Interesting to see SF use high port in some of those room entry and range photos that's usually a staple of NSW.

marleynrs8Interesting to see SF use high port in some of those room entry and range photos that's usually a staple of NSW.

When running it's actually a lot easier. As far as room clearing they probably saw too many photos of NSW doing it and figured it was cool. It's also interesting they are doing it in a training environment. We specifically never went guns up including on reloads because of people up in the catwalks say like that photographer.

As far as reloads we do weapons up and in "the work space" so we can keep eyes on what is happening in front of us. Yea usually one would take cover or attempt to while reloading but having your head up (even behind cover) is a generally a good thing I don't want to be looking down potentially bumble ****ing my mag change because of the stress and fatigue of combat and then looking up to find something unexpected in front of me (potentially). Also makes reloading A LOT smoother and faster. As far as "people above us" never really had to worry about that because with good fundamentals and training you shouldn't have your finger on the trigger let alone in the trigger well while reloading not to mention flipping the weapon back on safe via muscle memory. Of course its big boy rules and that is what SOF plays by. As far as transitioning or moving in MOUT environments with "guns up" as well call it the alt. high ready it's really up to the shooter you train that way and only that way you will become very efficient at it. In CQB its METT-TC **** never goes as planned in the urban jungle.

Thanks for that insight stud

Found something historic but so epic ...

Good video. Thanks for posting.

I'm pretty sure if you go flagging people regardless of trigger discipline I wouldn't be cool with it. There's not a single SOF unit out there that hasn't had a few ADs in it's history. I always considered 'high-ready' something else because you still had the buttstock in your shoulder. You in CIF or SF?

Soldiers with the 5th Battalion 19th Special Forces Group conduct a pursue and capture mission as part of a demonstration during the Texas Military Forces Open House in Camp Mabry Austin Texas April 21 2012. During the demonstrations soldiers slid down a rope hanging from a helicopter and capture the high value target in less than 15 minutes.

I wonder what the story is with only one dude having the new Ops-Core helmets.

Are you allowed to use your own kit? If so he could have bought it.

Token White GuyAre you allowed to use your own kit? If so he could have bought it.

I never saw anybody do it pertaining to helmets but USASOC did supposedly sign off on them. Expensive purchase and I heard the guys were suppose to be getting them anyways.

                                                 Bob134@RavageI "cry" MarSOC because these marines deserve a lot of appreciation

No question there but do you think they expect that people will say 'ouh look there it's MARSOC there so coool! not like the SEALs there soo pase'

nikocujoEOD Patch. My money is Navy EOD not MARSOC. Who these guys are doesn't matter. So enjoy the pictures and chill.

FYI: EOD personnel is organic to MARSOC and each MSOC usually deploys with at least 2 EOD technicans.

Could be attached Navy EOD guys?

Sorry to ask If I am not wrong the rifle that this Special Operator is using is a FN SCAR???

So the SCAR is now the standar rifle for Special Forces???

M4A1 and SCAR-H is the SOCOM standard.

I'll actually agree with this assessment. That plus the mk48. I've never seen SF play around with that weapon system.

Does the SOCOM have consider the Remington ACR??? becuase in the "Tactical Operator" Magazine an article witten last year by Phil Butler makes a comparison between the SCAR and the ACR and they concluded that the Remington ACR performs better than the FN SCAR.

there exist a few pictures shwoing marsoc marines with SCARs.

And like my fore-poster said. The one EOD Guy is probably a Navy (or USMC) EOD who is attached to a MSOT (like the Corpsmen)

Navy Seal teams are using the H-version for quite some time.

Not sure if it's relevant but I saw a peq-16 on one of their 249s.

Nice to see the SCAR in use haven't seen very many pictures of them lately. I don't mean to devolve this thread into geardo questions but those sniper rifles are M110s right?

deejko

Is that a Glock 26????
