Ranger Kit from Mogadishu | Black Hawk Down | Rick Lamb Story | Generations of Change
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лис 2020
- 11 November is Veteran's Day. So, we wanted to do something special for our Tactical Rifleman family; and share a small slice of an upcoming video with CSM Rick Lamb, about Generations of Change with gear & weapons. Again, that's a different upcoming video. This clip is from the end of that video, where Rick talks about the Gear that he wore during the Battle of Mogadishu, back in 1993. You all have seen the movie "Black Hawk Down." Rick was there.
CSM Rick Lamb is great American, total badass, and is the guy with the worst/best luck, depending on how you look at each situation. Google "2015 Bull Simons Award" and you'll find just a glimpse into this great man.
Here's the UA-cam Video: • U.S. Special Operation...
I hope you enjoy our video as much as I enjoyed hanging out with Rick.
Strength & Honor, TR

“godammit i just got killed”
hell of a reaction
As my vision faded and the world became pin sized, I yelled, "Germain! They killed us!"- SPC Shelton thinking only to report to his presumed vaporized Sergent the blast, chunks of building and road over taking the HMMWV.
He may have read, studied Thee men of the past/current and totally been copy catting but it was probably an great moment to realize they where alive and only 3 casualties.
Heroes for sure 🇺🇸 I had the pleasure of working with Drew Meyerowich and his account of the battle is very interesting as well..
Thanks Mike.
i dunno. Meyerowich was my BDE commander for a while while i was Drill Sergeanting at Jackson. he told his story about how he saved the Ranger in Mog. every time he told it (cause he told it a LOT) made it sound like he, himself, personally saved all the Rangers. it was a running joke amongst my fellow DSs where we would joke about how COL Meyerowich would fireman's carrying a Ranger whilst dragging 2 Rangers hooked up to a tow strap behind him or some BS like. we would each try to make the story more elaborate and creative as we retold the story.
BUT....in fairness, he was a good commander. he didn't mind the DSs making life hard for the Privates. one day i was CQ and had the soldiers on extra duty "rebuilding clearing barrels" by moving the sandbags from a clearing barrel on one side of the barracks to the clearing barrel on the other side of the barracks, and vice versa. he came by doing leader checks one day, asked why they were doing that. Told him they were on extra duty and they were improving the structure of the clearing barrels. He just smirked, nodded his head, and said "carry on". Respected the hell out of him for that cause most of the commanders we got to the basic training environment were.......weak (to put it in a youtube friendly wording).
One of my SWAT cops was a marine at the embassy security detail during the battle. The Ambassador wouldn’t release the guard detachment to reinforce the rangers during the battle because”if they loose the fight out there, they’ll be coming here next”.
Man that's hard to read. Not a tough decision there Ambassador.
My Sergeant Major in the 3rd ID during OIF 1 was Bob Gallagher. He was a platoon sergeant with Task Force Ranger on the ground in the fight in Somalia.
Best NCO I have ever known.
Shrapnel to the head, bleeding, in the middle of a gunfight, driver injured, 70+ casualties. Still has a guard shift.
A'ight. I'm a head out.
It’s an honor to share this day with you gents RLTW!
Rick Lamb is truly one of the most remarkable, hard, gifted and caring soldiers I ever served with. GIANTS do walk among us. It’s an honor to know him.
RLTW/DOL
Listening to two old vets BS’n will never get old
"I'm an infantryman, you should have left the scar. You should have given my a Sgt Barnes scar." This guy is 100% dude. Men wear their scars proudly as proof of life.
Good god we need more men like this.. makes me ill to see what kids are calling heroes now.
Raise your own right and maybe they will turn into leaders like this some day. That’s the only way to fight it.
Well said..
Plenty of us idolize the same people you do, don't feel downtrodden and think the world is ending.
2nd that
Since when were heroes the ones who invaded other countries and murdered millions of civilians?
What a joke!
I spent my career at 2nd bat Aco , we grew up with the stories from Mogadishu. Every man on that mission are hero’s . Well done . Keep fighting on the the ranger objective
RLTW.
1st and 3rd here, and for sure. Them dudes were gods.

@@ViktoriousDead what years?
Michael Durant was from my home town and I remember him coming to our school (his mom also worked there) and gave his account of the battle. I was in 8th grade but still blown away. You're all heroes as far as I'm concerned.
I'm honored to even be in the presence of these two men, if only by video. Living Heros
Fascinating introduction! CSM Rick Lamb is obviously an intelligent, well articulated, witty man, with a fantastic sense of humor. I had heard about him in the book "Blackhawk Down." You two will make a great team, SGM Erickson.
Thank God for all of our heroic vets. May you all have a blessed Veteran's Day and thank you for your service and the sacrifices of all veterans families.
This was awesome. One of my Drills in the Infantry was a band new Ranger in Mogadishu.
Jesus! This guy is a fucking LEGEND! You yanks make 'em tough! Talks so calmly about it! Max respect from A Brit who served in Desert Storm, now with the Aussies.
Thank you both my brothers for serving...Happy Veteran’s Day!
Karl, Chad and the rest of the Tactical Rifleman family I wanted to wish you all a Blessed Veterans Day. Thank you for your service. commitment, sacrifice and true Patriotism to our nation. A Big Thank You To Your Families as well for they serve and sacrifice for our nation too. You are all truly Citizens of this Great Country. Always remember that we love you guys, just not that much. Carry On!!
Rick was a legend when I knew him in Korea (84-85) and he was an E6 then on his way to SF Q course. Any Ranger I ever spoke to had an amazing story about him when I asked "Did you know Rick Lamb?" He has been there and done that.
I was at 3/75 in the 90s ... My squad leader then, SSgt Hines talked about CSM Lamb... both of them were my idols. RLTW
Thank you for your service.
@@TacticalRifleman and for yours Sir.
I served JSA from 2008 to 2010. And I met him at JSA Veterans meeting in Korea, 2015. He also participated JSA gun fight in 1984. It was honor to met the legendary hero of SOF and had conversation with him. Thank you for your service.
In Front of Them All!
You're both national treasures!
Thank God for men such as you!
Thank you!
God bless!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Loved it - thanks. DOL
It's nice to know that people have been looking for you for over 2 days. Great story from Rick Lamb, and I loved the goodies he brought in for show and tell. Thank you Karl and Rick for your service, glad both of you are still here to tell your stories and teach new people your skills.
He's one brave son of a gun! Sounds like and looks like from his story and his gear that Blackhawk Down was actually pretty realistic!! Happy Veterans day Karl! To you and all who came before and after you, God speed and God bless America!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Complete other breed of human. Much respect. Both of yall. Positive vibes.
God bless him. Thank you both for your service. Glad he is still around to tell his story.
how fucking gnarly of a story is this? holy shit. seeing blackhawk down is one thing. hearing first hand accounts is a whole different ballgame.
thank y’all for your service.
My first year in the Army was in 1993. I was just out of basic when Somalia happened. My first unit was at Ft.Benning. I worked at the ASP. Almost every day I would hang out with Phipps and Floyd. I got to talk to many of the Rangers who were in Somalia. My Ordnance unit just got back from Somalia also. I wish I could have been there that fateful week. When I saw it on TV we all started to push wall lockers in anger. We had to be ordered to stop. I suffer with the guilt of not seeing combat.
He wanted a Barnes scar!! Unreal! Thank you gentlemen!
Thank you for risking your lives to protect our freedom, or to provide it to others. Your selfless acts of valor were done without asking anything in return.
We will ALWAYS honor your sacrifice! Sincerely, SGT E. Andonian
Both you guys are National Treasure!!
Man, this is so cool. After I got in the military, I truly understood their sacrifice. True heroes for sure.
So there was a Kyle Lamb AND a Rick Lamb at Mogadishu in '93! I see, a warrior clan with a misleading name - nice :)
Mannnnn, just read about Rick Lamb the other day. The Legend.
Hot damn, gents -- Happy Veterans Day, God Bless, and God Bless America.
From the sincerest depth of my heart, thank you both (and all you vets reading this) for your service to this country. God bless you all and this country you volunteered to protect and defend. This beers for you!
Rick lamb what an inspiration I'm a UK vet who PTSD Karl and his team and guests truly make me feel that there is a purpose to stay in the fight everytime I see randy he manages to put a smile on my face with his mustache....
Thank you guys for your service
For us, civilians, sometimes it's hard to understand the sacrifice these people made. Most of the veterans I know are good, dependable people and friends for life!
Having written this, I would also like to give a shout out to my grandfather, a WW2 veteran (not with us anymore). He rarely talked about the war, but when he did, the hair on the back of your had will stand up. He was a great man and a role model for me!
Happy Veterans Day and Thank you for your inspiring service, sacrifice and courage 🇺🇸
Damn hardcore mother right there brothers, heroes all around, this man is a beast, he's smart as a whip as well, having worked with and for him was sure an experience!!
CSM Lamb seems exactly like the kind of leader I'd want to go into combat with. Also seems like an all around cool dude too.
Thank you both for your service and sacrifices.
I graduated High School in 93' and remember the Mogadishu fight very well. Over the years I've watched Documentaries about this Operation. Read Howard Wasdin's book where he went more in depth than I've ever read before. Howard was a Seal Team 6 sniper. He tells about how he and Delta elements were imbedded and running some ops in Mogadishu months before the Black Hawk Down incident. I would like to hear more stories about it. Has Lamb wrote a book or talked about leading up to that day? I would like to hear more about his experience there.
Loved that book
@@charlesshelton7989 I did as well. I read his second book, though it was more about after his Military career. I liked the story in the first book about the kid that had a horrific wound they were able to take care of in an unconventional way. Stuff like that needs to be talked about more. A lot of people don't hear stories like that.
The book of Black Hawk Down talks about it some too, but the famous battle started from TF Ranger's seventh mission after deploying in August. The first six generally went okay. The previous operation to the battle is shown at the beginning of the movie, when they do an aerial interdiction of that Somali HVT's vehicle. Something else worth noting is that the DevGru and intel guys were normally operating from a separate location in the city from TF Ranger
@@dkroll92 I remember when Bush Sr' sent in 10K Marines, there was a giant stink because the media was waiting on the beach taking video of the Marines landing. The Military was livid over that.
Huge respect for both of you gents! From Canada 🇨🇦
So few men and hero's like this still exist. Part of the reason I watch this channel... I get to see someone I look up to every time I click tactical rifleman....
What a video. We not only get an overview of a retro kit, but a personal account as well. Rick's initial thoughts on being hit by shrapnel are really interesting. Thank you both.
Amazing. I'm glad we are moving this Nation back to what this gentleman fought for. Thank you for your service.
Much appreciated
That was a great story for Veteran's day. I got a headache instantly when he said, you remember those headaches from wearing the K-pot all day.... yup. I wish I had heard this story will I was still in the Army. I would have shared that with the soldiers bitching about guard duty in AF. :)
Sergeant Major Erickson,
Love that guy!!! Although I was in the Marine Corps, I got to work with him in Djibouti, Africa in Camp Lemonier (back when it was a secret) in response to “9/11” as we got a request to help them while I was on ship (USS BONHOMME RICHARD). Got a photo with him as he told us his story from Mogadishu & showed me his scar across his head. The dude is awesome & loved riding his 4-wheeler to stock us up with drinks out at night in the desert. God bless him & I really hope to cross paths with him again!!!
(3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, Kilo Company, 1st Platoon)
Sergeant “Flo” Flores.
Thanks for sharing and thank you for your service. TR
Watched both Part 1 and Mogadishu and learned from you both. Great presentation. Thank you for your years of service!
Big surprise for you... part-2 comes out tomorrow at Noon EST, Merry Christmas
You are both appreciated beyond words, our family prays for the safety of you soldiers out there all the time. Thank you for your sacrifices for this country and for the people of this country. Keep the combat stories coming brothers!
Now, there's a MAN! God bless you and thank you for your service.
Thank you kindly
I worked for Rick for a short time in 99/2000. A true leader that I tried to emulate throughout the rest of my career.
I wasn't a ranger and I wasn't SF but started as a Tanker and then later a Light Infantryman. Fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. You both were inspiration to me coming through the ranks. Thank you for your service and bravery. There aren't many men made from y'all's cut anymore. THANK YOU!
Thank you for your service. Strength and Honor, TR
Great Video Karl and what an incredible story from the legendary CSM Rick Lamb. Thank God for you both and thank God for America. I was a young PFC in an aviation unit on Oct 3 & 4th 1993. I remember seeing the footage of our fighting men and aviation crewmembers as their bodies were being desecrated on national tv on CNN the day after the battle with my buddies, I was both angered and heart broken, and I still cannot forgive CNN for showing that footage before their family members were notified. Years later I had the honor of being trained by and under the command of LTC Danny McKnight at a training event learning about the lessons gained from Mogadishu. Now I am a high school history teacher here in Texas, one of the few veterans on campus actually. Every year on Oct 3rd & 4th I give a special lesson in my classroom...I am the only teacher who gives this lesson on my high school campus, maybe in my state, or sadly maybe in the country. I go to class in my DCUs, LBE, all my TA-50 kit from '93 & additional gear to complete the lesson. I tell my students the significance of those days, where I was then and then share with them the story of service & sacrifice on those days back in 1993. I teach about the peacekeeping mission, Task Force Ranger, SMUs who were there, the outcomes of that mission, and my later experience with LTC McKnight. They see and feel my emotional response as I share this true story & experience and then with their permission I show them the scene of Gordon and Shughart's MOH sacrifice as depicted in the movie. By the end of the lesson they understand why I interrupted the ancient civilization lesson and more importantly understand the price of service and sacrifice paid by our soldiers and by our nation. Most of my students now as of this year have never heard of these events or that this battle ever happened. Most of them have never even seen or heard of the movie or book. That's when I tell them why I taught them this special lesson and that it is my blessing to have these personal experiences to share with them. I tell them how we as a nation then could have said "No, you handle that on your own, you don't need our help." But we didn't, that's us, that's America. Like you both, I tell them how much of an honor it was for me to have served my adopted country and that now it is my pleasure to teach them, our future generations to never forget the sacrifices that are made everday on their behalf by men like the both of you and all who serve our great country. And that we are a great country! Fewer and fewer of my teaching peers seem to do that nowadays. But not this guy.
Thank you again for a great video Karl, love these specials and love the live streams with Chad. I would love to attend the next TR Tactical pistol/carbine class you have when y'all make it back down to Texas in 2021. Best wishes, hope you had a great Veteran's Day & keep up the great work!
Thanks for your service gentlemen. Happy Veterans day!
Thank you too
Brought a huge smile and watered my eyes a tad. Thank you both for your service and for the personal sacrifices you endured to keep our country safe!
Glad you enjoyed it
The battalion CSM i deployed with in 2011, was the platoon sergeant that roped in off the blackhawks in Mogadishu. Those guys were legends among the Army.
Damn! The stories these guys have! Thanks for your service, both of you. 🇺🇸
Thank you both and very grateful for my freedom and more grateful that you made it
Very heartwarming video, I'm glad you guys reunited!
Outstanding video Karl! Happy Veteran’s Day to you and CSM Lamb. Thank you for your service, gentlemen.
Our pleasure!
THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY!!! and thank you for sharing CSM Lambs story with us on this veterans day!!! remember the ones that didnt make it home on this day also!!!
THANK YOU BOTH! What an amazing story.
Thank you both for your service! Awesome story!
I was a gunship crewmember at Hurlburt Field at the time, we had a couple gunships in Kenya when it went down. We never understood why they didn't QRF them. I ran into a lot of Rangers later on the ground in Cuba (for Haiti). We all shared the same DFAC (chow hall) where we were allowed one hot a day. The Rangers also used to take up every seat in the open air theater on the windward side of Gitmo. We didn't even try to go see a movie on our downtime, too many high and tights. They say it rarely rains on the windward side of the base, that explained the open-air cinema set up. Strange days.
Thank you for your Service. You 2 Men are tough as nails and with balls of steel...Made in America, Hearts of Gold and a Dedication that's unmatched. God Bless You.
Thank you both for your service. Good bless the vets of the USA. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!
Much appreciated
Probably the coolest military video I've ever seen!
Thank you for your service and happy Veterans Day!
I Sincerely thank you from the bottom of my HEART! THANK YOU SO MUCH. love from Gainesville Ga
Anyone who dislikes this video should really rethink their life.
Should take their life, this man almost gave his life so keyboard warriors can have freedom
just gave you a dislike because it makes the youtube algorithm think it's controversial and boosts its visibility... wishing you the best
As of this count, 23 democRATS disliked this video
@@davidcompanion814 who should take their life?
Or are some of the terrorists in Minnesota from Somalia
Incredible story, a real American Hero! Thank you for your service!
Glad you enjoyed it
It still blows my mind that the army had soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan in damn ACUs instead of just leaving them in the chocolate chips that were MADE for the desert
That would make too much sense.
Mack Steal if I remember correctly chocolate chip performed poorly in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan as it was designed against the background of Mexican deserts.
@@kekistanimememan170 That's ACU there's no black in the pattern, they didn't do well in desert environments.
Yup Happy Veterans Day. Best and most real YT channel
Thank you two for your service!
Our pleasure!
Proud to have to worked with you both.
Great video. Our country is blessed to have had the service of both of you guys. And even more blessed to have the two of you still with us, and sharing your experiences and stories! Thank you!
Great video and glad you are still with us to share your stories with us.
Thank you for both of your service. Veteran's day means something. Much appreciated 🙏
Wow...all I can really say. Much respect. I could listen to these guys talk all night. What a badass patriot. Love my country!
My old sgmj was with ranger battalion you all have my respect and always tried to live up to my heroes standards. Young privates out there, always look back at these hard men as an example of excellence and try your hardest to live up to this! Much respect Sgtmj!
I love this stuff. You two are TRUE WARRIORS
Thank you guys for everything you’ve done and still do. And to CSM Lamb, thank you for your service sir. You are greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Happy Veterans day and thanks for sharing much appreciated.
Our pleasure!
PEOPLE WHO ASK HOLLYWOOD STARS FOR THERE AUTOGRAPHS ALWAYS WAS MIND BOGGLING TO ME. THESE TWO MEN HERE ARE THE TRUE STARS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE TO THE BOTH OF YOU HOW GRATEFUL AND APPRECIATIVE I AM FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICES YOU MADE FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. YOUR HEROISM AND BRAVERY DOES NOT AND WILL NOT GO UNNOTICED. 🙏🏻 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
God bless and keep you. Thank you both for your service
Good to see CSM Lamb is doing well. He was the 1/5 SFG CSM for OIF 1, Hell Ya good times. He was also involved in the North Korea incursion into South Korea. Would love to hear his stories on that,
Yep, he's the last American to kill a North Korean
Thank you both for your service and commitment to keeping our nation safe and providing freedom to all of us. Y’all are awesome in my book.
No doubt about it, this guy is a great American, total badass.
Kyle Lamb, another veteran of this battle, goes to the same church I attend. I first ran into him in the mens room at a Christmas service a few years ago. I remember to saying to myself "holy shit thats Kyle Lamb". Them I remembered I was at church and needed to clean up my language....lol
Very nice guy and another hero. Just like these guys.
I’m sure God is a fan of Kyle Lamb too so I think He’d forgive you.
Karl another awesome and badass video, the absulute RESPECT for you and all of the veterans, and the ones curently serving💪💪👍👍keep up the great work
I appreciate that
Bless these two heroes. I got the pleasure of meeting, at the time, Cpt. Jeff Struecker (Chaplain) while on guard duty at a VCP in LSA Anaconda back in 2007. Nicest, most humbled individual I have ever met. Was pretty much star struck when he came up and ask us how our day was.
As long as I have been following this channel, this is one of the most moving and awe inspiring of the true American sprit of our warriors. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
Getting the job done. Thank you guys for putting in the work! Amazing story. Thanks again for your dedication and service for the United States of American.
Our pleasure!
Thank you both for your service. You exemplify what it is to be an American soldier. Huah!
I'm struggling with words right now after watching this. Thank you both, on this Veteran's Day, for serving our great country!
Our pleasure!
