Field Manual Military Tactics vol 1 

0:06 salvo 7:07 creeping barrage 14:34 hull down position 18:40 sea kamakasi

Perfection. Absolute perfection. I have learned even more tactics. Nice work.

Still hoping they cover guerrilla tactics at some point

I just want to say thank you because I am in a history class we currently learning about a lot of the wars like Vietnam the world wars the Korean war and without you it would be a lot harder for me to do it and I've also shared your channel with my entire history class and my teacher is now giving us examples of your video to help us learn so I just want to say thank you

Out of all the education channels on RU-vid simple history has taught me the most, I love the basic animation style; it doesn’t take away from the audio content but are always great visuals. Y’all struck gold when making this channel!

We all have our favorite RU-vid subscriptions but Simple History is definitely something special

Oh man these "tactics" vids are great!! CANNOT WAIT until volume 2!!

IIRC the British postwar infantry one written by Montgomery started with "The task of the infantry is to close with and destroy the enemy."

Just found a mess of these from 66 an 67 at a warehouse store bought them for 5$ a manual really interesting info in them.

Oh my, I am really going to love this series! Outstanding quality content as always. Thanks for putting in the hard work to keep the masses entertained.

(WW3 happens) Officer: Every man who has Military knowledge, STEP FORWARD! Me: *SIR, I STUDIED SIMPLE HISTORY, SIR!*

PLEASE make this a series! More tactics use and history needed! So many field manuals with so much info you could cover, like troop movement Technics, ambush technics, survival skills would be a big hit.

This is a great way to upload a ton of content at once instead of a bunch of 6 minute videos! Thanks

My grandfathers ship had a running night gun battle with multiple suicide boats off Okinawa during the war. The low profile made radar detection difficult but their operators were top notch and used said radar to train thr 5" guns on target. Secondary explosions were seen but its figured more were sunk since the light construction of the boats allowed some shells to pass through merely punching holes but still getting results.

On the 1st July 1916 at the Somme the 36th Ulster Division consisting of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, Royal Irish Rifles and the Royal Irish Fusiliers were tasked to take the Schwaben Redoubt which was the most fortified German position. Just 15 minutes before the 7 day barrage ended they moved 30yrds away from the German lines. As soon as the barrage lifted they disobeyed orders a second time and ran to the German trenches and was in the trench before the Germans got out of the dugouts. They were that fast they got shelled by their own artillery only to over take it. They bust through 2 and a half miles of enemy lines being the only British division to take all objectives that day. The British commanders had troops on reserves but never sent them to help the 36th but sent them to divisions which wasn't at the first enemy line, if they had sent the reserved forces to the 36th they could have encircled left or right to help the divisions beside them. Being fired at by 3 sides, taking heavy casualties and low on ammunition the 36th Ulster Division had to fall back in the early hours of the 2nd. A good example of using artillery and why sometimes orders has to be broken. The Somme could've been an success if only they reinforced the 36th Ulster Division. They make me feel proud to be British and Northern Irish especially when multiple family members was in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers during WW1 and 1 of them sadly passing sometime after the Somme due to infections after being wounded by a grenade.

Even more educational content, gooood, goooooood.

Please do more field manuals

Murphy's law of combat - "Try to look unimportant, the enemy might be low on ammunition." Miss it dearly but sincerely hope one day we can resolve our conflicts via diplomacy and not by shedding the blood of our youth. War does nothing but corrode every facet of life it touches.

15:10 that T-34-85 depression 😳

"In order to become a *militeri stratejis*🗿, watch Simple History's Field Manual Military Tactics Vol 1" - Sun Tzu, The Art of War

love the added sound effect of the quivering steel during the salvo segment

They need to do some videos on logistics tactics so people can get a better view on why certain tactics were used

love the content man, love watching when waiting for things to load and stuff, keep it up dude

Strategy and tactics are super interesting! I hope for more!

It’s kinda funny how you use a T-34 as a example in the animation for held down tactics even though T-34 don’t even have enough gun depression to actually do that since they only had -3 degrees

That gun depression is unreal for that T-34-85

Time stamps: 0:05 - Salvo (Miliraty Tactic) 7:05 - Creeping Barrage (Military Tactic) 14:32 - Hull-Down Position (Tank Tactic) 18:39 - Sea Kamikazi (Military Tactic: World War Two)

I was only familiar with the creeping barrage. This is an very informative video. I am thankful for its existence.

Beautiful. More tactics to use on my younger brother. Thankyou Simple History! 😀

Turrets were developed to protect the gun crews, not allow ships to fire on multiple targets in different directions. Yes, there were battleship on battleship engagements, however there was also battleship engagements of smaller ship classes where the battleship guns could outrange those smaller ships.

This video had been recommended to me for at least a month and I finally decided to watch it. Worth it

Great compilation! I really hope there will be vol 2 soon!

The sea kamikazes remind me of the IRGC speedboats nowadays. With the exception that those are useless.

Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI): A salvo technique capable of being performed by a single gun by firing first at a high angle, then at a low angle that makes the two trajectories resolve to the same target and timing the second shot to have the same Time on Target. Modern field guns can use even more shots with varying loads, making for devastating salvos when used in combination with other guns in the battery

Cant wait to try these tactics

my favorite FM's were 2' from the us army = FM -5' -25' & FM-5'-31' great quality information and kept simple

Hello Simple History! Would you concider making a Video of the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809? I would love to see an episode about this especialy because i am Tyrolean myself. Yours Moseschmidt

Should make a video about different types of battle ships during centuries.

Love this idea, Feild tactics on video, looking forward to seeing more videos

Thats why currently, we have developed more tactics to help with terrain. Crest drills and turret down positions can hide an armored vehicle quiet well. Most times recce will dismount and bound up the hill slowly till they can get eyes on. Then, they can coordinate with the driver and gunner to be more accurate on position. Or they'll call up another call sign to pull hasty attacks and rush the enemy. All depends on situation.

Keep your quality and educational videos coming! You are very talented thank you for your time!!

The shell from the Iowa class battleships weighed about 2000 pounds…. That doesn't mean the shell had 2000 pounds of explosive in it. HE or bombardment shells weighed 1900lbs and had a bursting charge of about 41 lbs depending on which version they were using.

My favorite channel by far.

Outstanding amount of info! I'll have to listen to it like 10 more times to retain it

I know it's a touchy subject, but I would love to see a video on the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin.

We still use a form of creeping barrage. We use phase lines and radios to control fires and infantry movement across the battle space in order to suppress/destroy the enemy while mitigating loss of friendly forces due to our own artillery and mortar rounds using the safe distance and danger close parameters distributed during mussion planning from supporting fire support elements. You use those instead of legacy distributions in doctrine manuals as charges and projectiles most likeky have changed the radius requirements to mitigate friendly casualties.

When its a 30min video you know its gonna be good 💪🏻

This is one of my favorite videos! I hope they continue with this theme!

It Would be funny if a naval ship initiated a salvo and the ship rolled over from recoil. In Mother Russia Salvo sink our boat!

Could you please do a video on Reginald Jones, the man who tricked Germany into repainting their entire U-boat fleet and made the German bombers drop their bombs on empty fields. Thank you

each & everyone of your subs are well deserved ! what an excellent, informative channel !

Thanks for the long video! This channel never lets me down.

*Mowing The Lawn:* The tactic I'm supposed to be using right now instead of watching this video.

Adjust fire over...grid, direction in mils, distance to target and discription of target...over Adjust fire out... Splash over... Splash out... Add 400 over... Add 400 out... Splash over... Splash out... Drop 200 left 100 over... Drop 200 left 100 out... Splash over... Splash out... Add 100 right 50 over.... Add 100 right 50 out... Splash over... Splash out... Fire for effect over... Fire for effect out... Splash over... Splash out... Repeat over... Repeat out.. Splash over... Splash out... Target destroyed...new mission over... New mission, send it over... New direction in mils, distance and discription...etc, etc... Continue until either guns run out of ammo, there is nothing left to kill in your sector or priorties of fire shift to a different unit. Simple, easy, what's the problem?

Hull-down positions were never intended to be permanent. We trained on having multiple positions, and to fire from one before backing out and moving to one of the alternates. If the enemy was able to close the range, we were to fall back to a new line. The only time my tank ever got shot in the @$$ (as seen in the video) was when our captain wanted to get some shuteye and deliberately gave a "die in place" order during training exercises at the National Training Center... we were not allowed to withdraw as OPFOR overran our positions, so we got wiped out, so the captain got his forty winks - before being called in front of the Lieutenant Colonel.

6:34 salvos are still used for missiles, you would salvo multiple missiles out to overwhlem the enemy and ensure atleast 1 missile would make it though

Great series I hope you continue 👍🏻

Love that the thumbnail is a reference to to main menu in the first CoD

Thank you for wonderful content. Simple history is awesome!!!,🤘🏾🤓🤘🏾

hope there are tank tactics coming soon

Pls make a "How to get killed manual". I've seen it before, I just want it to be animated now.

My man's became a battlefield cutscene creator

I want the vol. 2 🤩

Love your videos man keep it up 💪💪

salvos on old wood ships where fired in pairs with everyother gun firing so when the guns recoiled and pulled the ropes attached to them to stop them the ropes wouldnt damage the walls of the ships

The iowa battleship is currently in San Diego and I completely recommend to go see it as it is now a museum and it is really cool, you can also fond submarines and an aircraft carrier plus many modern battleships all tho you can't visit the modern ones lol

Well a writer here, thank you for making it as easy to understand. I had no idea about how to make fictional armies fight

Can we get one for Stonks? Stonks is a real military term no joke, it's not just that meme.

Just found this channel, and I loved it. Thank you

My dad gave me his book when I was a kid. I've still got it. 😆

Where's the "Switching to your pistol is faster than reloading?"

Man, my abs are getting awesome from leaning forward to click off these ads!

FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE

This is really awesome can't wait for vol2

Nice Video Bro,youre history content is the best

After see this now I apply to WT, WOWS, WOT

Aw man I wish you added the chapter things which can tell me where each tactic section starts

longer content? amazing!

very good

"History of the word 'Salvo"" - Simple History 2021

Yes love the uploads coming in hot!

Every tactic is good tactic. But every other tactic is outdated.

This is awesome to watch if you wanna learn about military

Lol Ads are timed perfectly xD

"We seem to be out of field manuals sir."

SIMPLE HISTORY YOURE ABOUT TO HIT 4 MILLION

The Panzer 4 ausf. H at 5:56 is probably going to get destroyed

I love your channel

cool tactics might use later

good to know in this scenario

Fast Churchill isn't real, it can't hurt you. Fast Churchill:

FM 5-31 shown in the thumbnail is the US Army’s field manual on boobytraps

Thanx 4 great job

Salvo in Latin stands for "I save" or smth along those lines

6:46 "obsolete" even tho cannon fire has it's advantages over missiles and rokets

SH is just killin it lately!

If you want to learn more about the military, based upon separate MOS's, I recommend the fat electrican. Yeah he has a comedic approach, but it's still informative about the military as well

How about an Video on the greatest Canadian Commander of WW1? Sir Arthur Currie

The hull-down position is very interesting. I play War Thunder, which supposedly has completely accurate vehicle specs. In trying to obtain a hull-down position, I almost always find my gun does not have enough depression to hit the enemy tank on the other side. Pulling forward enough to accomplish this exposes the rest of my tank. So, in what is claimed to be a historically-accurate simulation, I've found the hull-down position to be far less useful then I imagined.

HI FROM BRAZIL, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL, LOVE THAT STORIES!
