- On this episode, Mike Glover is joined by @GBRSGroup who are career Naval Special Warfare guys. In the video, they discuss "The Peel" - what it is, how it's done, and its application in the real world.
Our initial impression is that the gun shoots super flat... but we've heard many say that comped guns are terrible for self-defense because they blow gas and brass towards your face. Does it? Watch the video and find out.

the fact that we have the ability to listen to dudes who just came back from 20 years of war and most of their careers being special operations tier 1 and tier 2 operators, teach us about all of their experiences and lessons they learned overseas is absolutely unreal and i dont think people quite get how valuable this info is
this is as real as it gets, we truly are spoiled big time
Yeah 20 years and lose to a country without missiles...kinda sad....we lost once again....you think we will win a ww3? What you think? Just curious?
@@brandonl9608 defeating a well-organized resistance/insurgency who uses guerilla warfare tactics comes down to a lot more than who has missiles. We could have spent all the money in the world fighting the Taliban but unless we wiped the country off the map with bombs we weren't going to beat them. You're seeing a similar situation unfold in Ukraine. And to answer your question nobody will win ww3.
@@hogsandstews obviously no one will win ww3 and that's actually total bullshit we could have won but unfortunately politicians think they know what's best after starting a war they fuck it up to our country is falling apart Biden is helping the cause and other countries who hate us are taking advantage look for yourself north Korea even started their missile program again Putin saw weakness and took advantage and idc what you think china is helping both
@@brandonl9608 okay relax guy u asked my opinion I answered
I like that Mike can make these guys laugh. Funny to see DJ try to hold back a laugh after whatever goofy thing Mike says
If you know what sound a seal makes you know why these guys don't laugh
“We were invading Iraq.” Lol
Glad to see Cole finally settle down a bit and let Mike and DJ get a few words in.
Lmao
Haha he definitely can’t get a word in!
That just makes him an even bigger more mythical stone cold killer. He’s a man of few words and you can tell DJ is a born communicator. He’s a natural behind a camera.
Haha
lmao
Mike Glover is such a humble guy and silent professional.
Not only was he a green beret, he was in a tier 1 smu, yet he only refers to himself as a green beret.
He wasn’t an operator. He went through selection for a reconnaissance element of the smu. Not delta selection and not the operator training course (OTC). They are different pipelines.
@@anjewblacks3343 Thanks for clearing that up, still impressive though. 👍
Just recently finished listening to DJ on SRS…still in shock from the raw content. Love coming to the Fieldcraft channel to learn new stuff. Good shit guys!
Seat Ryan Show for those wondering what SRS is. Definitely recommend giving it a listen as well
Knowledge transfer at it's finest
My words exactly. Literally said the same thing in my comment lol
#1 “Set”
#2 “Moving”
#1 “Move”
#2 “I’m up, they see me, I’m down.”
Basic small unit tactics in the Marine Corps that are the fundamentals you carry through the highest of training. Awesome video
Mike has said it a few times, fundamentals apply to everything, its just the situation and enviroment that makes it advanced
@2:00 "FM 7-8" my man just recited scripture like a god damn preacher. PREACH SON
It is called the Aussie peel back and was adopted in the jungles of Papua New Guinea WW2 where small groups of Aussies would come in to contact with larger Japanese forces, Aussies would do this and retreat further back and sometimes set up ambushes.
Was used a lot more in Vietnam war.
Remember now Aussie SASR taught navy seals in Vietnam and MACV GROM . Special Z Force WW2 and Sparrow Force are known as most successful special forces of WW2.
Pretty sure was developed along Kokoda track when Aussies did the tactic of retreat and attack while retreating to bring the Japanese further on to our side to extend their supplies too long to keep up while fighting..
These guys are on a level that most people can not even think about, let alone understand. Always great to see the GBRS guys and mike together. Great content as usual guys!
Since I've been subscribed, never realized just how much our training could be helpful.. to civilians..the things we take for granted as experience. Being used for education, and preparedness.. Great foresight...great instruction...
Nietzsche, the German savant philosopher, would give big accolades to these warrior gentlemen. As Nietzsche wrote, in the battlefield of life, "that which does not destroy you only makes you stronger." Bravo. New US subscriber.
Damn, not sure how part 2 would go but drone footage would be perfect for teaching lessons like these.
Thanks Mike for taking the time learn a different way to execute the peel. Also for being humble enough to take the role of student. Most question asked are geared toward clarification for audience members that have limited to no experience with small unit tactics.
BTW nice opsec disclaimer.
It's been a standard movement in the Canadian Infantry for decades. It can be used in several formations.
Same for the plain ol us infantry. Still, I’m happy to see it taught by experts.
Yea banana peal or dog leg around same shit
Been in Australian military since WW2 where we adopted it in tight jungles fighting the Japanese. mostly called the Australian peel or Aussie peel.
Used again in Vietnam and taught to every Australian vet ever since.
I saw this tactic for the first time during training (LE SWAT) in 1991 at LASD SEB Training center near the bus, down from the "Smith house". A full platoon from ST#1 did this at night with M60s. It was absolutely the coolest thing I've ever seen live fire...ever! We were watching with our mouths open...
Been in Australian military since WW2 we adopted it in the thick jungles fighting the Japanese. small groups of Aussies would come in to contact with Japanese superior forces and would do this tactic and retreat further back, then set a ambush.
Mastered it in Vietnam by SASR and taught to Navy seals and MACV GROM.
Is named by most militaries as the Aussie peelback.
We were taught this in the Australian Army infantry school(Singleton)in the mid 80's most of the instructors were Vietnam veterans, it's a very effective way to break contact, after my time in the military I contracted my services to a Afrikan nation as a "military adviser " when I showed them this technique not only were they impressed by this technique they introduced into their Infantry training.
TWO MG/GBRS videos in ONE DAY!?!? Knowledge transfer at its best
Thank you Mike for making training and educational videos with GBRS. This is highest quality content on youtube right now!
This is what we’ve all been waiting for!
Facts
When I was a kid I read books. Dick marcinko or whatever his name was. Many others. Simply being able to watch and listen to these dudes talk is amazing to me. Kids today have so much info at their finger tips and can easily decide what field or profession they’re looking at.
Thanks boys for the videos
We are lucky for these type of Warriors generosity
During a rotation through NTC in 2009 I was sent with a group of 11C to take a E&E course. As we were moving to one of our points over open rocky terrain I noticed one of the OPFOR trailing us.
I called out the contact, took a knee, and started firing, as the others began firing I got up and rushed past them starting an impromptu peel which everyone else picked up.
Later, the instructor told us it was the first time he's ever seen it used by a group.
he wasnt a good instructor if its the 1st time he sees it or you lying
@@GGman2019 not true. Literally no one in the Army does the peel (without getting made fun of). It screams “cool guy”, and accomplishes little else.
If you’re going to break contact, do it. If you’re going to execute a bold flanking maneuver, do it. The peel is a half-ass version of both.
@@GGman2019😂 here for the comments lolo
Thanks for listening to the people asking for more colabs with GBRS. This is where it's at
You guys get together and it's phenomenal every time the amount of experience just blows everybody out the water I mean look at the comments ......... take it easy guys
As a basic marine who never worked with navy seals, it’s interesting how much better I understand the way gbrs teaches and communicates more than instructors that were Army.
So good. So simple, cover and move. Cover and move. Simplicity is genius.
This content is absolutely amazing. Explanations at the highest level hit completely different from someone yelling down your throat.
I'm thankful you guys are doing so much content together.
I learnt the Aussie Peel Back in the Canadian Army years ago, a very effective drill when done correctly.
0:17 that guy got barrel swept BAD!
These guys are awesome! May God continue to bless their endeavors. I’ve really enjoyed watching them grow their channel over at GBRS. If you haven’t seen the Shawn Ray show, I suggest go over and watch Dj interview, what a true warrior and special dude he is! His story is by far one the best on the show! Much respect to all three men on this video! Semper Fi!!
The aussie peel back was taught in my basic training in the CAF. Was an awesome maneuver to learn.
Very applicable in law enforcement. USBP southern border in the rugged terrain can ABSOLUTELY benefit from this tactic when taking fire from bad guys. Keep doing it fellas!
Love these videos. You guys are perfect together. Keep em comin’.
Its called the tunnel of love in Australia and used as a break contact drill for small recon and SF teams in a rural environment.
This is a standard break contact drill that your regular infantry section will use, depending on your patrol formation and terrain, its not a drill that only Recon and SF personnel use the entirety of the infantry corps uses this, the tunnel of love is different albeit similar in regards to peeling off in the direction to the rear of the patrol.
@@AtlasAU5 I know you’re not talking about the United States Army, right?
@@clamhammer4277 I'm not, I've got no experience with US IMT's, speaking from my own as a 13 year vet in Australia
@@AtlasAU5 Fair enough. I’ve worked with y’all on a handful of occasions, all great experiences. Speaking only for the US Army, in 15 years I’ve never seen an Infantry unit (of any size) legitimately use the peel. When I was a junior team leader we played around with it, but it never stuck.
@@clamhammer4277 they serve specific purposes for us, which I assume the OP was referencing, just adding clarification to further expand what he was saying as its not a recon/SF only thing for us, its taught to basic light infantry. In saying that though it's all dictated by situation/terrain as to how its used/if at all
Man this stuff is gold. As a POG Marine I’m all ears for this stuff. These guys are top tier and know what they are teaching. Excellent stuff here.
Now that's what I call poetry in motion!
Freaking awesome stuff and the views out there are spectacular. Love Fieldcraft and GBRS together. Appreciate all these GREAT informative videos!
Us viewers are being spoiled with these vids. Thank you GBRS and Fieldcraft !!!
You guys together is both funny, watching rag on each other as well as yourselves, and the transfer is always awesome thanks to all of you.
Fieldcraft x GBRS videos are the best thing on UA-cam at the moment
Love these videos, and glad to hear you make the point about why civilians need this training. I hope you make more of these.
Learned the Australia Peel at Marine Officer Basic 40 years ago from grunts who'd used it in Vietnam. It was the way to retrograde back down a narrow trail away from an overwhelming enemy contact / enemy attack (ambush). Patrol leader orders the Australian Peel...then, Point man (guy closest to the enemy) emptied his mag for suppression then he would di-di-mau - run like the wind/leaving to take up the tail end charlie position. The the guy who was then point would rock-'n'-roll his suppressing fire - emptying his mag then doing his best di-di-mau. That would continue until the patrol had successfully broken contact.
Great infovid. Keep up the good work Mike! I like how you gather info from other experts outside your army training. It reminds me of the great legend Bruce Lee and his philosophy of Jeet Kun Do. Question everything and use what is the most efficient and effective.
Yes! More! Thank you
Great stuff thanks so much y'all. Gonna have to get together with my buddies and work on this before our society collapses
Damn I haven't heard "I'm up, he sees me, I'm down" in a loooooong time!
One very cool piece of training that I saw was in the Making of Lone Survivor, when Marcus and his buddies were training the actors, they had Simunitions and it looked like this tactic. They had Seals dressed as Taliban, for the visual shock. The actors were unaware that the Taliban were coming. I'm a former deputy sheriff, and I've done Simunitions. You get jacked up. I can't imagine what they felt like when a real bad guy showed up to fight.
Infantry Minor Tactics...I miss the days...Love your work fellas...
Outstanding work gents.
This was one of my favorite movement drills
Stoked to hear some woodland knowledge from these guys
Love you guys! Thanks.
The Australian Peel was a standard part of SF ODA immediate action drills during the 70s and 80s.
i think it goes back to VietNam. These were part of standard small unit tactics immediate action drills for conventional infantry fleet instruction. Details for unplanned contact front is discussed in both FMF Dismounted Patrolling, and the Ranger Handbook.
@@BattleGn0me I expect you are correct. I find it odd to see someone with an SF background not familiar with it.
I had the privilege to work for Tiger Swan, and Oak Grove as OPFOR for the SUT class out on mccall....I learned a SHIT load.
Mikes level of sarcasm is undefeated
Im a simple man I see FCS and Gbrs in title I click the video.
get. part. 2. up.
you guys have great chem. like you both indy, and in these joint ops. keep um coming. much all of that,
Loving this content! Please put out more of this, thank you Mike!👍
You use a peel if you encounter direct contact to your 12 o"clock. We practiced this technique during ARS in the Marine Corps. Usually a recon patrol is in a single line formation. if you encounter direct contact , first man gives command and shoots full mag and breaks left and goes to rear of column. Next man throws frag or dumps a full mag and breaks right to rear of column. This is repeated until team has broken contact with the enemy and can rebound back to last rally point. We did this when you guys were toddlers. Haha.
Bad ass!!! I love these demonstrations
Good to know! Thanks!
You guys are outstanding
Absolute respect and appreciation for all the knowledge drop🇨🇦
Excellent analysis, thanks
Army calls it “leap frog” it can be used offensively and falling back also, it can be used for a different size formations.
..or ‘bounding’..more semantics.
NAVY SEALS ALWAYS MAKE COMMON INFANTRY TACTICS EXTRA SPECIAL? IN THE USMC WE DO IT IN SMALL FOUR OR FIVE MAN TEAMS, OR AS PLATOONS, OR EVEN A COMPANY SIZE? ITS NOTHING SUPER SECRET OR SPECIAL?
@@daleocallaghan6228 Roger , it’s basic infantry maneuver… that’s all nothing too fancy about it.
Peeling isn’t leap frogging.
Shoot, Move, Communicate... and most importantly Vlog, Podcast, Market, Market, Market!
Can't wait to see some examples next vid
Yes!! This is such awesome content! Thanks Mike!
In 1985 my SL an SF soldier taught our “ regular infantry squad” a “ banana peel” to break contact. We were not high speed or elite. However…this SF soldier trained us to be far more effective than the other squads in my unit.
So excited for part two
Bro I watched Lone Survivor! I got the peel down. My only problem is getting my Pitbull to hold his position until I move. Sucks not having my own fireteam.
Apbt is the best
But once he gets it down, man.... Talk about intimidation factor 😂
My fire and Maneuver video is dedicated to you guys and real terrorist were harmed in the making of that film.
from an 11 Bravo and a 92 Golf You guys rock!
Omg this is the best of my life 🔥🔥🔥. Thank you for all the information, training and tactics that u give us. We apreciate all of you
In 1987 I was taught this during Basic training Infantry, nothing new, linear peel is for ambush left, right or front in a confined space like jungle or elephant type grass. Liner peel from a section in advance to contact can be peel left or right. Otherwise it is either leap frog or caterpillar backward out of the killing area if you cant peel plus as much smoke as you can. Create space.
33 years service. 12 tours
We where taught this Australian Peel way back in 1978 while I was in 3rd Recon Bn. USMC. Okinawa.
We called it the Banana Peel. Lead Scout makes contact yells contact, front, right or left, does a mag dump and peels out and back while reloading. Third man pulls a pre-set Claymore off the top of the ruck of second man as second man does a mag dump and peels back, third man sets claymore dumps mag and peels back taking the claymore detonator with him to the length of the wire as fourth man dumps mag. Third man detonates the claymore and the team keeps peeling. Dumping mags and throwing magazines.
LRRPD, Ranger Battalion and Infantry utilized the Banana Peel. We called it that because we peeled outside the next man.
A side note; I just heard you say the I’m up here sees my I’m down. Anyone wanting to get in shape find an open field, and do that contact drill, start at one end of the field, rush forward on honking to yourself I’m up he sees me I’m down, then immediately drop down, go ahead for this and do five pushups, roll right or left jump up and bound forward again thinking I’m up he sees me I’m down. You’ll be winded very quickly but that’s a training regiment we did about every other day for PT. Also casualty carry under duress/fire, bounding forward on assault is vital, and you better be in shape. Al because you’ll have about 70lbs kit on you, a lot of that better be ammunition too! My grandfather was an Army Infantryman I’m WWII and before I went to war he told me to carry as much ammunition as I could and still be able to fire and maneuver, to me or any Infantry Type that means bounding forward in assault just as I mentioned. Now you do that drill exactly as fast as you say it in your head, I’m up he sees me I’m down.
Anyway, the Peel is a real drill for breaking contact. However it may be used as a rouse to break contact but utilize some terrain you passed to set ambush or flank, battle is ever changing so it’s a thinking man’s game, a man honking man who lives for this lifestyle because we know not everyone is meant for it.
Great video! Great speaking voice by the way!! I wish you success in training those who need it to save lives!

I enjoyed the TTP disclaimer.
That's Awesome, cant wait for more
All these guys r badasses.... love it!
Gonna need that part 2 soon👌🏻
Thanks Mike. Great info.
Was at the range the other day & a guy saw the self adhesive tape on my vertical grip & said "Oh you're one of those GBRS guys🤣🍻
explain the tape thing please
Excellent stuff gents... excellent
Thank y'all.
This is some seriously good information. Please keep this going.....
It also highlights that small units are not designed for force on force. If they take casualties and get bogged down they generally call Rangers for combat support
Cole's AR looks godlike.
Good stuff.
One of my infantry teams used the peel when we had A QRF mission
Picking up what your putting down. I’m in corrections and people don’t understand we use chase teams, building entry, CQB add the fact that there are gangs on the outside trying to break people out of prison during transport. It’s not the movies where we’re the bad guys all the time. We have the obligation to protect prisoners and the public.
Love these takes!
Gold Jerry!, Gold... Great stuff.
First time I’ve heard anyone mention damneck other than from my son.
Glad I actually know what that is.
Great info for us civilians. Thanks for putting it together.
This is dream content... Looking forward to seeing Part Two.
Hey nan, love your channel too.
World patriots, join and rise up.
From Spain.
Great learning video. Peace
"The Peel" used to be called "Leap Froggin'" back in the day....a Vietnam or earlier break contact technique...sometimes using either smoke, CS or WP. "Tail End" might plant a Claymore as a misdirection technique.
Man you guys are such a solid squad! 🙌🏾🔥
