INFANTRYMAN'S GUIDE: Basic Hand & Arm Signals

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
  • In this edition of Infantryman's guide, we will look at some of the most basic hand and arm signals organic to the individual infantryman.
    For more information about these hand and arm signals, please Goggle search the publications I listed on the reference page of this video. All of those pubs can be easily found in a free downloadable PDF format online and available from .mil websites.
    *Clarification on two of the signals guys: In this video I stated two of the signals are called "change direction". In Scouting & Patrolling MCI 0336 both of these signals are listed as such (Change direction). However, in the Marine Rifle Squad MCWP 3-11 one signal is called "Change Direction; or column right/left" & the other is called "Shift". Both are essentially used in changing a direction of its intended recipients.*
    Thanks for watching.

      I watched this with Ed Shames, the last surviving officer from WWII's Easy Company. He said these were the same signals they used in the ETO in WWII. Really handy for attacking in terrain or especially street fights. With rounds going off everywhere nobody can hear shit anyway.

    This was immensely helpful for a sci-fi story I'm working on. Don't have it memorized, but I added it to a playlist for future reference. I especially liked the demonstration of a sequence of signals in a "real" situation. Funny thing is, I'd probably never actually describe the signals in the story because nobody wants to read, "he raised his right arm to shoulder level and flapped his hand up and down." It doesn't make for gripping reading. But knowing what they are and how they are used gives me a clearer picture of how my teams would operate.

    Every day in the office I use a hand signal I learned in the army . When someone asks a question you take your thumb and forefinger and make a circle. Place that circle over your nose so your nose is poking through the hole and move your hand forward and back 1/2 “ or so.
    This hand symbol means “Fuck Nose” and is short for “Who The Fuck Knows” and is the correct response to questions like “Is boss coming in today?”

    Many today may feel this type of training does not matter due to modern forms for technology however we still do use it often especially in combat. In the armored cavalry unit I served in we always used these signals along with radio transmissions to reinforce the muscle memory of the hand/arm signals. And why you may ask? Because comms often go down when you last ever want them to & sometimes you are so damn close to the enemy on a dismounted patrol you can't speak aloud! Very good training for any militia unit. Ask a recent combat vet to lead your people in this type of training and reap the rewards! Bless all the Patriots of our great nation & stayed frosty lads, Virginia is just the beginning!!

      RJ Walls yep. It’s not like at the range when you know exactly when it’s going to get loud and have time to put in the ole ear plugs. The surefire ones are nice, but when patrolling they block too much of the subtle sounds you need to be able to hear. And when out, you just can’t pack enough batteries for the active hearing amps/mufflers. That’s one reason why I’m working on some new battery tech to cure that issue.

    I trained my Big Black Shepherd some of the military hand commands. Like come-to-me ,down etc. Along with whistle and voice commands. If she was far away, if there was loud noise ,machinery, or it was inappropriate to yell or talk I used hand signals. She would respond right away. got some weird looks from people ,but it was very effective. Teach your dog as a puppy basic military hand commands.

      UVB76 -4625KHZ. I had a Dobie in the late 80s through late 90s named Principal Agitation (Prince for short), that I taught to sit, lie down and come with hand sigs. I started with both verbal and hand sigs (example: saying sit and using my arm extended toward him, hand in a fist and flick wrist up) then, used only the signal. He knew both so I could yell or give a visual even if he or I were not looking at each other. I was in my mid-teens when I taught him so I made them up, easy to teach, and worked like a champ. It wasn’t for hunting or survival or work, just for fun and practicality but highly effective.

    What a great video and Army Rangers is not that different . Enemy in sight - 2 fingers pointed towards your eyes and then point towards the enemy . 4 fingers pointed down = 4 enemy crouched . 4 fingers up = 4 enemy walking . 5 fingers rapidly "flashing" = more than 5 enemy . Thanks for your video .

    Thanks for this. I'm a Civil War reenactor with Company B (Mobile, AL) of the Confederate Sates Marine Corps. We often team up with the 1st South Carolina, or combined 27th SC Sharpshooters to perform skirmishing tactics to begin battles at our many events. These signs and signals probably weren't used 1861-1865: but, I think we'll have something new (or slightly modified) for the crowds to see this next season. Oorah! God bless.

    Great video covering these basics for non-operators/preppers.
    I feel too many focus on just their guns/shooting them and 'maybe' their kits; and far too little on basically everything else: hand signals, improvisation (expl, maneuvers, unexpected situations), breaching/room clearing tactics, first aid or field surgery knowledge (cuz in a SHTF situation a hospital prob won't be an option, your group has to be able to do this too if they wana save somebody), making traps, land/sea nav. etc

    One thing was crossing danger areas was "Scroll to the Road" or "Patch to the Road" meaning security on both sides and crossing either alternating method for silence and stealth or post both guards left and right so the entire squad or platoon can move quickly across. Both can be used determining your situation in combat. Enemy Observation Posts or any OPs can see large groups moving really fast before an attack. Once combat is initiated it won't matter. Stealth has some mode to it but you as an attacking force has to move fast so the enemy has no time to react to your offensive move. Goes either way. That is also subject to Murphy's Law of combat like in the Old West. The guy who draw the fastest gun will not be alive for the guy who already has his gun out and aiming at you.

    • @Brent0331
      @Brent0331  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
