When I was serving in the danish Army, we had a major military drill. One night we slept in an abandoned barn. Two soldiers stood guard up in the attic. The next morning we found them tied up and mouth gagged, with a note saying "Have a nice drill - Sincerely, The Hunter Corps". They also stole some of our food rations. Huge respect to these assholes ;)
We had a Huntsman at Sergeant School, who once in a while, dropped into our class, and gave us some tips. I recall him as an arrogant type of personality, did not like his attitude. But he knew what he was talking about. No doubt on that account.
yes even Mosad have respect for these hunters I know a few Israelians they have been in Israelian special forces they always say we know when they are here but we cant see them
@@ThePRCommander Weird, I recall a saying; "Danish special forces are not just the best soldiers, but also the best people." Could have been the first arrogant Huntsman ever or maybe just an arrogant rookie sergeant taking it too seriously. ;) Just kidding.
@@ThePRCommanderMy dad worked at a parachuting center as a packer. The place was a popular hangout for SF-guys. Frogmen and Huntsmen. We used to play there as kids, when we visited dad. One former Huntsman came off as having a kind of coarse personality, to me. People who knew him closely, had stories about how much fun he was to be around. I did not like him very much and those stories confused me a bit. I later realized though, that every unpleasant encounter I had with him, was him trying to warn or protect me from immediate dangers, such as aircraft propellers mostly.
In Danish, Swedish and Norwegian culture shouting at someone is considered "rude" or a lack of control (unless in combat). It is a massive cultural difference. You can get things done by speaking and being clear.
It's different in speciel forces. They dont scream because you can leave at any time and you asked to be there, so if thats not enough to get you through the education they dont want you and they wont scream of you, because it gets easier to do something when someone scream GO, GO, GOOO If you cant do it on your own, your out. If you see Army Rangers they scream a lot. Green Beret and Delta Force, they dont at all. I was i the danish Army for 11 years. Stopped in 2006 and then the sergent shouted because a lot of soldiers had to be there for 10 months and couldnt leave.
@Bessie Hillum i didnt use the C7. Actually dont know what it is 🙂🙂 The Army got a lot of new equipmemt after i stopped. It's pretty good today. The conscripts is to have Army knowledge in the broad public. It's getting easier today. Its just 4 months and pretty laid back today. From these soldiers they then make the standing Army.
I think in general i most european armies there is not much shouting except when orders are being shouted out i found that in british army i fid if you really want it you will do it without being shouted at
That's true. Shouting too much is considered a sign of lacking maturity and control over the situation. We have very little respect for yelly authorities.
I love how you focus on a diverse range of armed forces. Too many channels that focus purely on North America, whereas your channel gives us a glimpse into other armed forces we may otherwise never hear about.
fortunately, a viewer translated the program for english. the others i did i had to do jarhead translations but its fun to see how our friends do things as well.
@@JamesonsTravels Why cut the fluff tho? honestly, even as a Dane i like hearing other people doing research into "our" culture and such, i fdind it interesting both because i get a foreign perspective but also sometimes i even learn something i didnt know. So please, continue with the fluff part too
@@JamesonsTravels Danish forces largely served alongside US forces everywhere, i suppose the politics of that is debatable. But the actual soldiers are praised far and wide. In the case of the Jaeger and frogmen cores, theese are world class elite forces. Sure you can argue SAS or rangers etc doing one or other thing better, but the overall esimate will be fully on par. The real interesting part is the differences from Danish to other special forces.
At my last job we lost one of our best electricians to the Huntsmen Corps, guy was a genius with regards to improvising solutions on the spot. He was a really creative type very skilled at R/D and Product development work, also the type you send out to restore or repair a 30 year old machine that was outfased from production and nobody remembered or recognised. Great guy, a real loss.
I love that you don't only focus on american armed forces, but that you actually have a general interest on the rest of the world and their structure of military and training methods. Regards from Aalborg Denmark. (Brithplace and location of the huntsmen)
J.T. please do finish the Huntsman Corps. Otherwise jobs only half done. I found it very interesting and informative and of course being a Veteran myself I'm a any military junkie. I want to know about them all, especially lesser known ones like this. Thanks Marine.
I used to date a guy that tried out for Jægerkorpset. He told me something I will never forget, that what they value above all are team players. He said there were some extremely athletic men and big egos, but “It doesn’t matter if you’re goddamn Superman - if you can’t do TEAM WORK then you’re not part of the Team. Period.” I never really thought about that, but it makes perfect sense because they work in small teams. They have to be able to trust each other 100% of the time. Then I noticed it in the Navy Seals and their BUDS training, too. Those team exercises where everyone is pushed well over their limits, so they can determine who are fighting for the team and who are there to polish their ego.
The Huntsman are the equivalent to the US Delta Force. Infact in 78, two of our most prominent Huntsman was invited to complete the Ranger course, of which they placed 1st and 3rd.
Desværre ikke :) Jæger Korpset har en hel anden missions beskrivelse end US Army Rangers. Ja de deltar i øvelser or kurser fra andre enheder men det er mere en overføring af færdigheder, men ikke for samme missioner. Translation: Sorry no :) The Jaeger Corps has a completely different mission profile from the US army rangers. Yes they do join in other courses and do well, however, that is for transfer of skillsets but not to have the same mission profiles
Definitely continue coverage of the Jaegerkorps… My wife is a Dane, so this is particularly interesting for me. Also it’s good to see how our NATO allies approach special forces training.
@@bluehotdog2610 That's the sentiment of the Huntsmen, themselves. They don't look down on those who don't make it. Quite on the contrary. They know better than anyone how hard it is, to become a Huntsman. You have to be quite a specimen, to even make it to the selection course.
@@silasglam2452 I think it depends on a number of factors: Did you quit yourself or get or thrown off the course and why?. This class has repeaters, for instance.
As someone who has been through all this training, for anyone wanting to join up, make sure you have both upper and lower body development to a high level, engage in rope climbing, swimming, running, pushups, pullups--do it for six months before you enter the military.
Yes, please continue with this group. Looks very interesting. I like that they allow civilians to join---there are some amazing folks who sound like they have a lot to offer their mission that may not be in their service. Love they use trainers that are older. So much knowledge getting used instead of discarded. Very cool of them.
An old coworker once told me (in regard to the British military) something to the effect of: If you go into basic training expect to be shouted at but helped up when you fall on your face. If you go into elite training (RMC/Paras) you're expected to pick yourself up while being screamed at when you fall flat on your face. If you go through UKSF Selection, expect no one to offer a single word of encouragement or to scream orders at you, expect to fall flat on your face at every turn without a single word from anyone because you're there to prove you don't need someone to tell you to get back up.
Please continue. Interesting to see your perspective. I’m from Denmark and have worked with the Frogmen Corps, so it is pretty interesting to hear your thoughts
I'd be willing to translate a documentary on Denmark's arctic commandos, who live alone in the wildernes of Greenland and enforce Danish sovereignty there
To reinforce your comment of ''why would you go this, unprepared thinking you can do more'' I experienced this during SAS selection. I was in the Army reserve for 6 years prior and spent 2 years training for selection, all while with shin splints I was ready for it, and dreamed about it since I was a child.. All my training and practice marches were very successful, the time came and I burnt so much nervous energy at the pre-selection that I just didn't have it during the actual selection. I didn't make it that far out of the 10 day selection and was very ashamed. Some prepare for it but when the day comes its a different story. It wasn't meant to be for me and it is my biggest failure in life but the training for it was well worth the journey. I was invited back to try again but I got into boxing instead as my knees were getting too damaged.
Taking first steps to go into Armed Forces Reserves, and staying past recruit training put you above hundreds thousands of others who just could not be bothered to volunteer. The guys in 21, and 23 would still admire you for serving. You tried, and did your best, and are still willing to defend your Country.
Hey JT, YES I would love it if you had more episodes of this. That's the kind of guys that you want. Totally self motivated. Out there proving himself every day, to the rest of the guys. I love it!
you have something called "patruljekursus" or "patrol course" before even attending so-called "bud/s". it consists of field training, combat action and a minor taste of the armed forces daily life. if you pass that, then you walk on to the "bud/s" and do what you see here and so on
Man you're my all time favorite commentator on these kind of videos as you bring perspective to the video. Thanks man and please make one more video. Peace from 🇹🇭🇩🇰
As a dane, I appreciate the insight from another corps into our special forces. Id very much like to see your continued coverage of the danish Jaegers.
My dad was a Huntsman back during the cold war, he can't tell me a whole lot about what he did during active service, but he did tell me about some of his drills, sneaking up into the enemys HQ's and observing and gathering info for several days, before simply sneaking out again without ever being spotted.
Yes please continue you know what you are talking about....and we in Denmark are fan of your analysis,,, I did service in a panzered infantery Company and were hunting these boys around - man they kept us awake for a whole week.... at last they turned the scenarie and took us out platoon after platoon and group after group...... later at evaluation they showed out to be only 6-10 guys - pretty amazing
Sometimes, people without any military background bring a different viewpoint. Combat skills can be taught fairly quickly, but a different viewpoint can't be taught.
@@JamesonsTravels We had a few guys at San Diego who showed up out of shape and it dragged the rest of the platoon down. They couldn't hike or run or do pull-ups. They should have been sent home right after failing the IST. I also think that the IST should be moved to day one of receiving week. There's no reason to waste money giving recruits dental exams, medical exams and a whole bunch of shots if they're just going to fail the IST. But hey, I don't make the rules, yet.
I think it's very interesting to have Special Ops who are also an engineer, electrician, nurse, IT-specialist, organiser and who knows what. You might discover skillsets or combinations of skillsets that are advantageous that you might not have considered otherwise. Same with viewpoints or mentalities. Cooks could be particularly good at handling stress in a team setting etc.
@@AC-zy9tz USMC here 1966-72, Vietnam 68-69, Plt. 119 Feb 67 MCRD PI. The Marine Corps wouldn't send fat bodies or out of shape recruits home: they'd send em to motivation platoon or fat bodies platoon and work hell out of em, put em on restricted diets, keep setting them back until they could graduate and cross back over that causeway on their way to ITR at Lejeune. That's the way it was when I was in the Marine Corps; I don't know what the hell they do now. I know that the DIs turned out some real tough bastards for Vietnam. I served with some of em. Semper Fi! I enjoy the subjects.
@@bubbalong7646 LOL :-) I am danish btw. Its named after the star that is shining the brightest at night in Greenland. The Sirius Patrol is the danish polar special forces!
@@michaelkock4103 Thanks! I know. I was trying to make a lame joke. Danish and other Scandinavian forces are very good. Glad they're on our side! (I was in the Marine Corps in Vietnam 1968-69, 1st Marine Division.) Semper Fi!
Would love to see more. I particulary enjoy seeing your open minded and super respectful approach, no bravado, no nonsense. You're great company to watching a very interesting show!
If the instructors drop you from the program, you get two options: One, they invite you to try again next year. Two, they just tell you you're not Huntsman material. It's not up for debate. And getting invited back means they like what you brought to the table, but you need a little more. It's hard for a lot to be told they didn't make the cut or got dropped during the trials.
As a Dane, I have always admired The Huntsman & The Frogman Special Cores for their military professionalism and “secretive” importance in (presumably numerous) missions internationally and domestically. I find great joy in having a allied professional reviewing and debating these cores training and selection - so please continue! 👍
I'm sure there will be more videos coming out about the Afghanistan debacle. Would love to hear your thoughts, and a video on what's going on out there? Either way, love your channel, great stuff!!🤜🤛🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
I am disgusted. Because we left no. The life lost and that will be lost fixing the pull out will be measurable.Also, what was our plan there from leadership. Taking great men to a fight with no plan or measurable win is criminal.
@@JamesonsTravels I agree. We should have left. But left with dignity. Got our people out, then our equipment, then our troops. The fact that we left the Taliban with billions in military gear, weapons, vehicles, aircraft, etc. That is shameful, the ones who made the decision to pull out the way they did, need to be held accountable! That's what I think.
@@thodan467 From the intel I've gotten from friends that have served with the ANA. 90% aren't there for anything more than a payday. They couldn't even schedule operations at the end of the week. Because after they got paid they disappeared until they ran out of money. So I would have left them with some equipment to fight back. But nothing close to what was left behind. Everyone on the ground knew they weren't going to fight once the American military left.
That was hard for me to watch. Reminded me of when I tried out for the Naval Academy forty years ago. Eight years of prep: Academic course work, SAT scores, Congressional nomination, all wasted because I failed the physical aptitude test at the very end of the admissions process.
A lot of people hate officers that come out of the service academies, but like it or not, most of them are the cream of the crop and the best of the best. They absolutely deserve to be officers after graduating.
@@bluehotdog2610 Thanks for the consolation. I know that many people including their fellow officers dislike Academy grads, regarding them unfairly as pretentious snobs (aka ring knockers). I knew that as a kid but I wanted to go anyhow. I wanted to be a Navy officer and as far as I was concerned Annapolis was where professional officers were educated. I don't mean to disparage any non-Academy grads by saying that. It's just that the Naval Academy was my school of choice.
@@bluehotdog2610 . That is true for some . To turn back the time machine . While in Europe in the Boy scouts. Our scout master was a young 1stLt from west point. Inspired all of us. He sort of trained us while teaching us Scouting. It was a blast. They had a a Scouting Jamboree for all Army departments kids that were Scouts. We were 1st place e overall at the end of the end. He is probably the the reason I went to OCS. Instead of hanging out as an e5.lol.ittle did I realize at the the time his instructions and patience would help me make the cut at ft Benning lol. Thanks LT Rhodes where ever you are!! 11A 🇺🇸
@@dalestephan6777 Thank you for the encouragement. But honestly I don't think they would have me now. One has to be between the ages of 17 and 24 at the time of admission for one thing. I'm a bit outside that age bracket now ... I have kids that are outside that age bracket now. Plus the Naval Academy is an undergraduate institution. One thing I don't need is another degree, trust me on that. Things have worked out for me the way that they were supposed to work out. I have no regrets. But that doesn't mean that when I see guys getting rejected for the same reason I was rejected that it doesn't sting, if even just a little.
HRH Crown Prins Fredrik of Denmark has taken the full course and education to the Frogman corps some 25 years ago, his nickname I the corps was "Pingo", he was 1 of the 4 that made it all the way in 1995!
I really like the idea of letting civilians apply. I could see a lot of people who could be suited for elite forces, who have no interest in being grunts first.
They only invite civilians to apply because not enough soldiers do. The Danish military is made up of conscripts, some of whom decide to continue as professional soldiers. Although only around half of the boys get to serve, most of them volunteer (to have a greater chance of being posted according to their own wishes). This means that the Danish military has people from all possible backgrounds, even after they finish national service, because some who would have never considered becoming a soldier, find out that they actually like it ... and some who thought they were real life Rambos find out that they're not. Civilians who apply to Jaegerkorpset likely belong to the latter group.
@@KlipsenTube When Danish Special Forces Command was established it became clear, that the two units (Jaegerkorpset/Huntsmen and Froemandskorpset/Frogmen) had very different views on recruitment as the Jaegerkorps traditionally recruited among seasoned, accomplished soldiers while, on the other hand the navy unit Froemandskorps since it's inception had sought out applicants from all walks of life - soldiers and civilians alike. I'm convinced that the changed application criteria in Jaegerkorps is part of "streamlining" the recruitment processes.
It is the best and almost only way to find these people. It's not about worldview and what they bring to the table, I don't know why people say that. These are the ones that dig a 2 man hole to spend 5 days watching something. Not a lot of people would accept shitting, eating and sleeping 10 inches from another guy for that time. Taking that into account, the trust they talk about is not leaving out a wallet, but knowing that none would start an argument because he had to crawl through a tiny crawlspace in the dark that was also flooded. I mean we have already separated 99 % of all people now. You can teach an entire nation to be marksmen and get them into marathon shape - But what good is it, if they wont obey because of their fears for heights, darkness, drowning, torture etc. It is a thousand times more effective to find these few and teach them how to shoot and get in shape. Their iron will will do the rest.
As we see in the program, the guy with little/no military program(værnepligt) is also kicked out. All remaining has extensive military background, one even being a officer.
Really interesting point you made about telling your family you're going off to selection and returning on day 1. That's why no matter what I'm doing I keep it a secret till the end when I've finished.
With a population under 6 million, we have to have relatively specialised forces - we can't play the numbers game. Thankfully we've been allied to some of the more progressive forces in recent generations (NATO et al) and like the Swedes, adapted it to our particular situation/relative geography etc.. Always liked that they are open to the civilians - it gives a sense of transparency to the public and allows those who think it's easy to try and discover why we respect these forces. Close to a meritocracy and level playing field without favouritism.
Please do continue! As a Dane, it's interesting to see how especially Americans react to Danish military practices. Denmark is often seen as a nothing-country ("the Canada of Europe" as South Park called us) but the armed forces, especially the special forces, are absolutely top-tier
I agree with your comment about arriving at these courses unprepared. When I arrived at Naval AIrcrew Candidate School in 1984, I had just finished up 10 months of "haza grey and underway" (I was never PCSd to a ship. All TAD trips.). I was definitely NOT in shape. It was very, VERY painful but I gritted my teeth and bore down and made it through.
I wish they would do that here in the United States. There's a lot of us that would like to go back in. And there are older guys that are still capable that Can steal whip ass.
I think it would be awesome if we opened it up to civilians. If a guy can come from no military background and kick ass in BUDS, then this is the guy we want on our team! The different ages is a good idea also. All the different knowledge and skill sets is plus. If they can make it through training, does it matter if your 80?
Tessha, thanks for being a member I totally agree. Navy boot camp is not a building block for buds. Its basic training of 8 weeks. All i want is winning and the best person for the job. Don't care how or who just win! Some SF training does need building blocks, example MARSOC, Green Berets etc but Why not try the concept is my 2 cents.
I think it’s really good to allow people with no military background to apply, it adds something different to the group. But there is no doubt that the guys with a military background will be 2 steps ahead of you in the long run of the training.
about the instructors not yelling at the cadets, it's actually frowned upon in the Nordic militaries, (denmark, sweden and norway) instead when you screw up, they get in your face and insult your nose, pubes and upbringing in a very calm and collected manner and then makes you do 100 pushups. It is much scarier and respectful at the same time compared to some dude who's going red in the face because of needless shouting where you dont comprened half of what is being said.
This is quite a new program. Running in Denmark right now. The danish "Huntsmens corps" is like the american Army Rangers, Green berets and Delta force.
@@FJ24. .. Denmark dosen't have that many special forces. I don't think any country has as many special forces as the U.S. It might be so that, for example the huntsmen corps covers more special operations techniques, tactics, missions and so on than a single U.S. Special forces soldier does.
@@PpAirO5 i countries could they would have just as many SF and SOF units as the US has but that costs a lot of fucking money which they don’t have so that’s why they don’t
Hi buddy. Yes keep on responding to this series. i have meet several of those Huntsmen at exercises and deployments at my 12 years of prof. solder at the Danish Royal Army, and they are insane haha, but always have your back either if you see them or not :) know they have been training the US-Rangers on some skills, so they are skilled.
I think this is wonderful. Also since they allow people from all backgrounds apply. Cuz it brings in people from all walks of life which can bring diff life experiences to the team. Also I truly love that they have older men training them. Life experience goes along way. I would rather be trained by an old dog in a wheel chair that has been through many wars and who has knowledge etc... then some young dude in his 30s that can run a mile in 6min. I think this is awesome. To win a fight u need to be good and I want people defending my country who r competent and committed etc.. then some weenie who only got there cuz of diversity and has pink hair. I don't care what somebody looks like etc.. as long as they can do the job and loves their country they r fighting for etc.. then somebody who is there for the free hormone blockers and gets their fefes hurt when they don't get the bathroom they want or they have to wear pants and not a skirt etc... ya'll know what I am saying. So in conclusion, lol, this is a wonderful idea and I wish we had something like this. Also as we have all witnessed this past week, diversity hires do not get the job done and r dangerous and can and do get people killed. We need to rid our military(especially the high ups) of diversity hires and get back to what we(the USA military) do best, kicking ass and taking names.
Love the idea for all comers. Why not. Make it welcome aboard. Just want the best people of any background.Dont care what people do in the bed room, looks, sex etc. Just win baby.
2900 meters in twelve minutes is no joke, I recently been trying to make 2300 in the same time and I'm struggling with that. Being an SF operator (from any country) is pretty much the equivalent of being an weaponized elite athlete.
3000m on a Coopers is pretty average among "ordinary" professional combat soldiers in the Danish Army. And you would be arrogant to even think of becoming a member of Jægerkorpset if you can only manage to do the required 2900m.
@@rafaelalodio5116 . No worries mate. They actually set the bar "low" to see if the students have the mindset to show up well prepared - if they have the morale to train alone and think ahead and not start the course in overtraining. Arriving in absolute peak form and they will burn out within weeks. It's a marathon not a sprint.
@@bluehotdog2610 . No, 3000m is pretty average. A lot of US soldiers and Marines, tend to focus more on bulking up/upper strength. Not saying it's a bad thing, It's just a difference in culture.
My mind was blown when I found out they made this tv series. I was in this exact group at the pre course last year. Very strong and motivated guys, good to see some of them got through. I felt very lucky to get selected, as a second civilian, but I made my mind to leave already at pre course.

I think the Afghan war & crisis were both done on purpose. Our evil leaders maybe used this war to give China weapons through Afghan China border, for new world order war. Also, Biden gets to flood Afghans into USA. I also bet trillion$ were made from afghan opium to produce America's drug epidemic. - - Atheism let this happen & caused it to happen. Atheism brought communism and notseeism to this world. When Jesus talked about following him, he said you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free. Slavery ended in this once highly Christian nation whilst slavery still goes on in many black, Asian and Muslim nations. Our once highly Christian nation also spread freedom and success in this world. Atheism is ending it.
@@michaelperez5822 The old world billionaires are Luciferians, which means they have similar beliefs of the Taliban, such as ped-oh-feel-ya. They claim to be iews just like Obama, Hillary, & the Bush Warmongers claimed to be Christian. I think the Afghan war was mostly done just to gain access to opium that was used in prescription drugs, to cause the drug epidemic in America. Also weapons could easily have been sent to the China border for the likely future conflict with America.
You have to keep in mind we only have 5.8 million people in Denmark. You can also do this for other special positions. We actually have phone apps to prepare you for the entry physical tests. My girlfriend of many years tried out for a Merlin helicopter pilot position while she worked as a market research analyst, but very into crossfit. She passed the physical test, but not the decision making.
In a country like ours, here in Denmark, where we have a hundred and forty years of deep, deep anti-militarism built into our bones and culture, since the horrific defeat to Prussia in 1864, we have a tendency to look at anyone in a uniform with a sliiiiight amount of suspicion. But our special forces ... we're proud of those boys and with good reason. They're twenty percent harder than nails, and they do their jobs SO well, as someone once put it, that we never hear of it in the news. Which is a good thing, because that means they succeeded. Fun fact: when he was still a young man, our current king, Frederik X, was a VERY good soldier, who not only became a certified F-16 pilot, but who also joined the other branch of our special forces, the Frogmen Corps, and completed his training there. People thought he got special treatment, but that was COMPREHENSIVELY disavowed by the corps. He was actually tough enough to complete what is considered by some to be the hardest special forces efucation in NATO today. Not bad for a guy born with a golden spoon in his mouth.
I loved your previous videos about the danish frogmen and watched them back when you released them, but you sure are keeping us waiting for the next video here! How long are you holding us back!
As stated in the video (7:20), applications from civilians is a first time event. One of the points of friction between the two special forces (Huntsmen and Frogmen) when both came under the new Special Forces Command was the disparity of the recruiting proces. Huntsmen were traditionally selected from seasoned soldiers only, frogmen from all walks of life. Huntsmen now accept recruits just after boot-camp, so still a difference albeit a smaller one than in the past.
Some of those who gets accepted and finish their hunter corps training also go to the USA to complete Ranger School. They are tough as hell and not to be messed with, as bjarkedohn7367 mentioned
Sir! What a tease! :D I was suggested this vid. Instantly subbed. I normally don't watch commentaries but I really enjoyed your reflections and input. Watching your frogmen videos while I wait for the sequel.
Good video! A short comment in regards to the Huntsmen Corps. It's an entirely new thing they're trying out, by letting civilians apply. Up until now you've had to have a certain amount of experience + basic training of course.
When I was serving in the danish Army, we had a major military drill. One night we slept in an abandoned barn. Two soldiers stood guard up in the attic.

People who knew him closely, had stories about how much fun he was to be around.
I did not like him very much and those stories confused me a bit.
I later realized though, that every unpleasant encounter I had with him, was him trying to warn or protect me from immediate dangers, such as aircraft propellers mostly.
In Danish, Swedish and Norwegian culture shouting at someone is considered "rude" or a lack of control (unless in combat). It is a massive cultural difference. You can get things done by speaking and being clear.
It's different in speciel forces. They dont scream because you can leave at any time and you asked to be there, so if thats not enough to get you through the education they dont want you and they wont scream of you, because it gets easier to do something when someone scream GO, GO, GOOO
If you cant do it on your own, your out.
If you see Army Rangers they scream a lot. Green Beret and Delta Force, they dont at all.
I was i the danish Army for 11 years. Stopped in 2006 and then the sergent shouted because a lot of soldiers had to be there for 10 months and couldnt leave.
@Bessie Hillum i didnt use the C7. Actually dont know what it is 🙂🙂
The Army got a lot of new equipmemt after i stopped.
It's pretty good today.
The conscripts is to have Army knowledge in the broad public.
It's getting easier today. Its just 4 months and pretty laid back today. From these soldiers they then make the standing Army.
I think in general i most european armies there is not much shouting except when orders are being shouted out i found that in british army i fid if you really want it you will do it without being shouted at
Other people can learn with that.
That's true. Shouting too much is considered a sign of lacking maturity and control over the situation.
We have very little respect for yelly authorities.
I love how you focus on a diverse range of armed forces. Too many channels that focus purely on North America, whereas your channel gives us a glimpse into other armed forces we may otherwise never hear about.
fortunately, a viewer translated the program for english. the others i did i had to do jarhead translations but its fun to see how our friends do things as well.

@@JamesonsTravels So when is the next episode coming?
Yes please continue with Huntsmen Corps. You have not reached the best parts yet.
will do. i will cut the fluff next one. wanted to see the interest. thanks for the comment.
@@JamesonsTravels Danish forces largely served alongside US forces everywhere, i suppose the politics of that is debatable. But the actual soldiers are praised far and wide. In the case of the Jaeger and frogmen cores, theese are world class elite forces.
Sure you can argue SAS or rangers etc doing one or other thing better, but the overall esimate will be fully on par.
The real interesting part is the differences from Danish to other special forces.
No, and will be the Frogman Corps!

At my last job we lost one of our best electricians to the Huntsmen Corps, guy was a genius with regards to improvising solutions on the spot. He was a really creative type very skilled at R/D and Product development work, also the type you send out to restore or repair a 30 year old machine that was outfased from production and nobody remembered or recognised. Great guy, a real loss.
I love that you don't only focus on american armed forces, but that you actually have a general interest on the rest of the world and their structure of military and training methods. Regards from Aalborg Denmark. (Brithplace and location of the huntsmen)
thank you. we should as these are our brothers. we fight along side. the similarities of training is uncanny.
J.T. please do finish the Huntsman Corps. Otherwise jobs only half done. I found it very interesting and informative and of course being a Veteran myself I'm a any military junkie. I want to know about them all, especially lesser known ones like this. Thanks Marine.
I used to date a guy that tried out for Jægerkorpset. He told me something I will never forget, that what they value above all are team players. He said there were some extremely athletic men and big egos, but “It doesn’t matter if you’re goddamn Superman - if you can’t do TEAM WORK then you’re not part of the Team. Period.” I never really thought about that, but it makes perfect sense because they work in small teams. They have to be able to trust each other 100% of the time. Then I noticed it in the Navy Seals and their BUDS training, too. Those team exercises where everyone is pushed well over their limits, so they can determine who are fighting for the team and who are there to polish their ego.
Indeed.
"Vi bevæger os usete på ryggen af sammenholdet".
The Huntsman are the equivalent to the US Delta Force.
Infact in 78, two of our most prominent Huntsman was invited to complete the Ranger course, of which they placed 1st and 3rd.
^ True story
Desværre ikke :) Jæger Korpset har en hel anden missions beskrivelse end US Army Rangers. Ja de deltar i øvelser or kurser fra andre enheder men det er mere en overføring af færdigheder, men ikke for samme missioner. Translation: Sorry no :) The Jaeger Corps has a completely different mission profile from the US army rangers. Yes they do join in other courses and do well, however, that is for transfer of skillsets but not to have the same mission profiles
The danes were among the first to train with Delta besides brits and germans.

@@silasglam2452 I think it depends on a number of factors: Did you quit yourself or get or thrown off the course and why?. This class has repeaters, for instance.
As someone who has been through all this training, for anyone wanting to join up, make sure you have both upper and lower body development to a high level, engage in rope climbing, swimming, running, pushups, pullups--do it for six months before you enter the military.
Yes, please continue with this group. Looks very interesting. I like that they allow civilians to join---there are some amazing folks who sound like they have a lot to offer their mission that may not be in their service. Love they use trainers that are older. So much knowledge getting used instead of discarded. Very cool of them.
Thanks for your crystal clear comments. You are right on brother...
An old coworker once told me (in regard to the British military) something to the effect of:
If you go into basic training expect to be shouted at but helped up when you fall on your face.
If you go into elite training (RMC/Paras) you're expected to pick yourself up while being screamed at when you fall flat on your face.
If you go through UKSF Selection, expect no one to offer a single word of encouragement or to scream orders at you, expect to fall flat on your face at every turn without a single word from anyone because you're there to prove you don't need someone to tell you to get back up.
Please continue. Interesting to see your perspective. I’m from Denmark and have worked with the Frogmen Corps, so it is pretty interesting to hear your thoughts

To reinforce your comment of ''why would you go this, unprepared thinking you can do more'' I experienced this during SAS selection. I was in the Army reserve for 6 years prior and spent 2 years training for selection, all while with shin splints I was ready for it, and dreamed about it since I was a child.. All my training and practice marches were very successful, the time came and I burnt so much nervous energy at the pre-selection that I just didn't have it during the actual selection. I didn't make it that far out of the 10 day selection and was very ashamed.
Some prepare for it but when the day comes its a different story. It wasn't meant to be for me and it is my biggest failure in life but the training for it was well worth the journey. I was invited back to try again but I got into boxing instead as my knees were getting too damaged.
Taking first steps to go into Armed Forces Reserves, and staying past recruit training put you above hundreds thousands of others who just could not be bothered to volunteer.
The guys in 21, and 23 would still admire you for serving.
You tried, and did your best, and are still willing to defend your Country.
My father was with the hunstmen for about 20 years, so great to see your take on them. Hope you do more
Yes for more huntsmen! Love your videos 👍
Hey JT, YES I would love it if you had more episodes of this. That's the kind of guys that you want. Totally self motivated. Out there proving himself every day, to the rest of the guys. I love it!
you have something called "patruljekursus" or "patrol course" before even attending so-called "bud/s". it consists of field training, combat action and a minor taste of the armed forces daily life. if you pass that, then you walk on to the "bud/s" and do what you see here and so on
“Buds” is a navy thing… not army. People can also go to “patruljekursus” without even going/considering applying for the huntsmencorps.

My dad was a Huntsman back during the cold war, he can't tell me a whole lot about what he did during active service, but he did tell me about some of his drills, sneaking up into the enemys HQ's and observing and gathering info for several days, before simply sneaking out again without ever being spotted.
I've developed this instinct to randomly check his channel, only to find a video that was just uploaded.

Thanks for stopping in. Notifications kinda work anyway. I don't get them for my own channels. Go figure.
Yes please continue you know what you are talking about....and we in Denmark are fan of your analysis,,, I did service in a panzered infantery Company and were hunting these boys around - man they kept us awake for a whole week.... at last they turned the scenarie and took us out platoon after platoon and group after group...... later at evaluation they showed out to be only 6-10 guys - pretty amazing
Sometimes, people without any military background bring a different viewpoint. Combat skills can be taught fairly quickly, but a different viewpoint can't be taught.
I love the idea. why not, the US is trying all sorts of 'interesting' methods recently. this could actually work.
@@JamesonsTravels We had a few guys at San Diego who showed up out of shape and it dragged the rest of the platoon down. They couldn't hike or run or do pull-ups. They should have been sent home right after failing the IST. I also think that the IST should be moved to day one of receiving week. There's no reason to waste money giving recruits dental exams, medical exams and a whole bunch of shots if they're just going to fail the IST. But hey, I don't make the rules, yet.
I think it's very interesting to have Special Ops who are also an engineer, electrician, nurse, IT-specialist, organiser and who knows what. You might discover skillsets or combinations of skillsets that are advantageous that you might not have considered otherwise. Same with viewpoints or mentalities. Cooks could be particularly good at handling stress in a team setting etc.

Cheers mate.
If the instructors drop you from the program, you get two options: One, they invite you to try again next year. Two, they just tell you you're not Huntsman material.
It's not up for debate. And getting invited back means they like what you brought to the table, but you need a little more.
It's hard for a lot to be told they didn't make the cut or got dropped during the trials.
As a Dane, I have always admired The Huntsman & The Frogman Special Cores for their military professionalism and “secretive” importance in (presumably numerous) missions internationally and domestically. I find great joy in having a allied professional reviewing and debating these cores training and selection - so please continue! 👍
Worked with the Jaeger corps back in 96 in Aalborg Denmark. Great experience!

That was hard for me to watch. Reminded me of when I tried out for the Naval Academy forty years ago. Eight years of prep: Academic course work, SAT scores, Congressional nomination, all wasted because I failed the physical aptitude test at the very end of the admissions process.
A lot of people hate officers that come out of the service academies, but like it or not, most of them are the cream of the crop and the best of the best. They absolutely deserve to be officers after graduating.
@@bluehotdog2610 Thanks for the consolation. I know that many people including their fellow officers dislike Academy grads, regarding them unfairly as pretentious snobs (aka ring knockers). I knew that as a kid but I wanted to go anyhow. I wanted to be a Navy officer and as far as I was concerned Annapolis was where professional officers were educated.

One thing I don't need is another degree, trust me on that. Things have worked out for me the way that they were supposed to work out. I have no regrets. But that doesn't mean that when I see guys getting rejected for the same reason I was rejected that it doesn't sting, if even just a little.
HRH Crown Prins Fredrik of Denmark has taken the full course and education to the Frogman corps some 25 years ago, his nickname I the corps was "Pingo", he was 1 of the 4 that made it all the way in 1995!
I really like the idea of letting civilians apply. I could see a lot of people who could be suited for elite forces, who have no interest in being grunts first.
great idea. why not, right. if they make it and bring unique stuff to the table. good or better yet common sense idea.
They only invite civilians to apply because not enough soldiers do.
The Danish military is made up of conscripts, some of whom decide to continue as professional soldiers. Although only around half of the boys get to serve, most of them volunteer (to have a greater chance of being posted according to their own wishes). This means that the Danish military has people from all possible backgrounds, even after they finish national service, because some who would have never considered becoming a soldier, find out that they actually like it ... and some who thought they were real life Rambos find out that they're not. Civilians who apply to Jaegerkorpset likely belong to the latter group.
@@KlipsenTube yeah, a lot of them propably do, but they should be pretty easy to weed out.
@@KlipsenTube When Danish Special Forces Command was established it became clear, that the two units (Jaegerkorpset/Huntsmen and Froemandskorpset/Frogmen) had very different views on recruitment as the Jaegerkorps traditionally recruited among seasoned, accomplished soldiers while, on the other hand the navy unit Froemandskorps since it's inception had sought out applicants from all walks of life - soldiers and civilians alike. I'm convinced that the changed application criteria in Jaegerkorps is part of "streamlining" the recruitment processes.
It is the best and almost only way to find these people. It's not about worldview and what they bring to the table, I don't know why people say that.
These are the ones that dig a 2 man hole to spend 5 days watching something. Not a lot of people would accept shitting, eating and sleeping 10 inches from another guy for that time.
Taking that into account, the trust they talk about is not leaving out a wallet, but knowing that none would start an argument because he had to crawl through a tiny crawlspace in the dark that was also flooded. I mean we have already separated 99 % of all people now.
You can teach an entire nation to be marksmen and get them into marathon shape - But what good is it, if they wont obey because of their fears for heights, darkness, drowning, torture etc.
It is a thousand times more effective to find these few and teach them how to shoot and get in shape. Their iron will will do the rest.
I'd LOVE if you continued this!
My general impression of Jegerkorpset is that it consists of friendly, calm and competent people.. that sure knows how to drink
As we see in the program, the guy with little/no military program(værnepligt) is also kicked out. All remaining has extensive military background, one even being a officer.
Really interesting point you made about telling your family you're going off to selection and returning on day 1. That's why no matter what I'm doing I keep it a secret till the end when I've finished.
Looks really tough, but at least these guys can really be called an elite. I wouldn't expect less from vikings anyway.
omg I'm so sad this ended XD MORE! Danish guy here, huge fan and supporter of our special forces.
Just a reminder that frogmen has had civilian recruits with "success" for years which led to the move for hunstmen aswell
I really want you to continue this series.
With a population under 6 million, we have to have relatively specialised forces - we can't play the numbers game. Thankfully we've been allied to some of the more progressive forces in recent generations (NATO et al) and like the Swedes, adapted it to our particular situation/relative geography etc.. Always liked that they are open to the civilians - it gives a sense of transparency to the public and allows those who think it's easy to try and discover why we respect these forces. Close to a meritocracy and level playing field without favouritism.
Please do continue. Love the cool attitude and no frills. Refreshing.

I wish they would do that here in the United States. There's a lot of us that would like to go back in. And there are older guys that are still capable that Can steal whip ass.
Gotta say this is one of my guilty pleasures to watch. I appreciate your video on the Huntsmen.
I think it would be awesome if we opened it up to civilians. If a guy can come from no military background and kick ass in BUDS, then this is the guy we want on our team! The different ages is a good idea also. All the different knowledge and skill sets is plus. If they can make it through training, does it matter if your 80?

I think it’s really good to allow people with no military background to apply, it adds something different to the group. But there is no doubt that the guys with a military background will be 2 steps ahead of you in the long run of the training.
about the instructors not yelling at the cadets, it's actually frowned upon in the Nordic militaries, (denmark, sweden and norway) instead when you screw up, they get in your face and insult your nose, pubes and upbringing in a very calm and collected manner and then makes you do 100 pushups.
It is much scarier and respectful at the same time compared to some dude who's going red in the face because of needless shouting where you dont comprened half of what is being said.

Hi buddy. Yes keep on responding to this series.
i have meet several of those Huntsmen at exercises and deployments at my 12 years of prof. solder at the Danish Royal Army, and they are insane haha, but always have your back either if you see them or not :)
know they have been training the US-Rangers on some skills, so they are skilled.
I think this is wonderful. Also since they allow people from all backgrounds apply. Cuz it brings in people from all walks of life which can bring diff life experiences to the team. Also I truly love that they have older men training them. Life experience goes along way. I would rather be trained by an old dog in a wheel chair that has been through many wars and who has knowledge etc... then some young dude in his 30s that can run a mile in 6min. I think this is awesome. To win a fight u need to be good and I want people defending my country who r competent and committed etc.. then some weenie who only got there cuz of diversity and has pink hair. I don't care what somebody looks like etc.. as long as they can do the job and loves their country they r fighting for etc.. then somebody who is there for the free hormone blockers and gets their fefes hurt when they don't get the bathroom they want or they have to wear pants and not a skirt etc... ya'll know what I am saying. So in conclusion, lol, this is a wonderful idea and I wish we had something like this. Also as we have all witnessed this past week, diversity hires do not get the job done and r dangerous and can and do get people killed. We need to rid our military(especially the high ups) of diversity hires and get back to what we(the USA military) do best, kicking ass and taking names.

Actually a norwegian youtuber did try out with the norwegian armed forces... not our jægers tough but some are pretty bad ass and enlisted.
You should definitely continue! Remember, this is only the key to the real "Jærgerkorps" training.
2900 meters in twelve minutes is no joke, I recently been trying to make 2300 in the same time and I'm struggling with that. Being an SF operator (from any country) is pretty much the equivalent of being an weaponized elite athlete.
3000m on a Coopers is pretty average among "ordinary" professional combat soldiers in the Danish Army. And you would be arrogant to even think of becoming a member of Jægerkorpset if you can only manage to do the required 2900m.
Memovox I know right, I am just an average dude, my point is that for those SF guys the minimum requirement is the outstanding for most people.
@@rafaelalodio5116 . No worries mate. They actually set the bar "low" to see if the students have the mindset to show up well prepared - if they have the morale to train alone and think ahead and not start the course in overtraining.

It is fast. That is faster than many US Marines.
@@bluehotdog2610 . No, 3000m is pretty average. A lot of US soldiers and Marines, tend to focus more on bulking up/upper strength. Not saying it's a bad thing, It's just a difference in culture.
My mind was blown when I found out they made this tv series. I was in this exact group at the pre course last year. Very strong and motivated guys, good to see some of them got through. I felt very lucky to get selected, as a second civilian, but I made my mind to leave already at pre course.
Why did Guld and Bæst end up cheating? That moment was so confusing to me. Like why did they do it?
I wonder if they use Lego as anti personnel weapons? It would be very effective against foes wearing sandals
Yes pls continue this series. I'm a sucker for all your vids about the danish army

I think the Afghan war & crisis were both done on purpose. Our evil leaders maybe used this war to give China weapons through Afghan China border, for new world order war. Also, Biden gets to flood Afghans into USA. I also bet trillion$ were made from afghan opium to produce America's drug epidemic. - - Atheism let this happen & caused it to happen. Atheism brought communism and notseeism to this world.
When Jesus talked about following him, he said you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free. Slavery ended in this once highly Christian nation whilst slavery still goes on in many black, Asian and Muslim nations. Our once highly Christian nation also spread freedom and success in this world. Atheism is ending it.

@@michaelperez5822 The old world billionaires are Luciferians, which means they have similar beliefs of the Taliban, such as ped-oh-feel-ya. They claim to be iews just like Obama, Hillary, & the Bush Warmongers claimed to be Christian. I think the Afghan war was mostly done just to gain access to opium that was used in prescription drugs, to cause the drug epidemic in America. Also weapons could easily have been sent to the China border for the likely future conflict with America.
You have to keep in mind we only have 5.8 million people in Denmark. You can also do this for other special positions. We actually have phone apps to prepare you for the entry physical tests. My girlfriend of many years tried out for a Merlin helicopter pilot position while she worked as a market research analyst, but very into crossfit. She passed the physical test, but not the decision making.
Some feedback..Your channel is great, you're doing a great job and nice to hear your take on subjects like this.
Keep it up!
In a country like ours, here in Denmark, where we have a hundred and forty years of deep, deep anti-militarism built into our bones and culture, since the horrific defeat to Prussia in 1864, we have a tendency to look at anyone in a uniform with a sliiiiight amount of suspicion. But our special forces ... we're proud of those boys and with good reason. They're twenty percent harder than nails, and they do their jobs SO well, as someone once put it, that we never hear of it in the news. Which is a good thing, because that means they succeeded.
Fun fact: when he was still a young man, our current king, Frederik X, was a VERY good soldier, who not only became a certified F-16 pilot, but who also joined the other branch of our special forces, the Frogmen Corps, and completed his training there. People thought he got special treatment, but that was COMPREHENSIVELY disavowed by the corps. He was actually tough enough to complete what is considered by some to be the hardest special forces efucation in NATO today.
Not bad for a guy born with a golden spoon in his mouth.
I loved your previous videos about the danish frogmen and watched them back when you released them, but you sure are keeping us waiting for the next video here! How long are you holding us back!
As stated in the video (7:20), applications from civilians is a first time event. One of the points of friction between the two special forces (Huntsmen and Frogmen) when both came under the new Special Forces Command was the disparity of the recruiting proces. Huntsmen were traditionally selected from seasoned soldiers only, frogmen from all walks of life. Huntsmen now accept recruits just after boot-camp, so still a difference albeit a smaller one than in the past.
Some of those who gets accepted and finish their hunter corps training also go to the USA to complete Ranger School. They are tough as hell and not to be messed with, as bjarkedohn7367 mentioned
Oh please do continue! I'm already watching it, but would love to hear other perspectives on it as well
Just keep going. Nice channel you are having here.
Greetings from DK 👌
Please continue these series
Sir! What a tease! :D I was suggested this vid. Instantly subbed. I normally don't watch commentaries but I really enjoyed your reflections and input. Watching your frogmen videos while I wait for the sequel.
Nice to see my fellow countrymen on your show!! :)
Good video! A short comment in regards to the Huntsmen Corps. It's an entirely new thing they're trying out, by letting civilians apply. Up until now you've had to have a certain amount of experience + basic training of course.
I hope you do more about the huntsman corps. Love the perspective of an american reacting to my country's badasses
Check out the Sirius patrol. Pretty bad ass guys there.
In Denmark, sunny weather is good weather, no matter the temp.
