How come a recorded training exercise has a better action sequence than any modern Hollywood movie? Great job with the camerawork. You can feel the tension from beginning to end. These high-octane snatch-and-grabs are the stuff of fiction. It's hard to believe that stuff like this really happens. I'd hate to see the aftermath of the real-life Ember Team. Fantastic coordination with the students and staff alike. A++ tradecraft
Move! Go! Go! Go! This capture and exfil moved along quickly. Northern Red showing how it's done, just like on the first video, "The Capability". Everyone in this team knows exactly where to be, and when to be there. It's a smooth running machine, and they get their high value target out. It brings back some memories.
Wonderful. Next time I’m gonna hold my 14.5” middy while I watch. Thank you BCM for building the best rifles in the game. Over 25k and she still runs like a champ. No compromises, just badass!
Because of performances like this one it’s why I always come back to BCM awesome video and just when I bought my second BCM rifle now I’m going to have to go and train with it 👌
Seems like it was loosely based on the ending of Black Powder Red Earth Yemen book 3. Such a cool video. Loved the first one and this one is right there with it. Can’t wait for new parts
It's affectionately joked that Black Powder Red Earth is just a stealth marketing excercise for BCM. I like to think of it as two entities that are mutual admirers. XD
When you're pinned down with the HVT. And then the Ember boys roll up. Fast, kinetic, frentic - completely different from Capability 1, which always felt like a classroom to me. Capability 1 - "I teach you" Capability 2 - "You show me what you have learnt"
Great camera work -- really shows how switched on you have to be to survive a dynamic 360deg threat environment with multiple funnels. I especially liked the shot from below the grate... Yeah, make sure you look down there, too.
I honestly would like to see an interview with all of the members from northern red. At least the ones that I’ve already been on video. There’s a couple of those dudes I would love to hear their bios.
This exemplifies the importance of getting together with your enemies ahead of time so the drill looks like a carefully choreographed reenactment. Without that type of commitment the driver of the Hvt vehicle might do something stupid like throw it in reverse, crank the wheel right and stomp the throttle or maybe not just sit there waiting.
Having been in this situation FOR REAL, I hate to say it buy all this LARP training goes to shit when you actually have people with REAL ammo REALLY trying to kill you. There is an unrealistic element of simply knowing that training like this is not only non-lethal, but SAFE. Every guy here KNOWS they can't get hurt, and knowing that makes one very brave. I've seen men train like this for years, kill it everytime on the course, and freeze up IRL just knowing there's an actual threat nearby. I'm not saying that this training isn't valuable, it drills procedure and equipment familiarity into your motor skills, but there are people in these comments who clearly do not understand the difference between the safety of training and having ONE junkie in a 3rd story window who can take out half your team without even trying. My point... diving through a car window into the lap of an armed individual while yelling "Gun! Gun! Gun!" is a GREAT way to learn to get yourself killed. NOBODY should EVER do that. It happens here ONLY because there is no actual threat. MANY things happen in this training video because there is no actual threat. IRL, at least half this team would be in body bags if they did the things they do here and there was an actual opposing deadly force. For the people who think this is "awesome" and fantasize about taking out bad guys in situations like this... PLEASE understand that when it is over, some of your buddies, or YOU, WILL be dead.
Are ballistic glasses enough protection for utm rounds? I know they're difficult to aim through, but I'd think full face mask would be a better choice.
It's affectionately joked that BPRE is a stealth marketing exercise for BCM. ;) Also, BPRE's writer/creator/head honcho Jon Chang produced and directed BCM's American Gunfighter and Capability vids.
Typically, this kind of coordinated unit action is only taught to units who are working as dedicated groups. That means military or certain high risk law enforcement teams.
As of the viewing of this video today 33 Taliban have given it a thumbs down. Seriously who gives this shit the thumbs down? Only two people: The actual enemy and some wannabe meal team six ice cream operator who thinks that he’s Jason Corn I mean Bourne.
