Dang, flashbacks of being on a Armor BN staff in W. Germany in the 80's. Outside of the changes in uniforms and equipment, pretty close to how we did it back then. We still had the maps covered with acetate, but we used alcohol markers instead of grease pens. Good demonstration on what the BN commander should be doing after he gets the operations order, (OPORD) from the Brigade commander (The film still used the WW II era Armored Division organized into two Combat Commands, A and B, commanded by a Brigadier General). The key thing is to not to waste any time, The scene of the CRD trying to eat and work on his OPORD is pretty realistic. However we would normally bring the S2 (Intelligence) and the S3 (Operations) officers to the BDE OPORD briefing. That way the S2 and S3 shop could start analyzing the mission and situation, come up with some options and ideas for the concept of the operation, and start fleshing out the OPORD while the Commanders are on their recon. With a commander who trusted his staff and a staff that understood how the commander thought, the OPORD could be quickly finalized upon the CDRs return from the recon. Something that wasn't brought out very well was issuing Warning Orders (WARORD) as quickly as possible to subordinate units, to allow them as much time as possiable for planning, logistics and movement. In this example, a commander and staff would at least issue a WARNORD soon after the commander was notified of the Combat Commander's briefing, on his return from the meeting and after his return from the recon. If you have never been on a army field staff, this is a good film to watch to see how a real commander and staff plans a attack. I do have to say though, the officers in this film are sure not as stressed and much better rested than any staff I had ever been on, even in the peacetime army. By Day 3 of a NTC, JRTC or Hoenfeld's rotation there would be some serious ass chewing going on or maybe a fist fight between a company commander and the BN motor officer or S4. Good times.
Right, you got the order of movement, Smitty? You just yell, Colonel, we'll put plenty of smoke and HE on the target. Yeah, see, we'll hit 'em really hard, see, then breakout, see.
I've never seen an officer of such high rank talk so softly. he was dang near whispering. How are his men supposed to hear the vital info this film places so high of importance on?
G2 has reported serious enemy armor flanking the dog shit out of us here, to the northwest, and even though there's a picture about to fall off the wall next to my head, I'll keep on talking like I'm on a morphine and valium IV. You boys just carry the ball and I shouldn't have anything to worry about. 😄
its just an M1 with a french-like fin or ridge used by OPFOR for training, you can have one simply by buying a surplus M1 and then cutting a piece of metal or wood in the shape any particular fin or ridge you prefer and simply nailing, bolting, or gluing it onto the M1, then apply paint! ^.^
The enemy is somewhere around here, to our northwest, butyou'll just continue onto the objective and hope they don't push our HQ. If they do, I'll be up in my plane anyway, see, and I'll be just fine, see.
Back in those days the danger of tobacco was either ignored or downplayed to the point where you can actually see advertisements for "Pharmacist recommended" cigarettes from the 40s and 50s. It wasn't really until decades later that we really accepted the reality of smoking tobacco.

Tell me another story, please!
@@murkypuddle33- no, why don't you tell us one of yours. Oh - you don't have any? Roger.
@@wes11bravo now i'm imagining a grandpa badgering his 6 year old grandson for *his* war stories.
As an artillery man I like the smoke and HE fire mission
This certainly wasn’t made for the folks at home… lots of technical terms. Interesting stuff!
Having Pershing's instead of Sherman's is a big help.

Brotha that's the word!

To be fair that's a great mix especially IV
WTF at 2:36 that's actor James Gregory...Inspector Frank Luger from Barney Miller, he was also in a ton of movies.
One guy in there looks like Richard Jaeckle.
18 minutes to go. The tank commander is tense with responsibility.
*smoking intensifies*
"You can smoke if you like"...………making the world safe for Lucky Strike!
One question sir. What's a battle?
To bad life isn't like that . We all jump in jeeps drive to objective looking all around . No bad guys anywhere should have left that day
the enemy helmets are awesome

Quite a good film spoiled by having the enemy dressed as circus clowns.
12:53 what's the science guy doing in a war zone??
I didn't know that they were using the Pershing in Italy with American styling houses with the enemy using funny helmets 😅😂
Make do with whatcha got...
Never understood why the Us thought it was a good idea to paint rank shaped targets on the front of their helmets!
It was a practice we largely dropped in practice, or made them smaller and quickly faded them with mud.

Everybody smokes. I wonder how many got cancer many years later.
They didnt care about cancer i think..

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
This film is a promotion for cigarettes?
Most 40s and 50s films were.
