i'm watching this for a nerf war against 10 year olds

Remember, the most advantageous or desirable route of travel is also the most likely to be ambushed.

I use these tactics for nerf fights with my kids

mom: are you okay? me: lowcrawling face first through the lawn in full gear

Imagine seeing a bush move and your just like "ahh it's just Brent playing in the mud again"

I always like the point-post-sprawl-crush balls technique. It is exactly like the pps technique but with the added step of crushing your balls and unit into an unseen rock, root, or snag. The hidden benefit of this technique is that if the enemy hears you screaming and thinks you are grievously wounded, he will divert fire away from your position.

Murphy's combat law 15 "the easy way is always mined."

"I'm up, he see's me, I'm down" haven't heard that in years had to do that for 100 meters as a punishment for leaving my lighter in a harbour area... never smoked a single cigarette after that.

ill never forget the ditty they teach at infantry school in the marines. "Im up, he sees me, im down... knees weak-hand prone."

Listen up, folks. For all of you non military, this is the basics of infantry combat, listen to this guy. He knows what he's talking about.

Excellent job, Brent. Covering all the techniques, as well as the variations within each technique, is a chore! The reality is that IMT have evolved over the past 50+ years. What the School of the Infantry teaches today is slightly different than 10 years ago...and that is slightly different than 20 years ago...and so on. I believe the Point, Post, Sprawl technique is the latest version of the 3-5 Second Rush. Good stuff!

When I was going through military training, I remember how much I dreaded low crawls, rushes, and the likes. All of that only beat my body up. But man, is it good to know when things go south.

Never lay from where you are planning to shoot and never get up from where you were shooting.

It was twenty years ago in the beautiful state of Georgia, that I learned this. We did it for 8 hours straight in basic training. I had no skin left on my elbows and knees. The left side of my face was scratched and bleeding because we didn't have our Kevlar helmets, only soft covers. God, I miss the screams.

I love how perfectly he depicts the calmness and still before a firefight

Many years ago, I played paint ball (and yes, I know it's not exactly like real combat) and I was Amazed how quickly I could be spotted and shot. LOVE the video series.

I always like the intros.

As a retired Army 11BB4 1983-2009, this is the part of our skill package that we hate to learn and use but, it will save lives. Even before retiring I found that the Army has deleted a lot of useful skills a Grunt should know. One was conducting a volley fire attack at an enemy vehicle or position. I taught it to the men in my platoon in 2003 with AT-4’s. It’s true when they say we always train on how we fought our last war. We shifted from European theater and jungle skills to arid/desert climate warfare as well as training to fight a more conventional force (other than guerrilla style elements). I think that many of my fellow Infantrymen on here also cringe when they watch first person video footage of Ukrainians assaulting a dug in enemy with armored vehicle support not to mention aviation and indirect fire assets that can be brought in. It’s as if they gave rifles to the cub scouts and said “go gittum boys!”. They walked right into open/danger areas 30 meters in front of a known position that was engaging them then took a knee behind a 6 inch diameter tree thinking it was good cover as they all looked at each other for what to do next! If this war over there is happening on the scale they say, their Infantry units are seriously not qualified to effectively fight on a battlefield, unless they’re a suicide squad or something. I’ve looked at satellite images of both the Russian and Ukrainian dug in positions and trenches, they don’t make sense in the way they’re chosen and set up, it’s like someone used a dartboard to decide where to put prepared defenses. Yes, they should guard all critical infrastructure sites, all avenues of approach, etc but it’s not happening. And both sides seem to have no clue on how to use a camo net or at least how to do a tactical halt for all convoys. Anyway, I’ll shut up for now.

Great basic tutorial and no tacticool BS. This is what really works and been proven on the battlefield war after war for generations! thank you for making and this video, i felt like i went back to my infantry basic training days at fort benning almost 10 years ago. thank you.

Glad to see the enemy soldiers were considerate enough to wear facemasks. They want to shoot you, but they don't want to get anyone sick.

Mission of the Marine rifle squad: To locate close with. And destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver. Or to repel the enemies assault. By fire and close combat!

I can hear my Drills right now. IM UP HE SEES ME IM DOWN !!!! Oh good times at Ft Benning

The thought of everyone building boutique AR having to do this with their rifles. Lol

Most of this was covered in military science at my school, pretty good stuff and very useful in airsoft too

Canadians call the last one pepper potting, its the count of "up, he sees me, down". Its also the movement used when assaulting a trench.

GOOD STUFF! thanks for representing with those wonderful woodland cammies, best camo we ever wore! love the blank-face-G-I-Joe-villain look to the enemy combatants in the beginning sequence. folks that have't done this don't realize how much work went into making this video.

WOW! The special effects are through the roof when compared to years gone by! Great work!

Now I know why they wear knee protection.

Brings back memories of ITS at Camp Pendleton.

This is very good. Brings back memories when I was in the Marine Corps. This is good stuff because, this is the stuff that does not get reviewed enough. Everyone else is too busy posting CQB and room clearing tactics with SBRs. You are not going to clear tree to tree in the forest. All of that goes out the window when you are in a natural environment. Infantry tactics is soooo overlooked as part of one's training.

Fire and maneuver is the most effective battle tactic I've ever seen, but in a real shit sandwich someone must organize its development with loud commands and usually from the prone himself. I have seen great officers and NCOs accomplish this at their own peril. Great video lad. Thanks. (Bravo 1/3 '67-'68.)

You fail to disappoint Battle. Your efforts to bring us content is greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

Great video, brother. It never hurts an old infantryman to review these tactics from time to time. Although, I have to admit, the last time I did any firing and manuevering, I was a whole lot younger, than I am now! Lol! Take care, brother! Thank you for your service!

Yay low crawling... forever, at night, in the open looking for wire. Gosh that was interesting.

Awesome info!! I just can't shake the feeling that I'm going to be needing this info over the next several months...

I'm useless without the knowledge. Thank you gentlemen; the hard work is evident in the content!

I enjoyed It. Our army manual has those paces and crawling funnily named monkey pace, Leopard pace, Ghost pace, cat pace, kitten pace.

Just want to reiterate my gratitude for the this excellent guide you created. Thank you

This video excells from start to finish. It is both effective and possibly very timely. I may not be required to salute, but feel the need. SAAAAAALUTE !!!

We 19 Delta Cav-Scouts, used to find ambush spots for the 11-Bravo's. "Hide with pride, Recon."

Always love your videos man! We all appreciate the education and entertainment you provide!

Thank you for these practical insights and techniques. This information will prove to be invaluable in an extreme SHTF environment.

Good quality content, never fails to show great techniques.

This reminds me of some of these tips i was taught on Parris Island in 1980 on the ICT Obstacle Course. Thanks for sharing, you Mighty Awesome Devil Dog. ERRAH!!!

Super high quality video as always Brent. Still the best practical firearms and training channel on KZfaq.

One of the best series. Thank you very much.

From a former navy gunnersmate looking to go into green side after finishing my graduate degree, major thank you for the videos. We learn more cqb than actual field movements on ships for obvious reasons

Former 37F, , you civies should pay attention, without a doubt this guy's advice will save your head

I did a low crawl to test my hsgi tacos. Wasn’t anywhere near low. And way to fast. This was a good video on how to do it. Also need bungees for my pouches. Thanks for the video!

This is my favorite video of yours and I've watched it multiple times already.

Excellent stuff as always. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

looks cool in the movies to be in the army, real war would be scary as hell

Super helpful. I was already aware of hitting the ground when you come under fire, but I was never taught HOW to get there without slamming myself and my gear into the ground. Now I've actually got techniques to try/use.

Just found this channel and I appreciate it very much! Thx Brent

8:55 Recently did this movement technique for my range exercise with the Canadian Army and it really helped cutting down the time and increase my scores during my shoot.

“I’m up, he sees me, I’m down” I like that

Thanks for these! Just like I was taught at infantry osut many moons ago

So much work from you and your team...thank you for the informative videos!

Thanks for the video, it's interesting to see that we have very similiar tactics here. Better than our trainers showed as they were either showed it too quickly or told us to do it until we got it right. Used to love training in snow as it helped the transitions to prone and was more pleasant to crawl than let's say autumn and spring mud.

When the tall grass are whispering in Vietnamese

I hv been out of my beloved Corps since 1991. Recent events hv necessitated a revisiting of basic tactics. This video & ur channel are so helpful. Semper Fi.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Subscribed.

When I was taught the "Point Post Sprawl" method to get to the ground, we were told to squat instead of dropping to our knees. It also happened to be a similar to the 2 count movement used to get down to the front leaning rest (push up) position. Which, naturally, anyone who ever served is very familiar with. You plant your feet shoulder width apart. And with your weapon pointing forward you squat down, with your offhand reaching towards the ground roughly between your feet. Then, while supporting your upper body, you kick your feet back behind you (as if you are about to do push ups)and lower yourself to the ground with your offhand in a quick but controlled manner. This way, it minimizes injuries related to dropping down onto your knees, belly, or face. Or with the buttstock method, people accidentally impaling themselves with their front sight post of their weapon (I knew a guy who chipped a tooth this way). It can be just as fast as simply dropping down, but is a safer method. And if anything, will save your knees when you are a decrepit 25 year old who have spent too much time walking long distances carrying heavy things.

I haven't done a low crawl in 13 years since AF Basic. It was a pain back then, but will be even worse now since I'm 32 and no longer 18. Good information.

Outstanding Brent! Brings back long lost memories!

Man during basic I bet they went over all of this buuuuuuut I and don’t remember that at all!!! It’s nice to hear the specific techniques.

This is some of the most in-depth stuff I've FINALLY come across as a Civilian. During all this searching I have been doing, I have a question to all my Fellow American's who are Warfighters ( such as the gentlemen in the vid & who owns this Channel ) and this is my question: WHYY am I having soo much trouble finding things on such as small unit combat tactics, and things that would be considered bread and butter when I first came across them: Learning a Frontal Assault maneuver, AND, how that variates between the different structures and or geography that may be making an appearance as you close in on your destination/goal/kill-point. Other then that, I don't have any others because I'm having trouble finding our boys' techniques & tactics. Is this illegal to be taught by Government decree or something maybe?? Okay, I've asked enough, I appreciate you all. May God Bless You All! Also, P.S., if you have YET to incorporate The King Of Kings Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ into your life, pleeaase, I stress that you do so. I may not be a solider, but I'm fairly well-read & competent ( yet, not an "Academic" type though by a long shot...if u catch my drift lol ) on all Christian denominations & the overall doctrine, completely and totally. I. AM. HERE. FOR. YOU AS WELL...

Our MCT instructor was so pissed he made us do up downs for 45 minutes while we were screaming "I'm up he sees me I'm down".

I appreciate the content, great information....bring back memories. Again, outstanding job!

What a tike to be alive. Before i watched cause i was just curious but now i feel like i need to know this just in case. Thanks heaps Brent. Long time lurker.

I sustained 2 injuries dropping to my knees to go prone . be especially careful of your selected stopping point and have GOOD knee pads... I ended up going to a modified 3 point sprawl where my knees dont touch. just crouch and extend

Good Lord! How did this end up in my feed? Lol. Ok, I'll watch.

Love Bretts back to basics infantry training vids.But It reminds me anyhow,to stay in some type of physical shape to even execute these movements.PT comes first with me still after 35 years away from this training.Great training Brett🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡

Man your Awesome! These videos are So well created! Vid is Gold 🙌🏻💪🏽

An amazing video, they didn't teach us the method of using the M4 to assist in breaking the fall and neither the back crawl at Fort Benning; learned a lot from your Infantryman's Guide.

Every time I was saying "ah but what about..." you covered it! A great refresher for old soldiers who should never forget their skills and drills and armed citizens who may be new to all this. In the British Army it's Advance to contact and Fire and manouver. The low crawl is called the leopard crawl and the high crawl the kitten crawl. Establishing a fire base with one team whilst the other zig zag rushes forward then switch and repeat is called Pepper potting. Excellent drills as always. Why did I hear Gunny Highway saying "Mr. I hate America who has been trained to kill you" during the initial scene? Lol. The time, energy and expense plus the freely given access to your expertise brings great credit to you and your team brother. Stay safe, stay low and God bless you and your family.

You're the man Brent! Love these uploads

Brother, your videos are so packed and professional. Your uniform and tacrical exhibit is museum and milspec quality.

Always run in a serpentine fashion

JESUS CHRYSLER JEEP GRAN CHEROKEE! I never wanna run into this guy in the woods. Subscribed

Great video and a worthy refresher.

thanks for the refresher. its been decades since i last trained on these movements.

and remember, switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading

Better training film than the actual training films.

Amazing video as always Brent, thanks for the upload brother ✊🏽🇺🇸

It's great to see you posting lots of videos again Brent... a lot more info since the days of testing camo patterns. Which I fully enjoyed.. I was looking looking back through some of my Dad's old field manuals he'd collected after his time in the the 1st Marine Division, Korea ('52-56).... he'd collected manuals for Infantry Riflemen and placement of overlapping MG positions, etc It's interesting to see how they operated vs. today in our generation and how many improvements have been made...also, some of those basics that really haven't changed very much. But so many other aspects that have greatly improved older tactics. Semper Fi Brother !

This is how I survive when my girlfriend is on her period.

Question regarding the low crawl: When I was in, our mag pouches all had lids. With the more "modern" set up's, the pouches are usually open with no lid, usually a bungee securing the mag. With low crawl, do these open pouches load up with dirt and debris? Thanks.

Thank you for your service, and sharing your knowledge. I really learn alot from your clear instructions.

Bro I’ve been following since the beginning and you keep putting out quality content! Thank you!

Today 24th of February, Russia has attacked The Ukraine. I never thought id spend my day looking at modern military and infantry tactics while considering enlistment in the army while yesterday ive never seriously thought about it. wolrd is truly strange place

Good stuff Brent. Have you ever read The Tigers Way? The author H John Poole, was a Vietnam vet who noted that the VC and NVA were superior in movement techniques and use of micro terrain. Give it a read if you have a chance

Great videos, I love them! Keep them coming, please!

Thank you brother. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

GTG Devil Dog! Keeping me motivated and reliving flashbacks as a USMC Riflemen and 75th Ranger Team Leader! Staff sucks hahah Semper FI!

Seems like a great tutorial of basic individual movement techniques. On the one hand, I can see how these techniques are useful in a combat scenario. On the other hand, the combat movements do seem a little bit outdated with modern military observation technologies like drones and such. There's airsofters who are utilizing drones with glock airsoft pistols attached in their war games. I think the military is lacking in their use of technology, and especially in their combat doctrines. Concealment, surprise and assault is the most effective technique for winning battles. While you might never be able to always have concealment or surprise, it seems very foolish in my opinion to break cover in an assault technique. If the objective is to kill the enemy without being killed, breaking cover or concealment in an open field during an assault seems like a stupid idea. Ex, running in an open field directly towards fixed crucerve weapons placements. Its one thing to draw fire in order to create a distraction for a pincer movement from the sides...but it would seem stupid to rush a fixed position in a killing field. Just my opinion tho. As much as I can appreciate the usefulness and tactical capability of a semi and full auto platform for urban scenarios... In a jungle or forest or wilderness tactical environment, with lots of cover and concealment, taking advantage of long ranged rifles with scopes for accurate aquisition and a much better chance of killing on the first shot would seem to be the more useful skill. Not to say infantry don't have their place in combat. But in the long run, I think sharpshooters and snipers with defensive teams prove a more effective harassment to the enemy than infantry alone. Movement of multiple infantry in assault gives up the element of surprise, whereas a sniper team with multiple snipers can send a simultaneous, yet accurate volley without giving up their location, and infantry can defend against a counterattack, which gives everyone in the assault team the advantage of cover and surprise without exposure to enemy fire. I love Tibosaurus Rex's sniper videos. Would love to see you guys work on a collaboration where you combine infantry assault tactics with sniper team tactics. The future of warfare is concealment, surprise, and assault from fixed cover. The days of rushing an enemy from an open field just seems like a foolish tactical decision. Like trench warfare of WW1. Rushing out the trenches and getting mowed down by a machine gun fire. A complete waste of the element of surprise and tactically foolish.

Thank you for this guide. We All need this

Thank you for these. They’re quite educational.

6:33 damn that's some camouflage
