorld]

I'm sure the cheaper Motorola radios are made in China. For about the same price you can get you a much better radio.. yes also made in China called Baofeng. You can get them on Amazon. You can have dual receive, and with a push of one button change to a different frequency that you programed earlier. It also does VHF and UHF. And you can actually pick a specific frequency instead of a standard channel. Or just use a standard channel. Here are a few of the specs. 5 Watts power. You can listen to a regular FM radio station if you want. You can choose offset sending frequencies for using a repeater. Since it can listen to 2 frequencies you can send on one frequency but listen to a different frequency. The chances of the average person listening to both of your frequencies at the same time would be slim. I have 4 of them and I dropped them a few times with no problems. The only thing that sucks is the chargers were made by some other Chinese company and about half of them don't work so well. I bought them a year ago so maybe they fixed that problem. Frequency Range: 136-174 / 400-480MHz; 25KHz/12.5KHz Switchable 128 Channels 50 CTCSS and 104 CDCSS; Channel Step: 2.5/5/6.25/10/12.5/25KHz Dual-Band Display, Dual Frequency Display, Dual-Standby; A/B band independent operation.

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Did not know this thanks for the heads up!

[@pueblobeek]

You need to obtain your ham radio license before you can use the Baofeng radio. They are also illegal to use on the FRS/GRMS frequencies.

[@Muppetz540]

The man knows his shit guys. I'm an USMC 0621 Field Radio operator. A lot of this information is straight from the schoolhouse. Although I doubt any of you are loading crypto or rolling out with PRC-119 (man packs) Effective communication wins battles, Second to nothing. Semper Fi, Army Dog. Kill

[@codyLIKESbaseball]

Im probably gonna enlist as a 0621 Field Radio Operator within the next month.

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Thank you very Much Sir, Much appreciated and thank you for your service. And you are correct Sir a lot of PowerPoint and a lot of O/C Time at CMTC's. Eight More years till retirement Sir and I can't wait :)

[@NathanHErickson]

Airsoft Snipers in my team gather information before the main assault force can move in. Usually after everyone is in position we give them the green to take the first shot, and then the full Assault begins. Good Tactics?

[@ninjazombie221]

That would forward observation it's a basic tactic

[@mpc7440]

bruh said airsoft

[@kmatac241]

What about radio traffic. What should we say to make the most effective use of the radios.

[@hookdup1927]

you can also try using CB radios they require no licence.

[@kolkjoable]

awesome briefing voice...good job on BLUF, hooah

[@ihatefatchicks1000]

sick video thought great job very informational

[@alexterrel9594]

do you do a podcast on itunes of this?

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Thank you for the tip!

[@sig9287]

Awesome Info!

[@gjoy3515]

Is military radio and airline radio similar ?

[@LetoPartizan]

christomex ahahahahah....... HELL NO

[@optic_panzer5568]

As an airline pilot, I know that we communicate on VHF frequencies while military communicate on UHF band (shorter range but better quality) :)

[@mitchellhood8320]

Aside from hardening (emp, weather, and impact), encryption, and frequency hopping that are usually built into military radios they are functionally the same. They might be different models built by the same or different manufacturers with slightly different electronic components (different weight and power usage considerations play in) but they do the same thing the same way. The military uses both UHF and VHF for short range and long range communication respectively. VHF requires you to speak clearly and somewhat slowly or there can be distortion in the transmission. I'm guessing the reason the person in aviation thinks we don't use VHF is because there are specific assigned frequency ranges that are authorized for use and the FAA has a chunk of VHF set aside strictly for air traffic use that we cannot normally use. But military long range VHF radios are entirely able to just tune into those frequencies and talk to planes or ATC if they wanted to.

[@SuperGrandisle]

Thanks for the great info!

[@kinexboy6214]

When will they post the one for sniper training?

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Thank you Sir!

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

@wezpaa thank you Sir! Glad to help!

[@Hax0rZ1]

Just FYI to those who watch this. VHF/UHF ham bands require a license and encryption = illegal on all bands except certain licensed purchased business band freqs. FCC

[@tanfor510]

Good stuff bro!! -Ninsurgent

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

No problem guys! Anything I can do to help fellow airsofters and better the sport makes everyone win in the long run! If there is anything you all would like to learn let us know! Cheers, Brad

[@vn01208503]

hi do u recommend throat mic? if so, which brand?

[@azuremain]

Good basics. Too bad here in HK the fields are small and the people play like it's a first person shooter video game.

[@johnnelson4508]

Airsoft can shoot those distances now

[@allyourfreindshateyo]

ima make a guess at vehicle borne improvised explosive device but thats just a guess!

[@austinlyons1657]

Nice vid

[@sierracolorado7030]

A third option for headsets are just a simple ear peice that fits in you ear like a bluetooth device and leaves both your ears open with just alittle muffling in on e ear,,,both ears are left open to listen...if you want to see this kind of head set check out my vid about communication

[@pablowithrice1593]

Isn't UH frequency illegal to use by civilians? hmm

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

@CasualtyofWar88 Correct!

[@Pressondude]

You know your website redirects to a porn site, right?

[@5nov688]

true

[@mohammad_bilal951]

hahahahahahahha xd wtf really?

[@newcomer9747]

Where's epi 2?

[@scouttroop291]

super 6-1 ~ uh60 team 1of6 Sg1~ fast call but im dont know that 0530 6to1beding down for the night south of Kandi rock rd 1of6 left sg1out

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

@TheNewCaliAirsoft Yep a good tool!

[@gaypatriot5131]

I strongly recommend going and getting the amateur radio license ($25- $30 for 10 years) to use the UHF/VHF radios such as the Baofeng UV5R. I see a lot of players at my local field running these radios without a license but they are excellent radios with lots of options including basic encryption. 73's, Punisher 3, out.

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Yea for MIL Comms...CIV's Still use them

[@Turret110]

i wanted to join the us army... but unfortunately i live abroad. :(

[@deanazcoolzi4382]

“Security”

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Christopher Le: Most certainly the military will teach you basic radio procedures and operations as it is a basic function every military member needs to know.

[@stevemcgee99]

I've never understood anything I've been told through a throat mic.

[@publicenemynumber1163]

This is echo1-15 reporting do you copy

[@Murderface666]

We don't say "do you copy"

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Atlas78 "Over" and "Out" are words to use...Never say "Repeat" over the net...Bad stuff :)

[@publicenemynumber1163]

word i got u thanks

[@ctrboy2002]

+USJTF Media Command We do say "How Copy" however.

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

The teeth are fixed :) 100% Covered!

[@thematty2303]

stop,drop and roll. you just got burned.

[@usnam68]

Totally skipped over the vhf spectrum of radios which are far better for long distances also some uhf and vhf radios require programming especially the used Motorola kenwood and icom police/fire/ems radios and some radios to operate them you need a license .

[@Clone4115]

lol they spelled alpha wrong, other than that this was extremley helpful :D

[@ihatefatchicks1000]

EPIC MEAL TIME!!!

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Why the shitty comments? Actually I lost those teeth along with the scars on my face in Iraq when a VBIED slammed into me going 40 MPH crashing through a checkpoint. My priorities are my career US Army Infantryman for the past twelve years and BTW my wife and I have been happily married for the last 10 years. Any more comments like this and I’m blocking you from the channel.

[@vn01208503]

oh they are not good?

[@crillusmc]

Lol god i remember that radio...we've almost done away with all of em.

[@jordonkestner9161]

StealthPerformanceCommunication.com Stealth is the next step!!!

[@stevemcgee99]

I do not.

[@MrSKATEitALL]

9:47 I shouldn't of laughed

[@TFU774]

ok boomer.

[@phipsiharry3218]

stop acting like you were miitary or something... it's just airsoft

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

Actually I have been for 14 Years in the US Army Infantry. usjtf.enjin.com/commander . Check your facts buddy and one more negitive post and your banned from this channel.

[@FortPolkAirsoft]

I think he did...Problem is a lot of folks just get jealous when someone makes something they can't do and just write negativity.

[@HerveKeptner]

Grias Eich USJTF Media Command is in The United States Joint Task Force, which pentgon/Nato program

[@HerveKeptner]

Grias Eich wink wink just airsoft

[@HerveKeptner]

Grias Eich you note that cleary this guy was in the military has terms down very good, or was trained by miltary
