As the US 1st Marine Division advances north from Nasiriyah towards Baghdad, 1st Recon Battalion moves to the east side of the town of Al-Gharraf to act as bait for the Fedayeen so that the rest of the Division to pass the town safely. However, once the Division has passed, 1st Recon's commander Lt. Col. Ferrando orders his battalion to punch through the centre of the town to re-join them quickly.

You got to hand it to who built that bridge. Thats a good goddamn bridge.
That or the engineers who rigged that bridge did a very poor job at putting explosive play dou on a gigant slab of concrete
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain
@@CubeInspector That's not taking his name in vain.
@@CubeInspector Neat, did you bother to ask them what their faith was first before assuming what it was?
Because it's just a word to everyone else, with no importance.
@@CubeInspectornot my god. Gods don’t exist
The fact no one died while running the gaunlet in Humvee's absolutely blows my mind.
In almost every Operations video americans almost never die. Or they sustain minimal losses.
very weird.
plot armor confirmed
@@incognito1539 Superior training, discipline, intel, and a MASSIVE technological advantage has that effect. It was even *more* lopsided in the Gulf War lol
@@incognito1539 the figures and even names of those lost in these battles are available for anyone with an ounce of interest.
@incognito1539 I mean these are real, highly documented, historical events. He's not just making this stuff up. Also, he's British, so why would he have an America bias lol?
Love the little detail that the rear right door of Brad's humvee isn't returning fire since Rolling Stones was sitting there
Yeah, the one time they gave Rolling Stone a gun it was Ray's and he flagged pretty much everyone in the truck.

Came to the comment section for this
@@synthwavecat96what do you mean by that? Not familiar with the term "flagged", thanks.
@@_DrSimon_ flagging refers to unintentionally pointing a gun at someone.
@@_DrSimon_ It means that he negligently pointed the muzzle of his weapon at people he didn't intend to shoot. That's a big no-no. You always have to mind where your weapon is pointing.
Imagine blowing away a group of dudes Marching towards you in a parade formation with a fucking cannon. Jesus christ that must have been grisly to see
Imagine seeing 2 transport trucks full of troops get annihilated but continuing to parade march toward those same enemy APCs
Wild story. Was there any explanation as to why that happened? Bad communication?
@@brohan914the only thing I can even guess is some bizarre attempt at mass confusion? Maybe to get just enough time for some kind of support to take effect?
@@brohan914maybe these guys where loyal had no weapons and decided to die instead of getting captured
I heard this and thought maybe they were surrendering and their squad leader thought that somehow made sense? Just seems so bizarre. Wonder what each man really thought was going to happen.
"Find me the quickest path though the town"
"Thats insane!! Okay."
I'd accept that from my GPS unit. :)
The guy that was driving the 5 ton that pulled our HMMWV out of the sopka was Staff Sergeant Brinkert....super good dude.
ray ray？hi
Well if it isn't the best damn RTO in the entire Marine Corps
@@yuanyuanauto1707 hello.
@@synthwavecat96 i like to think so myself
Man I gotta know, how close did the show get to the real Cpt.America? kinda seemed a bit overdone @@jperson
It's absolutely ridiculous that TH-cam demonetizes a channel like this. It's frickin animated recreations if historic events.
We really appreciate the work the team puts into these videos. I know it isn't easy.
neo communists, what can you do
@@raigarmullerson4838A private corporation censoring media is the epitome of capitalism what are you on?
@@merritiern2270 no, Google is an extension of the ruling central bank governing system. Capitalism is free trade without the interference of a governing system.
You just fail to identify what the true ruling system actually is.
@@CubeInspectorThis comment is why you don't do drugs kids!
@@CubeInspectoryou’re so wrong lol also demonetization is not censorship so it’s really not a big deal like you might think.
"As the great warrior poet Ice Cube once said, if the day does not require an AK... It is good"
"Then again, the world wouldn't have to deal with the prospect of you returning to your cretinous daughter-fucking trailer-park red-state shithole and producing mutant, Whiskey Tango, scrotum-faced, bucktoothed, zit-exploding progeny."
@@spirz4557Heads up...
hate to break it yto ya, but ice cube aint no warrior.. he's an actor and entertainer.
@@raidermaxx2324 Someone didn't understand the reference...
@raidermaxx2324 he made a joke😂
Weirdly, the show doesn't portray Colbert's vehicle actually driving into that mud, but it does portray Colbert's efforts to chisel it off the bottom of his humvee.
Likely intended to portray it, but ended up on the floor of the cutting room. At that point they're through the town, so the story flows a lot better to just end the gauntlet there, rather than add another 5-10 minutes of a stuck Hummer. I don't recall that part even being mentioned in Lt. Fick's book, so it doesn't seem it was a particularly important detail.
More like Trombley? More like TROMBLEY?!
WHOPPER JR
WHOPPER JR
You know. Burger King. BK Baby Killer.
Trombley's our little baby killer ever since he shot those camels.
I forgot about this line 😂. The total betrayal in Ray's voice is what sells it
The fact that this video came out a day after I finished binge watching generation kill proves that you're watching me through my windows. I just have to figure out which one
All of them.

Hey Ops Room, love the content. I'm still recovering losses and dealing with insurance over our property being wiped off the map this past summer by a large wildfire in BC, Canada.
So we are pinching pennies. My entire support and appreciation goes out to you and your crew, and when financial straits are fully back to normal, I will absolutely be joining youtube, patreon, and anywhere else to help support you, because believe it or not, while we were evacuated and in uncertain straits about whose properties were lost and whose weren't, your videos helped keep my mind somewhat occupied, as opposed to being a total anxious mess. So I owe you. And I'll make good on that, you can be certain.
Please go on and keep creating the great content you always have, and I'll always give it a watch and a like, for all that helps, until I've paid my debt back. Thank you Ops Room.
Sincerely,
Jay

Just know that your British Columbian government refuses private Alberta based resources to assist in (Wildland Urban Interface) Firefighters.
While your homes burned, millions of dollars worth of firefighting equipment and dozens of trained firefighters sat in AB - Even though we asked to help.
@@dabomb199715 Oh believe me, I'm aware. There were failures all over the government during this catastrophic event.
Can't believe you were demonetized, this is one of the few channels that makes me genuinely excited for new uploads.
The channel isn't, just certain videos do.
If you want similar content I can't recommend History Dose enough, the narrator does the writing and his brother does the illustrations. All of the videos are fantastic.
Who said he was demonetized? Did you watch the whole video?
Liberals are very soft these days sadly.
@@ww32 Thanks for the rec I'll check it out!
“Gimme some of that sweet November Juliet😁”
“What’s November Juliet?”
😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
You know I heard you guys call Trombley; Whopper Jr. What's up with that?

why does the reporter get desert
It's a military alphabet acronym, like Whiskey-Tango stands for White Trash.

I hate the social media company logic of "Follow our rules, or you get punished" while in the same breath: "How dare you ask what the rules are, you are just trying to avoid punishment!"
Heck I'd love to be able to ask and get any response as to why so many of my seemingly benign comments are silently disappearing. It's gotten to the point it's hard to hold any conversation. And I have no idea why except "TH-cam" .....
@@nic.h It is the algorithm that picks out keywords, and if enough are above a secret "threshold" the comment is removed. Instagram does the same thing. The best advice I can say is simply misspell or abbreviate words that could be considered controversial. s3x, drruugs, vi0le3nce, w3ap0ns, etc.
GROOOOMING STANDARD!
By first lights tomorry, I expects all of yall to be clean shaven.
Captain America to your six.
Yalls look like a bunch of Elvises!
Lots of things can go wrong ouchea. Lack of battery, cold chow, lack of poosie, but the one thing these mens can counts on is a grooming standard. I believe it ought to be there for 'em.
Shave my ballsack
POLICE THAT MOOSTACHE!!!!!!
Generation KIll is indeed a great show!
CAUSE IM JUST A TEENAGE DIRTBAG BABY
SHUT UP RAY!
MOMMA DONT LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE COWBOYS
GOD DAMNIT RAY! What did I say about country music
There are no cowboys.
Atleast my mom took me to NASCAR
I absolutely despise that "Well we can't tell you because we don't want you to work around that policy."
In other words, "We're not going to tell you what you did wrong because we just want to steal your ad revenue."
Yea its dumb logic. If people work around their policy, it means they aren't violating it. And if they think that its still resulting in 'inappropriate content' then they should update their guidelines to address it.
Maybe it's time we all take a day off TH-cam at the same time, just to get their attention that we have had enough of their s*** behaviour.
What a coincidence. I just started watching this series for the first time a few minutes ago.
...is the Ops Room inside my walls
Best show ever made
They aren’t, but I am
You should have rolled into battle with a sword, Brad
Now look at us. Trombley hasn't killed anybody, I am half a world away feom good Thai 🐱, and Colbert is out here rolling around fuckbutt Iraq, hunting for dragons in a MOPP suit that smells like 4 days of piss and ball sweat.
That would have fucking rocked
I was in the USAF 2002-2008 as an Iraqi translator. Opsec meant we didn't get the full picture of what was going on. So it's interesting all these years later to see what happened in more detail. Interesting on a personal level, but I want to be clear that I regret all the trauma and strife that have happened to the Iraqi people. They are, a few bad actors aside, a wonderful people with a beautiful culture. نتمنى لكم جميعا مستقبلا جيدا
I feel bad for all the nations that got terrorized by the US.
@@incognito1539didn't this whole thing happen because of iraq
@@user-db6jv2kd1gYeah it did. As an Iraqi i hate Saddam more than the US invasion, although both were bad Saddam is more comparable to that Austrian guy.
@@LockflyThe Austrian guy was right, too. As was Saddam, “America is occupied by Israelis”, well he sure got that right, didn’t he?
@@jakemocci3953 lol what. Anyway u know Saddam was a US puppet until he ran out of money in the war against Iran and invaded Kuwait to pay off hi's debts. Saddam was a dog off hi's leash
That dude jumping into the river is a fine detail :D
Whopper Jr Whopper Jr
Yo Whopper Jr you got any Tabasco to go with this?
Give me some of that November Juliet
What’s it take for a man to get jalapeño and cheese
Trombly, shut up
Whopper whopper whopper! Junior, double, triple whopper😂🎉
Can only imagine how it felt to be that reporter stuck in the last group of vehicles to go through a city filled with hostiles, knowing they understand your route and are just waiting to open fire. Hats of to combat reporters, takes courage to stand on a battlefield armed with nothing but a camera
The reporter was busy handing colbert 203 grenades
@@yuanyuanauto1707 That was only in the show. In the book he talked about Ray passing him his rifle, only for Wright to do nothing with it other than flag the others.
Saw Generation Kill years ago. Didn’t realize this battle had 2 future Defense Secretaries in it (Mattis and Austin)…
“At least my mom took me to NASCAR”
that's why movies and shows like blackhawk down and generation kill are important
while not fully accruate they do offer insight and combined with videos like that make situation even more clear
I just finished generation kill yesterday. Interesting to say the least so I’m glad you’re braking down the events that actually happened
Just finished watching Generation Kill. Thanks for this! I hope you cover some of the other episodes as well. Maybe that ambush part on a bridge.
That show made me realize that incompetent officers within your ranks are scarier than the enemy.
I am following you for years and i from the first video i saw it was obvious immediately that this is going to be a top quality channel. Im glad the community agrees!!
Cpl Josh Ray Person: So yeah, [Puts on sunglasses] homes, we pimpin'.
- Get Some
You guys do a great job providing accurate retellings of historic battles. I'm sorry YT is not transparent with their policies, but please know I enjoy your videos greatly. Thanks for what you guys do, I wish your team eternal success!!
I literally just finished watching this series wtf I am so glad I came by this channel to check and see about Iraq War videos
that snapshot, of their denying to even show where or what this content violates ...says it all.
Thanks for the video, Generation Kill's one of my favorite series.
This is like sprinting from your house to your car when it's raining and hoping to run fast enough to not get wet.
Crazy to think it's been 4 years. I still haven't missed a single video. I'll be checking out the Patreon for sure.
the veterans love your videos because some of the people watching your videos about the recent invasion of afghanistan/iraq were there
I was at el kief/obj Jenkins.
Excellently told by yourself and your graphics team. Awesome account. ❤
Thank you very much for another of your fantastic videos. Love the way they are set up, and your top quality explanations :)
About the Parade Formation :
I think it was desperate attempt to hold the tanks untill the charges detonate.
I love your animations. That’s so cool.
Hello! I love your videos and I'm looking forward to the next episode of the series. I always wondered where you take the information for your videos from, because they look so detailed. Thank you!
Your channel is the only one I support since it's educational, entertaining, and correct. Ya'll do a great job, and I have been with your channel since the beginning. Keep up the great work!
"History is what i want"
- TH-cam, probably
We always love your videos. Keep them coming. 👍
I served with the then LTCOL Dowdy when he was CO of 1/1 BLT, the GCE that was part of 11 MEU embarked on my ship, the USS PELELIU (LHA 5) back in 1999. Talked with him a few times, tough and resourceful. I was very surprised when I heard what happened to him during OIF. Word even reached those of us out to sea with the ATF.
Thank you for uploading
You are doing an amazing job. Thank you!
Dude I love your recreation of battlefields and the exploration of what happen during firefights. Great stuff keep it up.
jumpscared by my name at the end, great video as always!
HUGE congrats on 1 million subscribers and glad to be one of them!!!
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
man i just want to say how cool your videos are, keep them up!!
Love your work, brother!
Liked it before even finishing the video. I know it's going to be top notch as usual.
thank you for posting
Ironic that it's still called "Google support" when internal policies prevent them from supporting anything.
Wait hwat?
@@synthwavecat96 sorry we can't tell you.... TH-cam probably.
Glad to help... glad for the content... plz keep it up..
Just listened to this book and watched the mini series.
This is very well done.!
Always good. Thank you.
Seeing this video brings me back to Najaf. I was deployed with the 3ID during all this, it was as absolute nightmare for a young barely 19 year old me. We saw constant combat for nearly two days straight, it was hell.
America: The least stupid slave 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wish I had more capital to 'Patreon' a bunch of creators. For now the best you can do is to diversify onto other platforms. None of this will change unless there is real competition between platforms.
Great work as usual!
Market segmentation is going to be a problem going forward unfortunately. Exactly like you have to subscribe to multiple platforms currently to get the shows you want to see (Amazon, Disney, Netflix, etc).
The animation looks great. Good job.
Your channel is exceptional!
Love the content as always, could you add a scale bar to the graphics? I like knowing the scale of things
Would love to see the Chechen wars explained, since they're conflicts very few people know about
Another great episode and Generation kill is one hell of a show.
I would definitely pay for a strategy game based on your map graphics. Make it like a simulation game where you can recreate historical battles or play a campaign. Think about it! Love your channel!
Operations room does a great job at displaying what happened as best they can.
This type of animation would go perfectly with a documentary or something similar, you guys should consider a collab for that!
Brilliant as always.
Literally just rewatched the whole series. Still one of the absolute best ever made
Im brand spanking new to the channel, so maybe i dont have a leg to stand on. However, whenever they become available, please take sponsorship deals. The hard work and morals it seems you apply to making videos deserves to be rewarded beyond patron subs. Especially so, if you've only just recently made a page over there.
This information is so useful but also so entertaining !😊
14:07 I like that the guys in the top right column are still shooting at nothing
Terrific video!
yees, thankyou for upload you very good
Dogg your channel is dope af. Are WW1 vids off the table??
My sacrifice to the algorithm. Keep up the good quality work.
TH-cam: You're in breach of our rules. Channel: What rules am I breaking? TH-cam: That's for us to know and for you to make wild guesses Mwah ha hah!. Channel: @#$%!!!
I will never understand why the news can show whatever they want and are still monetized but your content is demonetized for showing flags.
I just got done wwatchign this again, such a great show! So cool to see how it was before it was adapted for film. I would love to see more!
Thank you for doing these videos despite the sad state of online entertainment regulations.
I'd imagine that a channel with talented people as you could do other more profitable projects in line with these regulations, yet you keep covering important and educational topics about the world we live in.
Thank you for staying true to your principles!
Remotetized.
congratulations for reaching 1 million subs😮
Thanks!
Hello, my friend! Great contet as always. Can you please do a video about the actions of the MSOT 8222 aka Dagger 22 in Bala Murghab, Afghanistan in 2010? The Marine Raiders are a subject that intrigues me the most. Thank you! Greetings from Brazil!
You guys should be on nebula. Love the vids as always.
Hope to see this channel on Nebula in the future so I can support you with my views there. Seems like a perfect solution for this channel!
My favoritest episode so far in this series.
Congrats on the 1 million!
Excellent historical recreation!
i started rewatching generation kill....this very episode last night before this yt video dropped...
¡Gracias!
Loved this show
I hear Force Recon and the name Trombly, I was like Generation Kill!!! Been so long since I watched it.
The animation on the bridge was so good
