I’ve been watching you for probably close to ten years now. I’m active duty now and have learned WAAY more from you than I EVER have from my leadership. Thank you for these amazingly informative videos.

One update is needed to address drone and UAV. This is great content. Brings you back to an OD green book and a written exam while surviving death by power point.

Outstanding presentation once again. When the M249 SAW came out in the late 1980s it was a dream come true for me. Prior I was an M-60 machinegunner and I hated the gun because it was cumbersome for my size. I took the opportunity then to be an M249 SAW gunner. I loved it's weight, firepower, reliability, accuracy, and ease of maintaining. Being a Paratrooper once upon a time, it was easier to jump with. I never got hung up with my weapons jump case getting snagged on the seat when go time went. The SAW was a great base of fire weapon for the fire time for suppression of enemy fire and fluidity of movement when possible. I was able to carry more ammo and have everyone in the team carry a spare drum when needed.

It’s crazy you don’t have more subs and views, the editing and production quality on your more recent videos is fantastic! Really impressed with this one in particular. Keep up the good work👌

Good stuff Brent, always appreciate your videos. Hope you're doing well; been missing the live streams lately.

Great information, Brent! Appreciate your hard work!!

If you did a shot every time he says “Weapon System” you will die. Much love. Love the channel. Keep up the awesome content.

Thanks for being Awesome, Brent0331!!! Looking forward to more Camouflage Effectiveness Videos and USMC SOP's!! 🤠👍 THANKS AGAIN, BRENT!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Great info as always.

Love the infantryman’s guide series!

I remember watching you as a 7th grader in awe of this stuff. Now I’m in the process of getting a contract for the navy. Thanks for everything you do and keep it up!

Thank you mr Brent. I’m surprised by the low views on this video you did an excellent job at explaining all the roles of each infantry squads elements

Awesome content as always. Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾

I love your content. Can you please make video about individual movement during travel in terrain out of combat? How to stay hidden durring move, which places are best to move, how to think about picking way to target with good positioning to potential enemy posts/patrol...

Hey, Brent. Soon-to-be-2Lt (USMC) Here. Heading to TBS soon, and trying to get started on studying. You and Dr. Larsen were different branches, so how much overlap is there in USMC and US Army tactics, verbage, terminology, etc? Trying not to confuse myself. Also, for all of the Amazon book list, are basically all of the books applicable? Or should I just stick to the USMC's MCDP pubs?

ACOG is life, Rah!

I love the infantryman’s guide with a passion.

Class is in session bros!! Nice table full of black ass rifles too 😂😂! See you soon dawg 🇺🇸 🇺🇲

Great stuff Brent

Semper Fi Devil Dog! Damn Bro! You get some! You make us all keep the honor of the United States Marine Corps! Outstanding sir!

Outstanding

Wooo you got some pep in your step on this one!

Good stuff brother.

Another great episode of infantryman's guide I'd love to see a new enemy weapons video on near-peir threats, especially China. Not much is known comply about standard Chinese weapons and I know it's almost impossible to get your hands on most PLA weapons but it would be intresting if you could do some digging and maybe do a basic briefing of how to operate the weapons and try and make do without physical examples

Outstanding video Brent.

Great presentation as always Brent! ♠️🎩🎱🎯🇺🇲🏁🇺🇦🌻🌼🏵️💮🌺🏴‍☠️🏹

Outstanding video!

Awesome video and lessons learned ❤❤❤

You rock bro. Thanks for your time and effort. What's up from AK.

Great video. BUT considering some of the conflicts we see atm: Ukraine, Syria, Myanmar, Parts of Middle-East (as always)...we see another role being standardized: UAV/FPV Drone Operator. Also, Thermal is a killer, does somebody with that (when rest of squad doesn't) constitute something similar to a Cmd/RTO?

Thank you.

Great video

The m-249 SAW/ M-240 GPMG, the M-203 (or equivalent,) or a LAW/ AT-4/ Carl Gustav/ RAW for dug in positions.

DM’s were issued the Mk12 after the M16A4. The DM version of the M27 came much later. As a prior USMC DM, I’m curious as to why enemy sharpshooters/snipers were left out of the priorities list.

In an ambush don't fire your LMG until the enemy fires there LMG and put fire on it with your LMG , and radio or como elements who can call Air and artillery , reinforcements ! C and C Elements all simultaneously ! In first 15 seconds.

Great info!👍

Always remember TP

Hello good vieo, could you try the rocky Spanish COE uniform? The unit was dissolved in 1996, but the uniform cammo seems very interesting to me, greetings from Spain

Top!💪💪💪

Brent, would you mind making a video covering radio communication?

I love the updated Marine Rifle Squad publication (I noticed that was where the first snip it picture came from) but with the new updates to the Marine Squad, do we expect a newer Marine Rifle Squad publication to come out soon?

I hear a lot of talk about billits but what about armor piercing billits?

I have the AR15 that uses 300AAC

I also can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. Another great video and FJB 🖕

2:42 Targeting a technical... Grenade launcher beats individual mid-cal rifle, but what about 50bmg? Or other hardened positions (if RPG not available)

Reference 6:35. What variation is your M27? I've never seen a barrel that long on one, before.

What upper, barrel, and bipod are you using for the mag fed automatic rifle you presented?

Is this Sig m250 any good?

Brent in a Civilian Territorial Defense Force team here in the U.S. we should make sure that each team and squad's Riflemen should have the same rifles say Mini-14, Mini-30, AK Variants, M-4/ AR Variants, SKS, etc. correct?

I believe an a-10 would be the best weapon system for mass formations or dug in position

If you think about magic/armor advantage and weaknesses in JRPGs, even the Pokemon series, you'll realize you were setting target precedence according to your findings and/or known combat practice not unlike what Brent mentions.

or your enemy could have updated versions of everything you have, including night vision and thermals. train up.

Helle ok ok 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

i like how the command and control guy looks like evil copy of ian mccollum.

👏🏼

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

the marine corps using 5.56 DMRs is definitely an anomaly. uk, germany, russia, even the other branches of the american military prefer larger caliber. i would argue a 5.56 DMR is similar to the army using an LMG as an automatic rifle; out of place.

I guess mortars will be less needed in future modern world. Today we need more computer technicians to counter cyber crimes.

Good stuff brother!

Why the vehicle gotta be light skinned!?

One point of disagreement - the overall job of a MG gunner is suppressive fire if you are in a combat advance. Keep their heads down while you close with and engage the enemy. Riflemen and grenadiers (thumpers) should be suppressing enemy flanking and opposing mgs. Fire and maneuver.

Anything about Small Unit Tactics?

I would think radio operators or drone guys would take top priority over an officer. The fight is over when the bombs start landing! God forbid it be Mr. Ardie!

The M-249 says it can accept magazines but it generally is not recommended as it doesn't work very well.

Dam good stuff.

Didn’t see your new video post, RU-vid is screwing with your Algorithm, I’ll try unsubscribing then resubscribing. Let you know next video if that helped.

So what I've heard is command and control and radio operators.

i wonder how a Designated Shotgunner would be

Ah that’s the good stuff

Very Good - Thank You ! ! 🙂😎👍

Good stuff Brent! Love the video!

Perfect !! 🙂 thanks for video Brent

great video 👍🏻

Hello, could you try the rocky Spanish COE uniform? The unit was dissolved in 1996, but the uniform seems very interesting to me, greetings from Spain

Taking down the top target precedence down makes the fight easier. Every level you know off the list - the less effective the enemy can fight.

Outstanding ! Thank you. The only gear I don't see in your list in the pinned comment is the butt pack used on your Eagle H-Harness set-up.

Excellent breakdown and clearly relayed. Thanks Brent. Nate

Awesome! Military stuff goes deep - some NATO allies have still not heard of anything like this.

hey can you do some videos relating to helicopters, like loading,unloading etc?

Outstanding as always.

Thank you

I recognize the threat matrix chart from another great channel run by a certain Doc 😁

What's a POG?

Thanks for the knowledge transfer...🇺🇸🪖👊
