I like all your series in this playlist. It gives more insight than the ranger handbook. Regarding the "React to Contact" drill, I would add, I am sure you have heard about this. - In order make the decision to break from contact or conduct a squad attack two basic questions need to be asked and to conduct an attack both answers need to become positive. 1. Can we maintain fire superiority? 2. Is there a concealed flank?
Definitely. Would say in a lot of cases number one/fire superiority is implied by having the numerical advantage. But yes both excellent and important points to bring to the comversation
@@zachthedangerranger I'd say to achieve it you just need a higher volume of accurate fire and is therefore implied by the proportion between oneself and the opponent, being able to maintain it, comes down to ammunition supply, own force's fire discipline/ control, weapon support like indirect fire and the general skill of the opponent. With the questions I refer to "small unit tactics handbook" by Lefavor. I will prefer that over the ranger handbook if I had to choose.
You are a correct, this is a common mixup, 1 is the actual RTC (return fire, cover/conceal, 3 ds, etc), and 2/2A is platoon attack/squad attack. Since we always do them both at the same time, they end up getting used coloquially a lot
Hey man, love your content. I wanted to ask you something. I’m 32 and getting shipped when I’m 33 due to multiple minor surgeries and laser tattoo removal. I want option 40 for my contract. From your experience is there going to be a stigma about my age? I know I’ll get crap and jokes about it and that not what I mean. Thank you for the amazing content!
There might be some yeah, it really comes down to who you are as a person. Gotta be able to crush the standards obviously, and to act your age. Because you're older, there will be unspoken expectations of you (IE having your life outside the Army in order, not doing typical dumb private stuff like getting a Camaro with 33% interest rate, getting drunk and in trouble downtown). Still got to come into it fresh and not think you're too good to be treated like a private. If you go back through my podcast episodes I talk more about "old" guys in Regt
nice content, I have a question about shifting covers. Could you let me know what makes you have to move to another cover. Is there something principal like shoot a certain amount fire from a cover and have to move to avoid being pinned down
Fantastic. Love the discussion on tactics and such. Not even a bored by slides!
This stuff is awesome man! Appreciate these videos. It helps to see a visual of this instead of just reading it from the Ranger Handbook.
Glad to help!
Love and appreciate the content brother, keep it up!
Thank you Neil!!
Thanks!
Another can of chew for the man!
@@jasonberduo9760 You're the man!!

@@ickekoep I’ll have to pick up a copy, thanks for the rec!
Yo! I needed this! Thank you!
Keep these coming please!
When I was in, this was 2a. But I see other videos where 1a is squad assault. What's the difference? Just an update to a FM?
