    Counterinsurgency in Afghanistan has been a complex and multifaceted effort involving both military operations and civilian initiatives. The main objective has been to diminish the influence of insurgent groups like the Taliban and establish a stable and secure environment. This process has required a delicate balance between kinetic operations-direct military action against insurgents-and non-kinetic measures such as building infrastructure, fostering local governance, and winning the "hearts and minds" of the Afghan population. NATO and U.S. forces have worked closely with the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) to disrupt insurgent networks, secure key areas, and reduce the insurgents' ability to operate freely. The counterinsurgency strategy has emphasized the importance of protecting the civilian population to undermine insurgent support and improve trust in the Afghan government.
    When troops in Afghanistan received enemy fire, they quickly executed a series of well-rehearsed actions to establish control and neutralize the threat. Upon contact, the first priority was to seek immediate cover to minimize exposure to enemy fire. Soldiers would then establish a base of fire, often deploying machine gunners and riflemen to provide suppressive fire, which aimed to keep the enemy pinned down and unable to maneuver effectively. The unit leader would rapidly assess the situation, determining the enemy's position and strength, often using optics and communication tools to gain a clearer understanding.
    The next step involved a coordinated maneuver to outflank or assault the enemy position. Fire teams would conduct bounding movements, where one team provided covering fire while the other team advanced to a new position, gradually closing the distance to the enemy. This leapfrogging method ensured continuous pressure on the insurgents while maintaining the safety of the advancing troops. Close air support and artillery could be called in to target enemy positions more precisely if the situation demanded. Throughout the firefight, communication was key, with team leaders coordinating their actions and requesting support as needed. The objective was always to overwhelm the enemy's position through superior firepower and tactical positioning, ultimately forcing the insurgents to retreat or surrender.
    The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) encompasses a wide range of roles and specialties, reflecting its versatile and rapid-response nature. Personnel within the MEU include infantry Marines, who engage directly in combat and conduct ground operations, and aviation units, which provide air support and transport. Logistics and support roles are vital, ensuring the MEU has the necessary supplies, equipment, and maintenance for sustained operations. Marines trained in medical, engineering, and intelligence functions are essential for the unit's overall effectiveness. Among the many roles, the M203 grenade launcher operator plays a critical part in infantry squads. The M203, which attaches to a standard M16 or M4 rifle, allows Marines to deliver explosive ordnance at longer ranges than hand-thrown grenades. It is used to target enemy positions, clear obstacles, and provide suppressive fire, making it a valuable asset in various combat scenarios.

      Thank you for the explanation on the whiz vs the crack. Not a veteran but I've been shot/shot at. The whiz is a sound I will never forget. I remember hearing the statement from you from a Marine buddy years before. When I heard the whiz/angry bee passing my head I realized that things were worse than I thought as I headed for cover. Last step to cover I went down from a 9mm through my thigh missing my femur by a 1/4" I later found out.
      Got to cover, TQ applied and as many people as I've trained in LE and Mil to apply TQs. We tell them it will hurt. I can say it's not emphasized enough how much worse the TQ hurt than the actual bullet through 2 muscles.

    Spent two years in Afghanistan as QRF with the Norwegian military. I was young and dumb and I loved it. I felt invincible. It was like the quote from Apocalypse Now, when Willard says "When I was here, I wanted to be there, when I was there all I could think of was getting back into the jungle." Hundreds of contacts, some brief and some several days long. Thinking about it now, when I am old and dumb, I could have died hundreds of times. And that shit scares me now, mostly because then I would not have been able to see my kids grow up... But hey, I lived, and I am still doing drills and teaching others to this day with the "Heimevernet" (Somewhat like the national guard, but without the budget)

He was deployed 3 times to Afghanistan and Iraq, been in many gunfights, his team was ambushed by an insurgent dressed as an Iraqi policeman where they took point blank Ak fire and his buddy was hit 6 times in the chest. Luckily they all survived, even his buddy who was hit, and luckily they dumped a full mag of 5.56 into the insurgents head as the guy went to reload his Ak. He was also in a humvee that hit a ied. He went through a lot and when he talks about the gunfights and shit he saw it really puts it into perspective of what our men go through over seas.

    My first firefight lasted 20 minutes, but actually ended in 2 seconds.
    It was one dude in a second story window with a belt-fed.
    SSGT whipped his rifle over and snapped a few rounds in the window before hitting cover with the rest of us.
    The weapon was still firing out the window really sporadically and I just remember SSGT calmly sighing and saying, "Huh..."
    When he looked over and we made eye contact SSGt said, "I'm pretty sure I got him. Lets just wait for him to bleed."
    The 2nd team behind us had already backtracked and cleared the building.
    Unbeknownst to us, both of SSGt's rounds removed the combatant's skullcap and his twitching corpse was jamming the trigger down...
    First firefight. It was just one dude. And he didn't even know how he died. Spent 20 minutes giving SSGT sh*t (*rounds flying everywhere* "eH, i ThInK i GoT eM" "Don't worry SSGT "Got 'em" "Hey SSGT, I heard you got em" *cut to us seeing a capless skull and mush with SSGT* "Oh sh*t...

We LIVE here every day, we know the neighbors, and community (to some degree), we know the terrain, the weather, etc. We don't really need to carry a week's worth, or several days, of food and water, all kinds of sustainment gear, etc.

      ​@@Nach0s187Yeah, but that makes them more vulnerable, not less, and there's also the fact that if we get into a revolution or civil war, all of our foreign adversaries will go on the warpath, so the military will be badly overstretched. Domestic units will probably have to spend most of their time doing force protection and cordoning off the cities, which will be complete hellholes. People out on the countryside will probably be mostly unbothered by them.

Made small arms contact at least once a month the entire time, though daily was more like it, average contact duration would be about a half hour before they got got or ran off. Started off against the last of Saddam's boys who were pretty organized, ended leaving the place completely aflame in a civil war.
    My biggest pet peeve with the entirety american gun culture is sticking your muzzle on the other side of cover. That's how you get disarmed by someone simply grabbing it from the other side. 18 year old me learned that at MOUT McKenna, and 20 year old me saw it play out in a real fight in Mosul. I despise the v-tac barrier...you simply will not get me to "train" with one, full stop. It's just as stupid as "stand in the middle of a room and engage multiple supposed threats from a stationary uncovered position" mass shooter training drill every competitive shooter loves.

    1 Army deployment to Iraq ('07, siege of Sadr City among other fights in our AOC) and 5 as a Contractor also to Iraq, it is definitely a different ball game than the 'stan, for us the mixed heavy urban theater and open area fighting (especially further west and in Kurdistan/ northern areas) really puts things in perspective. NTC at Irwin was good training, but still only prepares you so much for that environment and what you end up going up against in heavily adaptive nature. The battlespace is a 360 degree gut check.

    This would be great to revisit with a Green Beret. Unconventional warfare is more likely what would happen in the US. Combat vets training a small local force of defenders. Literally what their forte is. Small teams, troop and team management... just an idea.

    Would love more of this kind of content. Learning actual use cases and context, tactics as well as skills.

    Dude just said the truth. Combat is not always the dynamic ninja shit people show us. It's more like fat man stand up paintball with maybe a but more prone and cover.

      I will always tell the truth. I’m too lazy to lie.

    A couple is taking a walk in Berlin
    Suddenly, it starts raining.
    The two start arguing over whether it's raining or hailing.
    "Let's ask that Communist officer over there! He might know if it's raining!", the wife suggests.
    They go up to him and notice that his nametag says that his name is Olf. "It's raining, dummies, now go away!", he says.
    The wife, who said it was raining, smirks and tells her husband:
    "Rude Olf the Red knows rain, dear!"

    I love your breakdowns and analysis of war and or firearms oriented movies and shows, it would be interesting to see a series with not only your opinion as a gun nerd but also to have a guest like Zack on to compare opinions.
