WEBVTT

00:00.009 --> 00:02.670
So today we are at small arms golf is

00:02.680 --> 00:05.480
AM four qualification range with a zero

00:05.489 --> 00:08.270
range . The troops , troopers will be

00:08.279 --> 00:10.446
going to the group in zero range first

00:10.446 --> 00:12.668
to zero their M fours with their A cogs

00:12.668 --> 00:14.723
and then they will be moving over to

00:14.723 --> 00:16.890
the table six qualification where they

00:16.890 --> 00:18.946
will shoot 40 rounds at 40 different

00:18.946 --> 00:21.112
targets and try to hit 23 to qualify .

00:21.489 --> 00:23.656
They hit 30 they get sharpshooter . If

00:23.656 --> 00:25.639
they hit 36 they get a uh expert

00:25.649 --> 00:28.459
qualification . The , the range is a

00:28.469 --> 00:30.780
great opportunity . Uh I love shooting ,

00:30.790 --> 00:33.299
I love uh improving myself , especially

00:33.310 --> 00:36.860
on a range . Um And the army gives you

00:36.869 --> 00:38.980
tons of opportunities to go out and ,

00:38.980 --> 00:42.049
and shoot and just have a good day in

00:42.060 --> 00:44.319
general . There's no better feeling .

00:44.330 --> 00:47.599
It's just the adrenaline the , you know ,

00:47.689 --> 00:50.279
the , the way your heart races and it's

00:50.290 --> 00:53.549
just amazing to uh just hold the power

00:53.560 --> 00:55.720
in your hands that the M four gives .

00:55.729 --> 00:57.618
We're conducting an M 320 grenade

00:57.618 --> 00:59.810
launcher qualification . Um Not only

00:59.819 --> 01:01.930
are we trying to familiarize our guys

01:01.930 --> 01:03.986
that have never shot it ? We're also

01:03.986 --> 01:06.097
trying to make them proficient in the

01:06.097 --> 01:08.208
weapon system . Um and give them some

01:08.208 --> 01:08.079
more confidence when they have to use

01:08.088 --> 01:11.249
it . So when we do go to NTC or Lord

01:11.259 --> 01:13.592
forbid , we go to an actual combat zone ,

01:13.592 --> 01:15.648
they know how to do it and they know

01:15.648 --> 01:17.648
how to get themselves home with the

01:17.648 --> 01:17.348
weapons systems and the skills that

01:17.359 --> 01:19.359
they've acquired in using them . Uh

01:19.359 --> 01:21.359
These qualifications here allow our

01:21.359 --> 01:23.137
troopers to ensure that they're

01:23.137 --> 01:25.359
familiarized with the weapon . That way

01:25.359 --> 01:25.129
if we would ever have to use these

01:25.139 --> 01:27.839
weapons in a scenario , uh They are

01:27.849 --> 01:29.905
able to accurately put fires down on

01:29.905 --> 01:31.905
the target . Uh Favorite part about

01:31.905 --> 01:34.127
going to the range is actually allowing

01:34.127 --> 01:36.293
not only myself but my soldiers to get

01:36.293 --> 01:38.293
trigger time . That way they can be

01:38.293 --> 01:40.460
familiarized and proficient with their

01:40.460 --> 01:42.571
weapon systems . My guys are out here

01:42.571 --> 01:44.571
right now and I've been nothing but

01:44.571 --> 01:46.349
impressed with how they handled

01:46.349 --> 01:46.239
themselves with how they been shooting .

01:46.650 --> 01:48.594
Um It's really given me a boost of

01:48.594 --> 01:50.761
confidence in them and trust in them ,

01:50.761 --> 01:52.817
seeing them shoot and like gain more

01:52.817 --> 01:54.706
confidence with themselves in the

01:54.706 --> 01:56.706
weapon system and just the level of

01:56.706 --> 01:58.817
comfort that they have with it , like

01:58.817 --> 02:00.872
it seems like they're all naturals .

02:00.872 --> 02:02.872
Every platoon in a mounted unit has

02:02.872 --> 02:05.039
grenade launchers , usually tanks have

02:05.039 --> 02:07.206
them as their loaders or in our case ,

02:07.206 --> 02:09.317
we have them in dismounts . It's good

02:09.317 --> 02:11.483
to keep the enemy suppressed . It's an

02:11.483 --> 02:13.889
A weapon . So obviously it's good for

02:14.389 --> 02:16.610
fire superiority in the battlefield .

02:16.619 --> 02:18.675
So the qualification consists of six

02:18.675 --> 02:20.940
tasks , um three in a day shoot . So

02:20.949 --> 02:23.770
you're shooting six targets in the day

02:23.779 --> 02:25.835
at three different stations and then

02:25.839 --> 02:28.610
you have two target or two stations

02:28.619 --> 02:30.841
under a seaburn environment . So you're

02:30.841 --> 02:33.063
donning your pro mask . Um And then the

02:33.063 --> 02:35.063
last qualification table is a night

02:35.063 --> 02:37.899
shoot . However , we are only executing

02:37.910 --> 02:41.539
the first three tasks um during the day .

02:41.669 --> 02:43.780
So today's training consists of small

02:43.780 --> 02:45.336
arms range density . We are

02:45.336 --> 02:47.502
specifically tasked with the 320 range

02:47.502 --> 02:49.809
where we're facilitating the brigades ,

02:49.910 --> 02:52.649
uh small arms qualifications prior to

02:52.660 --> 02:54.771
us as PN for the October arrangements

02:54.771 --> 02:56.882
or the field problem . Specifically ,

02:56.882 --> 02:58.993
we're looking to qualify with the 320

02:58.993 --> 03:00.771
ensure that our troopers are uh

03:00.771 --> 03:02.771
familiarized with the weapon system

03:02.771 --> 03:04.993
prior to uh exec squad sticks for squad

03:04.993 --> 03:07.500
sticks . Uh We are gonna be dividing

03:07.509 --> 03:10.550
our platoons up uh to focus on squad

03:10.559 --> 03:12.559
sticks . So our dismounted elements

03:12.570 --> 03:14.792
that are within the Bradleys moving out

03:14.792 --> 03:16.959
and conducting their team movements uh

03:16.959 --> 03:19.237
to conduct reconnaissance and security .

03:19.237 --> 03:21.403
Uh Primarily we're gonna be focused on

03:21.403 --> 03:23.570
reconnaissance of objectives while the

03:23.570 --> 03:25.570
other half of our Bradley crews are

03:25.570 --> 03:25.419
moving up to conduct gunnery during

03:25.429 --> 03:27.485
October . I mean , the qualification

03:27.485 --> 03:29.596
will only take about five minutes per

03:29.596 --> 03:31.651
iteration . Um After they are done ,

03:31.651 --> 03:33.818
each troop trooper is released back to

03:33.818 --> 03:36.039
their NC OS where the NC Os will teach

03:36.050 --> 03:38.389
them more about dismounted training and

03:38.440 --> 03:40.830
how to maneuver through the woods as a

03:40.839 --> 03:43.509
scout dismount . Um In addition , we

03:43.520 --> 03:45.949
will also be doing a night shoot where

03:45.960 --> 03:47.960
they will get 20 rounds to shoot at

03:47.960 --> 03:50.860
5800 m targets to verify that they know

03:50.869 --> 03:52.925
how to use their pecs and shoot with

03:52.925 --> 03:56.210
mvgs on to the range density . Overall ,

03:56.220 --> 03:58.100
it's just a individual marksman

03:58.110 --> 03:59.943
training to make sure that every

03:59.943 --> 04:02.110
soldier knows how to use their primary

04:02.110 --> 04:04.332
weapon system . Um It's important to do

04:04.332 --> 04:06.300
that because once you need the

04:06.309 --> 04:08.440
individual to know exactly how to use

04:08.449 --> 04:10.505
their weapon system in order for the

04:10.505 --> 04:12.560
squad to work . So this is the first

04:12.560 --> 04:14.560
step to making sure that each squad

04:14.560 --> 04:14.429
knows what they're doing as dispensed .

04:16.218 --> 04:18.479
Um , shooting is fun . I wish we did

04:18.489 --> 04:21.058
more often . To be honest with you , I

04:21.069 --> 04:24.319
got a big army . Go army be navy .

04:24.688 --> 04:27.940
Thank you very much . Yes . The army is

04:27.950 --> 04:30.061
uh kind of exposing me to a life that

04:30.061 --> 04:32.228
I've never really thought I'd like get

04:32.228 --> 04:34.489
to live . I love not only shooting the

04:34.500 --> 04:37.559
M four but the uh M 17 as well or

04:37.570 --> 04:40.799
handgun that we shoot , um , shoot the

04:40.809 --> 04:44.380
240 bravo and the 50 cal browning man .

04:44.529 --> 04:46.640
I just , every range I've went to has

04:46.640 --> 04:49.089
just been ecstatic and it's , it's just

04:49.100 --> 04:51.350
an amazing time . Uh If you're looking

04:51.359 --> 04:54.619
for a kick job to do , you know , come

04:54.630 --> 04:56.519
join the 19 Delta world , it's an

04:56.519 --> 04:59.130
amazing time and you get to get to

04:59.140 --> 05:01.362
shoot a lot of cool guns , get to drive

05:01.362 --> 05:02.410
some pretty cool vehicles as Well , so .
