In this Units of History episode we explore the vaunted story of the US Marine Raiders which emerged in WW2 to act as the tip of the spear for offensives against Japan in the Pacific War.
We begin the episode with an overview of the state of the US Marine Corps following the Great War. It was in these years that the forces slowly came into play which would eventually birth the Marine Raiders. One major factor was the development of Amphibious Operations Doctrine which increasingly called for the use of special first wave units meant to soften enemy defenses prior to a landing. To this end, the Marine Corps would begin allocating time and resources towards this effort as war loomed on the horizon in the Pacific. Key to these efforts would be two commanders who ended up leading the First and Second Raider Battalions, namely Merritt Edson and Evans Carlson.
We spend time familiarizing ourselves with the careers of both these men and how their particular personalities would end up shaping their units. Our history documentary then covers the equipment, training, and tactics of the Marine Raiders as the came into being in the months immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
We then cover the service history of the US Marine Raiders from the raid on Making Island to the Battle of Bloody ridge on Guadalcanal. In part 2 we will continue this story with the long raid and their continued operations through 1943.

Hello, stranger on the internet. My dad grew up on stories of the Marine Raiders as a boy through the 50s and 60s. He volunteered for the Marines in 1972 after completing a year of junior college. He ended up not deploying since the war was winding down and was discharged that same year. However, he told me stories of Evans Carlson and his Raiders as I was growing up. He was inspired by Carlson's training of his battalion and how important it was for his men to know 'why' they fought. A book he often talked about was one called, American Commando, by John Wukovits. You might consider reading it if you haven't already.

And as far as I can tell, first raiders had much better results. The Makin raid could only verify 46 confirmed Japanese causalities, the 180 is a claim by carlson coming from the flying boats. Makin was seen as a disaster and Carlson was relieved of command not long after, and he never led another unit in combat again. By contrast, first raider's commander had a distinguished career and was promoted to commander of the first marine regiment in 1943.

He was on Midway, the Makin Raid, Long Patrol, Bougainville… after disbanding he was wounded on Iwo Jima which sent him home.

A battalion with six maneuver companies is huge. It must have been like our modern CAG or SeAL Teams or DEVGRU. There is a reason a fire team has a team leader and 3 soldiers/Marines, a squad has a squad leader and three teams, a Platoon has the HQ/PL and three squads, a company has the HQ section/CO....see a pattern? Three maneuver elements is the largest number any one leader can control while in a fight. That's still a lot of coordination between the leader his elements, adjacent friendly forces and his command. The reason that when you get larger than a Battalion into a Brigade or higher that they can comprise up to 4 Battalions of Infantry, armor units, LRSD assets, artillery, air defense units, intelligence units to include drone assets, an engineer company, etc, etc is because Brigade commanders and above all have a battle staff that is given a structured outline of what each Infantry battalion is planning to do and the coordination between them and adjacent units, engineer assets and fires are set by staff and it's all run through them. The Brigade commander will have his battle staff in the bde TOC receiving up to the minute updates and the units actions down to the platoon level are tracked on a huge map of the battle space. The commander will not be in the TOC, he will be somewhere on the battlefield where he can move between his maneuver bn while his RTOs are reporting important changes to the battle space to him. The S3 and XO will run the TOC and the S2 will continue to compile the information and push it to the subordinate commanders as the battle develops. Each leader from the newest team leader to each bn commander has a lot of discretion to develop his piece of the fight and take initiative and adapt the plan as long as he maintains he responsibilities of communication with adjacent units and higher while staying within the commander's intent.

The book “The Water Beneath the Walls” talks about the Raiders, as well as Rangers and UTD’s origins. It also expands on how the Navy ended up with Seal Teams, which in summary is due to the Army and Marines disbanding Raiders and Rangers after WWII.

@briansonnenfelt7125 10 ай бұрын

@@raywhitehead730you should probably read the book. I said how they ended up with the seal teams, which are rooted in UDT. Also, you might want to check your own history. UDT continued to operate after WWII, including in Korea and other actions. Seal Teams were recommended by Arliegh Burke, CNO, in 1961. Kennedy “directed” it a few months later. UDT was the only paramilitary force that was not disbanded after WWII and Korea, hence the least likely branch (Navy) ending up with elite operators of UDT. The first seal teams were filled with members of UDT, and commissioned in 1962.

@Kaiquintos Жыл бұрын

This has been an incredibly valuable video of knowledge. I thought I previously had a fairly decent understanding of what and how the USMC were both organized and trained during WW2. But this video showed me an absolute immense amount of newly gained knowledge. I do also want to add that it is incredibly upsetting to see that KZfaq clearly does not care about some of its own communities. Since more and more groups are getting restricted or complete demonetization. And not for a good and valid reason either. There's quite a few of you historical channels that I know spend an incredible amount of time and energy into these kinds of videos. Depending on the topic they do vary in length. But undoubtedly you have both skillful researchers and scriptwriters along with some top tier animators and editors. And it breaks my heart to see you pour this much effort into a video that because it's an informative and educational video about something with wartime history. It will be branded by some algorithm that it's not "good". Be it good for marketing purposes or good for family friendly content. It doesn't matter, what matters is that KZfaq clearly puts less effort, care and money into making sure that the creators of videos that are easily on par with many documentaries known for their quality and authenticity. Instead they rather push for channels that target larger audiences with a more "trendy" content. I don't know what the upper echelons of KZfaq and Google are thinking of or about. But clearly they are not understanding just how valuable videos like yours truly are. There are so many channels with content focused on informing or educating. And they do such a great job of doing it. There's already plenty of material out there that's regularly used to help people in many different academic endeavors. Be it in the higher tiers of advanced university courses to basic knowledge for general education. It's just tragic to see all of this talent wasted. But I suppose at the end of the day. That is just how the corporate world operates. And it will be just a question of time until they've chased off enough creators that KZfaq as a platform will no longer be seen as a "main entertainment" platform.

Came from a share from The Armchair Historian and am not disappointed. Loved the video, had never heard of these guys before!
