Videos tagged with Fire Superiority

This video provides an expert-level breakdown of the 'React to Contact' drill for squad-level operations, referencing military doctrine like ATP 3-21.8 and the Ranger Handbook. It details the critical '3Ds' report, the importance of immediate fire and maneuver, the Squad Leader's role in assessing 3:1 odds for assault, and the essential LACE report for resource management. The instruction emphasizes fire superiority and controlled suppression techniques like the 'mad minute'.

This video highlights that while a normal human reaction is to seek cover when under fire, running across open ground can be tactically disadvantageous. In situations where cover is distant, achieving 'fire superiority' by returning fire aggressively can serve as the most effective form of cover, creating a 'wall of lead' to deter threats.
