“No Slack” soldiers of 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division get pinned down by accurate PKM and RPG fire in Afghanistan’s Kunar province.
The troops are unable to gain fire superiority and are few in numbers on a remote outpost, which makes it impossible maneuver on the enemy. Instead, they call in artillery fire from a larger nearby base. They are able to “walk the rounds onto target” by relaying corrections over the radio to the artillery team.
Dude calls in artillery support like he's ordering a pizza! That's calm under pressure!

Funker? The lowest German Army rank for the enlisted side correct?!?!
@@ajcook7777 Wait, what?? :'D I think you mean "Gefreiter", that's the lowest rank... Funker means radio operator in german
@@nahtot7989 Naw bro I just looked it up...Gefreiter is a higher rank than a soldat (which is what a funker is) check out the wikipedia...there is a table about halfway down that shows the different branches...It says that a funker is a OR-1 and a Gefreiter is an OR-2
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldat_(rank)
@@ajcook7777 Soldat is nothing else than a recruit...
Funker means Radio operator
Funker is a cool name
Damn the enemy were hella close to have to detonate the claymore...
That or they were preparing to pull out and it is easier and safer to just blow the ordinance in place rather then recover it.
Could also be pre-placed to target known infil points. Claymore could probably buckshot a somewhat large area
They manually set it off from the OP
They called 800m on the radio.. claymore is probably only good for 50m

Man the guy recording all of this is cool as a cucumber.
Exactly what it takes to git er done !!
No one was recording, it's the helmet cam smh
@@corey8420 Exactly..Making proper radio calls, checking equiptment, giving specific coordinates, callouts, constantly looking over all his men while under accurate PKM & RPG fire & still cool as a cucumber.
that's cuz their aim is worse than the cops in bad movies.

This is a example battle hard soldiers. No loss of control or discipline while under enemy fire. You go get em and keep safe boys, we are proud of you thanks.
Not really. It wasn't even close and they are acting like mamma mamma help us. Second world war, Vietnam etc. soldiers would not have even noticed that explosion LOL
coz they got better vintage point. They can sees enemy coming.
@@lottnio8207 I kinda agree with you.
@@lottnio8207 bragging about not realizing rounds are going off is a weird flex but ok
@@lottnio8207 Stop putting down modern era soldiers. Disgusting how people like you put soldiers from other eras over others when in my point of view, all are equally brave and committed to their job. That "LOL" in the end is disrespecting as well, what's funny? What's good about not noticing artillery and bullet fire? It's mostly adrenaline that causes you not to really be aware, it's the same with gunshot wounds. Not noticing artillery fire will lead you to your death. So, I guess WW3 would make them on par then? Alright, hope you enjoy global extinction from Nuclear winter. If not, intense fire from MLRS and ICBMs may do the trick. Oh, maybe a tomahawk missile strike is good enough to make modern era soldiers on par with WW2 and Vietnam. Ah yes, I forgot cluster bombs could do the trick. Making them lose their limbs, eyes, organs may help them prove to be on par with WW2 and Vietnam. I guess you are forgetting the Soldiers who are deployed in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt? Point is, stfu and just respect the people who protect your asses from getting kicked. If you serve your country yourself as a soldier, I respect that, but I won't respect whatever you said...
Did he ever find the saddle? He spent half a belt looking for it.

We replaced these guys in kunar. Fun times...
@Venting to myself we actually worked very closely with the towns leaders to protect them from the taliban who were senselessly killing their people. We were on a taliban supply route near Pakistan where the taliban brought weapons over from Pakistan into Afghanistan. They used those weapons to kill local townspeople and soldiers. The people we killed were done out of self defense to ourselves and that's it. I'm a simple. Man. If someone is shooting at me I shoot back. The taliban weren't defending their land. It's not the talibans land. We were helping the locals defend their land. At least slightly know what you were talking about. You should probably stick to worrying about call of duty.
anony mous you shouldn’t even respond to people like that mate, they will never listen.
@@hello1236096 true
Venting to myself you are a clown. US troops care more about civilians than the local police do they get strung out on heroin and do nothing with a few exceptions (meaning there are a good Number of uncorrupt police who actually care about their people and do their duty’s) if you actually watch some documentaries and studied you would have known that. So go back to clown college idiot
@Venting to myself Maybe learn more about something before forming an opinion?
You sound really stupid being wrong.
Stick to talking to yourself.

are you the soldier?
It's great to have you back uploading again, Funker.
Yeah, it's time to OPEN UP again. Thank you for posting HISTORY. More and more mercy and grace to you.
I was born in 2006, and the fact that all this happened while i was sleeping/playing at the time, is very interesting to me.
2006 gang. You should look at operation desert storm. That shit was interesting.
1989 here
7th grade when Sept 11 happened. Watched news all day in school when towers were attacked. Everyone knew war was coming. And all over lies. Our own government and Isreal was responsible...
Real life for a soldier , " got grass on our heads, don't know what we're doing out here" yep but you don't hesitate to fight for freedom and it's why I'm forever in your debt.
Fkn right!!!! Get some!🤙🛹
4:44 being an A gunner mostly sucks.
So weird how we can watch what was probably a horrible experience for them from the comfort of our homes. Also, is that a dismounted 203 he is shooting?
yeah 203's can be shot handheld just by themselves.
M320, not 203
@@queuedjar4578 320
It's an M320 made by H&K. Just a more modern version of the M203 that can be hand held and usually is.
@@theorderlyguy5315 you correct should have simply classified it as 40mm since that's more accurate. I forget the seperate handheld angry tube is a different and new variant.

Ahhhh good ol kunar, the land of love. Gotta love triple 7 support from abad. Shit always gave me a chub.
0:55 coolest way the get cover, he just smooth in there to get cover after freakin explosion
4:30 Assuming friendly. Too close not to engage them and the 'camera man' pans towards the guy.
Scrolled down to see if anyone mentioned this... gotta believe that was a friendly, otherwise he'd have been noticed with so many eyes not to have caught that. Or, everyone just missed it while in the the heat of the moment and that was in fact taliban.
Came down to check too. Hope it was friendly
taliban
No way that was friendly
So close they can almost grab your belt buckle if you are detonating a claymore ! Passage of information between these soldiers was clear and concise and they worked well under pressure utilising Artillery and sustained machine gun fire .. Bravo 👏
It is terrifyingly interesting and cool to watch real combat footage.

I just read a novel Ghost Platoon where some Marines built their own JDAM like smart mortars and guided them in with quadcopters with targeting system. Badass book!
Most likely an nco was in charge you know them marines.
There like unsupervised children
"We just wanted to see what happened when you"
Thos are the Marines and don't even touch the medic cus then they become shoot first and. Continue shooting than ask questions
i think we need to appreciate that gentle clap on the machine gunners cheek at the end of the vid. Thats true companionship!
"One round every 30 seconds."
Me: 30, 29, 28...
Awesome to show the enemy our tactics 😀
Yeah lots of opsec showing basic infantry tactics and equally basic call for fires...
Probably only a couple officers among you but I SALUTE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!!
my favourite quote. "I don't know, but we have grass on our head" pretty much sums up the military.
Over and over on these videos we see the same problem: (1) the difficulty of actually spotting where enemy fire is coming from (2) the slowness of return fire from artillery or aircraft. They need some sort of aircraft that can loiter permanently overhead, identify targets/sources of fire and strike them very quickly.
sounds very...very expensive
@@anomalyp8584 hes thinking of a uav drone or id say a handheld drone there somewhat cheaper than an aircraft but still expensive
@@noAlia5 I know what he's thinking of .. it just isn't done ... Most probably because of cost
This is where drones will come in play
This is a PERFECT example of why you say “Say again your last.” And not “Repeat.” When you didn’t understand someone on the radio
Man, I could watch this all day.
“This reminds me of when I was at JRTC” 🤣🤣🤣 Nooooo!

"You good?" ( Slaps ass) Gotta love military humour!
Solid work from these Fisters!
Love these videos. Real war is so different from the movies. You take a few incoming shots, you hide and call in an airstrike or artillery. No one really wants to be the hero in real life.
Don't think Americans would win many battles without the enormous tech advantage thanks to all the expensive toys they have.
Haven't fought a real opponent since WWII.
We’ve advanced far beyond you Stone Age countries.
Havent won since WWII either
4:35 LMAO the solider holding the canvas/covering thing up to avoid getting hot brass in the face/neck.
I remember during Saving Private Ryan, a small mirror was used to view the enemy when pinned. Why today isn't a cameras used (or device created), in this pinned situation, that pops out and the soldiers can look at a screen to view the ememies position without needing to dangerously pop their heads out? The camera can zoom in and the pinpoint position without the risk. Might even automatically give the location coordinates? I am sure there is something like that made.
... You've never heard of UAVs?
Also these guys are taking fire from hundreds of meters away. Tiny cameras like that don't have the resolution or zoom to be useful.
And most of the ducking and covering is more to avoid catching shrapnel from explosives than bullets.
@@T800123 Good answer! I've never served and have watched way too many Sci-Fi movies. In my imagination, I can see one of the guys while taking cover, pull out a small drone and launch it from where they are at using a tablet. Combined with the satellite UAV, I could see that helping to locate the enemy. Question, how does the soldier see the satellite UAV information/locations in this pinned down scenario? Is the UAV using heat along with visual to locate?
Great work lads...... cool, calm and collected. I like the little 40mm thump gun though, it's nice and compact to carry around.
Popping Claymores?
they probably placed claymores and had a detonation trigger for it which they triggered instaed of the enemy triggering it.
We used the hell out of claymores in Nam.. stay safe guys...
@@dotell3359 they are effective!, lots of guys like to plant them at least three deep around their perimeter.
Yeah, I had heard that they just weren't in the inventory anymore. I know they were a mainstay in Vietnam and I trained with them as an 11B in the early 90's....I had just heard that they stopped using the M-18A1 altogether.
@@rickb1973 We used plenty during my 2017-18 tour and this is roughly the same area.
This is one of THE best videos of a firefight
How close were the enemies since they had to use a claymore? I know claymores have a hell of a distance but it would seem that the claymore wouldn't be that far away from our guys as a line of defense.
Claymores are frequently set up in nearby dead space (areas that can't be directly observed) and then are detonated to clear the dead space to ensure that no one was able to sneak in there and lay in wait until everyone is distracted and then attack from that dead space.
Glad to have you back funker.
4:30 last guy on right. Watch front of his helmet. You can see enemy running... Do you agree?
That’s not the enemy. It’s another friendly position
@@LoNGruNer22 You sure? Dude is coming over hill and I don't think they open up that much..

They sound like in an airsoft match. Super calm.
Good young leader right here. No disrespect to y'all about your age. Good shit to see, calm and collected. Freaking out= FUBAR situations, plus it doesn't help you to not get killed. If it's gonna happen, at least you took as many of those turds with you as you can. Your best chance to do that, is to be collected and calm about it. Bravo
Its 101.airborne.they know what they're doing 👍
4:34 theres a taliban on top of hill by the soldiers head
I'm really curious if that was Taliban. If it was, then he was in a perfect position to open fire. I'm curious if he was perhaps another friendly coming back for cover. Because if it was Taliban them he must have not had a gun to shoot with.
@@FullMetal372 Probably friendly. Towards the end you see another unit about 40 meters ahead of their OP. Looks like they're peppered along the side of a hill suppressing the adjacent hills.
Did anyone notice the guy on the ridge line when they were shooting down on the enemy position? No even saw the guy move over the top.
