There are two other good British films on this topic, one is House to House fighting made during WW2, and Urban Patrolling made during Northern Ireland Troubles, there is also an American film from the Korean War called "Reinforced Rifle Platoon In the Attack of A Built Up Area".
@@SecurityGuy42 Here's all 3 of them: ua-cam.com/video/T85pHsSu6r8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/YCAi56-ngxQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/IN56gljWEc4/v-deo.html It appears that the Brit patrolling and the American film are just one section of a larger unreleased series.
@@SecurityGuy42 One thing to keep in mind about these old British films, is that until the 80s they didn't fully embrace fireteams as we today understand them, they instead had 1 Squad leader who directed 6 riflemen being one half of the squad, and the other half being the 2IC, a machine gunner and his assistant being the other, experienced squads with the permission of the Company Commander, were authorized to have 1 leader with two 3 man rifle teams and one 3 man gun group (special forces like SSB Commandos and presumably SAS had this set up by default), some Commonwealth units especially the Australian Army, had a two man scout team for travelling overwatch (the US had them as well during that time period). They also walked with the squad/section all together in one large formation (imagine the arrowhead for instance as one 10 man wedge instead of two 4 man ones), because they only had one SAW (which was a medium machine gun by today's standards) until the late 20th century, and according to their 1960 platoon regulations the "spearhead" (their term for the modern US split wedge at the time) left the rifle team at the front with a poor base of fire. So hopefully this clears up some confusion, and I think it's an interesting topic on it's own, how armies can in radically different ways, organize their squad structure and tactics down to levels as basic and fundamental as team formations based on the abilities of their troops (British sections for instance had a simplified organization due to consisting largely of hastily trained teenagers, whereas the Australian Army had a lot of middle aged men who fought the Japanese) and the equipment they use (one medium SAW per section with no weapons squad, vs one light SAW per fireteam with 2 medium ones in a weapons squad).
Sadly the current Royal Army is a shadow of it's former self. There is no way they can do a defense like this anymore. Too many budget cuts and troop reductions.
@@SecurityGuy42 And Britain along with it's former colonies have become reduced to woke nanny states (believe it or not, you used to be able to own a semi auto rifles and handguns in the UK, a far cry from now where their government wanted to kill everyone's pet cats over over you know what), which has resulted in low morale and lack of patriotism. In Australia (where I'm from) our feminist DoD has been caught in a scandal a few years ago when they were trying to stop men from joining the military by delaying, rescheduling and pausing male applications, they couldn't do an outright ban because it's illegal so they went with "all can apply, but only women can get the job" (which is even more horrific when one takes into consideration that entry into our military is highly competitive to start of with). look it up if you have a hard time believing me. Our police forces have done the same thing even going as far as hiring women with serious disqualifying mental health issues. Hilariously enough, it appears that Canada despite also being a shadow of their former selves, seem to be doing not to bad compared to it's father and brother countries.
Originally called Fibia fighting built-up areas then change to Oibia operating in built-up areas for Afghan it was getting called fish fighting in someone’s house I believe it’s a totally new word for it now

Love these old films
Indeed in my day the ads referred to our army as The Professionals.
Know the tactics your team requires.
Know the tactics of your enemy also.
Nice! Retro gold.
loved that light camo
That “light camo” was the sign of an old sweat…..much washed and scrubbed combats.
I think that’s the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment!
When will people realise that it is NOT The British Royal Army. It is NOT the UK Royal Army. IT IS PURELY "THE BRITISH ARMY".
I dunno, to me it will always be the Royal Army
I thought because Cromwell formed the Army it was not Royal
Sharpen chainsaw...got it.
15:31 "dont worry lads this gassy substance will stop lead bullets!"
Question what regt/corps was it i don't think we had U.K. royal army training film
Unlike the RAF and Royal Navy, The British Army is not Royal, by the way.
Ol britts could throw down 👏🏻

What's the UK Royal Army?
How much has the language changed?
Cheerio
WOW! A 66 taking out a T62! Who knew?😂
Time for FISH and CHIPS
I thought we called this FIBUA……we were inclusive and didn’t differentiate between towns, villages or cities……

It was as if the Soviet airforce didn't exist 🤣
NATO would have air superiority in a third world war.
