@nvrbetrwhoohoo3941 Unsure. We had Pathfinder Companies during the Global War on Terror, which acted as a special unit for each infantry division. They did reconnaissance, hostage rescue, raids, and, of course, establishing landing zones behind enemy lines. Somewhere between a reconnaissance platoon and a ranger company in terms of capabilities. They phased them out around 2014 or so, I believe.
No, they are for recon/surveillance in support of the brigade they belong to. They do have Pathfinder coded positions so they can perform pathfinder missions if needed, but it's not a focus for them
It’s a multi domain company that got created because cav squadrons are getting disbanded and Charlie troops falls under cav for some reason. Charlie troop was the brigades recon element that also got disbanded so they pretty much just moved them directly under brigade and called them a different name.
Upgrade those drones with scensors to avoid branches and guards around propellar blades... Ai drones that can maneuver independently like a forward observing dog....
They aren't anything like force recon. They don't do deep reconnaissance or direct action missions, they are focused on reconnaissance, surveillance and information collection
Been there done that, did a lot of recon with a unit just like this for three years. Definitely not as cool as it looks lol! Very hard work and very underpaid and under appreciated by even your own unit and higher ups, had some cool SGT’s but not many.
Ft. Campbell does have a Cav unit that most aren’t aware of. I spent 6 years in D co. 2/502nd INF and I haven’t heard that they moved or disbanded. They have their own area separate from the main base we call “Cav country” and they also have a air Cav detachment not far from their compound. That’s the best info I can provide.
All BCT Cav Squadrons are being deactivated, and a single cav squadron is being activated as a division cavalry squadron. The dismounted recon troops in those cav squadrons are being reflagged as the brigade recon company (like you see in the video)
It’s interesting to see how the army infantry even the 82ns and 101st are still useing pros and ACOG’s while all of the marine infantry are using lpvos now.

@@mrvladimirputin9828no that trope that the marines get old gear was only true during ww2 they’re better equipped than the typical army infantryman now
So it's an IBCT's RSTA squadron's dismounted reconnaissance troop, basically, but with more UAS capability and a smaller scout/sniper element. Nice evolution but this isn't really a game-changer.
Soldiers Assigned to the new Multi-Functional Reconnaissance Company, 2nd Brigade Combat Team (Strike), 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) take part in Operation Lethal Eagle for their first large scale field training exercise at Fort Campbell, Ky., April 27, 2024. Strike Brigade is one of the Army’s first units to prototype the mobile brigade combat team (MBCT) concept. The MBCT will be lighter and more lethal while providing increased mobility to close combat forces. The Army is undertaking its most significant transformation in more than 40 years to dominate in large-scale combat operations in multidomain environments. Through Continuous Transformation, the Army will maintain dominance against rapidly evolving and emerging threats in an era of dynamic change in the character of war.

Now, when you're not wearing a ruck all the time you can adjust these newer rigs, so that it is higher. That fanny pack can contain a blow-out kit, batteries, twinkies, or whatever you think you need quickly.

They’re just a newly formed Brigade. It’s going to take some time to work all of the bugs out to make them a highly effective Combat Brigade. I’ve heard them running exercises at all hours of the day, even at 0200 hours.
@@RobertHamm-u7c everyone in OLE is doing stuff at 02 and they are doing the exact same thing they were doing before just with drones now lol
@@JackHammer-vk6jv it takes time to implement new tech to work out any bugs during field operations. Just like when NVG’s were first put into use. It took time for us grunts to get used to using them. We were staggering around like drunks, tripping over our feet, rocks, tree limbs, depressions in terrain, trying to get used to the green light frying our retinas. Give them time, and they’ll be running like a Rolex.
What are they hunting or killing? They look like any other low grade regular infantry unit. In fact I'd say they look WORSE!
Do you have reasoning for saying that?

Of course he doesn't. The only things missing from his post, are the Three Billy Goats Gruff. -_-
They can play all the games they want, but with Russia, you are not playing games, it is for keeps, and I highly doubt these games will teach to "keep"
You guys need hair cuts WTH man ,
While troops in Ukraine are conducting war remotely. I guess the US Army is too focused on pronouns and gender to learn modern concepts.
Genius comment, nothing relevant to the video at all though
This is 100% a LRS mission. I love it only took the Army 20 years after disbanding the Division and Corps LRS units to realize It was a stupid fucking idea.
They will be lighter forces? Oh your low back pain is not service connected at this time. Infantry is never lighter
