POV: Platoon Sergeant on a USMC LFAM range
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- LFAM (Live Fire And Maneuver) ranges are typically conducted at the squad, platoon, and company levels.
The role of a Platoon Sergeant during conduct is to coordinate casualty care and to work alongside the Platoon Commander by assisting with controlling key events during the assault and with the coordination and control of supporting agencies.
The down side of doing any job higher than a squad leader is that you rarely ever get to pull the trigger. As a Platoon level leader, weapons are your squad leaders and your radio. However, if you get a chance to sneak in some full auto… well…
One thing of note, all those people standing up are safety officers and company leadership viewing the range, not the Marines actually executing the range.
Never Stand when you can Kneel, never Kneel when you can Prone, use Cover at every opportunity, and never forget to assess suppression before moving.
“On the battlefield, a zero-defect mentality has little value: if people are afraid of making mistakes… they will not take risks and they will not exercise initiative. Furthermore, they will not win the war. In combat, the leader must personally supervise only those actions that jeopardize the overall mission, and then allow subordinates to exercise individual initiative (and make a few mistakes) on everything else.” -H.J. Poole, ‘The Last Hundred Yards’
gives those old Funker530 combat footage vibes
Good stuff brother, fellow Plt Sgt here! Only thing I would recommend is allowing your squad leaders to control their squad. I noticed at times you telling some Marines to cover and move or fire and move. Though you can do that, I would have liked to see the SL take some initiative and make that call based off of the paint he was receiving. Just my opinion from the view I had. Great rep.
Awww gotta love them rolling gunz
IAR at full auto puuuuurs
whats the name of those high cut opscore style helmets marines are rocking these days? they look gooood
They're high cut ECHs. Not really available on civilian market, if you find one, it's a little expensive for what it is. OR, there are fakes, people taking normal ECHs and cutting them compromising the integrity of the armor a little.
What ammunition was used? Green tip, or steel tip M855A1? Or something else?
