This footage, from start to finish, perfectly shows the understated but totally professional standards of the British military. It is made all the more authentic by Ross Kemp and his cameraman’s incredible footage from the very front of a proper fire fight. The steely leadership from the Boss and the reactions of the troops to one of their buddies being hit was top class. The reaction of the wounded soldier to being hit was unflappable professionalism at its best. No whooping and hollering, no high fives, just “ it is what it is “, let’s crack on ! Then to cap it off , a combat medic who is clearly at the top of his game. He is the epitome of what it is to be a British soldier. Professional, adept and totally in charge of his skill set.

Hi Theo. Ross Kemp is actually "a big girl's blouse" (his words, not mine) as he came to note as an actor playing an ex-army type in a London-based soap opera called EastEnders, and then the lead in Ultimate Force, a drama about the SAS, sometimes called Ultimate Farce by critics! I think he's done his best work in his documentary series, where he's basically a journalist. It trades on his screen rep as a 'tough guy' but it's actually the most honest thing he's done because journalists are very vulnerable in these situations. I think this video was shot in 2008 with Delta Company, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (5 SCOTS), the 5th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, which sounds like a horrible amalgamation has occurred and was obviously a seperate Regiment back in the day.

I think the whole idea of him doing these documentaries was based on his on-screen image. I give him credit for not crapping out and saying "no way". I liked the first episode of Ultimate Force when the TV set in the CQB 'Killing House' at Hereford was shot out by someone in the Troop because it was playing EastEnders! Nice touch.

He first went to Afghanistan with the 1 Royal Anglian Regiment from Essex (his father's old regiment) in the series "Ross Kemp in Afghanistan", in summer 2007. This footage is from the follow-up series "Ross Kemp: Return to Afghanistan", with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders battalion in 2008. I always found the first season from 2007 much more intense, just pure gunfire, javelin and air-strikes and it is amazing to watch as Ross and the camera crew adapt to being in a warzone. At first they are very jumpy, keeping heads down during engagements. After a few hours of screen-time they are totally desensitized to the whole situation. This second season contained more of the tactical stuff, such as signals intel and the baiting of the enemy. It showed another side of the fight; less brute hardware and more intel.

Best thing about this video there wasn't any US vs UK soldier talk regardless of where your from always respect one and other 💪🏻💪🏻 every man and woman that was out there are on equal level and should be proud

Kemp does good work, his stuff in Africa and dealing with child traffickers and soldiers is brilliant.

Great bunch of lads served with most of them pre Afghan and Iraq..Nick Calder is a fine officer and a great guy...and Hamy with the accent...lol

Top man Ross Kemp is amazing, your analysis was brilliant

[@MJ-nn1ox]

When you think Ross is basically an actor. He has bigger balls than a lot of tough guy actors! Ross has been with drug gangs and other psycho loonies for his TV work, so he's been in some pretty dodgy places. Its worth looking up his other shows.

[@fynnla.e]

I wouldn’t say he’s an actor as acting implies staging, he’s a reporter.

[@MJ-nn1ox]

@@fynnla.e He was in British Soap Opera for a few years before he went all journo on us. Either way he is very good.

more of these ross kemp reactions please

[@malcolmanon4762]

When he first went out to Afghan, Ross was filmed going to the firing range with the guys he was embedded with prior to departure. Needless to say, he wasn't that good a shot and when leaving the range a comment could be heard along the lines of "SAS, my arse" - this was because Ross had played the part of an SAS trooper in a TV series that I forget the name of lol.

[@mitch1862]

Wouldn't expect him to be any good

Next up you should watch Ross Kemp in Eastenders. It’s basically this show in the UK about a load of soldiers who live on a base in the east end of London called Albert Square. ✌🏼

[@natanzaob5433]

Bro, you realise Ross is a national treasure over here in Blighty. That means he can’t do anything wrong and we will always love him no matter what he does. 😂

[@GoreTexTillEndEx]

Yeah this was one of the early Herrick Ops. Back on those days, lads used to stow things like bayonets down the front molle attachments on their body armour; even the Coy Cdr has the zip undone and you can see the actual plate in a couple of parts. Commanders used to do this to keep aerial photos/maps down for quick access. This quickly changed when so many lads had their faces blown off from IED strikes which made everything stowed on molle to become projectiles and blow lads’ faces off 😬. The later plate carriers were MTP and the front and rear plates were inserted from the bottom to reduce the chance of being blown out in an IED strike.

[@slatey2609]

I just don't see myself doing a job like Ross Kemp has without having at least a hand gun😬

[@greengoblin876]

I may ne wrong but If I remember correctly he was trained in the use of firearms in case the Shtf , as British citizens we are allowed ( or expected)to take up the fight if it's a life or death situation when working with our troops I.e surrounded and looking to be overrun.

[@kdot2513]

Great video, it’s good to hear from the perspective of a real US army solider. Ross kemp is a legend he’s put his life on the line in many documentaries to reveal first hand what goes on inside these conflicts and other affairs like gang violence in Brazil 👍

[@Sblackskull]

This was my tour in MusaQala 2008 , was part of the PMT (police mentoring team) training Afghan police,, Argyles (Scottish Regiment) where awesome and Ross Kemp and his crew where top class,,, bullet magnets but stood up to the plate 🤝

[@NightWarp]

Used to watch everything i could from this chap back in the day, he got ball of steel and not afraid to go into warzone.. multiple times.. as well as meet with pirates and gangsters around the world. he was multiple series of videos, guy is a fricken legend.

[@Darthshearer]

Great video. Kemp is great in these and really respects what the military do. You should check out chris terrill in Commando on the front line. He did some of the Green Beret training too.

[@Logicalx]

Can’t go wrong with Ross Kemp, TV actor turn journalist. Had so many close calls with him in the Afghanistan series. Highly recommend his series. 😁👍🏻

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

15:12 an inch to the left and that was game over. Great content keep it up

I hope you do more Ross Kemp 🥶
