as a german non soldier there are only 2 countries i would go to war to protect: austria and the netherlands
Glad it's not against us this time😂😉
As Dutch I have to say for me it’s only Netherlands and America. Thanks to your confidence in us though
Also I’m neither in the military (for now)
As dutch id go to war for all neighbouring countries, america mehh
@@DLR_SC edit: Why the usa? The usa is not so close to the netherlands from the american point of view. In 26 years, a us president has visited the netherlands only 2 times. But i respect your opinion, i am just curious
My husband was a grunt in Vietnam. After the. TET in 68, he was sent to Panama to train with the Dutch Marines. Most of the Americans were impressed with the Dutch Marines.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing
To become a Dutch Marine is not easy.
Every week there is a selection. 80 boys get a medical, physical and psychological check. This takes 3 days.
Only 2 sometimes 3 from 80 are selected to go to Rotterdam for basic training. The rest can go home or to regular army.
Then after 7 months from 150 marines only round 60 will end up as a Marine.
Dutch marines never serve as a cook, or pilot, or in office this is navy task.
They all get special forces training, cold weather in Norway, mountains in Schotland, Amazon Forrest..
Qua patet Orbis is our spell.
From land, air and see, every where in the world 🌎
@@CombatArmsChannel Dutch Marines are different than American Marines. The term 'Marines' makes it a bit vague, but basically Dutch Marines are Special Forces, who train a lot with other special forces units.
@EL-DiAbLo there where no Marines in Srebrenica and in Afghanistan they did not run.
The decision to leave Afghanistan is never a decision of a Marine.
And has nothing to do with losses, or defeat’s.
You make your versions as every devil does ..
if your real name is Igor you probably don’t know the meaning of EL-Diablo 🤡
@EL-DiAbLo Your comment shows that you did not read or follow anything during the tribunal's 6600-page report. Failing intelligence agencies and lack of UN air support have been contributing to this terrible suffering.
I was in the Dutch military for 13 years of witch 9 as an infantryman. I know a few guys who went to England to train Ukrainians. They also said they were extremely motivated, absorbed al the info they got presented. The guys giving training in the video are from a light infantry regiment.
I work for the Dutch military (as a civilian) at a department where we develop new training methods, and seeing these video's always makes me proud of my work
For those who believe that the dutch cannot fight: Read about the Lost Battalion..The forgotten War. In the Korean War they received the US Presidential Unit Citation from the president of the Us. It was the only battalion that received that twice. The were left behind as a plug to slow down the chinese advance and by dying given te U.S. troops time to escape, regroup and holding the line. They did not surrender and thought to be all killed, but those who survived fought their way back one by one against all odds.
The idea of smal very wel trained and all sharpshooters goes back to the Boerenoorlog where the dutch slaughtered a lot British forces with small stack units (Kommando).
a ye the dutch that lost in a few days in ww2 cause of poor guns and lack of ammu, the army isnt that well trained as they claim... words from a ex commando
@@brucemourad7390 what about the 80 year war with spain? they tried for 80 years but never won. its not the blame of the military though. our country politicians just like to sell us out
@@brucemourad7390 Playing video games doesn't make you an ex-commando. Apart from that it's pretty obvious that you feel the urge to put the Dutch down. Although that is your personal issue and does not reflect the factual situation.
@@brucemourad7390 would've lasted longer if we didn't get bombarded to shit, how is a country 20x smaller than it's neighbouring invading country gonna last without any air defence? the marines weren't giving the germans even an inch in Rotterdam till they were forced to capitulate, even after we lost our country the surviving soldiers of our army that made it into britain kept fighting in the war and never gave up
@@gerhardjanssen6822 German only lost cause of the 4+ million died at russia, stalingrad etc, if germans didnt invade russia, they would have won. just like ukraine now gonna lost against russia :) as you said, little ass countrys.
Operation INTERFLEX - This is a UK initiative to train tens of thousands of personnel for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Program: basics of infantry soldiering in a five week course. UK invited the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) group to help scaling up training for large numbers of Ukrainian recruits. Response from the rest of the group to provide instructors has been enormous. All JEF member states cooperate and use several UK training sites. Training of AFU recruits is conducted by the whole group, including: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK. - Canada and New Zealand also participate with instructors in the UK. Formally, that isn’t part of Operation INTERFLEX, but Operation UNIFIER, with a different program (artillery 105 mm field gun operation, and more), if I'm not mistaken. - Australia will help with their instructors from January 2023. - Later, selected AFU soldiers also return from the front to the UK, for a Junior Leadership Course over several weeks. - Last, but not at least, AFU will get MBT training (Leopard 2) in Poland, very soon, according to Ukraine’s Defence Minister Reznikov. - (This is not an exhaustive list)
USA - The US Department of Defense recently announced that they would be expanding their training of AFU personnel in January (2023). The new training program, conducted by the US Army at bases in Germany and Poland, will aim to train 500 Ukrainians per month giving them instruction on combined arms operations and tactics from the squad to the battalion level. US European Command spokesperson: "Since the U.S. started to provide security assistance to support Ukraine in defense of their nation, the United States has trained approximately 3,100 members of the AFU" (incl. artillery: 870 AFU gunners on M777 and M119 howitzers, 310 AFU gunners on M109, uknown numbers on HIMARS ...while M270 MLRS and M118 training was conducted by UK/NZ/CA). Public info as of December 2022.
EU Mission EUMAM - The new EUMAM Ukraine European Union training mission for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), has reached full operational readiness. The mission is already working (first training already started in Poland in November 2022), the mission will teach at least 15,000 AFU personnel. It will cost EUR 100 million from the EU budget, an additional EUR 16 million will be spent on equipment for EUMAM. 20 EU countries participate in the mission, and training is spread out at locations in many countries. This is the biggest military mission the EU has ever built for any of its partners.
EFTA contribution - “In addition, non-EU Norway will provide EUR 50 million to support the EUMAM mission”, according to Josep Borrell, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in EU, on 3 December 2022. Norway is one of the four EFTA countries, and will also host training (now in Norway, previously at INTERFLEX sites in UK) from 2023.
Nz still supply instructors I think
Yep, Australia has just sent a contingent to the UK with the intentions on training Ukrainians. It seems that every 1st world country other than the US is doing more than sending supplies......but than again there's no oil in Ukraine so why would the US get involved! It's just funny how the US claim to be the protectors of peace and human rights and don't care about getting involved in this conflict despite the human rights violations being committed by both sides (I believe Ukraine has committed some war crimes but that's word of mouth so I can't stand by that but I also can't look past it!)
I like the Dutch. They are basically brits with a limited sense of humour.
The translators are generally ukrainian women.
Translating foreigners speaking English to ukrainian. Bloody impressive international cooperation.
Appreciate the additional info, Thanks man👍🏾
Brits and Dutch are biologically related along time back
Dutch Marines are not like US Marines but more in line with British Royal Marine Commandos. The Dutch military in general is more akin to the British system with our special forces being more like SBS and SAS (Marsof and KCT respectively for the Netherlands).
To give you an idea of the training requirements of Dutch Marines: last time I checked there is still no female Marines as non passed the training. I think some got relatively far but dropped out eventually and also men have to be extreme god shape prior to joining I order to succeed.
No marines involved inthis vid.
for the record as mike said- the dudes shown here, are NOT marines. they are army light infantry (if memory serves me well) 17th light inf.
It’s very cool that the whole world helps to train our soldiers. We will never forget it, as Ukrainian I will always remember how world helps us. Thank you all
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
You folks are reminding us in America and the West what true patriotism and the struggle for freedom against tyranny looks like, and how important it is.
Wish we could do more my friend.
@@robinpage2730 first of yes, glory to Ukraine. Also I would call it fun fact in peace times but fact on the side: In the Dutch anthem there’s a verse basically saying “beaten the tyranny”.
Slava Ukraine- the West is behind you! Thankyou for your resistance to dictator Russia
Slava Ukraini. Much strength and love from The Netherlands. You WILL beat Putler and his fascist henchmen. Heroyam Slava!!!
I can clear some things out, since I have served in the same regiment as this dude (I also know the dude from school lol)
- 17th Motorisede Battalion is an Army brigade, the guy you're seeing is a Sergeant or OR5.
- They do show you how to do drills, not just talking over it.
- 17th Bat is a pretty disciplined and trained unit. They know what they are doing
- Apparently about 50% of the guys that have been trained over there are already KIA
Fusiliers voorwaarts !, heb zelf gediend bij 13 PAINFBAT GFPI en met het 17e op uitzending geweest.
Damn that's a nasty casualty rate. Crazy war.
50% KIA seems a bit on the high side, wondering how they got to that percentage precisely.
I'm a Combat Engineer in the Dutch army, and the reason why we don't sit in the window during the breaching of a house, is because of glass splinters and schrapnel. You can never perfectly clear a window in the small time you have, so you want to step with your foot in the window frame, and not let glass pieces enter your 'ass' 😂. And the rank of the instructor is Sergeant. In the infantry a Sergeant leads a team of 7 men.
As a civilian without combat experience I think I’m not even close to being as trained/fit (als in fit, getraind, sportief) as a soldier. If I had to breach a window with my gear, vest, weapon I would take a while untrained. The guys showed here are civilians as well, think that’s the reason to use this technique.
@@Miel1253 no sir the way he explained why they used that tecnique. Is exactly the reason why nothing else
From wikipedia single gold chevron is a sergeant in the Netherlands Army, from another site a Dutch Sergeant is a section commander, so equivalent to a corporal in the British army or staff sergeant in the American army
Correct for so far, just not a section commander but a group commander. An Dutch Infantry platoon have 4 sergeants/sergeant first class with a group of 7 or 8 soldiers. And a sergeant major/sergeant first class as platoon sergeant/deputy platoon commander. A infantery group have 1 or 2 corporals depending on their role in the group. Depending on the branch an sergeant will have 4 years of military experience in the most cases. Most start as an regular soldier and work their way up until the can opt for the Royal Military School. Short contractors will have a training for 6 to 12 months. Livers will follow a course of +/- 2 years.
I worked with Dutch lads and Lasses in a civilian job, very good workers, I would expect the Dutch military to be as good if not better.
totally
The Dutch are very solid boys and girls. I liked working with the at a big Dutch corporation, very reliable and competent.
The company I work for makes the helmets for the Dutch military here in VT. It’s pretty cool to see them in use.
Send me one for birthday please
6:04 They use the extra person to account for situations where the window-frame is full of broken glass so you wont have to put your hand on it. At least that is what i was taught during MOUT-training.
And also, if you have to swing your leg over the window sill, you're extremely vulnerable the moment you do so because you're in a kind of unbalanced position. In this way he stays in a position where he's in better control of the situation inside.
Looks like the dutch still have some payback open for MH17
F yes we do.
I think that already settled by sending a shitloaf guns to ukraine
Actually it is getting more, when I look to myself.
The Dutch invented the Marines 1665 ! they sailed up the Thames sunk a bunch of English ships at harbor and stole the flag ship in a night raid. he is a infantry / fusiliers sergeant, not 100% sure because its hard to see his emblem.
No it is Portugal. the first Marines year 1618 .
I know a guy that rowed with his brothers over the North Sea and into the Thames! Our marines rock. Dutch marines are actually corps brothers to the Brit s. As an army man I hate to say it: but these guys are really good warriors.
It was under Admiral Michiel De Ruyter that the Dutch Marine Corps was formed. While 4 marine Corps did pre-date them it was the first Marine Corps that specialised in amphibious warfare.
@@raleeuw I think he meant the Geuzen. It wasnt marines more like a marine militia
Surely the vikings were the first "marines"! 😉
Slava Ukraini! Greetings from the Netherlands!
The instructor is not a marine but an infanteryman (army) of the 17 Garde fuseliers prinses irene (gfpi). His rank is sergeant (nco).I know because i was deployed with the 17 GFPI for 6 months.
Dutch invented the marines. Proud to be dutch we truly have some of the best quality/most highly trained forces in the marines and commandos in the world
hahaha i know a commando from dutch army, and he said they are poor trained dude... they are not that good as they say.
@@brucemourad7390 they train with alot of other forces, forces like the Royal Marines. Th dutch have proven to be a formidable force on multiple multinational exercises and competitions. We might not have te best equipment, and might not be the absolute best, but we are a high quality army and highly trained
@@brucemourad7390 bruce dutch marines are one of the best trained out there so set the american pride aside.
@@brucemourad7390 i also know quite a few dutch commando's, sniper team members, marines etc. I assure they are of the highest quality in the world...
so cool to see my country does so much to help❤
Indeed, they really shouldn't have shot down our plane mh17......
Thank you for sharing 😎🙏🇺🇲🎖️
They are using the SA80 for the CQB because it has a blank firing adaptor. Then they are trained on AK variants that the British MOD bought specifically for this training program. Those don’t have the blank adapters.
That's the only reason? BFA's? You can get AK BFA's by weight for scrap money. Or is it that the AK BFA doesn't have the same safety features?
@@rogiervis2306 plus the AK won’t take a paintball adapter for real close work in the tunnels of my local CQB training centre 😉
You're always so respectful, & acknowledge the really high standard's of the UK military. I know you're a huge fanboy of the Special Air Service. Well you know something Theo, most of us in the UK think they are pretty damn special (get it), & awesome too! I'm really glad, they're re ours, & really proud of all our UK armed services. Your channel, is great!
that dude is a Sgt. from the GFPI ( Guard Regiment Fuseliers Prinses Irene )
I did not see Dutch Marines in this film, but instructors from 17 Infanterie Battalion (Regiment Infanterie Prinses Irene), a unit of the Royal Netherlands Army.
That dude is a OR-5 sergeant so pretty on point for that sort of training. Btw that reminded me of our training to enter a 6 foot high window with 2 guys making a “stair case” lol. Just had to be sure to run fast enough not fall off the sides or ride a dude like a horse 😂
A whole staircase 😂
I have been in the Dutch airforce for 2 years stationed in Blomberg Germany in 1986 till 1989 as a radarspecialist at the HAWK air defence system. My training was not so intence as the marines get there training but this kind of footage reminds me of that time and makes this upload special to watch. Thx for this upload. Great to watch...
The Dutch Royal Marines are one of the oldest Marine corps in the world .
the oldest
You mean the Dutch invented the Marines😏
NO MARINES INVOLVED IN THIS VIDEO.
@@Wolfe1966 although we are old we are not the oldest officially. The portugese and brits take the credits for that. We did come up with the idea of specialised amphibious units, but only since 1665 it became an official unit
@@Wolfe1966 yes, in the 80 years war against Spain.
I think many of the nordic countries are used to doing training together, so i think they can do pretty similar training
Yes right!
His rank in dutch army sergeant, the private ranks are coloured red and the corporal ranks are yellow everything more up is gold like the sergeant
Hi Bro, for your information; although there are marines nowadays all over the world, The Marine Corps was grounded by Admiral Michiel de Ruyter, the most famous admiral ever from the Dutch Navy on the 10th. of December 1655. He had permanent these soldiers on the big sails of the Dutch Navy to do landings on shores which happened as such. Greetings from The Netherlands
As a Dutch citizen I'm damn proud of all the men and women serving my country,
I think the trainer has the rank of corporal. Rumour has it that the Dutch marines were nicknamed the Black Devils by the German paratroopers, after their ferocious defence of Rotterdam city in may 1940.
No he is a Sgt of prinses Irene and a trainer of the infantry
Sergeant, not corporal.
The Netherlands corporate with the British in England and working together in training the Ukraine
The SA80 is (now) a fine weapon! I won't have it disparaged, sir! ;-)
Glory to all the allies involved in this initiative.
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
He is a sergeant. So he had an extra training/school for actually leading in batlle and instructing in military schools. The dutch military requires you to move from role ever few years so theres a high chance he has been an instructer in the past aswell as serving in a regular unit that went on missions
✌
But he's wearing a "Soldaat 1e klas" chevron @ 08:07.
Weird.
@@spekenbonen72no that is not soldaat 1, soldaat 1 red sergeant is yellow.
@@spekenbonen72 No, When you remember the Airforce used the American and British system, 1 is private 1st, 2 is corporal, 2 and a short is corporal 1st class, 3 is sergeant. 3 and a short is sergeant 1st class, Sergeant major/Master sergeant 4 stripes. Adjudant a blocked line. LIMOS -> LETS -> Vlb Ypenburg.
@8:00 He is an under officer and his rank is Sergeant. That is OR-5 on the NATO scale
netherlands represents!! great vid lad
As always a great video and admire the respect you show other nations, keep up the great work you do. I can’t wait to see the Ukrainians training in the UK on the Challenger 2 tanks. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦
The difference in training that you (rightfully) notice has a actual purpose; the idea behind this is, beside the basic training, to also teach each different group some certain techniques and combat tactics; like zone clearance, close combat techniques, Counter offense and raid tactics to name a few; They simply can't teach everything in such a short period, but the idea/purpose behind it is so they can share their knowledge what they have learned during the training once they arrive back to Ukraine... There they have another period of learning/practicing before being send to the front.
All the instructors are based in the UK. You can see the Ukrainians using the SA-80 rifles. The Aussies are on their way.
Can they have some of your leopard 2's, say 20/30?
I really think they put the step on the back thing in the short training to learn to offer for the group intended as teambuilding and learning to trust in eachother. Dutch army always refers to you come in as a induvidual and after the training your one together! But im not in the army but living in the netherlands
The instructor is a sergeant of a infantry regiment in the Dutch army. I was unable to see if he is an instructor only or if he is also a group commander in his regiment normally.
He is just a group commander. Not a instuctor
5:40 bear in mind most windows have broken glass where if you really want to have glass up your ass you could slide like they did in that section of the video thats just so you can go fast trhough that obstacle
He's a sergeant. If he has a thin stripe above he's a sergeant 1st class and two stripes of the same thickness is a sergeant major. Some als have a crown obove they've stripes wich indicates you finished advanced instructor school. My last rank was sergeant 1st class so I had the gold stripe with a thin gold stripe above and a crown
They don't show the guys setting the example but they're there.
He explains the tactic and they show it and they copy it.
My guess is they don't show them for security reasons and not having to blur the video which isn't always accurate.
His rank is SGT and his unit is Princess Irene Brigade. They only brigade that toke part in the landing in Normandy.
also there is few people from landhelgisgæslan/icelandic coast guard part of training ukriane military but thats more in a EOD type of stuff not in combat scenario as they are one of the best for that even US military got their training from icelandic coast guard in world war 2 not many people know that and after world war 2 when all the seas around europe had alot of seamines
'Easy Company' from the 101st Airborne during the 'Normandy' landings set the benchmark for up close trench warfare tactics when they assaulted a Germany artillery position. Still used today. MAXIMUM RESPECT.
That scene is in band of brothers. Tactic thought out by Dick Winters.
@@skamp5421 Easy for me to comment on. I wasn't one of the soldiers who entered the trenches and engaged the German's 'one on one.' Extremely violent, they were tough young men. Kind of embarrassed talking about it. A modern day American soldier who has seen combat has the right to commentate, and I have the right to shut up. Arm chair experts like myself, are the last thing the world needs. I served in the airforce, completely different sport.
He is a sergeant (PanzerInfantry. In the Netherlands 18 month education)
That video was REALLY great. Good job! It must be difficult to train soldiers that you KNOW are going into direct, murderous, violent and sometimes hand-to-hand fighting. I would be a tough and demanding instructor. The only thing on my mind would be: "Am I doing enough!!!" I want my men to survive and train them to a razor's edge. Right or wrong, I would feel each combat death of my trainees rest on me. Somehow I failed. It would be tough. I would get harder and tougher.
Training with the guy as a step up in front of the window is smart.
Yes, its not needed here and probably quicker without him.
But if they find themselves in a situation during combat with a higher window that is not as easy to step in it could turn real nasty if they are strugling to get in fast.
In combat it should be an automated action drilled into them to use someone to boost them up.
5:45 ur not gonna be quicker no, but you can keep your gun pointed forwards in case of a situation where you need it immediately
7:57 Sergeant or trainer. Somewhere thats corporal, but I think not in Dutch army.
Sergeant (2nd class) indeed.
It’s a sergeant, those sergeant receive in the Netherlands a really good training, so he for sure knows what he is doing
Actually the Dutch had the furst real Marine Core Look up Michiel de Ruijter the father of all marines
We are all members that just want peace, every country will do what we can!
We trained to roll up trenched and also to build them as part of the training in Finland, good knowledge to have.
@5:45 I don't think it's about being quicker, it's about being able to keep aiming your weapon where you are looking without the possibility of an enemy jumping your with a bullet while you're climbing through the window, isn't it?
he is a Sarge btw, there the "17GFPI" 17 Guards Rifle Armored Infantry its my Regiment
These Ukrainian guys a mostly total civilians before they start. Most Dutch speak perfect English.
07:45 that is the dutch army ranking insignia for sgt 1st class. It differs per branch of course.
Sgt1 is two stripes. 1 stripe is sgt.
@@lieuweferwerda4169 1 stripe is sgt, correct. Sgt 1st class is 1 stripe and a small stripe. 2 equal stripes is sgt - major. It was when i served 35 - 40 years ago 🙂
i have a point on the window entry, we train on this manouvre to not get wounded by the rests of glass in the windowpost
You can tell in the other videos of officers directing their units in contact. Leading by example, clear instructions and firing points, even down to ammo checks.
The training is working
Thank you so much . God bless America , Glory to Ukraine!
For me it is the UK, becuase in our history they always helped us and protected our Independence. Plus we always had a big economical partnership with them since 13th century (Flanders,Belgium)
The instructor is a sergeant, the Dutch army has different rank insignia than the US. A red V is a private first class, a yellow V is a corporal and a golden V is a sergeant. It's more complicated than this, but basically that's how it works.
Nice vid, his rank is Sergeant. It's hard to see, but the small stripes blend in a bit in the video.
Theo stepping on someone back to go through a window with shards of glass still in the bottom of the window will stop them from cutting there legs.
Rank with this stripe is sergeant (3 stripes in many army's), but the one stripe is gold/silver, 1,5 gold/silver strips is first sergeant, 2 gold/silver stripes is a sergeant-major. Corporals have jellow/white stripes instead of gold/silver
Did the sound break? or is that me?
You should do a video on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Emergency response team. I can point you a very good video for it.
Point it to me pls! I am interested! 🙂
@@Jaydon05 ua-cam.com/video/mrriz604jD8/v-deo.html
@@Jaydon05 Its on the national police federation UA-cam channel
Our Dutch Marines are some tough mfs. We even have a unit called MARSOF which is like Dutch Navy Seals
The reason why they use someone to step on is to do the drill for if the window is higher. The danger when you just stap over it the chance is big some glass injures you.
TY, Theo for sharing 👊
On the guy crouching in front of the windows to provide a step-up , the guys stepping in/up can still aim/shoot inside the room ?
Its just an idea , Im in no way a military guy .
In the Navy, I shoot only 2 types (9mm and Beretta(shotgun)).
But as a Corpsmen attached to Marines I shoot M16, SAW, 50 Cal., and M4.
I think the window stuff has to do with boobytraps. I know soldiers fighting in Ukraine generally don't use the door and use the windows instead to enter buildings. I think they use the human stairs to avoid setting off any booby trapped window frames.
It's training, so prolly used for different scenarios
A lot of the translation is wrong or out of context unfortunately. One example 3:44 "weather" is incorrect, he says "weerbaarder" which sort of translates to "give more potential to resist".
This is a regular pantser infantry regiment, not the marines.
And the guy sitting on the ground before the window allows the guys entering to keep their sights up front. Better than to wobble in.
The guy is a Sergeant 2nd btw.
Sad though the Dutch they train with will be aware that many of them will die,
Nothing new in wars, people die, but atleast they die protecting their own independency, freedom, family and land from terrorist state of ruzzia pedorapist.
Yes, all that Train these Valient Ukarainians Know that Fact !!~~ IT IS ALWAYS AT THE BACK OF THEIR HEADS, AS THEY TRAIN THEM !!!
Question for the soldier :
How can you be sure that the targets you are shooting at, are actually enemies and not friendlies ?
It seems like in a rural area, that things get hectic really fast, how to keep the situational awareness in check ?
translations are kinda ridget but it's more or less ok.
but the rotations of instructors is mostly because some country's have larger training grounds for surten types and thus more instructors for surten things that's why the groups are mixed and you have difrent locations. it's just to have the best instructors giving the best training on these speed courses as possible.
because alot of men need this training and they have a short timeframe so cooperations is key.
The instructor NCO is a sgt 2nd class
at 8.00 He is a sergeant.
My sergeant told me a story about how he pulled someone through the window with that entering tactic cause he was taking awhile and the dude broke his collarbone. The dudes rank is a sergeant
The reason why people use this tactic climbing a window even when its low at 5:27, is because in a rush ur never sure if all the glass is cleared in the window, so better be safe then sorry, you also have the breaking tool to use when stepping in
17 painfbat prinses irene brigade and the rank is sergeant. Slava ukraini heroyam Slava 🇺🇦🇵🇾
3:20 the fuunny thing is that Finland is now part of NATO as well and Sweden is considering.
7:10 It is how I learned most of the things. I have used with in factories and on work sites with some highly specific equipment. I always told my instructrs, don't tell me, don't write it down... just show me. You tell me a 100 times... I forget. You show me once... I never forget.
10:20 the most difficult part if I would do this, would be the fact that I would know, no matter how well I train them, some will not make it.( I would be a bad soldier, not in the least because I am a pacifist. And no, that doesn't mean I am anti military)
I guess they use that trick at the lower window (where they step on a guy's back) so that they're immidiately able to shoot. Otherwise you have to use one arm to climb over the window and you cannot aim while climbing.
The instructors wear the emblem of my old Regiment: 13th Infantry Regiment. A short history lesson: the similarity between the Ukrainians and the Infantry Regiment is interesting: the '13th' was founded during WWII in GB and the (Dutch) soldiers were trained to liberate the Netherlands from the enemy: nazi Germany. Which they did after D-Day. I'm sure that the Dutch instructors are well aware of the historical significance of their task since the history of the Regiment is well-known among all ranks.
i think the main reason why afghanistan fall so quick even tho they got longer training then ukraine got is the moral of why you are being trained moral of why other lives depends on what you are training for
Slava ukraine from canada and the NATO mission to train ukranians is one of the reasons the ukra Ian's are doing so incredibly well.
Australia just sent a contingent of instructors to UK to assist aswell.
It kind of makes sense to walk into the window from someone's back since you can keep aiming and firing.
I'm sorry to say so but there was absolutely no Dutch marine involved in this video. The sergeant we see al the time is army. Indentified as a member of the "Irene brigade". This brigade has a long history. Starting in WW 2. Trained by Britsish army in England this brigade of volunteers saw their firts combat at D-day. They also took part in the liberation of many places inluding the liberation of Holland.
As a Dutchie i think 5 weeks is not enough! Train these brave soldiers atleast 3 months.
Of course they would, if they had time
I hope after the war Finnish Defence Forces will hire a few distinquished (non-russian, obviously) veterans as instructors. It's good to have real experience AND training.
Its so vital the democracies stand together. This is good versus evil. Freedom versus dictatorship and this is the final .
