Patrol Formation Basics: React to Contact

This video is a follow up to Patrol Formation Basics. If you haven’t watched that video, go check it out first.
As usual, this video is just dipping your toe in the water of small unit tactics, and really only covers breaking contact and peeling away. That is intentional. Additionally the terms, formations, etc. are streamlined for the first video, and DO NOT reflect a complete curriculum (it’s 20 min on TH-cam guys, not a real class).
For more information on these types of tactics, you need to out to take courses. I honestly don’t know of anyone else in America teaching SUT to civilians, much less in the private sector. Blake Flannery heads up that program for us, with the main offerings being Small Unit Maneuvers(3 day), Small Unit Sustainment(5 day), and Fire and Maneuver (live fire, 4 day).

Please keep up the patrolling series, super informative and helpful!

[@Retread268]

The content is great, needs more comments and views. One for the algorithm. Great content for anyone is a group of size to learn and practice.

[@WanderingWildcat]

The 3 D’s should always be Direction, Distance, and then Description. If the goal is to orient your focus to a certain ‘thing’, Direction is the most important by far.
If you’re reacting to contact you run the risk of being washed out by the ensuing chaos. You might have a second to speak.
Direction first.

[@gbos4384]

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

[@-starlight-88]

[@runnug]

thank you for this series!

[@wildphilgaming]

Great video! Takes me back to BCT days. Always went off the Ranger book and the old 60s/70s mil issue books as well as I still have my soldier's handbook from the early 00's.

[@That1hawaiianmf]

BABE!!! OTG POSTED ANOTHER VIDEO GET THE COFFE AND DONUTS!

[@Jake-oz8ln]

I wouldn't be this hyped over this group, but ok

[@elumiluce]

Keep doing these type videos!

[@bluetv6386]

The Belgian pants to go with the fire place.

[@Coop1588]

I have always wondered why people very rarely mention smoke. I know recently it just became alot harder for people to own smoke grenades but I have aleays wondered the efficacy of using smoke.

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

Smoke is great for a lot of reasons for sure. Could do a whole video/lesson plan just on that

[@Coop1588]

I remember using smoke as a kid for airsoft and it was not only super fun but also seemed to be effective, not just for retreats but for also closing in on the enemy. I would love a video on the doctrine of using smoke.

[@jakedewald]

Great stuff!

[@corporaterobotslave400]

All I can hear is my platoon sergeant yelling "Hasty one-eighty!"

[@99cobra2881]

Great video thank you

[@brawldawg8729]

Great video! Good value. Keep it up.

[@MidwestSurvivalCompany]

Just wanna say don’t forget to like so these guys grow!!

[@montanatacticalhomesteader6623]

Very helpful, thank you

[@jonathanfisher3916]

I wish Jared was my dad.

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

😂

[@jarredwoodard9395]

How about a video about multiple squads and movement overcoming ambushes ? Maybe flanking too

[@rbselfdefense3868]

Awesome video, show us the next moves

[@gromit848]

If you could add smoking a pipe while doing these videos that'd just be the cherry on top

[@Beacon7x]

Thanks for the video!

[@nero1375]

Awesome again guys! Thanks for the material Cheers!

[@darrinlenton]

Thank you.

[@Combat-Wombat]

Most of those MoH sprints on react to contact are an after effect of overgrown elements. Almost like platoons are made of squads and squads are made of firetams for a reason.

[@user-pb1xi7yu7i]

❤

[@AisforAmerica]

Let’s get it!

[@frontsightfocus]

👍

[@Jake-oz8ln]

I like how a swat guy is "teaching" patrol tactics lol

[@adamlogsdon6832]

Remember if you dont know these things. It is good to write it down so you have hard copies to refer to

[@simonmwenda6568]

Am trained enough bu5 what i believed is without God you cant survive..train hard but always trust in God wherever

[@MAB3776s]

You’re never trained enough and you can never trust in God enough but having a great relationship with our Maker won’t stop a bullet from being our demise. It’ll just assure we get to see him in heaven. Always pray harder and train harder. God bless. Stay free

[@scottplagmann3411]

Great hands on information for civvies ...I really feel when SHTF we are going to have members of military and law enforcrment who are constitutional patriots. I'd like to think not all will be mindless lemmings out to enforce liberal progressive and wokist agendas. They have training that we need to be able to support and enter seamlessly.
God bless ya"ll and keep that powder dry!
