Doing live fire like this is intense. I’ve done a live fire exercise for MOUT once during my time in the army and I was wayy too nervous to even move half their speed in the shoot house because I was afraid of accidentally stepping into someone’s line of fire. This just shows how much trust and chemistry these guys have with each other
After a while, you get used to it. These guys are definitely fast, but it's all about training and getting to know how the guys on your team move. I had my guys do alot of CQB training (since I had prior experience in advanced stuff before the military with LE) and we were at about 80% of these guys speed in the live fire kill houses we did. That extra 20% these guys have is years of first class schooling and courses that we could only dream of attending. These guys and the JSOC dudes are Gods, but enough drilling can certainly make your squad way better killing machines than anyone else on the conventional side.
Plus the it lasers are over a grand the sure fire suppressors are another 1500 the rifle and optics are over 2 grand. These guys have well over 50k on them.
The best thing about this is that in 99% of room clearing vids on youtube, whether it's regular infantry or SF, they're almost always going really really slow because it's just training and they want to practice doing it all perfect. But these guys are going full speed
I imagine they're going full speed because they conduct countless of these types of raids all over the world and we don't even know about them. They gotta stay sharp.
That's because these are hostage rescue tactics. When you have a ticking bomb situation and there are civilians in danger you need to move a lot faster than if it's just bad guys. Other than Delta Force and SEAL Team 6, no American military units train for hostage rescue so they're able to move a lot more slow and deliberately. There's no reason to go this fast unless innocent lives are on the line and if they were training for a non-hostage rescue scenario then you would see them moving slowly, slicing the pie, mirroring corners etc the same way you would see with traditional SOF groups and SWAT teams in other videos.
@@philswift1252 Your...wrong Sf trains for Hostage Rescue especially those serving in a Force in extremis capacity. Ranger Regiment has a pretty notable hostage rescue in recent years. Also the whole "ticking bomb" doesnt really fit into HRT. Stop trying to tell people that they are wrong if you dont understand wtf your talking about either.
@@yeetustheefirst6731 I don't mean literal "ticking bomb" I just mean when you have hostages in immediate danger. Yes SF has a few small counter-terror detachments, they are rarely if ever used and the army is in the process of disbanding them because they're almost completely redundant due to Delta Force and DEVGRU's modern response times. I don't think there's actually a single example of any hostage rescue operations by crisis response force elements. As for your claim that Rangers have their own hostage rescue force, that's just not true at all. Rangers regularly act in support of Delta Force operations but again I can't find a single example of army rangers conducting a hostage rescue. They're a light infantry regiment, they have no reason to have that kind of capability. If you can cite any articles that show I'm wrong I'd appreciate it because "white" SOF isn't really my area of expertise.

Yeah, full kit is around 60-65k. 9k for first line gear and kit, 10.3k for rifle alone, 42k for their GPNVGs. And that’s just their standard loadout. Breach charges, K9, and more mission specific equipment will always be needed to best conduct the job. Edit: Look it up yourself if you don’t believe something. Also, I’m not accounting for the ‘government discount,’ if you will. The prices are as civilians would be offered the same units.
These guys are rarer than Delta and got the same gear. Probably less than some 300 of them, wonder how they would compare against GIGN though. Edit: ‘Rarer’ does not mean ‘Better’, so stop replying to me that “dElTa iS sO mUcH bEtTeR, lOL u DuMb iDi0t, tHeSe GuYs sUcK, tHeRe r0oM cLeArInG iS TeN tImEs wOrSe tHaN mInE LoL, gEt wReCkEd” just cause you don’t understand what the hell the word ‘Rarer’ means. Rarer isn’t even a complicated word, it’s a word any 7 year old can understand with ease.

I love people shitting on their tactics, as if these keyboard warriors are experts. They are a hostage rescue team, so they obviously specialize in dynamic entries, and they have reasons for doing what they do. Guys are standing in front of doors because the hostage is the highest priority. They probably have different scenarios and imagine parts of the kill house don't exist for training.
@@KianoUyMOOP that’s because they believe they can hide behind the wall of anonymity that is the internet. They think It gives them permission to be dumbasses
@@aquapig134 you actually are doing the hostage good dead, hostage takes higher priority over anybody. Hostage rescues are the most dangerous for a reason, but I’m not gonna give you a fkin lecture
Back In 1980 when HRT was born HRT did get their help by Delta LAPD SWAT and Force Recon(Especially 1st Force) still today Force Recon Provide Sniper School in Quantico(which is hardest sniper school in USMC) and Maritime Capabilities along with MARSOC CSO's also Tier system is not combat ratingit's funding remember that beside marine did the tier 1 mission back in WW2 you want proof? i will provide it for you and if necessary Force can conduct Tier 1 mission capabilities they just remove IHR mission but they can conduct IHR if necessary
***** Maybe. But MARSOC Raiders isn't under JSOC like DEVGRU, CAG, & ISA. MARSOC Raiders fall under USSOCOM which supposedly tier 2 units. And it be pretty stupid to have another tier 1 unit when you already have 2.
There is a training pipeline in place it's a 2 week selection followed by a 36 week operator training course. HRT is a full time job not part time so you can get guys to that level. I am currently in the process of working on a contract to work as a tactical Medic for the FBI, I am from a SOF background (NG SF)and have worked with HRT in the past. The information I'm giving isn't a guess as it has been told to me from the Horses mouth.
SF selection is a bit different than most the ass whooping is only 3 weeks(before you go to the Q course and actually learn how to be an SF guy) but you have to be right in the mind. I've seen guys be in great shape not get selected because of lack of integrity. The biggest thing is if your thinking about it just do it, it's a lot of time dedicated to that lifestyle training and deployments. SF is the most deployed unit in SOCOM so stay in the gym and get your mind right.
@Malik Naw, they’ll send them there alive. By executing women and children until they surrender. Ruby ridge and waco gentlemen. What shining actual combat actions
A lot of these guys are former Tier 2 or Tier 1 military operators or like SWAT guys with lots of experience and obviously all of them still having what it takes to be in this line of work👊
Is that a real thing? I never heard anyone directly reference "Tier 1" or "Tier 2" or any other tier while I was in the army. That seems like it came from a video game.
@@selohcin Yes it the tier thing is a real thing they use it to compare sof forces like delta force is higher then 160th soar basically like a ranking system
@@tm3565 Who (exactly) does that? I never heard such nonsense even one time when I was in the military. You say "they", but you won't say who does this.
@@selohcin it’s not a real thing; officially in the military at least. But outside the military, people started using tiers because it sounds cooler i guess. Kinda like an iceberg tier list. Basically Tier 3: airborne and other shit Tier 2: Rangers, Green Beret, Raiders, Seals Tier 1: DEVGRU, Delta, SOG Don’t correct or call me stupid, im just telling you what people are saying
@@Old-Dog00 I’m not going to claim I’m an expert, but other NATO forces have way different ways to clear a building. Way more slow and steady. That doesn’t make it better or worse though.
They don't use these type of tactics anymore. At the beginning of GWOT the strategy was go in as fast as possible. It works when no one is expecting you to come. But at peak of GWOT (2005-2006) in Irag CAG had very big casualty rate because of this tactics like this. It's not just running and gunning anymore, it has evolved.
@@slonky821 Yeah I agree that it's used in certain scenarios but cqb isn't this anymore. Watch this if you haven't already ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4MpjNqmkBdE.html . It's cag in Iraq. You can describe it as running for the sake of running. It is not like that anymore.
Lol these cqb experts are most likely pog’s who’s combat experience was getting mortared on base and never left the wire. Or the gung-ho infantry types who never deployed
@@british1139 I would even go so far to suggest 99% of the ppl taking a dump on this video and expressing their "expert" opinion, haven't touched a real rifle in their entire life, let alone served.
I saw the acronym HRT and I thought, for a second, it stood for Human Resources Team. And then I thought, "Wow, they took sensitivity training to a whole new level!" Lol
@@selohcin Police attacking journalists is something that actually happened under the previous administration, compared to something you're speculating about under the current one.
@@Motorman2112 Incorrect. The FBI already raided James O'Keefe's house on the suspicion that he may have been sent documents that would embarrass the Biden family.
Well when they open the first door the clock is ticking on lives. Not that i have a clue except basics but id imagine these guys rush through a building because well... They are hostage rescue so when they go in its fast so they can get to the hostage before they really have a chance to return fire or execute the hostage Where as with regular military it doesnt really matter how quick you are as you're just trying to flush people out
@@frostbitepokin9520 nope depends on a lot of factors. there is a reason why SOF operators move slow instead of barging into rooms. these guys move fast because there might be a hostage that can get killed any second
Tomas Guzman Most of these guys are former SEALs, and Delta’s. Not all, since any FBI Agent with at least three years experience can try out for the team, but let’s be real, it takes an extraordinary person to survive the training to become a part of this team and I’ve heard that even former SEALs and Delta’s have failed or dropped out of the training, that should tell you something.
@@jlf13766 worked with them a fair amount and they have a selection program you will attend after a couple years as an SA. Here's the kicker a squad TL told me that contrary to popular belief less than a quarter of HRT has SOF experience before getting to the team.
What sets tier one tactical teams from other tactical teams is they aggressively go towards the threat to neutralize them and save any civilians. HRT, Devgru and the seals all move fast using the element of surprise inserting themselves into a dangerous situation so theyre trained to take the threats out quickly and keep each other safe. I have never seen hrt sit around for long at a call but have seen many swat teams not willing to go in to the threat. Hrt comes up with a plan quickly and executes it perfectly
Thats what lots of people dont get. SeALs and CAG are badass soldiers, but they are the 'Jack of all trades'. These guys are door kicking specialists and are the absolute best at it. Even calling it door kicking, kinda devalues what they do.
@@cheekboy7247 the SAS/SBS aren't just door kickers tho, they are all rounders who have a group specialized in door kicking. The FBI HRT equivalent would probably be the CTSFO of the UK police force.
They are fast, swift, accurate, and deadly I mean also look at how well they breach and enter rooms they are so well in tune with each other they real pros
As demonstrated at Ruby Ridge and Waco right? I mean those were real op's, not training. Hmmm went into Waco, knowing full well they were compromised, went anyway in their wannabe ninja gear and got their asses shot off. Then burned the survivors, kids and all. Well at least they got an accurate shot on the unarmed woman standing in the doorway holding her baby at Ruby Ridge. Dead, boom, just like that. Hell of a shot! Yep, they are pure ninja....not
@@iamfodder1017Ruby Ridge was one sniper with a bad shoot. It was terrible, but that does not discredit the entire organization. Especially now decades later. And WACO? Really? HRT wasn’t even a pert of that op. You so sound so terribly jaded. It’s a shame it’s not even over real facts.
I'm planning on joining, I read the requirements, and the youngest age I can make it into HRT is 26. 23 is the minimum age to become a field agent, and HRT requires at least 3 years as a field agent. IF I can pass the fitness test :/
@@kddreadlord5532 you can’t just sign a paper and get into the process. they lit choose the fbi field agents themselves. so your gonna have to be pretty damn good
Thats because they are, they aren't just the militaries assassins, they are the governments. FBI recruits ex-special operators for their teams aswell, but theres always been times where if the FBI needs information abroad they group with Devgru or some black listed special operations branch.
@@spacemanapeinc7202 Lol you think desk jockey field agents are these guys? Even if these are all agents with no SF background they are trained hand and hand with ex-SF or current SF guys.
@@hk4lyfe59 A) No, HRT does not conduct ATF raids B) Yes, I do know that people think they're clever, winking and nodding and saying clever shit like 'my suppressor identifies as a solvent trap' and then cry when they go to jail.
@@springbloom5940 I'm sticking to this format because i love it, thanks for starting it A) HRT literally stands for Home Raiding Tyrants, its literally under the "Hospitality" section on the FBI's website. B) can you see me winking and nodding right now? Do you want to zoom? I think you want to zoom.
Lets not forget training to shoot unarmed mothers holding their babies because the husband sawed off the barrel of a shotgun...after they offered to pay him to do it...or you know, killing all those inside compounds who follow weird religions when the local sheriff could have picked up the leader any morning inside the coffee shop. Disagree with a Democrat's position? You're next.
Its scary how fast they move and how expensive their gear is, seemingly even better than a lot of spec ops. When you take into account that the FBI is a domestic force, maybe our government is trying to tell us something...
Well they have a lot of former military, their training is basically identical to delta, and they work alongside t1 units in the middle east. Really the only difference between them & military sf is that they’re allowed to operate inside the USA as well, lol.
@@KronosOnPC They rescue hostages from domestic criminals, like that teen girl they rescued from her kidnapper in the woods in Idaho. They also deal with high profile criminals that are too dangerous to apprehend with a conventional unit. They’ve also deployed to overseas war zones with tier 1 spec ops units to arrest terrorists that are of interest to the FBI. What’s your point?
You're standing in a room with a gun, and suddenly 7 guys rush into the room running in different directions. You're going to get your face blown off before your brain has time to catch up on what's going on
@@cheekboy7247 there are strict laws laid out by the ATF (government) about what classifies a 'pistol.' if properly licensed, a rifle can be legally classified as a pistol substituting the rifles stock for an arm brace. to use a full rifle stock on a pistol is illegal so the meme is that as soon as you've put a stock on the pistol the team breaches your door
Lol second room in "Let me continue to fire on a target while also standing in front of a door to my side, not like doors are not bullet proof, i'm safe."
Good, they switched to training in the high ready position instead of low ready. I wouldn’t be surprised if they get trained by or with the assistance of SEALs, since the high port position is basically their signature
@@crackiechan4432 Well they are elite, for sure. But focus solely on hostage rescue. Kinda hard to compare it with delta who survives in literal warzones and are tasked with a variety of missions Edit:I think some of them deployed to Syria or something though.
This is actually incorrect; there is, indeed, a percentage that are fielded from SOF backgrounds, but the FBI has its own internal training and development pipeline; and, accordingly it's not uncommon to see field-operatives with considerable time in-grade, in-role w/ deployments as an intelligence attaché to SOF to eventually attempt HRT selection.
This is what happens when you don’t make an informed comment. You obviously have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. You didn’t do your research. The HRT is an FBI law enforcement unit composed entirely of Special Agents. ALL HRT operators _must_ have at least 3 years of professional experience as a Special Agent within the FBI, or they don’t qualify, no matter if you were DEVGRU, Delta, or anything of that nature. Some of them were SOF who joined the FBI after retiring from the military. But that’s just a small portion of them. The rest are all Special Agent with no military background. During training, these agents have to undergo rigorous training with MARSOC snipers, attend BUDs (Navy SEALS training) and train with Delta in order to become HRT operators. They also work alongside SEALS and Delta units to apprehend criminals overseas with links to complex FBI cases. So no, let’s not “stop right there”. You give too little credit to those who worked hard to be agents. Take a seat with a unit of HRT operators and ask them what they used to do for a living before being trained by SEAL and Delta personnel. The answers might surprise you, but no more than the fact that the former biologist in the unit can now kick your ass six ways to Sunday.
Military SOF units have been going hard on CQB/DA raids in the real world for almost 2 decades now. There is no replacement for hitting safe houses filled with hard hitting savages night after night. That being said, I'm sure many HRT members are prior SOF.
