As a former Infantry soldier I have to question what appears to be horrific tactics. We always trained that when you are in vehicles and are caught in a ambush, if a vehicle is disabled in the attack the vehicle behind it immediately pushes the disabled vehicle through the kill zone. The ONE THING you do not want to happen is to come to a dead stop in a prepared ambush kill zone.
I'm going to guess that for the sake of not risking damaging a training vehicle, pushing was discouraged. Real world would be different. 68w here going to NTC this summer. Thanks for your service blue.
Negative, Train how you fight. What's the point of training if your just going to change everything when you get down range? When you going? I head out for another NTC rotation next month.
As a current Artilleryman (M777A2), I know the difference between the experiences at NTC, but seeing some of these places that I recognize just in the video alone put a smile on my face, remembering the suck that we went through to support our Infantry and Cav brothers & sisters down range for counter battery and support seems to bring back good memories of the testing bad times. Hearts out to everyone else who endured the 112+ degree suck
The worst month was August, the hottest I’ve experienced was 127 degrees and not a cloud in the sky , my track over heated around 1100 and didn’t get moving till about 1900, hottest day of my life. I was stationed there for 3 years, good unit but the place sucked.
@@Fit_soldier it’s tough bro!! It’s going to be super hot & make sure you get everything you need from the px/Aruba before y’all leave for the box. I think the box is 18 days
it is a great thing to see NTC's transformation. my orders when I joined active Army as a tanker to 1/63 Armor said camp Irwin and base command was under Col. RIP Roper. I have received multiple Hanby's and have pictures where we transitioned that chunk of desert to FT. Irwin and spent 4 years handing it blue force. painted rock had a couple units on it when I arrived and when I left was so much larger we built the first mock air field and had great night battles in the washboard, black basalt, yellow brick road, kasarine and around TV hill. my wife worked for SAIC who put all the cameras and monitoring equipment in place for battles. it is so cool to think back to those days it was hot, dirty and long long days and nights but a blast trainging blue force. I was in the first opfor academy's classes. would love to come back and visit and share my long knowledge of NTC. Ssg Retired Husselman
We were also at Fort Irwin all those years ago husband also a tanker. We both miss our time there.. Our life together started there and we have now been married 20 years.
@@siy1580 short answer: Awful bro. It was a really great experience nonetheless but that environment is not built for our comfort. Sandstorms, dusters, snakes, scorpions, beetles, Coyotes, the freaking SUN was so hot and we had very little shade. Having to wear full battle rattle all day on top of no showers. I've never been in this type of environment before as I am from North Carolina so everything was definitely a shock for me but I did manage to acclimate after a couple weeks. I hate that I am going back but at least I will be more prepared.
So they’ve abandoned mass unit training movements and battles. I was a scout there from 94-97. We literally covered the entire training area. From the North Wall to Tiefort Mountain. Is this what they’re doing now? 😮
I served 4 yrs 9-94 the video on urban training, is a joke.. attack! why stop in a open road, no cover, man gets out of vehicle, hesitation kills. piss pore. joke!

That's why they train. To learn these things to the point where they become automatic responses.

You are correct why aren't they training how you fight, easy enough to put bumper pads on a hummer

This was a nice and quiet exercise.. many years ago I was stationed at Irwin, explosions were so stong the entire bldg and windows shook..
They left out the coyotes, Jurassic snakes and lizards, ohhh and the huge mountain lions. No joke 135 in the shade, but loved every moment
No effn toilets!! That place 😢😢😢

I was in 177th FSB 90-92 sure looks like a lot has changed over the years.
We were also at Fort Irwin all those years ago husband also a tanker. We both miss our time there.. Our life together started there and we have now been married 20 years.
I'll be going here with another company in a couple months. I'm terrified but mostly excited for the experience.
How was it?

Thanks for subscribing and thanks for letting me know. 👍
Loved that place!

I can tell I’m gonna hate it I’m going in 5 days
What’s your MOS and how was it?
My family got stationed there when my dad was in the military
and I was born there.
This is my first duty station ever. I will be there next month 👏🏼
@@Jempath have fun
@@joshuadell3279 thanks a lot, can’t wait 👏🏼
So was my daughter... she can't accept being born in a hospital named "Weed"
Hooah!
God bless our troops!

i dont advocate, myself , id rather be a medical person in the army
i think the platoons should do internal AAR's not from the OC's
Stop In an intersection great idea
129 Chesley Valley
Hey did you guys have service out there in the box areas...and if so what carrier?
Jeremy B no phones in the box
Verizon
At&t has the best coverage out there
Way different from when I was OPFOR. We did full scale battles with entire Troops. I’m sure the Urban Scenario sucks just as much.
I was there 86 to 89 the battles were everywhere.. pioneer satellite dish station.. too teford mountain...
man im going here at the end of next month fuck bro😒
shoot what you can!!!!

Music is so embarrassing. Jesus christ.
No kidding, back in my day 90-92 we dressed in OD green and black beret opfor playing Russians now it's hodgi's lol
I don't think they could play the actual hymns of the Middle East there, especially on YT. After all, it's the PC capital of the US.
