One Shepherd takes out S&S Patrol Leader
Переглядів 455Рік тому
During the final firefight at the One Shepherd 40th Anniversary FTX (Fall 2021), S&S Patrol Leader moves to contact, conducts a Friend or Foe Challenge, on unknown personnel. He receives no password in reply to the challenge and then fires onto One Shepherd warriors. He is then subsequently MILES near missed and then killed by the One Shepherd attacking personnel.

Dyed UCP Lvl 5 & 6 Camouflage Effectiveness
Переглядів 9 тис.2 роки тому
VERY affordable alternative to the LVL 5 & 6 layers of the ECWCS system. A good wet/cold weather layer during the fall/winter months is a must, but the Multicam/ OCP pattern will run you a couple hundred dollars for each set. Using our dye method you can turn that useless UCP pattern into one that will actually work with the fall & winter months in the midwest, for a fraction of the cost. You c...

Direct Action Raid

I had the opportunity to lead a great squad of Warriors through an FTX in the fall of 2018. We conducted a 0500 am raid on an enemy communications node. Consisting of a M151 Mutt with communications equipment. Guarded by a Blufor Squad. We achieved our goal of placing simulated C4 on the MUTT for demolition. The intelligence we gathered on enemy locations the previous 24 hours contributed great...
@S&S Training Solutions, Do you know if the UCP digital version of the bivy bag for the MSS can be dyed a different color?
@sage4293 yes! I'll post up a pic of one I did.
@@sstrainingsolutions3832 Okay. Thanks for the response!
This old SPEARHEAD Soldier is thinking that MILES is ALL about being shot at...and being HIT for record? I'll PASS. Last time I played with MILES was a V-Corps Squad Leader Training Evaluation wherein I supposedly "executed" the two wounded Soviet Spetsnaz. My squad was the ONLY one to ambush their ambush site and complete their silly course, too. Alpha 21.. 533d MI BN 3AD
@@geoffmcnew5863 We do make it a point to not let AARs turn into "Who Killed, Who." or war story time. Just what went well, what to continue and what to fix. Our OCs have two main jobs: safety of students and respawn when needed, not play GOD with the students in training, killing them needlessly to feed their own ego. Killing trainees needlessly stops any potential learning from happening and stifles actual combat outcomes that are possible with MILES FoF. Not to mention it destroys faith/buy in of the scenario. We do not record kills, just train small unit tactics and let the students determine the outcome with their actions. Thanks for the comment!

Is other training with your outfit required prior to being able to attend this?
@@jayshutko Patrolling & conducting operations in cold weather conditions is a highly specialized task requiring specific training and patrolling experience. Therefore we must require a certain amount of experience required to participate. How do you prove it? Veterans can provide combat arms DD214, civilians- attend the 1 Shepherd Leadership Institute, Max Velocity or similar patrolling school. Or call us to describe your background & skill level if none of the above applies to you! The cold will beat you before the enemy, if you let it. Prerequisites: Must be able to demonstrate tactical proficiency in the following categories: Basic Patrolling Competency: IMT, Hand & Arm Signals, Patrolling Formations, Attack Formations & AR15 manipulation. Land Navigation: ability to use compass and read military map day & night (civilian orienteering ok) Working knowledge & application experience on at least ONE skill in EACH Tactical Task category: Offensive Operations- Ambush, Raid, Deliberate Attack, Movement to Contact, Pursuit & Exploitation, Counter-Attack Enabling OPS- Area Recon, Point Recon, Screening Ops, Covering Ops, Guard Ops, Passage of Lines Defensive OPS- Area Defense, Retrograde Delay/Withdrawal, Mobile Defense, Patrol Base, Objective Rally Point
Yall's production value has improved drastically!
I'm still sad that we didn't get the chance to make a video with you guys before facebook nuked the LFP page.
@@let_freedom_ping thanks Zcuckerberg 😑 Hope you can make it sometime still.
This was an amazing event. Cant wait for the next one!
Nooice!
i wanna go larp in the snow!!! will there be fed boi infiltraitors embedded with us?
@@notlisted-cl5ls always. But at least you'll look cool in snow camo on their dossier of you.
Do you need to shoot at the sensors in order for it to trigger?
@@3dprintwiz378 at closer ranges 50 meters to 20 meters, it does help. Beyond that, the laser profile actually expands allowing center mass aiming to be the correct procedure.
Man I'd love to attend this course. It looks amazing!
👊
There was definitely more snow than 2022 heh, looks like it was a good time. I gotta try and come out again at least for the FTX for '25.

Looking forward to it!

Winter Forge 2025 is gonna be great!
@@EverydayCitizensTactical cannot wait!
There is a small hole in the front of the M-16 transmitter. If you lightly tap the hole with your finger, the laser silently fires. No need to fire a blank. We had fun with this in training in '91. You can do it casually, bunch of folks sitting around eating lunch or whatever, all of the sudden someone's gear starts alarming, then you have to find an instructor with a God key. Troops will always find a way to mess around!
@@whitemdw on the Loral era MILES yes, you could do that. On the Cubic MILES you cannot, it must see and feel the muzzle flash.
Try RIT Taupe next time it isn't as dark as choclate brown. It makes the Sage like OD Green and the beige like coyote color.
Oo cool! I will check it out.
@@sstrainingsolutions3832 Just dyed my level 5 ACU jacket last night with taupe and it came out perfectly. This is my third time using taupe. Taupe is a lighter dye so make sure you use 1 bottle of dye per 2 pounds of fabric and agaitate for 30 mins straight, and then I agiated every 15 minutes until I hit an hour of dye time. Since the level 5 is so thin it took the dye really well but I've noticed that molle pouches with the taupe dye dont dye as dark becasue they are thicker. They end up looking like a really dirty ACU but are still wayyyyy better in desert/brown conditions. This is why i started following the 2 pounds of fabric per bottle and i think the pouches turned out better since its more concentrated. Also I used water at like 160ish degrees to start since i didn't want to damage the jacket with straight boiling water. Wish I could DM you a picture on youtube lol.
Cool video! Really appreciate it since a lot of stuff doesn't always come in great colors for wooded/outdoor areas.
They are more rare, but you can get the level 7 layers in AOR1/2 camo patterns
The undyed suit blends to that environment better
I don't like your comment sir 😆. There is something to the grey color thought process for uniforms like the old French or German uniforms.
Can MILES gear mimic ballistics (like bullet drop relative to aim)?
It does slightly. The laser fired is a rectangular box with the kill code information in the center. Out at 500 yards the kill ratio is increased in the lower portion of the box making a slight correction for drop needed. It is not exactly true to 5.56 ballistic however, being a laser and traveling in a straight line. But they did program it as best as can to mimic it.
Wonder how this would do with a lighter brown dye.
Could use the same dye but use less to see what comes out.

Is there any way to do this without the stupid pointless formations and dumb non combat military crap? I didnt serve in the USMC and get out to go back to train as a civilian to go right back into the garbage BS councelings and useless military crap.

Having gone, you'll spend about 5% of your time on formations. They use them practically, to get accountability and share announcements. It doesn't feel overbearing in any way.
Brooklyn Armed Forces produces commercial copies of ECWCS 7 layer in different colors (tan, Multicam). What can you say about these jackets from this company?
I just ordered their "level 7" vest, we'll see!
Did you have any trouble with dye coming off on to you when sweating in the gear ?
Usually in the cold you won't or shouldn't be sweating, but applying the Fixative solution from Rit should alleviate the color bleed.
How do I self revive
You cannot. You must report to the Casualty Collection Point to be reset via an Observer Controller using a God Gun. Then remarry the SAT to the Harness. Otherwise, the harness will not tone out near misses/kills and the SAT cannot fire any laser rounds until this action is completed.
Something that i learned with canteens is to keep one in your jacket, up against your body, to keep it from freezing and the other one in the pouch. Swap them out when youve depleted one and warm the 2nd one with your body. Great advice btw, thanks!
Oh yeah, nice!
Would love to join! Thinking about adding any locations in Texas?
Damn, it pisses me off how good multicam is sometimes
There's a pattern out there called All Terrain Tiger that is awesome. I wish someone would license it and put it in production. It's the hotness.
I just did my first effort of dying the ACU set. Top and bottoms are different shades. What size of container did you use? Did you dye them together? I did the cocoa brown and the top looks reddish. What did I miss?
Might be the difference in material composition. Depending on the blend of cotton to nylon, it can change the look. Also, Rit dye does not work as well on things like polyester. They do make a dye for synthetics but I haven't used it. Check the labels if you still have the clothing and see if the blend is different or if one includes synthetic fabrics other than nylon. Rit seems to work on nylon fairly well, but other synthetics not so much.
I have question What about bullet balstic?does it simulate too? Because laser move in straight line but bullets are move way diffrently
I don’t believe so. I have heard that there is a new system being developed that does account for those things but finding info on it is tough
with all due respects,you are putting ucp camo in front of the camera. What do you expect any pattern to blend in with anything in that close of? Try to go anywhere further than 50feets away which really isn't far, the ucp would look just at good as it should be.
the dyed version looks like shit
what do u mean the standard UCP was way better😂
im gonna be honest, i think it blended better un-dyed, and to claim this is so much better is purely out of hatred for ucp than it is actual reason i dont think its a problem with the idea in general, ive seen some ucp dyed with instant coffee that had it's lighter tones match a coyote brown tone incredibly well, which i think would work much better here as it's a lot brighter resulting in less of a silhouetting effect (especially in the shade)
