Training solutions for infantry units
Welcome to this page dedicated to tactics video analysis. Here, we delve into the heart of the action to dissect every move, identify mistakes and highlight things done well. These videos, taken from various conflicts, are valuable resources to help us prepare optimally.
0.10s Individual grenade throw without support it's dangerous.
0.47s Soldier says grenade at high angle. I warn enemy of my attention.
1.53s Enemy in the back soldiers are in the trench and intertwined, before advancing I check my rear.
In general, there's a lot of shouting and shouting orders, the combat is not silent, if I speak I reveal myself a silent night combat would have been less intense and more effective.
0.19s Setting up the ambush, a soldier passes in front of the gun, which is dangerous. It's essential to always consider the ideal location in the event of a skirmish.
0.30s The soldier with the camera reacts well by returning fire at this distance, but it's worth noting that returning fire while standing behind your comrades can be dangerous.
The ambush started 10 seconds ago, less than 100 meters away. The three soldiers at the front should already be firing back aggressively, dispersing and moving away from the hot spot.
During the video, at this distance, you have two choices: either carry out a risky assault maneuver, or stall. The soldiers are too close together, especially at the beginning. It's imperative to take space and withdraw. The grenade throw with support is well executed.
0.14s to 0.30s Assault of three soldiers, no support, shooting behind troops, shooting while running , three things not to do .
1.36s 4 infantrymen encircle the target, even if the shots are to the ground, the manoeuvre is dangerous.
2.03s At the end, In this sequence, the soldier with the camera is firing at target A, while the infantryman on the right is firing at target B on the right, about 200m away. Between the two soldiers, about 15 m friendly soldiers who are also working on target A, the sequence is dangerous because of the risk of fratricidal shooting and multidirectional enemy .
A night maneuver with support and line assault would have been more judicious.
0.22s Good reaction to the grenade countdown.
0.26s The first soldier goes to the door alone, support would have been preferable.
0.29s He opens the angle of the door to fire and returns to the spot, losing the angle he gained.
2.07s It can be seen that the manoeuvre is to the left of the rest of the section, a single line facing two corpses would have been simpler, with mutual support tactic until they were confirmed.
2.39s The platoon leader aims and uses his rifle like a normal infantryman he should stand back and command, it is not his job to be in front.
During the video there are only 2 enemies facing the light motorized patrol, the beginning is rather well managed but from a moment, it shouts too much, talks a lot ... the two corpses will monopolize a platoon or more, whereas the situation is easily managed by being trained.
