I am super proud to announce the release of an eBook project I have been working on over the past few months! This book is part one of a series that will cover the histories of every Division that was active in the British Army from September 1939 - January 1947. Part one covers the Armoured & Cavalry Divisions. The histories in the book cover a Divisions full story, from its formation to disbandment, and everything in between, including movements, actions, planned moves, key dates, commanders etc. Also included is a full outline of a Divisions movement in the U.K. and in the post-war period, two topics that are often overlooked in the historiography of the British Army. For some of the Divisions, such as the 9th Armoured, 10th Armoured and the 1st Cavalry, this is the first time in over 80 years that their war chronicle is told in full.

Fast. Clean. Beautiful. My former battalion commander was a 3/75 Rangers vet. Had two mustard stains on his JM wings. Later found out he earned them at Obj Rhino and another classified jump.
speaking 'of leading the way, your BC. rgr. that after the military, in 2006, i served in RC-north-mazar sheriff for years and then kabul. this is great from a historical perspective of october 2001. not of these mens' doing; look at the waste for the nest 2 decades. 2,476 US personnel (civilian/military) killed. we drop the 20yrs of doctrine, policy, run away with our tail between our legs and "surrender". it was a policy/doctrine surrender not "a" bs: withdraw. after two unconditional surrenders in europe and asia in late-1945, then most of the military personnel "withdrew" back to the U.S. "that" was a withdrawal.
@@wagahagwa6978 I’m less concerned about backwards sheep herders having that firepower (because it’s already being wrecked by the elements and poor maintenance) and more about us wasting all that money
Thank you for the video. My grandpa was a Ranger during the Vietnam war era so, the Rangers will always hold a special place in my heart because of him. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the information contained in this video. I was part of the Marine contingent at FOB Rhino, and never knew the details of the operation beforehand.
@@grimreaper3844 you’re so jealous. You’re likely just a park Ranger and envious of the tab and scroll that your tiny heart syndrome will never allow you to be something greater. Just remember, I don’t like onions on my burger lil boi.
Ranger regiment has changed a LOT over the last twenty years, late war Rangers were more akin to our Tier one counterparts over at the unit in terms of mission sets, we did unilateral raids with much MUCH smaller number than what we were doing early GWOT. As well as Recon missions and lots of other stuff people have no clue about
I'm not TH-cam, but if you haven't found him already I recommend: *The Operations Room* just hurry up though. :) (as a creator he is getting incredibly frustrated with the insane bureaucracy of TH-cam)
Never heard of this opening op, or that two Rangers died. The conventional story has always been that Rangers dropping onto Bagram was the first action, and that CIA Officer Johnny Michael Spann was the first casualty. I'm impressed with your info.
Span would still be considered the first casualty, in terms of hostile fire or enemy action being what put him out; the five Rangers were wounded (two mortally), but not from hostile action. Granted, further info could be declassified in future, but as of right now Span is officially the first KIA, while the two Rangers were wounded during the course of an operation, not from hostile action.
Bruh, I actually always love your content. You are very informative, and feature things about Special Forces. Sonething that I love. Keep up the good work.
Always a pleasure to watch!! Love how you also cover stories from militaries around the 🌎! Awesome to see your channel keeping growing Keep sending it liveth
A very well presented and inspiring insight into the bravest of the brave doing what these awesome soldiers do best From one British infantry veteran all I can say is God bless the fallen two my they rest in peace and God bless the Rangers a truly outstanding force.
The "we did it because we could" method of operation lol I love it. Sometimes you don't have to directly engage an enemy to show them they're outmatched. In Iraq we carried out patrols at night because the enemy couldn't see us, but we could see everything. The Iraqi insurgents were a fearless bunch, but they did not fuck with us when the sun went down, and when we would move on them, it put the fear of God into them. Time and time again, I'd watch our 11B's kick in doors while I sat buttoned up in an Abrams tank chainsmoking Newports waiting for the word to swing the turret on anything they thought was sketchy. What a time that was.
🇺🇸I wanna be an airborne Ranger. I wanna lead the life of danger. Condolences to the families, friends, and brothers in arms of the fallen. Love, respect, and appreciation for all that served for our great nation. 🇺🇸
Great video and memory of the initial follow on mission into the heart of the Taliban's backyard. Omar's compound was a place I spend many months. Lest we Forget the fallen from the 20 year campaign. Cheers

With the research you do and the interesting videos you make, it would be great for the history Channel to give you a series. Shame they're just interested in Aliens now!!
I read a very good book called "Jawbreaker" by Gary Berntsen. It told the story of some of the first CIA & SOF boots on the ground right after 9/11. FLY NAVY!!!
Still waiting for an Italian SOF video...the Hesko International hostage rescue, the general Diaz hostage rescue, the joint raid with SBS to free two italian intelligence operatives in Afghanistan (you deleted that video) are just few examples
We should have fought the entire war this way. Kept Big Army and Big Air Force the hell out of theater. Just raid after raid after raid until we killed Omar, Haqqani and OBL. The day we started occupying the cities and interfacing with the new Afghan "government", it was over. By the time I arrived in theater in 2007, the momentum was gone. It was just chaos. A shame, really. I'm glad we got OBL, but I think we could have done this whole theater of war very differently and achieved the same results.
So, SOCOM's first major raid into Afghanistan was conceptually very much like Desert One? Was this meant as a big 'F U' to their detractors? A way of saying: 'See!? We can make this stuff work!' Whatever it was, it was bloody impressive.
More that Desert One was a blueprint for further operations that just needed more training and honing capabilities. Desert One led to airfield seizure being a standard mission for the Ranger Bns and also the creation of TF160, which would later become the 160th SOAR.
RLTW! Same night 2 Army Special Forces teams went into north Afghanistan. ODA 595 into the Hindu Kush foothills to fight with Abdul Rashid Dostum and ODA 555 to fight along side Fahim Khan. Big night for USSOF.
To all warriors and casualties of all wars, rest in peace. To all those living, let’s work together to stop future wars. Our children are too precious for this bullshit. I thank you service personnel for your work and sacrifice but hope for a day you aren’t needed. Until then, thank you.

Op Rhino was televised as the first combat action into Afghanistan. The fact that it was a FARP for a raid in Khandahar is news to me though.

damn that list of aircraft in the beginning was wicked, never knew that. thanks for another amazing video
Another great bit of military content LFE👍
I love the way Livith tells the story.
RIP to the two rangers, rangers lead the way!
great video and a great tribute. Don't forget to honor the 1-160th SOAR out of FT Campbell, that was their blackhawk that went down.
Send in the Rangers. Rangers leads the way. RIP to fallen warriors of our armed forces.

Are there any informations about the pathfinders going in first available?
Probably by the Rangers' own organic recon element, RRC.
Very interesting to learn about - thank you for the informative video, as always.

He mentioned pathfinders, would this be RRC?
Rangers Lead the Way! Sua Sponte my brothers
Hey man can u do the tongo tongo ambush
Yes, that's what I'm talking about
So good people went in Afghanistan to help during the crise and help for the reconstruction
I can't wait for the videos like this about the war in Ukraine.
Do you watch Warthog Defense?
The 75 Ranger Regiment is a feeder system for Delta force , so you know those men are squared away . Hooah
Can we get a video on the Benghazi attack?
Still waiting for an Italian SOF video...the Hesko International hostage rescue, the general Diaz hostage rescue, the joint raid with SBS to free two italian intelligence operatives in Afghanistan (you deleted that video) are just few examples
I just want a game with this type of music, briefing and serious mission attitude. Maybe a new ghost recon or rainbow six Vegas.
Im literally dropping a RASP packet to go to selection I wanna be a part of this so bad in the future
Started with 160 and ended with 36. As long as you meet the standard and never ever quit.

Great video! Unfortunately, the USA had the watches but the Taliban had the time.
Those "enemy vehicles" were women and children with some male civilians. The fire was called off after a short time but there were casualties
