    Generally, we're trained to shoot, only when we've identified where the enemy is...
    Failure to hold fire before enemy is identified, results in civilians getting hit unintentionally...
    In addition, if you don't know where the enemy is, you're just wasting ammo, and you only carry so much...

    • @jibb1451
      @jibb1451 4 ปีที่แล้ว +130

      And you might have an advantage if the enemy can't hear where you are until you are in a decent position. Shooting at nothing will let the enemy know to some extent where you are before you engage them, as well as potentially what sort of weaponry and man power you have. A small group of terrorists fighting a small detachment of soldiers may stay and fight if they have good positioning and a drop, however if they start hearing more heavy firepower around them, they might bug out. Sure the threat may disappear, but instead of neutralizing the threat, those terrorists live to fight another day instead of being taken out if they held their position unknowing that they were out numbered and out gunned by one or two other military detachments and troops were able to properly flank them unnoticed.

      Jibb Mcdonaland generally if you’re taking fire the enemy already knows where you are. Currently in the GWOT if you’re returning fire 3 things have happened, 1) you’ve taken fire, 2) ID’d hostiles 3) got the greenlight to make someone a widow

      And 90% of the time you’ll get into a firefight now a days is because you’re returning fire. Very rare for us to open up first, in a lot of provinces in afghanistan civilians and farmers walk around with AK’s so just because they’re armed that doesn’t mean they’re hostile. One of the few battles that would be an exception would be fallujah and even then they still had to be careful because not all of the civies left the city before the fighting began

    Rulers of engagement may dictate firing only at active valid targets in order to limit civilian casualties. Also if you are on a long patrol firing blind expends ammo that may be limited with no way to resupply and so must be conserved.

    • @westenicho
      @westenicho 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ROE always calls for firing at active enemy personnel, it's not like you're out there to shoot tin cans. In OSUT and throughout infantry training you are taught to acquire targets ASAP and call out your "3 D's" (distance, direction, description) for the rest of your squad or platoon so they can immediately take cover and return fire. You don't fire "blind" without knowing where the enemy generally is. The longer you take to acquire your target, the more vulnerable everyone is, but as soon as the enemy contingent is found you can expect your gunner to go cyclic and your fire team to lay down heavy fire to maneuver. It is absolutely not doctrine to be conservative with ammo at the beginning of an engagement-people will die that way. We have firing commands that squad leaders and platoon sgts will give out to let you know how much you should be expending.

      Blind fire is heavily dependent upon terrain (in addition to supply and civilians). For example, there isn't much blind fire in Iraq and Afghanistan simply because of the open terrain. Now take somewhere like Vietnam or the South Pacific during WW2, blind fire was the norm.

    Afgan war vet here, was in Kunar Province..Most engagements were at this kind of range. Then enemy knew to keep their distance and have avenues of escape, you usually couldn't see individuals shooting at you, you just knew the basic location and would concentrate fire at those areas until they ran away or stopped shooting. There's no hit markers in real life so you have no idea if you hit a guy or not, its only after when you advance to the area and find bodies do you know. Although the enemy would recover their dead so getting exact numbers is always hard.

    I don’t think his move was stupid. Most of the time the enemy waits until we’re in a position of zero cover. His fastest and smartest move was to go down hill. Because it’s always harder to go up hill. Besides he was pretty far down the hill, so either way his nearest cover was down hill.

      obv i wasnt there and didnt get a good layout of the land due to the camera perspective but where was his squad while he was moving down? i assume they all were in cover of some sort. if you look to his right at the start of the video you can see a big rock formation. now unless there is something that would make it such that he got there slower than getting ALL the way down that hill to get behind that structure. i dont see why he wouldnt advance towards the rock formation. 1. its equal to farther distance from the people shooting at you while you have no cover. so you are not advancing while having no cover. 2. the rock formation is shorter distance when you are being fired at with no cover your first objective should be to get behind cover.

      No rounds penetrated his body armor, and he made it home with no permanent injuries. This happened in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
      *READ* From the cameraman:
      " I got a hit a total of 4 times. My helmet cam died and i made it down the mountain on my own. I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off of my face. We were doing overwatch on the village to recon and gather intel.

      "A round struck the tube by my hand of the 203 grenade launcher which knocked it out of my hands. When I picked the rifle back up it was still functional but the grenade launcher tube had a nice sized 7.62 cal bullet hole in it and was rendered useless. "

This is one man trying to protect a dozen.

      I got out 3 years ago. And I only really used coms during convoy ops. But yeah it hasn’t changed since you got out.
      First number means platoon, second is squad.
      6 still means CO
      7 still PSG/1sg/SGM
      5 Still XO
      Delta still means Driver
      Actual still means dismounted prefix.
      Unless it’s changed in the past 3 years

      This is the statement from the soldier I got from Flunkers channel.
      "I got a hit a total of 4 times. My helmet cam died and i made it down the mountain on my own. I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off of my face. We were doing over watch on the village to recon and gather Intel. I was point heading down the face of the hill with the LT. when we got hit. the rest of the squad was pinned down by machine gun fire. I didn't start the video until a few mins into the firefight for obvious reasons. I came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety."
      They were ambushed when they were already going down the hill. He was point man.

    We’re trained not to return fire without a positive ID on the target. Collateral damages do such. I this was a close ambush though, positive ID would be nearly instant and in that situation you’d flip it on full auto and light a candle.
    We’re trained for quite a few different scenarios.

  • @MarcosElMalo2

    I’ve worked with a couple of Marines in the movie business. One guy was about two weeks after his separation, and he needed about a week to make the adjustment to working on a film crew. Once he adjusted, he was one of the best workers as long as we feed him crayons. Just kidding, he didn’t eat crayons, but he was the one of the best at anticipating moves and changes. He made me better, even though I had a little more experience.
    The other guy was still a sgt. in the reserve, and he was a model leader and problem solver. He was “squared away”, and he took care of the people he supervised. Good boss.
    In the first video, I think the guys had good environmental awareness, so they didn’t have to go looking for cover because they had already noted it. They could go towards it when the firing started. They were paying attention before contact.
    I have no combat experience, but I’ve lived most of my life inside cities and not in the best neighborhoods. You learn to keep your head on a swivel if you don’t want trouble. Staying safe is about situational awareness and anticipation.

    I hope you see this even tho it was months ago but the reason that guy moved down that hill without cover was because his unit was taking serious fire without much cover.

    I think I remember reading somewhere that the guy in the 2nd video was attempting to draw enemy fire as his squadmates were pinned down from heavy enemy fire. He apparently was hit around 3-4 times and was too far away from his team for them to hear his calls for help. Please correct me if I am wrong as this is just what I can remember, and one's memeroy isn't always accurate.

    The first clip was probably a platoon, with 4 squads. Notice there was no panic and no scattered firing without targets. They made contact, got defensive and assessed the situation while not exposing their positions or numbers. No point firing back if you don't know where to shoot. We were always taught to conserve ammo and make every shot count. The old saying, "don't fire until you see the white of their eyes". Not taken literally, but to mean don't fire until you can see what you're firing at.
