Aye sir.
Outstanding! I can make at least one of these 👍
@@airborneranger1each110 Awesome, hope to see you there.
@@Brent0331 if it'll make ya happy I'm going with a minimum of 14 OD Green MOLLE attachment Pouches on the outside of my OD Green LA Police Gear Original 3 Day MOLLE Pack 4 as minimumlist of an everyday pack as possible that's 4 on the Shoulder Straps 2 on each side, 2 on the Hip Belt 1 on each side, 4 on the sides, 1 on MOLLE/PALS webbing at the bottom, 1 on top front pocket, 1 on bottom front pocket, 2 on MOLLE/PALS webbing in between the front pockets 1 on each side!
I was on 1 Shepard and am I to understand that those are the prices. I mean i saw 250 to 350 not 500 to 1000 right
Easily becoming my favorite military explanation series! Hope to see land nav episode some day.
Thanks brother.
id like to see field coms done?I have a radio but never served in the field since i was in the navy so never had to use personal radios or fire a gun more then qualifying.So green there too.But im ready to fight when i have too! So need more training then i have received. Before covid19 i couldnt afford it and now even if i had the cash for the training i cant train! The Government is doing a great job at shutting us down and forbidding us our rights under the Constitution!!!%
Rule of thumb: Don't follow the LT during Land Nav 😆👍
I would love a land Nav video. I still have all my land nav tools but rarely have the opportunity to practice the skill
One trick with MREs I learned was to field strip the place the items back in the bag the wrap the bag around itself the tape it off. It reduced the build by 50% or more and still leaves you with a bag for “various” purposes.
Appreciate everything you do. I have generous respect for veterans that stay true to sweet liberty even after they leave the military. You sir are no paycheck Patriot.
Smedley Butler told the truth.
Thanks brother.
I just found this channel and it seems to be fundamentally sound combat training. Impressive. A humble suggestion from a veteran. It’s all about the drones. Low cost, quality video images, day or night. Quickly deployed from a backpack for a high in the shy look or a quick treetop peek. There is no substitute for real time intelligence. They that master the drone......will master the field.
Thanks, the Marine Corps is integrating drones into the flight. We have small man portable drones integrated at the squad and Plt level. They're helpful. However, don't fall into the trap that this impressive new technology is the end all be all. We have jammers, man portable ones too (We've been using since the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to block signals for radio detonated IEDs). Drones can and are jammed. One that happens they are nothing more then a rock falling out of the sky. Ifs its something that runs on batteries or radio signal it can fail. In the end, unless a Marine with a rifle occupying the ground, you haven't taken shit from the enemy.
16:30 I totally agree with you. I always tell my men to pack to much food (I still make sure they didn't pack a whole buffet worthy of the whole platoon) because I find that once you are out in the field doing hard work you burn through way more food than you thought.
It's good to get back to the basics
Agreed
Please make video on infantry vehicles and their uses.
Can you do a video on what rangers carry on a one man patrol
Haha is securing gear with little wires is also standard in the US military?
In the IDF we were obsessed with it.
Ha yup same brother. Dont want to be the one that loses serialized gear!
@@Brent0331 Haha we have been scanning fields for a whole night to find a night vision or a scope that someone dropped while walking half asleep at night.
And of course got smoked by the sergents after (that's how you say it? :D )
By the way, we even secure the magazine in the weapon to the weapon itself.
We do that because in long walks you tend to tangle the weapon all over, hug it and lean it on stuff. Sometimes the mag release button is being pressed unnoticed and the mag is being loosed and might fall without you noticed.
As a lefty it happened to a lot because the mag release button is position towards my body on the M4.
Hope you got the idea my friend as English in not my first language :D
Foot inspection!
3:08 But going into battle without a "Delete my browser history" patch is just reckless.
I love this series, hard to find other content like this on youtube
Thanks brother.
Exceptional content.
This dudes squared away.
Appreciate it brother.
World needs more no-nonsense straight to the point people like you Brent. Too much fluff and introduction, just tell me what I need to know.
I feel like I'm back in school with a good teacher that works you hard because they want you to succeed. Love it.
Thanks brother.
Although extremely bad ass and awesome, it is unauthorized. Spoken like a true Texan Marine.
Ha, yup. S/F!
being bad ass is of the upmost tactical importance
*Motor T*
Staff Sarnt: "Yall good?"
Lcpl: "Rah... i brought all i will ever need for this mission."
* continues to point at gear *
Gear: 6 pack of monsters, log of wintergreen, and a speaker.
Staff Sarnt: "Da F* is wrong with you devil?"
That shit had my cackling
Sounds familiar.
Underrated comment
I love these Infantryman's guide videos! I've been out for almost 3 years now but this info is still invaluable.
Andrew Tolbert I’ve been retired since 2004, once this shit gets into your blood, it becomes you🤷♂️😂😂😂
Thanks brother.
Wait a minute, smoking, joking, and playing grab ass is SOP for all joes lol
Ha, agreed, but time and place.
An absolutely invaluable resource. Under your leadership I’m certain that even LCpl Smuckatelli would be squared away.
Thanks brother, he'll learn one day.
Dang Top, I can lose the M-65 liner but I really want my poly pro and grid fleece. 😕
Said nobody... ever!
Ha, that field jacket liner is an outstanding piece of gear. That will remain a main stay in my ruck for the entirety of my life time.
Brent0331 We think alike my brother. 😎👊🏻
@@RedDawn370 My new guys aren't issued liners. They don't understand what they are missing. Warm and light and breathes well.
Real good video I served thirty years in the United States Army almost twenty in the Ranger Regiment.I retired in 2010. I retired a Sergeant Major. I remember as a E-5 squad leader checking the men find it empty canteess. Young soldier idiots. I retired in 2010 . My first deployment was Greneda in 1983 with the 82nd I forget what regiment. We were always busy training or deployed especially after 9/11 9/13 we were there.. To much time away from my Wife and kids. Then the initial invasion of Iraq. Our Battalion jumped into Iraq to take a dam rumor was Saddam was going to open the locks and flood Baghdad. That would have been a two year mess.
We did work with Marines more with Seals. Common goal. ( SUA SPONTE) SEMPER FI
Awesome SgtMaj, thanks for sharing. S/F!
all young soldiers are idiots that e5 should have trained them better.
I would love to see you recreate this video with civil war era kit. 😂
Definitely no going to happen, ha.
@@Brent0331 damn, well i tried 😆
alright, you're gonna need your rifle, uniform, hard tack, and the good book.
"Crushing some souls..." LOL! Love it.
I have seen people cut a toothbrush in half to save weight. 😁 You need to keep an eye on people trimming Ration Packs ensure they don't throw away needed items just to load more of their favourites leading to less than full nutrition over time.
Ha, yup, I had an old CO that came from Recon that would cut his MRE spoon in half as well. Great points made, thanks for watching and commenting.
@@Brent0331 Cut it in half length-wise or cross-wise? Haha. "This half spoon sucks ass for eating soup!"
I'm really loving the content of this channel.
Keep em coming!
Appreciate it.
The one thing that always surprises me is seeing the different operational Styles between two different countries for example in Australia where I am from it is the job of the lance corporal to do all the pre battle checks excluding the radio operator (sig) he's in charge of the radio didn't his responsibility to make sure he has everything to maintain and operate it probably but his personal gear that he will be taking on the mission will be inspected by the lance corporal
Interesting, thanks for your insight. Just out of curiosity, do you guys consider a LCpl a NCO?
@@Brent0331 yes the Lance Corporal is considered a nco he is also the Second in Command of a section and he commands one group of it in a contact situation cheers.
The BRITS love their noumonics for equipment. ( warm pets)

I've trained with the Royal Marines in the UK, they are very professional and very thorough in their orders/mission prep/etc. I participated in the field evolution of their Juniors and Seniors course for their NCOs, it was legit. It was like 48 or 72 hours (I can't remember exactly) of continuous missions, it was crazy. No sleep, just continuous training.
outstanding
Is Sherpastan still at war with Kraplakistan?
😂
Not at war, but constant border disputes with Dirkastan.
Brent0331 😂😂
@Dylan Draper Had to Google that, back in olden times "the 80s" we were always invading, assisting or defending Pinelandia.
This is legit. Exactly how we were taught in the Canadian Army Infantry. Full kit inspection and rehearsals before any patrol. Smuckatelli needs to get hit shit squared away, but his fireteam partner is as guilty as him for not giving him a once over before the final inspection! Lol
How do yall deal with foggy goggles
So I have just realized that this man’s channel name is the mos of the marine machine gunner (0331). Very clever sir, very clever.
Ha yup, that was my original MOS when I was young Devil Dog. Obviously when I first created my UA-cam account I had no idea I would end up having a large YT channel.
My Japanese love pillow disliked this video.
Ha
Very useful! I love the practical application parts, gives some interactivity and testing. Thanks for making great content that is simple and helpful, while egeryone else is shooting watermelons with a new whizbang $3,000 rifle and gucci gear. I'll take knowledge and training over gadgets any day
Thanks brother.
STRYKER DOES NOT APPROVE OF JOHN WAYNE YOUR HELMETS LOL
Negative Ghost Rider, wear it right or not at all.
What is that from?
Man, that was absolutely outstanding! One of the best videos you´ve ever made so far! I´m looking forward to see more of these in the future. Best regards from Germany!
Thanks brother, I appreciate it.
I have all of your videos saved to my playlist so I can use them to teach my Militia battalion exactly how certain situations are handled & carried out!! Great knowledge in these videos!! Most things my battalion already knows firsthand but other lessons are extremely valuable to see them played out on video!!
Thanks brother.
11:32 is very applicable when going out with groups of friends to any place.
-Radio frequencies (cell phone numbers in civilian life)
-No comms situation
-lost man
-casualty evacuation
Outstanding! Mission first. When I was in the Marine Corps Corps it's suprising how much extra non-essential gear guys bring. As you said "pounds equal pain."
Love the vids!! Semper Fi
Thanks, S/F brother.
No nonsense clear concise instructions. Hoorah! This series is great!
Reminds me very much of my SPCs style at TBS 2010.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tactical advice, as always. I learned the hard way from hiking in my EDC and battle rattle to always double check my gear before, during, and after. The opening seconds of this are what I thought of right away from this video's title. The quote is from Sun Tzu. The video is from one of my favorite movies and books: ua-cam.com/video/hbw1pGUhG7Q/v-deo.html
Watch band has been added to the gear to get list, thanks.
8:52 reminds of one of the coolest articles I ever read in a regular magazine (which I normally hate) was in an issue about food. There was an article about the combat rations of various nations. One thing that struck me was the Russian food packaging was all camouflaged to, as if it was a uniform. It was also interesting how much extra meat (almost all beef) the Russian rations had, and how much rice and fish Japanese rations had. Clausewitz was right. I opened and ate a US C-ration from early 1969 one time, everything that wasn't obviously rotten (a bit over half) was still safe, and not bad tasting!
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
RE: chafing and pain.....NO "medicated" gold bond on your junk; feet only
Gold Bond, "Friction Defense" was a game changer for me. A little behind the boys and a touch on the crack, and I'm unstoppable.
As a writer doing military research for a project, I want to cordially thank you. This information is...invaluable.
Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm sure there's a good reason, but I can't think of it, so...I'm curious and I'm asking.
Respectfully, one thing I did not quite understand is the point you made at 3:06 - about the importance of how the enemy perceives you, especially if they're insurgents hiding among civilians. Let me explain:
I've seen Everyday Marksman's videos with you, and you mentioned something similar being the case with civilians. That if you look like a soft target, like you don't know what you're doing, you're gonna attract the attention of potential attackers, because it's the principle of the path of least resistance - why attack someone who looks like a force to be reckoned with, when you can attack someone who looks like they're easy pickings?
It's logical, and it makes perfect sense in a civilian setting, but I don't see how it applies in a military setting.
Pardon me if I sound ignorant, but isn't one of the USMC's jobs to terminate insurgents with extreme prejudice? Like, you're Marines, those are insurgents, enemy combatants, you are enemies, a fight is inevitable and someone is going to die, so why does it matter if they attack one group of Marines (because they look undisciplined, unprofessional and lax) and not another (because those look prepared, professional and focused), when they'll eventually have to fight the professional guys too, since their ultimate goal is to drive the US military from their lands? In fact, wouldn't you want them to attack you by looking less professional and focused than you actually are, causing them to underestimate you?
Especially when I've heard rumors of Russian Spetsnaz in the Middle East doing things to actively threaten, antagonize and provoke lSlS, such as burning Qur'аns and sending them body parts of dead members in boxes, like they're the friggin' Sicilian Mafia.
Basically, sending them the message: "We're here for you and we'll destroy you by any means necessary".
That's my question in a nutshell - if you're there to fight these guys in the first place, why would you want them to avoid attacking you? One possible explanation is that you don't want to be ambushed, but insurgents use guerilla tactics, so if they're ever gonna attack you, this is how they'll do it. With ambushes, dirty tricks and asymmetrical warfare.
P.S. What kind of eyepro is this (at 2:03 - 2:08)?
Thank you for your time, thank you for your service.
4:08 to 4:12 Priceless!
This channel is so informative I'm learning so much thank you for your work getting this info out
Thanks brother.
Great video here Brent! I know about that wet and cold part thanks to mother nature. We had none of the warm layers or gortex when I was in but sure could've used it.
Thanks brother. What years were you in?
@@Brent0331 80 - 84 I was infantry and all we were issued was a poncho and rubber boots like the kind you got when you were a kid that slipped on over your boots. For cold weather we had wool pants and a wool shirt as well as you field jacket and liner poncho liner wool inserts for your leather gloves. I'd kill for the issue the modern military gets.
16:48 Yeah with contact possible with the enemy and a 48 hour PATROL I would love to hear why smuckatelly could think that he would have the time to sit on his combat stool. Does he literally want to be a sitting duck?
If you are doing a multiple day mission for example 5 day, would you have someone take only the food so not every soldier is carrying 10 MRE?
If you spray paint (after scuffing with sandpaper) the wallyword D-rings with a mat color (green, brown, tan or black) they work just as well as the high speed, low drag operator rings.
Yup, there are cheaper alternatives for everything.
lmao I haven't someone say Lance Corporal SMUCKATELLI in a long time haha
There are reusable, roll up water bottles you can buy. Prevents sloshing or having to hump empty bottles.
This is where our host truly shines, instructional videos that are concise, clear, and offers insight you don't find in a book...
Hey Brent, no thumbs down, i think everyone that shows up for class clearly takes it to heart & really respects your leadership skills,.. I really believe that these are the people that would follow into hell & back, & that speaks volumes... Again thank you much for everything you share with us out here, at your expense, tine, & expertise...Again thank you much for another great vid man...
Appreciate it brother.
Learning always and no BS teaching from you. Thank you.
Cold hard facts, keep me warm and breathing.
Awesome! The exercises tou have in the last part make you remember the complete "episode"!Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed.
Leave it to a marine to finally do a great set of instructional videos. How come it is the marines that are always doing more with less?
if you like great instructional videos brought to you by prior Marines, AND outdoor / survival knowledge: you should check out Corporal's Corner channel.
Thanks brother.
@@Brent0331 You deserve it. Thanks again for the great work.
Hey Brent as a young infantryman team leader i appreciate your videos
Glad I could help brother.
Smucateli your running laps when we get back from patrol!!!.......Great video!! Good job Marine!!!💯👍👍👌
“Inspect don’t expect” that’s going in my tool kit.
Anyone here to get some last minute refresher for the inevitable corona outbreak and WROL
So, I am from the Vietnam era Combat. Long-range patrols. You guys lug way too much equipment. Don't they teach you how to live off the land?
It's funny all units have a schmuckatelli. Don't be ONE.
Yup, to be fair though, everyone is a Schmuckatelli when your a boot.
The Lance Corporal... needs a good smokin.
So if we are the insurgency we can wear morale patches right? I want to wear my patch of Elmo fist fucking Miss Piggy while Kermit watches in the background.
Ha
I liked the scenario at the end. Clear, concise and to the point. Big fan of your production videos. I watch them to help me understand my Marine.
Thanks
Peacock pocket warmers are great to stay warm, even with inadequate clothes.
Make sure your things don`t rattle and that your food/snacks can be opened&eaten without sound. It`s very interesting what difference different packaging makes. It`s also a good idea to have food that doesn`t have a problem with heat in your jacket or pants cargo pocket.
I like to have a phonton light on pacebeads ( i use it to count, usually not my steps but things and landmarks) and basic E&E things as well as "emergency ration"(not what you usually buy as such).
In regards to "paper" i like pocketcards with usefull informations and a small calendar with the time when the sun goes up/down as well as the moonphases. Also a civilian phone can be very, very usefull (a cheap one does the trick as long as it`s robust and doesn`t have to be charged often but there can be made a case for a smartphone because of some useful apps, gps photos and videos you can send in real time.
That bring said it all depends on the situation.
It`s very interesting how the rhodesian did things and the syrians do things.
The reason WWII soldiers are seen so often with their helmets unstrapped was because if sufficient HE went off nearby from artillery or a mortar and your helmet was blown off, a strapped helmet could take your head along for the ride. But on patrol where coming under that kind of fire is slim to none, no reason not to strap it.
In the 1960's we never buckled our helmet straps.
Yeah umm no tag in his boot..his pack to me looks good...ohh boy u gonna get in shit for that one half tank of water is an absolute no..no..holy jumpin jessesy..I would definitely reduce his clothing..that just looks way too much for me..that stool can go..
When you've been out of the Infantry for ten years yet still for some reason think you need to remember every aspect of tactical operations at all times.
typical infantryman instruction. straight to the point, brief and clear. excellent videos
Thanks
The canteen top off tip is big. I've been on hunting bow trips where I've gotten close to higs and they heard my canteen swishing behind me and they took off.
Damn
That blows my mind Brent...200 rounds...that's it.....ohh man....I realize that it a basic..but a guy gotta be able to get more..I was expecting at a minimum of 4 to 600..I realize that's their might be a weight problem..but id rather take more ammo..rather than other stuff..I ant no pro solider like but to me..not being able to shoot..just don't make sence..I also realize that most engagements r real fast..I mean u guys still use suppression fire right..that alone gotta eat up ammo..I love this vid..I watched documenrty on Vietnam..slot of Marines would fill every pocket full of ammo.....I'm sure I got it in my play list..awesome vid man..love this kinda stuff..but I just disagree with that 200 rounds..
7 magazines is the "standard combat load", it can go up from there if needed. For instance when I was in Iraq I carried 12. However, when I was in Afghanistan 7 was plenty. Mission, terrain, and enemy TTPs dictate your load out.
Always SQUARED AWAY,,Consimate professional..God bless Brent..Semper Fi
Thanks brother, S/F!
Getting old, I missed the chin strap, D- ring and GOD help me the frag grenade chilling out on his molle.
My old army psg was really big on PCC's and PCI's. And to this day (even though I'm out) I never forget to bring a water source and other essential items.
Luckily my unit's SOP is anime waifu patches
@CAVKING19DELTA TEXAS absolutely. I wear a patch from weapons grade waifus with a naked anime girl covered in splooge that says "Few to the chest, face gets the rest"

Thanks brother, I appreciate it.
Lance Corp Smukatelli. How'd he become a Lance Corp🤣🤣🤣
Time in grade & service. A PFC becomes a LCpl after he's been a PFC for 8 months. There is no PME requirement to pick up the rank. Probably around 50% of the Marine Corps is a LCpl. Corporal is the first major cross roads/hurdle in a Marines career. He can either do the required PME and get promoted, or he can not do it and spend the rest of his enlistment as a LCpl.
In my day it was lance Col. Shcmukatello.
Bravo , United States of America , United States Marine Corps, Brent 0331 , Vanguard of Freedom. Thank you for your service.
Hey y'all, stay tuned to Brent0331, here SOP's consist of Kick-assery and Excellent Intelligence Acquisition!

Smucatelli woulda got the fuck smoked outta him if I was a SGT. Holy fuck I’d have made him push over that damn canteen. Served OIF in 2010 as a COMCAM SPC. with 4 ID. Never made it past E4. I swear if I wasn’t nearly 40 I wish so bad I was younger...
You referred to a "NO COMMS" plan which I assume is a plan to link up if comms can't be reestablished. Can you explain what a "BOSS MAN" plan is that you reference at 11:27? I couldn't find anything on google.

Name one thing better than sitting on your ass in the barracks on a slow day and all of a sudden you got 5 mikes to empty your locker because it EQUIPMENT CHECK TIME BABYY... and it's out side... ye yee
Forgot to, Check Comm's, Test and back roll claymores, replace all batteries with fresh one, helmet band is tied down/dummy corded, chin strap is serviceable, insure that all mags are serviceable an inserted ammo down, any knifes/bayonet are sharp. replace boot laces with 550, dummy cord the canteens, inspect troop top down front to back, Like a JMPI. An CHECK Comm's. Then run a sand table passage of friendly lines w/all the who, what, when, where, w/phase lines, rally points, return to friendly linew/all the who, what, when, where , then a back brief, go over with your escort through friendly lines, all the who, what, when, where again. Whoops TMI, but I'll leave it anyway.
Excellent vids. No frills Leaders Guide. 25 Yr Infantry Vet speaking. Recommend this to ANY combat Leader time spent on the revision of basic skills is never wasted.
4:07 This actually explains a TON about military humor. I think I've noticed that military personal can be very funny, and like dark humor, but they often deliver jokes with no humorous intonation. I bet it's a good way to be funny without breaking your combat mindset. Occasional jokes are probably healthy, especially when you're under so much stress, but letting them distract you could get you killed.
These videos are golden ! I am a civilian but I often go alone in the mountains and discipline and a systemic approach as shown here are key to never being unprepared.Awesome content !
Love the video's keep em coming godbless the U.S.A and thanks for ur services men.... 🇺🇸
Awesome video. Love the content! Will Sherpastan ever NOT be at war?
Its a failed state and in constant border disputes with Dirkastan.
Anyone have experience in how this compares to other militaries of varying sorts? I'm especially interested in how this compares to the YPG and SDF
Nicely done Devil Dog. Now, tell Smuckatelly to drop the rest of that shit he don't need either and get down to an Army Cavalry Scout loadout for that 24 HR LRRP.
Hell ya get rid of those round patches not only does it make one look like a tool. But shows individualism, a no go for me. Can not win hearts and minds. At least two of my opinions. But what do I know? I had another opinion; which involves the D-Ring carabiners left behind empty. My thought was there was a bag of 🖍️s on it and unbeknownst to me my battle buddy took them. It was always my excuse.
Gunny, 23+ Years as an Infantryman here in Ireland.A bit confused.If you are carrying a sustainment load in a Patrol Pack then what do you use once you drop your pack in the Patrol Harbour and have to deploy from there on say an ambush or a Listening post for example? Here we would patrol/insert into a patrol harbour with our large Packs and then drop them and pull out our Patrol packs which would just contain Mission essential kit and a warm top and waterproof layer. Do ye have a different way of operating? Just curious how other troops do things.
I remember back-in-the-day. all Alice packs were packed the same, whatever was in the center exterior pouch on my pack was the same item in everyone's center pouch. And everybody was packed the same on the inside from bottom the top. The rule was that if someone was KIA or wounded, we would strip them of gear before loading them on the medivac...

"God forbid we don't want that to fall into the enemy's hand"
As of Sep 2021, Afghanistan would like to disagree.
The inspection was right on. Depending upon the timing, face camo might already be on. Thanks for the video. S/Fi and happy birthday.
