7 Ways Army Soldiers Train For Combat After Basic Training | Boot Camp | Insider Business
After 10 weeks of basic training, Army soldiers begin preparing for specific types of combat operations. Some soldiers choose to join the Armor school where they join the ranks of tankers and cavalry scouts. One of the most popular courses is the Airborne School, where soldiers learn how to safely jump out of airplanes and into combat zones. In Air Assault school, soldiers learn how to utilize helicopters to insert themselves and equipment into combat in a course that's known as the Army's "ten toughest days."
Back on the ground, future snipers endure the grueling 7-week course that turns Army soldiers into lethal weapons. As the US military's focus moves from the Middle East to the Asia-Pacific region, soldiers train to fight in jungle environments as tension with China builds. Army soldiers require a lot of calories to do their dangerous jobs. That's why culinary specialists train to feed hundreds of hungry soldiers in combat zones. Injuries in combat are inevitable, which is why soldiers train to become combat medics to learn to wounds and potentially save lives.
EDITOR'S NOTE
The segments about Army tankers, cavalry scouts, snipers, and paratroopers were filmed at the Fort Benning Army installation prior to the installation being officially renamed "Fort Moore."

7 Ways Army Soldiers Train For Combat After Basic Training | Boot Camp | Insider Business
Is it just me, or is Business Insider doing more to inform potential recruits of the training they can receive than the actual Army?
They probably get paid to advertise
I was at meps recently and at least a third of us had seen the videos. It’s much better marketing for potential recruits than most of the videos officially put out by the various branches. The submarine school video that they did convinced one of the guys who swore in with me to choose a job on a sub versus the surface ships.
Third party recruiting
Can confirm. Their video and coast guard bootcamp was exactly what it was like, and I was there when it was filmed in 2017
I’m a recruiter, we have these videos playing in our office all the time. It does a good job of showing what we’re talking about
As a former Infantry Marine (0352). I was always glad to see the messman show up with chow after being out in the field for days and weeks. People always glorify the Infantry and Armor, etc. But without the messman, we wouldn't go far. People forget that the military marches on it's stomach.
That's great... but what are they they doing to protect America from Klaus Schwab?
0311 is an infantry marine 😂

3 hours? Oh boy..there goes my evening planned for household stuff
Watching this makes me even more proud and appreciative of these young soldiers. I’m grateful for the physical demands, sacrifices, and difficulties they endure to be ready to defend our country, lives and constitution.
We dont need soldiers who are government lap dogs full stop. It benefits nobody. Costs lives, money, materials and our liberty because we cant be trusted with truth anymore incase we share it with foreign powers!?!?!? WE WOULD ALL HAPPILY COOPERATE IF GOVERNMENTS WERENT INVOLVED. Simply put,The humans only enemy is other human. Now we arent naturally enemy and would never dream of invading anothers land or killing them so best thing every soldier can do is QUIT all of them cos once they get replaced by Ai Bots it will be too late the system will have us all forever if we dont start cooperating towards human evolution and freedom rather than continuing with this current model of enslavement brainwashing and obedience conditioning and the education and recruitment processes aim to remove free will! Wisdom is key.
you mean to invade other nations and force your way of life on them
well sounds total crazy to me

From paratrooper training alone, my brother is permanently disabled and a number of his battalion died. The forces involved are no joke.
Wait what? How?

Our military is a beautiful well oiled machine and everyone should appreciate our military for providing the freedom we have. These people signed up for this when they didn't have to. 🇺🇸
Keep America strong....degrees of courage , train and fighting warriors,
Combat Medics.. I respect them a LOT 👍 Salute from the Netherlands ✌, T.
That army paratrooper who collided with that vehicle... damn, I'm glad she survived. And to get back up and walk unassisted, that surprised me. At least she was checked by the instructors just to be sure. But again, good that she's ok
...the fact that she was ready for the next jump was very impressive on her end too!
My battle buddy (Shawn Ivey) from Basic Training (Aug2001) at Bravo 2/47, Fort Benning, GA. went to Airborne School with Patrick Tilman in October of 2002 . I was supposed to watch them graduate from Airborne School, but I got restricted to Fort Rucker, Alabama. for drinking underage. I also went to Iraq in 2008-2009 with a medic that grew-up with Pat; his name was Alexander. I ended my time in service in 2012. Small world! God Bless you! -SPC Mediano
Rip pat till man great player and great solider
71 now at age 15 I joined the 8th Canadian Hussars Militia (crewman Recce), light armoured. We trained regularly at Base Gagetown where I fired the collapsible rocket launcher in the cardboard throw away tube with the pop up sites. Also fired a Carl Gustav in practice. Threw grenades over a concrete wall. Even engaged in war games with the 'regular forces' for entire weekends. Drove APC's tanks jeep and 3/4 ton pickups for radio ops.
Business insider doing a great job with the army videos
504th P.I.R. vet here and "Doc" was with us ALL the time. Good friend while in and still a good friend after
I remember being called a leg by a formation running at Ft Bragg. Because i had a soft cap on. When they got close, I turned so they could see my 10th Mountain patch and Ranger tab. Also my Airborne wings. They shut up quick.
The medics at JBSA got those phase patches on. Phase V+ meant you can drive your POV. Man what a time. My best in the army by far was at JBSA AIT. 😎
Old US Heavy CAV M60A3 TC here and gone are the good old days of the loader trying to kick and keep rebounding shell casings in a uncooled turret in the heat, with the cordite fumes burning your eyes. It is a good thing and we truly need to WAKE UP and make sure these men and women are TRULY getting the EQUIPMENT they need, and NOT what the Military Industrial Complex lobbies to build. For them, it is about revenue. To me, it is all about the lives of our sons and daughters who follow in the footsteps we once tread. It is still my watch until I die.
gotta take care of our bodies big sarnt, (im 21 and my back already hurts) 💀
Fell asleep and then it auto played this. That was some good fever dream. Some Amazing race with puzzles and reoccurrence. Educational military puzzles. Can you learn in your sleep? "We're coming up to the area where you got shot last time. How are you not freaking out" "toddler response because I'm not." I will have to rewatch, maybe awake this time.
Absolutely great video! Totally enjoyed it!
Grewt video ... 47 IQ participants 😊
This is the best video ever; thank you
Number 23 is that comical relief of the CoD campaign that everyone loves but dies near the end.
I'm so proud of our army troops. God please keep them Safe....
Drank a 6 pack and went to sleep in the recliner watching this. Being 60 has a few perks !
what a great video i am loving it 🥰 just wondering at 33.50 why this choice of mobile kitchen ? you cant get better module with hard wall and ceiling now. faster and safer for a kitchen ... maybe a matter of weigth ?
Need one on ranger school now!
This Airborne school looks Super Fun.
thanks
At 3:50, whats the minimal height you have to be to reach the cable line?
Signed my Option 40 Airborne Ranger Infantry the other week. Ship July 27th, anyone else here in our RGV4?
Nice bro, best of luck !

If the airborne pay bonus kept up with inflation it would be $882.26 a month. $50 in 1944 is this amount in August 2023. Just food for thought.
This is good for recruiting numbers for sure
Watching from Ghana l love the video
Well Done!

Yes the army is a great job even in Ghana ❤
Providing necessary nutrient replacement is a requirement. Food is fuel. For the body. For the heart and for the mind. Strict safety and sanitation is essential. Required.
God please protect our soldiers ❤❤❤ We need them back home
This was better than a movie!
I had a lucid dream while this was playing on my tv in my bedroom and it was crazy. 🙃
Seriously?! The jungle episode back to back in the same video?!
Very nice soldiers move or doing job godbless.

#23 is a legend
I like it they are powerful
Not sure if there is such a thing but it would be nice if you had stickers or something to represent bullet holes or entry points that can stick to skin and clothing . Then the 1st responders can act accordingly without someone having to speak the scenario e.g. "You have soldier with blah blah blah" they will see bullet wound stickers and whatever other possible things a sticker or Velcro patch could mimic depending on the injury.
you should do one on MPs
And Infantry OSUT.
Watched a show similar to this many years ago....Mountain Marines i believe it was called. Much like this show, students trained (endured) a week in the high mountains of Washington State. I think there were 12 in number. They successfully completed their training and were in the truck on the way back to the base for some much anticipated hot normal food. Suddenly, the trucks stop. The instructor opens the back and said, "your plane has crashed. You have three warm sleeping bags, a couple rucksacks, and only the food you have now. One of you is blind and one of you has a broken leg and must be carried. You have six days to find the extraction point. Locals are hostile but have maps showing your extraction point. Figure it out" Or words to this effect anyways. A few days later, the observers see the patrol and broken leg man is walking. He confronted the team. "He has to be carried! If I could shoot him in the leg myself, I'd do it! Do your job and carry him like a soldier should!" There were leadership issues within the patrol and negotiation issues with the people who had the maps. But, the patrol worked through them and 14 days since starting out, they got their normal hot food back at base.....7 days later than they expected. I would have liked to seen something similar here. Don't know the particulars of THIS show, but I think they all knew it would end at a designated time.
This is just a channel where they go in and observe the actual training on soldiers entering the military and interview people.. Nothing about this is really entertainment focused or a production put on by a TV producer. It's basically just intended for you to get a good look at what training for your troops looks like and to give us a better understanding of why they do things the way they do.. I wish I was able to watch the show you're talking about though! That sounds cool.
Perfect example of why they use the term”near peer” advisory, because there is simply no army in the world on our level, the closest are NATO members and only because we trained them, and they are a fraction of the size, just amazing.
I´m pretty sure that finnish forces have been trainin and got solid soldiers. Everyone from laundry guy to that 18 year old jaeger/jääkäri know the basics and everyone have to go thru that in some point, but what im trying to say,is we have 1300km border with them. U know the answer after the world war why we started stacking everything so we would be ready if they try something. . It was a shock to meny finnish soldiers at ukraine how they had no clue how to work together, give "smaller" leaders power to improvise at the spot etc. But ofc have to remember they was stuck to soviet military system and the russian mentality... But i think they have been shaking these bigger leaders that this is how it works. Ofc that was a just a guess... sorry about the english and i didnt wrote this to any hostile way. Just little fixing of facts :)
@@Japiloc I hope that wasn’t towards me because it just proves my point, NATO members and Western allies are far superior than any forces in the world, largely due to the US but that by no means is to say that nations such as Finland don’t have fine soldiers of their own.
@@Japilocnot as good as the US 😂
Nice 👍👍👍
from all the area you could have landed and you choose to go for the truck, time to go bk home
GOD BLESS 🙏💫😇 THE BRAVE AND STRONG💯💪 ARMED FORCES OF THE USA..USA..USA..!!!!!💪💪👍💥

we are the best simply because we train so much and shoot so much. when you spend all day playing in the sandbox, you're bound to be a bit tougher than the other kids on the playground.

3:04:25 - someone from the US Army PLEASE tell me: is this guy special forces (a green beret) based on the patch he’s wearing and if so, why would he be attending what appears to be a fairly easy/simple course? Wouldn’t he already have these skills? Also, why doesn’t he have the special forces tab over the airborne tab?
That patch represents those who are airborne qualified

OK,one quick question for anyone who attended Air Assault school...the mentioned list of items is handed out to students before arrival,is that correct? It's no secret item list but students still fail to bring the stuff along?
There is no items that are handed to you. You will need to either already have items from your cif issue or personal buy the required items and the specific items that are on the air assault packing list
You get a packing list from your unit. You will have to get everything ready prior to going. If your unit is smart, they will make mock inspection prior just to verify you have everything. For example, when list mentions your canteens filled to the brim, during Air Assault inspection on day zero, when the instructor opens your canteens to see if they are filled, if it’s missing a millimeter of water, you failed inspection!! Do NOT forget anything!!!! Zero tolerance, you will be kicked out!!! Everyone will be in formation spaced out, the main instructor will call out an item, and give you 10 seconds to have it ready. Then the other instructors, there are plenty, will go to each individual soldier and verify it’s correct, and not damaged. They will check with a ruler if necessary.
The temperature change at about 300 feet was surprising.
Oh shit, I'm starting to agree with CSM
We always jked that the army catering couse was the hardest in the army and nobody had ever passsed it but i never turned down proper food over Rat packs or MREs
