Army Ranger Breaks Down All The Gear He Takes On A Night Mission | Loadout | Insider Business 

Nah man Id disagree the older genreation of green berets are so incredibly professional. The rangers i worked with were at up as far as rangers go. still more professional compared to conventional units but GB can definitly get on point faster smoother and easier than rangers. Its takes a battalion of rangers to do what an ODA of GB do. Going back to the generational thing the younger cats regaudless of unit is ate up to high hell. so entitled they are.

​@@davidyoung8769 You must be high. Go to any line Infantry unit or Ranger Company and tell them how entitled they are, and get back to me from whatever hospital you're at.

@@davidyoung8769 Rangers are WAY better at CQB and raiding than Green Berets. So apple and oranges.

@ℓυкє ѕηу∂єя they're using OPS Core SF Fast Helmet

@Matt Rowold Ive watched rangers get stitched up in simulations by green berets. They are very entitled. You sound offended. Kinda entitled too.

That's bc the stuff is heavy.

@@deusvult6920 that's true that's why the gear is dispersed across teammates

We call those people gear rangers.

Just had to take a dig at airsoft....

Airsofters are weird tho

Nice. My grandpa was also in Vietnam but he was a meteorological observer in the army. Then he went on to help design the b-1 bomber after the war.

@@dylanjohnson4624 like the space rocks?

Not dumb at all however, like he said, his kit pretty simple compared to other Rangers. He's just scratching the surface!

Lol, it’s not exactly rocket science

Lol I was a regular soldier, never in any type of tier 1 or 2 units and knowing what's on your kit is not rocket science. It's like knowing what type of shoes you are wearing or what apps are on your phone and what they do 😂

Agreed. These guys are THE consummate professional. Know their stuff in and out. It's a pleasure to watch.

when you life depends on it you have it to where you know every piece of gear and where it is without having to think about it.

Practice practice practice practice

Lots of grit and determination…Ranger lead the way 🇺🇸

They train a shit ton. Pretty much all they do when not deployed is train.

Mindset, no matter how much you train. you wont get to this level. SOF operators are just built differently

@@Iwasavictimofesotericfascism please be quiet. They are humans. Anybody can do what they do. The question is do you want it?

Bullshit. They just enforce the military industrial complex. Our future is trashed while they "work hard".

Yvan Eht Nioj

Why bless anything that's lethal?

There's a lot of non-Ranger footage in there...they really stick out!

A lot of the footage with marines was from a training exercise where the rangers were teaching the marines stuff.

Lazy producer. Googled guys with guns and just used the first thing that looked like something useful.

@@maxmoanz6561 bullshit

They are called light infantry for this very reason

not to diminish them but their deployments arent as long as typical Army ones. They certainly do a lot more during their deployments though

Ranger Regiment op tempo is pretty fast

3-6month.

@@MackDonaldo they go out every night of that 3 month deployment though and see much more than conventional army would on a 8 month deployment walking through the mountains.

​@EF2000 SOF-wide deployments are usually 6 months or less because when they're home they're always TDY or just constantly training. High Op Tempo for sure

Respect, your a badass sir

No kidding medieval. Remember the “star light scope”? 😅

Greg Brohmund?

@@duffelbagdrag mad respect for anyone in the infantry…went to Infantry advanced course…got a chance to check out the Bradley (baby Abrams). Learned a lot about being in the Infantry; wasn’t just about Ranger raids/recons/ambushes…Infantry is a big branch. Became a army helo pilot for 27yrs after leaving 1st Batt…always loved flying for the grunts. Like I said, Mad Respect.

I can feel you with this even kit from early gwot is a lot more ancient looking. I got out in 2011 and we were just starting to switch to some of the kit he showed. When i was first in we were rocking the que ball helmets all tan spray paint then we went to the spray paint camo net pattern, then some got the crye helmet covers before they switched to the modern helmet just as I was getting out.

mans profile picture is literally just the USSOUTH region lmao. Shows a lot.

@@Iconocaster yeah kiddo because the south is the better part of the United States. One of many designs I have. It shows a lot? What does it show?

@@LowVisGunfighter "kiddo." Dude definitely grooms minors for fun. Also I live in Louisiana so I can confidently say that the south sucks ass. Weed isn't legal in most of the states and everything really is bigger inn Texas (except the dicks. The small dick enjoyers drive Hellcats and squatted Rams.)

is it okey to let the army recruite kids in our school without our authorisation ? i mean if we cant have gay books in the same building as our kids why should the army be allowed to recruite in the same building as our kids.

@@abricots5588 because the United States was founded on Christianity thus the United States military falls under the US government making it a Christian based military but with the exception soldiers having any individual religion they want granted by our constitutional rights. Now being gay/ homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God and an abomination to Christianity. It’s always been tradition for the military to recruit the young men and women from high school as an early career which usually the military is good for you. If you’re 18 which is legal age, you don’t need parents approval obviously but point being you can do whatever you’d like with your life as in a career from that point. They can recruit 17 year olds but they need an adult’s signature to actually process in. I don’t believe it’s such a bad thing for young people to go into the military as long as their lives aren’t wasted with toxic and/or corrupt leader ship. It’s also not the military’s job to inform you that your kids are interested in joining. That’s the child’s choice if he wants to inform his family on his aspirations. The military isn’t forcing anyone to join. Everyone has their own free will. Now gay books shouldn’t be in schools because they’re pretty disgusting. The gross language and pedophila in the books are sinful and the teachings in them are evil. You don’t want 6 year olds learning how to read from from a book about homosexual intercourse. That’s evil and sick. You can’t really make a comparison with all due respect. The United States was founded on Christ and it needs to go back to a Pro Christ era. Reject all this sick and evil woke crap. FYI, even the military is woke and left now. That’s why I’m not in.

I can only speak for what myself and the squad had. Couple secret squirrels with Kbars, mostly pocket style flip knifes. Utility knifes to cut 550 really, my favorite was just a long shank flat head screw driver (ol trusty) the one in the tool box you reach for in those "Finesse" situations. doors, boxes, pad locks, gates, mre's, Encouraging the M2 to work properly. Hell I even remember using it to help climb up and out of steep inclines and over walls. Think I got more out of that 4 dollar beater than anything else on my kit to be honest.

most rangers Ive known had either a auto open or flip open benchmade or similar knife they carried with them in their pocket everywhere in or out of kit.

Fairly common to still strap a combat knife around the lower leg.

@@joshua3630 not with the infil and exfil rangers do on a normal mission you want to keep as much weight and constricting things off your legs as possible and keep them on your core. Its also part of the reason you don't see drop holsters in regiment. You see on the hip or if they do a lot of vehicle ops they will mount it high on the plate to allow access easy not on the leg as it will cause problems on a 10+k infil.

Infantry in general and rangers in particular train by saying you're dead if you lose your firearm. Soldiers carry knives for utility, and only as a last resort weapon.

Haha cocky is right, the more direct action groups have even more skill and knowledge, but many of those kids in ranger battalion thought they themselves were the shit.

Honestly a Ranger earned their right to be cocky

@@KosherPorkynot really

@@Lycurgus47 technically they do.....ish they do move swiftly and get the job done, but your right about one thing, they really don't have to be cocky

@@BeastOps10 I spent 9 years in the Regiment. I am well aware of how cocky Rangers are. My point is, that although they are SOF, and some believe they have a “earned” a right to be cocky, the best ones are humble but confident. Cockiness is a front.

It just depends on mission set. There's only so many ways to skin a cat.

@@3User I think he means specialties. I'd love to see a GB, CCT, and TACP show off the shit they need to carry for their longer patrols, needing to set up an LZ, or direct air assets.

Even 20 years, they didn’t have this in 2001

lolololol I have stories of guys forgetting their gloves. 3/75 88-92

Ranger battalion used to, if not now, promote based on certain training or school objectives more than time in service. Initial promotions were faster than the regular army, but you can't get an e5 without Ranger school, then promotions beyond that depend on more factors.

It’s a North American rescue CAT (combat application tourniquet)!

The gerber is not an issued item to rangers, most carry one but not a specific brand or model

😂😂 really? Were u in 75th?

Hi corcoran

@@jordanory2675 hey man how have you been? Still in?

I have heard that batt smokings are pure hell lol

@Señor Juan Wick physical hazing makes better Rangers, that's for sure. Worked on me at least.

It's been issued to the Rangers and other infantry teams for decades (at least since the late 90s early 2000s).

@@vtxgenie1 From my understanding, regular infantrymen did not get Peltors/Sordins as a standard issue piece of equipment until very recently.

thank you for seeing that as well

the plate carrier is 7 years old, the rest is probably replaced as needed. The IFAK internals for example, need to get replaced every few years simply because the medical stuff expires

More than likely the carrier is original but it probably got replaced not too long ago... pouches and any other kits can get torn up pretty significantly during training and deployments so it wouldn't surprise me if he had to replace a lot of those frequently scenario dependent

Did he talk about jungle yetis?

The poor kids in russia dont have the Hague invasion act protecting them from Being charged with war crime, Unlike us God bless Murica

you really dont understand warfare do you

i carried +110lbs while on missions in Batt. the load is REALLY well distributed, so it didn't feel *that* heavy*... but, being combat equipped, yea, we weighed A LOT!

@@dobrzpe It's all fun and games until it comes time to cross the shit creek, then the weight of god crashes down upon you.

lightest kit I had was 90lbs when on squirter interdiction, most the time it was 120+ and I weighted between 150-165 entire time i was in batt, except during and immediately after ranger school where I only weight 135-140ish.

This is also one big ass dude, he def weighs a good bit naked 😂

Lol spot on

They are losing more than they can get because nobody wants to deal with peacetime Garrison BS.

Idk man I was in ranger rgt and from talking to marine recon buddies they get access to just as many if not more cool guy schools

Idk about all that bro, I was in Aco 3/75 in 2013 and a bunch of the dudes in my platoon had been in that surviving the cut show. I remember rgt also produced a recruiting ad that year where they showed real combat footage, training events, pt ect. with music from Breaking Benjamin. Mostly for pr to get recruiting and retention up but it was cool to see recognition, good for morale imo.

It's not that deep. All branches do this, retention issues or not. I mean the song "In the Navy" was literally a pitched by the Navy for recruitment, I don't think anyone would say the Navy was having man power issues back then.

They are pushing the army hard in my school.

@@jk.smalls I probably could name a couple dudes you’d recognize, had some legends graduate with me. Pure bad assess. Maybe nothings changed other than the media platforms. RU-vid is way bigger now than it was back then when we went in. I guess it’s just crazy to see such a push for all of this now after the war is over. This is something I’d more expect 10 years ago.

@@abricots5588 VERY

Those are for breaching. Squad leaders typically carry a short barrel shotgun with hatton rounds that can defeat most residential style doors.

@@jk.smalls hopefully no kid is standing behind the door trying to unlock it for them.

@abricots5588 probably not too likely in an active war zone but hatton rounds are made of clay and won't kill a person.

​@@jk.smalls Your use of "Won't" is so generous you should claim it as a charitable donation. Hatton round Are deadly and have caused deaths in the past and multiple injuries. Hatton rounds are not really made of clay, they are made of metal powder in a clayish polymer. And what you described as a Warzone is Literally their houses. They cant just leave their houses for 20 years. The entire country was a Warzone.

I thought i was the only confused one lol

Shock tube is a length of explosive material in the form of a wire that connects to the high explosive charge. The shocktube initiates the charge via sympathetic detonation. The shock tube initiatior attaches to the shock tube and kicks off the detonation chain.

I'm flattered that they think a conventional marine is a Army Ranger.

So true, i was in 2/327 101 ab and we were running flcs over our iotvs in 2021.... i get that they only want us to wear our iotv but the flc? Come on, the gen 4 iotv has MOLLE for a reason, shit is so clunky with a flc over it.

Drop packet.

... their* (!) own guys ...

Yeah, the way I see it, individual soldiers should be able to invest in their own kit (mainly plate carriers & chest rigs, since body armor causes insurance concerns) that’s lighter and more mobile. If you take pride in your kit and hone your craft, you’re even more effective as an infantryman.
