Recce Patrol

[@rdjhardy]

Now that's a proper colour DPM.

[@OrdinProds]

Proper colour is brown, mate.

Those daysacks! Put any decent weight into them and they cut your shoulders to bits. They were awful. But I don't think anyone who has served could say that they don't miss this shit. Good old days lads.

[@davewoodroofe8929]

Gosh. I wish I was any where near this good.

[@TheDaveRout]

Clearly see why British squadies call officers “Rupert’s “.

[@Roddy556]

Interesting mine clearing technique

[@4002corbe]

Issue Tissue …. same detail but with a pair of Danners, windproof, trop-trousers and a Berghuas Munro. Those were the days ….

Did Anyone Else Fall Asleep in This Lecture ?

[@IwasBraveFor2WholeSeconds]

A colonel giving a set of orders to Corporals, shouldn't Platoon Commanders got their orders from him and they in turn would have gave a set to their Section Commanders.

[@Mechanical_Turk]

You should travel back in time and tell these people how to fight their wars!

[@Late87]

Recce patrol can be sent to higher level mission just as the battalion commander said ge needs info and naturally doesent want a broken phone for crucial info for his own mission. The recce coy and ply commanders can handle their own assigned tasks at the same time. Just like battalion can directly command snipers or sappers etc.

Why was a Cpl leading a Recce Ptl for a Bn FUP? Where were the Officers? Mind you, the Cpl seemed to be highly experienced and knew what he was about. Running into an enemy minefield would freak me out!

Fun Fact: This wasn't an actual BAOR training video, but a mockumentary lampooning British officers. It was based on a script by John Cleese, but after two years in development hell and multiple rewrites, it lost some of its humor and subtlety. It was considered a flop, as audiences simply couldn't be fooled into thinking that this was what World War III would look like on the Central Front.
