    What about doing a patrol base in an urban environment? How would we go about that? Future video, perhaps?

    • @discipleaj
      @discipleaj 3 ปีที่แล้ว +40

      Great idea!
      Just having a stab at this but my initial thoughts are that having a PB/FOB just wouldn't be enough. You'd need more of a community approach where the local community is aligned (range of what is considered community would vary according to circumstances) and acts as the line (or additional layers) of defence also.
      Firstly, it makes it much harder for attacks to penetrate against any kind of nerve center such as your PB/FOB where all the sensitive intelligence, command structure and stock of materials are primarily stored etc. But also, if you just have a PB/FOB with no outer corden or buffer zone then it's in serious danger of being hit directly, you can have an attack on your nerve center and not have been able to do anything about it.
      Urban ops have always, to the best of my knowledge, focused on bringing the local community on-side as a means of mutually beneficial defence and a mutually beneficial working relationship and that starts to build the proper cohesion required in order to form a community defence strategy. People have to believe in the mission so to speak and be willing to work for the results. And with results comes confidence and the 'hope factor' begins to build for everyone.
      Of course, if it's your own community, then that would (should!) make it easier. 👍🏻

    Was a mortar crewman back in my Army days. So I would have stayed inside the main patrol base. Either at Company level
    (medium mortars), or, Battalion level (heavy mortars).
    Always leave information of your selected routes. The mortar platoon can follow your route. Can constantly make fire missions for enemy elimination fire missions during your patrol.
    Any changes in routing make sure the command brass notifies the FDC of the mortar platoon. Any call for fire support can be a lot faster.
    If the patrol route is to be repeated get grid coordinates of any perminent object. Can be a large rock, electrical poles, cell phone towers, radio & TV antennas. Buildings and houses. Heavily used river crossings. Especially if the vehicle tracks in the mud are the enemies equipment.
    These will be established as RP's (registered positions) for future use. "Fire for Effect" fire can be PDQ. Ten mortar round per gun section gets 40 explosive shells, each four-deuce round had a 12 foot kill radius. If the enemy is closing in on you patrol position. Make sure you announce "Danger Close" and the direction from you to the attacking unit. If possible use NATO Mil-radians instead of degree's. NATO Mil-radians have 6400 Mils in a circle. Degrees have only 360° in the same circle. Mil-radians allow for better accuracy on target.
    You may not need to go loud. Just a bunch of high explosive mortar rounds going boom.

    also make sure to know the weather forecast before setting up, heavy rains may flood the selected PBs use extra caution in desert terrain, as washes and gorges that provide good concealment, may also become a river in record time. Always have an alternate PB local depending on weather conditions

In the British army the 'rat lines' are called track plans and it is standard procedure to use string tied at waist level along the track plan (between trees) this is to allow better navigation to sentry positions at night. I am not sure what the American terminology for being in sentry is but in the British army it is called goin on 'Stag'.

    Got your own MILES gear, huh?
    I noticed a new hand/arm signal for designating a Rally Point, too...My Army unit used the old hand up in the air and moved in a circle then point at the spot.
    Our SOP for selecting Patrol Bases was to find the nastiest, thorniest, most uncomfortable and hard-to-get-to spot. I remember attaching myself to a tree with a bungee cord on about a 70 degree slope at JOTC Panama when it was my turn to get some rest.

    That was a lot to take in. I guess the footage was from that training execise you were talking about. There's so much of fieldcraft that most people never even think about. We used to do stuff like that in Cadets, but that was 30 years ago and I forgot nearly all of it. Thank you for the instruction.

    @Brent0331 - have you considered doing an Infantryman's Guide episode on field sanitation?

      Solid alcohol tablets used in esbit stoves can be used to sanitize your hands, that or just carry gel/liquid hand sanitizer. Every man going into the field should have wet wipes to clean their ass, you can also use that on your mouth, hands, mess kit and utensils

    Was laying behind my SAW in a Patrol Base, waiting for the Leaders' Recon to finish, near an objective, on a training op at Ft. Drum, half my damn lifetime ago, now. My sector of fire was partially over a wooded swamp. I've got my NOD's on, scanning my sector, and all of a sudden, two of the biggest goddamn beavers I've ever seen swim up and infiltrate our perimeter, about 6 feet to my left.....big fuckers....Christ, I'm from Ohio and I thought they were like groundhogs. Nope, they're quite a bit bigger when you're up close....They start moving toward me and I slooooooowly turn my head.....And boom, there's a bigass beaver face, right in my NODs. Well, Mr. Beaver saw that, and he freaked right out. Bam! He's back in the water and SLAP!!! goes his tail.............Silence.........Then whisper/shouted by my Squad Leader from across the perimeter....."What the HELL was that?"
    Me (Joe New Guy, just transferred in from another unit):......"Ummmm.... Fricking Beavers Sarn't!....Big ass beaver sappers...creeping into the perimeter...I think one of the fuckers had a satchel charge!"
    Him: "What....wha...beavers"
    General snickers and chuckles from around the surrounding darkness
    Me; "Sapper beavers Sarn't, sapper beavers.....I'm on 'em"

    For the so called "ratlines" you can use wood shavings or split wood with the white side to the top or shaved wood sticks to mark the trail for the night. Especially usefull if you don`t have NVGs and your calender tells you that it will be a dark night.

    • @46Shikamaru46
      @46Shikamaru46 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds like a lot of manual work and noise for little benefit. SOP are all different, I've never seen rat trails in a FM before for a patrol base. Our unit never attempted this strategy. We were usually far to exhausted to do anything other than pull security,, wpns maintenence, eat and rest before a night op.

    • @mrd7067
      @mrd7067 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@46Shikamaru46 It depends.
      It was in the german army and "patrol base" doesn`t translate quite right (although it`s simmilar though).
      For more "stealthy" stuff we just slept in/under pines, around 1-2 trees or in our posts. It all depends but if you don`t have night vision the white wood is well worth it and making them isn`t really loud.
      Context always matters.
      The "rattrails" (we called them different but don`t remember how) were so you could get from the place of the group to the alarmpost, into your "fortifications" (usually two man fighting ditches, by far not deep enough to call it foxholes) as well as the way for the night patrols (the use of this night patrols still escapes me since they tended to be quite loud and a source for injury, i don`t remember doing them after baic though).
