there are reportedly 200,000 kurds in the Peshmerga. Mosul was invaded in 2014 by 500 ISIS and the Peshmerga fled Erbil, their capital, without firing a shot
This is why sand people are hard to fight. They are either REALLY dumb or actually decent and differentiating between the two is hard
They are not good at conventional warfare
The sand people are easily distracted. But they'll soon be back. And I'm greater numbers
they were spread across the zone and were not massed in any strategic number and no they are not contentional in the sense they are going to field tank bns
they are good at guerrilla warfare
I wish xen was not on duty so he could lol cow at this convo
It takes 1 half way decent Sandie to lead a pack of retards
eh their ncos are fucking privates with more money
all the officers I met were dog shit at the unit level
I honestly think that our grunts would get their asses kicked in a fair fight w terry
The Kurds are using german guns to get access to germany and sweden
Small arms against small arms. No cas or arty
Only because they underestimated them
depends on which strain @RedRightHand
the foreigners are fairly dangerous also
they can rock NVGs, kit and shoot and move in small teams and will actually close distance with you
depends on who is around at a given time in a specific region they are a very varied enemy in honesty
I've met some shit hot grunt squad leaders. Better than 90% of the officers I've encountered. But average across the army and marines? I think that terry would win
Havent fought taliban personally just studied the fuck out them but my chance may be coming with the shift in that area etc
biggest heroin area fell to tali
and that was 82nd/CAG land and was a nasty place to fight so
if we fill in there and augment, I see some very big reality checks in the future
Make your men shoot and move. Close w and destroy the enemy. I've seen some embarrassing footage coming out of that country
yeah I am not being stationary being a medium task org we are all about tempo and speed
👍🏻
I lose manaeuver im fugggeddd
Is tempo and stuff something that's taught officially or something the "commander" instills?
I have us drop ramp on contact and gtfo
tempo is talked about
some preach it few practice it
Ever hear of the blitzkrieg?
My cousin's husband almost died fighting the Taliban
watch units just get shit canned at NTC/JRTC by trying to fight off their vehicles
they will crack the trucks open on you, there is so many ATGMs in that fight I want to be the fuck away from vehicles as possible
they are tow/javelin magnets in those settings
It's kinda like watching Tom Brady run a 2 minute drill. Dictating the tempo of the battlefield forces your enemy to react to your movements
3ID was just having entire plts get catastrophic kills
yup
