I loved being a scout for 10 years. Not alot has changed even with all the technology. Most people have no idea scouts still exist and/or have no idea what we do. Thx for the video
As an infantry scout I leaned that large formations of "enemy" soldiers don't really gaze around, they just plod on. On one exercise I was in fairly open area with little cover when I realized the enemy were nearby and the only place I could hide was in a tree. So I climbed the tree and watched an entire company walk past a few metres below my feet. If one of them had looked up they would have easily have seen me. But no one looked, so after they had passed I was able to evade them and get back to my own side.

Good to see scouts getting some re ognition. All we hear is about romans is either how great their engineering was,admirable their discipline was, or how shit their cavalry was. Not to mention politics of course.
That is because they were excellent at engineering and they had probably the best infantry of the ancient world, so that's what everyone talks about. I'm actually baffled they made a video praising the scouts, because every historian agrees that Romans were exceptionally BAD at scouting... Many of their worst defeats are linked to scouting mistakes.
@@ktheterkuceder6825 I wouldn't go that far as to call them shit. Obviously not perfect, but the Republic had one of the most advanced political systems of the time. And in terms of law, they were way ahead of its time. Roman Law still serves as foundation on all Western countries.
I *loved* this episode. This like logistics, reconnaissance, and other non-combat parts of an army's life is quite scarce in this kind of videos and I always deeply appreciate learning more about it. And this one was excellently researched and narrated. I learned a lot I had no idea about.
I think it's really fascinating that such a vital role of the army was filled by common soldiers, auxiliaries even. The top of the command structure and other key positions were usually filled by aristocrats, and yet here we see ordinary men advise aristocrats on what path to take. This just proves once more that the success of a campaign depended less on the high-ranking politicians than they would have liked everyone to believe. I find it surprising though that the procursatores and exploratores were seemingly chosen at random and were not a distinct, elite unit. I mean sure, the video mentions that there were some characteristics procursatores and explorates had to possess and were selected for, but I still wonder how accurately they could relay the information. Did they even know how much water and food the army consumed each day, so that they wouldn't accidentally recommend a path where the logistics failed and the army started to suffer from attrition? A really interesting video for sure, can't wait for the next one! Keep up the great work :)
Giving the troops recognition of their work is surely a reason Caesar's legions were so loyal. He didn't take all the glory. At least from my understanding.
I guess they probably picked those who had experience in hunting, tracking, though how could you know about those things for every soldier. And like they said Casear usually sent out Germanic and Galic cavalry which were natives to the lands where his most famous campaign happened.
@@ChunkyWalnutX Yeah, using allies that were familiar with the terrain surely helped, although then you were always running the risk of them betraying you and possibly luring you into an ambush. I suppose it's a double-edged sword; if your allies proved loyal then using them as procursatores and exploratores was definitely worth it, but if they didn't prove loyal then the entire army was at risk.
I guess that's because, even if their job was vital, at face value it wasn't rocket science. It was like: Dude, go in THAT direction and tell me what is there, pay special attention to (whatever was of interest at the moment) and come back to report in X hours/days. After their report the commanders made the decisions. I mean, it's explained pretty well in the video.
I agree with you. I find the late Roman army to be kind of fascinating, and the elite Auxillia Palatina units especially. Because for so long, we all tended to think of the late Roman army as a objective downgrade from the Imperial Legions, but if it weren't for them, the Roman Empire would've fallen centuries before they did. And if the Auxillia Palatina units were supposed to be their elite infantry units, they must've been fairly good.
an finally will work down to the occupations of the wagon trains that trailed the legions - not just the teamsters but also the women and their occupational role
Great episode. It's pretty awesome that 1700 years later the British army was using professional Native American scouts, my ancestors - who were also used as elite auxiliaries.
This job seems like a fun and exciting mini adventure within the scope of the army campaign. Just you and a handful of other soldiers on horseback roaming around the countryside taking notes and interacting with locals then moving on to the next area and occasionally sending out riders to report back to the army.
Probably a lot of avoiding and hiding from enemy, and if they came into contact it would have been them vs a major enemy force Still true with recon units today. It's less going on an casual walk through the countryside and more trying to avoid and hide from enemy patrols, and if you came into contact then God help you. In Vietnam the LRRP (long range reconaisance patrol) units would perform reconnaisance in Vietcong territory. Their casualty rate was 100%. Wouldn't want to imagine being a scout before automatic firearms where a small team could somewhat match the firepower of a large group
This video helped me plan some D&D sessions for one of my players who wanted to be a "scout". Gave me ideas besides sneak and look for people. Great video as always.
Exploratores were true survivalists , imagine in times of alexander , this type of troop conquererd the enemy desert long befor the main body of the army .
You should make a Units of History episode about the Late Roman Auxilia Palatina units. Because I've become fascinated with how the Late Roman army, which a lot of people look at as a downgrade from the Imperial Legions we all associate with the Romans, when in reality, it helped hold the Roman Empire together for several more centuries than it would've otherwise.
This is one of those videos I'm looking forward to. Since I'm a military scout myself. I'm quite surprised that most if not all of these things is still relevant in modern times. It makes it much easier for me to explain myself on things I do during my military service without being too nitty-gritty with the details on this.
Due to the topic this was one of my most anticipated episodes and due to the presentation, information and overall quality it is my most satisfying and favorite to date, thank you!!!
This word, Exploradores, is still used in Portuguese. It literally means "explorers". In 2 thousand years the only change to the word was that the "T" became a "D"
The British Army used Exploratory Officers in much the same role. These men were usually high ranking officers mounted on thorough bred and corn fed horses riding in full uniform behind enemy lines. Lieutenant-Colonel Colquhoun Grant was one of the more famous ones during the Peninsula War from 1808-1814. Was captured by the French sent to Paris under Parole but later escaped and passed himself off as an American while at large in PAris.
It’s nice to hear about the scouts even though in most big Roman campaigns they will have army’s show up right next to them with practically zero warning...
@@michaelpeters6659 considering that most of the places rome invaded before becoming an empire were NOT organized armies, they were all about raids and ambushes. and also, still, outscout someone in their homeland is a feat to consider^^
@@udozocklein6023 valid points mate, I also think that the fact that the Roman’s build a damn fort every single night on campaign means that the scouts could afford to miss some small things and it still wasn’t a fatal mistake
My father was a Combat Infantry Scout serving General Patton’s 3rd Army. Dad was awarded the Silver Star for the Battle of Metz. These scouts were a volunteer unit under G2.
Was in mid 2000s light cavalry unit, didn’t know we went back that far back, current doctrine is very good, hard to believe not much have changed except improvements.

May you do a video about diplomats? We always hear about civilizations declaring war, making threats, alliances and much more. We never hear about how this is possible and who makes it happen. Does a diplomat spend months on a voyage and back? It would also be great to know who sends messages. We always hear about people receiving messages for aid, battle defeats, rebellions etc. I just want to know how did information spread and who relayed all of these messages and information.
According to Book 1 of Livy’s history of Rome, after Rome had been injured by another state, four _fetials_ were sent out to seek redress. One member, the _verbenarius_ , carried herbs gathered from the Arx on the Capitoline Hill. Another member, called the pater _patratus_ , served as the group’s representative. Upon reaching the border of the offending state, the pater _patratus_ first announced his mission and addressed a prayer to Jupiter in which he affirmed the justness of his errand. Crossing the border, he repeated the same form several times. If, after 30 days, no satisfaction was given, the _pater patratus_ harshly denounced the offending state and returned to Rome, where he reported to the Senate. If Rome decided to wage war, the pater _patratus_ returned to the border, pronounced a declaration of war, and hurled across the boundary either a regular spear or a special stake sharpened and hardened in the fire. This ritual was supposed to keep Rome from waging an unjust or aggressive war. If, however, the hostile country was far away, the spear soon came to be cast upon a piece of land in front of the Temple of Bellona in Rome; by a legal fiction, that land was treated as belonging to the enemy.
Must be where British Napoleonic era Peninsular exploring officers took their name. They rode fast horses, scouting for the rest of the army. They also wore full uniform, hoping they wouldn't be executed as spies if captured.
The content is great! This and the Roman supply lines doc are my recent favourites. The artwork is amazing too, any chance I could my hands on them,I would like to have them as my wallpaper. :)
