Welcome Aboard!

AHOY,


UPDATE 12/21/13, 11:42 HOURS

I am revealing who I am today i.e. posting my name, I am Keith Oeffinger, I was born in San Antonio Texas in 1963. See today's post 12/21/13 .


Update, 01/11/14 12:30 hours;

I would like to say, with only one reply, like three years ago, this blog seems too much like a mirror site to me. And it appears very few patriots are looking back at past posts.

The new “Fragmented Fighting Facts” series of posts that dedicates one post to each Basic rule has now been completed. This series starts with the post tilted “Post # 1, Planning, Preface” that posted on 05/12/13. This series is under the label “Tri-F in progress”. Posts well be updated as I edit or discover additional knowledge thus the series is the most current version of my "Fragmented Fighting Facts" manual. For an old but complete version i.e. all in one post copy. Patriots are welcomed to try viewing one of the “pages” listed in the “special word section” on the starboard side of the blog. I say try due to the fact I’m not sure if they are published i.e. viewable to the general public due to all the issues or HACKING with my blog. There is also a complete copy posted, that is titled, “Tri-F in progress” too, it was posted 11/13/10.

And feel free to fire away with a reply, (sarcasm on).


FLASH REPORT; the “TERRORIST ARE NOT AMONG US, AND NEVER WERE I.E. AL QAEDA IS A STAWL MAN, GHOST”.

The most important lesson that everyone should have taken away from the Boston Marathon bombings was that those young men proved that no al-queda members are in the u.s. Otherwise they too would just go get some presure cookers and had to a parade.

“I AM NOT A TERRORIST” this nation’s worst enemy is FEAR. This fear is being promoted mostly by the back woods, right wing, Christians of this nation. We need to separate church and state, period. And that is of course for the States sake.


I would like patriots to understand that I use the terms "official revealed fact" to mean what everyone is being told by officials, media etc. I use the term "kings truth" to mean what I know or believe to actually be the actual facts. I DO NOT MEAN IT IN A RELIGIOUS WAY. I.E. the term Kings is plural as in those running the show.


Preface for the Fragmented Fighting Facts

Note pink highlighted material is that, that IMO is questionable factually, it maybe an “official revealed fact” that I am questioning. The material may need to be defined i.e. explained more or it could be a personal note. Yellow is location undecided or unedited material i.e. unread that I have not decided on what to keep or not. Green means a change has been made i.e. an update. By noting the green updated highlights a Patriot well not have to read the Fragmented Fighting Facts in its entirety to stay current. Red is important, perhaps the "kings truth".

Newjarheaddean; this is my collection of combat notes. One might call it my anthology of combat tactics, techniques, methods and skills. The note taking began about fourty years ago (I was around 13 years old) with the observation of 10 rules listed with in a book covering the French and Indian i.e. Native American, wars, entitled “Roger’s Rangers”. That’s right the rules that started all this are “Army Ranger” rules, this book was located in the “Westfall” library in San Antonio Texas off of Vance Jackson. I get a kick out of the libraries name due to the general agreement that modern or state vs state warfare started with the singing of the peace treaties at Westphalia. I could not read at the time; however I knew that a list in a book on war would be important. I copied those rules down like a scribe might have written hieroglyphs and had my dad read them to me. . This discovery preceded numerous sources including approximately one hundred books and about a dozen field manuals, of which a few were of WWII era. These were found at libraries, half price bookstores and garage sales. Since going on line in 2007, I have found material on web sites such as “Defense and National Interest” (DNI), “Global security”, “Strategy page” , “Wikipedia” and “Bayonet strength” and “Efour4ever” in the combat lessons learned section. These last two sites cover WWII.

Previously referred to as K.O.O.L.N. (acronym definition, top secret), FLASH REPORTS; I NOW AM TELLING EVERYONE IT STANDS FOR KEITH OEFFINGER'S ORGANIZATION OF LEARNED KNOWLEDGE the joke on me here was I believed Knowledge was spelled with an (N). I was a special education student and did not learn to read until my last year of high school. I have now titled my work “Fragmented Fighting Facts” or “Tri-F”; the name derives from the computer grammar function always alerting me to the fragmented nature of my sentences. This is due to the “just the facts, ma’am” manor the material is written i.e. there has been little if any effort to write in whole sentences or provide context. This is not to say there is no order with Tri-F, in fact there is a theme. I have laid out the information as one might expect a commander or members of a unit to recall it thus utilizing it to conduct a mission.

We start with “Planning”, followed by the section on “Defense”, then there’s “Preparations and conduct of patrols” or “PCP”, and we end with “Conduct of Engagements” or “COE”, i.e. engagements being the term used here for shootouts. Each section of Tri-F consists of numbered “Basic rules”, each basic rule followed by detailed notes that either relate to, explain, or give examples pertaining to the basic rules. As with the general format of Tri-F, each section’s basic rules are laid out as one might need to recall them. This is most obvious in the last section COE starting with basic rule number one, “Flash report”, i.e. actions to take upon contact with the enemy. This sections last basic rule deals with handling POWs.

Keep in mind this is a work in progress; I’m constantly discovering new information to add which in turn still at times requires rearranging things. At the same time, interestingly enough to me, I have not needed to rearrange my original order of the basic rules for quite some time. There are however, two instances where the detailed information fallowing a pair of basic rules became so similar I decided to combine the pair into one basic rule. These two occurrences are noted in footnotes.

Now heed this, out of all the information contained within this work, only an estimated 1% was taught to me while I was serving in the U.S.M.C. Moreover, to put a fine point on it, it’s worth noting I served in Charlie Company, First Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division, i.e. an Infantry unit. Before my discharge (after only a two year cruse), I attended Jungle Warfare School in the northern training area of Okinawa (for two weeks), Mountain Warfare School in Korea (for one week) and Combat Town Camp Pendleton for MOUT training (for one day). I did not take part in any amphibious training nor did I ever go to Twenty Nine Palms for Desert Warfare training. We did ride around in AAVs once at Camp Pendleton. All in all I would say the only things I missed out on were a beach landing (at Coronado I believe) and a little sun burn, due to the fact that those twenty nine palms, I was told in the early eighties were all located at the front gate of that base. Needless to say, the training did not impress me, and I now know it was not going to get any better as some suggested to me at the time, and still others later claimed that I should have just stayed in longer.

With my position on the lack of training, I do wish to make it perfectly clear that I do support the service women and men in the U.S. armed forces. I also believe them to be as brave as any people on earth, (with the exception of the (Y) generation). My concern is in the way the Infantry especially is being mislead and used. I want people to understand my experience and IMO a lot of evidence suggests Uncle Sam intends to use his infantry in ways that does not include training any generation in the art of “traditional Guerilla combat tactics” i.e. as a “Traditional Commando” would be. I am not talking about “SWAT” team “Close quarter” tactics, like the “Stick dynamic entry”. That tactic should be called the “cluster f**k”. Just call that sort of tactic what it is NYPD (Cops T.V. show bad-boys, bad-boys) in Afghanistan.

The problem is that that tactic was developed by police departments to deal with an objective occupied by drugged up party animals, i.e. untrained civilians. The police never use it in a spur of the minute situation. They use it when the house/objective has been under constant surveillance for mouths in some cases and the police know all manner of information about everyone in the house and the structure and neighborhood in general. The cops choose a time when everyone is pasted out from partying the night before and have long lost any weapons (between the cushions or under the bed) they might have had on them as show pieces during the party. The primary reason for the large numbers of police in close proximity is to make sure the gang does not think the raid is a rival gang “brake in” and thus resist in any way. There is lots of yelling too, thus reinforcing the message that no one is trying to be covert, like one would be to get away with a crime.

This brings up an intriguing observation of mine; that being that by the book an assault should be made from the top down, yet the troops in Afghanistan and elsewhere use the Stick dynamic entry and usually enter from the front door, like a SWAT team. However resent high profile raids show the SWAT teams attacking from the top down. Examples you may recall are the raids on the Shinning path group in Peru in 2000 and the Mumbai raid by Indian forces on the Jewish center in 2008. IMO this proves the existence of what I’ll refer to as a “need to know” training policy, being followed by various governments, the purpose being to limit the number of true Commandos that could become tomorrow’s rebels, apposing corrupt governments. One last thing about the Stick, IMO every single time the regular forces unit conducting one of these foolish Stick dynamic entries comes under fire i.e. runs into resistance, the Stick brakes i.e. the whole unit evacuates and awaits some kind of support form tanks, guns, tubes or air. Bottom line IMO the Stick is used as a probing tactic and is meant to be a moral boosting show peace tactic to make the unit feel as if it has taken a hill, which was nothing more than another empty building, that IMO Intel suggested, was the case before the entry was ordered. Recalling the police policy of long periods of surveillance prior to raids.

It also seems to me that in light of the old saying “you can fight a war with bombs and blockades but only boots on the ground can win it” ( IMO, Uncle Sam has now revised that saying, as fallows) “you can win a war with bombs and blockades, but only the infantry can end the war”, farther more IMO Uncle Sam has gone one more step and decided to use private security companies and local i.e. indigenous people for the infantry role. All this fear of true commandos is all very similar to the “Mujahideen” not being allowed by various governments, to return to their homelands i.e. native nations, after fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.

And as for the U.S. and other Western nations, training foreigners to fight a counter insurgency goes. IMO this training includes nothing more than police procedures i.e. conducting investigations, forensics, searching individuals and buildings to collect evidence and yes serving warrants, if necessary, with those all mighty “stick” tactics. And of course, lots of “new innovative techniques and tactics” involving CAS and IMO (Old) so called high tech equipment the U.S. Military Industrial Congressional Complex wants to clear out of the warehouses.

All in all IMO Uncle Sam has chosen to put just about all his eggs in one advanced technology system, think Star Wars Storm Troopers or Matrix i.e. the Operator or Morpheus trying to guide Neo and others to safety. IMO it looks something like this; (x) unit go to (x) address, kick in front door, use stairs to your right, go south down hallway to (x) door, it is unlocked, interning room go to (x) window looking out window to the north you will see your target running east though the neighbors garden. All this information and the “live” feeds of target and area of operations would be provided by a fleet of satellites as well as Near space assets that are never mentioned by the media as current military assets and of course there’s the robots, UAVs and a flood of other covertly deployed sensors as well as covert eves dropping of any civilian electronic devices in the Area of operations.

Thus in light of these and similar so called “new innovative, techniques and tactics” (notice the media and governments choice of words “techniques and tactics” as if we’re talking Commando training i.e. why not use some modern high tech terms the system is so eager to introduce us all to normally as a matter of routine), IMO Uncle Sam has placed the traditional Guerrilla combat tactics, on the back burner and is hoping they all go the way of other black arts.

This is not just true of the infantry; let us take a peek at aerial combat. Does anyone out there actually think today’s U.S. pilots are turning and burning, pulling high (G) maneuvers trying to hit the entry windows and get inside the bandits turn. Think any pilot has conducted a yo-yo or split S maneuver lately or made the choice between a single or two-circle fight. Now days its all about stealth, ECM and Smart even autonomous weapons, missiles especially BVR tech. IMO this explains why the U.S. Navy is not concerned with not having a front line fighter equal to the USAF F-22 Raptor. An article I recently read on “Strategy page” mentioned a lot of talk about a Navy F/A-18E at an air show, displaying a little F-22 silhouette decal i.e. a simulated Kill credit symbol/icon. IMO the F/A- 18E did not gun down that kill.

And then everyone knows that just about all now and IMO soon all weapons systems including the bayonet well have a chip in it.

So if the electronics ever fail (maybe due to a shift in the axis of earths electromagnetic field, passed a certain point or perhaps a record size solar flare) IMO it well be the masters of the age-old Guerrilla combat tactics i.e. The Fragmented Fighting Facts Basic Rules that survive, keeping in mind “no one wins”.

I also wish, that those who join the various services where told all this up front i.e. “we do not intend to train you as a traditional Commando”.

Another thing I would like everyone to consider is that; what makes a Marine special is not the training she or he receives, no it’s the steel the youth demonstrates when they choose to join the Marines. Even when compared to the Special Forces, who IMO are only specialists in their particular field, once again mostly high tech specialties and whose ranks are filled with older personnel that have already been serving and have graduated from a boot camp i.e. are aware of the hoop and hype hurry up and wait tactics. And who are then usually chosen i.e. coached into changing their MOS. I am aware of the change in recruitment policy after 2001 allowing for direct entry into the S.F. community. IMO a rarity and IMO it is still not the same as just choosing to go to a Marine Corps Recruit Depot from the start.

Furthermore, to those who just well not accept the truth about the lack of training along the lines of traditional Guerrilla combat tactics. I can now say that I have exchanged comments with a number of Iraqi and Afghanistan combat vets. These comments can be found on the internet if you Google up my call sign, Newjarheaddean also spelled with one (D). IMO it is obvious that the tactics I speak of are news to the vets, some have made commits that proves in combat they were just winging it. And no, I don’t believe that all the vets are observing some kind of code of silence on these tactics including the vets who are against the wars. Unless everyone wants to say that YouTube and other internet companies are conspiring to edit all combat footage that shows these tactics being used and that, the vets are staging other videos that show them (albeit with great bravery) as armatures without a clue and winging it. If anyone ever sees video, showing the tactics listed in Tri-F being used, be sure and provide a link with your comment. I once saw a flash of film on CNN showing combat in Lebanon during the 1980s that showed some of these tactics being used by a Guerrilla fighter. I well also say I do believe that UAV footage is edited by the Pentagon to keep the public from seeing the few but well trained Taliban and other Guerrilla fighters that are using these tactics. Alternatively, maybe people think our professional highly trained well-equipped military is unable to defeat 10 – 20 thousand religious extremist amateur thugs in almost a decade of fighting. All the while killing at least by some estimates 100 a mouth including dozens of top commanders.

Let me also say, on the numbers of U.S. PTSD casualties, i.e. IMO, WIA, (And IMO deserving of a Purple Heart). The Government portrays these cases as a result of fighting a war that is “unlike any other war we have fought before” (LOL). Facing an enemy that is fighting in some mysterious and or cowardly manor that simply cannot be countered by military means. I believe the high numbers are a result of US forces fighting in a manner that is suicidal i.e. pointless and counterproductive to the real world situation. Example; you have a young brave American ready to fight for the nation, while on one of these IMO “Russian roulette parades” someone shoots at the unit from some building, everyone scrambles for cover, as some spray and pray, then after determining the location using SWATS (Soldier Worn Acoustic Targeting Systems) sniper detectors, or one of the many similar vehicle mounted systems the commander calls in some sort of CAS, if someone’s brains have been blow out especially if it was an officer or the location is vague, a real “crowd pleaser” maybe used i.e. 2000 pounder.

IMO this is how 90% of engagements (fought by regular infantry units) are resolved. Special Forces are now and in the feature more and more regular infantry well be using the Matrix. And to those that think this is the exception I say show me the number of WIA or KIA (On either side) by small arms fire i.e. during traditional firefights. Even if one includes sniper fire those figures are really low. So IMO after witnessing all the carnage and innocent civilian life being lost and receiving all those looks from the witnesses, it is the American that realizes it is his unit that is not fighting right.

This is reinforced and really sinks in back in the states when the vet is asked to tell the Commando stories that never occurred and thus the vet must tell the truth i.e. give up the Commando reputation, keep it all inside or start lying. If the first option is chosen that unveiling reality is demoralizing and makes it all not worth it. If either one of the other chooses are made IMO the vet becomes the ticking bomb. And I can tell you all that many times, I have recalled being told once that “when you go home keep your mouth shut about the things we did. If you don’t you well be thought of as a liar or crazy and either which way your life well be over”. That First Sergeant was right, but like my daddy use to say, “He’s right but he does not know why he’s right” i.e. IMO the First Sgt. thought of what we did in terms of remarkable heroic feats. However, IMO certainly since the beginning of the Vietnam era, it is the lack of training i.e. the manner in which our service women and men are fighting that keeps this tragedy going.

I would also suggest the vets of today are just like I was 25 or so years ago in the sense that they know there training is lacking, however, they just cannot explain what’s missing. However unlike me they refuse to accept that old fashion “black arts” are the answer i.e. should be the basis of basic training. And I now know the “Black art” tactics they and I should have been trained in and I can now say, “The PFC that told the Corp it was out of step, now has provided the proof”. What surprises me is that most vets it seems don’t care at all about the tactics I speak of and seem to view me as an unpatriotic “party pooper”, when I’m just a U.S. Marine trying to improve the Corps and save lives. Bottom line IMO the infantry needs to consist of unmarried i.e. undistracted, NO CHILDREN, dedicated true professionals, trained in the tactics listed in Tri-F and many more I am sure exist.

And to those that say “chivalry is for the museums” I say “first we must have peace on earth”.

On the peace of SH*T commandant

AHOY,

Update; 03/04/13 21:43 hours this is a final update to this post. I am just cleaning things up for future patriots. I have not highlighted this most resent editing i.e. changes. I did this so previous highlighted info from the last update would remain unchanged. I have also gone ahead and deleted any text that may or may not have been done by a hacker, example this was dashes and letters that I did not type into my post.

One of his i.e. the (CMC) motto's is "live hard", LOL he has lead a cushy live.

Here's one of my sayings; "when it comes to persecution and suffering that ferry tail about christ doesn't have sh*t on me".

I resonantly read an article about how a Marine has to continuously earn the right to claim the title US Marine. I disagree, however if one was to ask every person I have ever worked for, what they thought of me and my work? They would all reply he (me) was one of, or my best worker ever. But remember I say that, what makes a Marine special is not the training "its the fact that at a young age the person had the balls to join the Marines".

And so now I can write that james t. conway has had the rains of the Corps, for years now and thus the chance to make the Corp more of what it was suppose to be i.e. the Few the Proud the Marines. Yet he has not done anything but ride along like the yes man he is and lead the Corp into morphing into nothing but a little Army that can't.

And IMO all this hodge podge collection of units being deployed is not some  planned new way or great strategy adaptation to the future. No it proves the system is broke and its the only thing these officers can come up with to keep up.

Oh and lets not forget his (cmc) peace of sh*t Idea about transferring the Marines from Iraq to Afghanistan. LOL the ghost of christmas past.

Human intelligence

AHOY,

Update; 03/08/13 20:40 hours this is a final update to this post. I am just cleaning things posts up for future patriots. I have not highlighted these most resent editing i.e. changes. I did this so previous highlighted info from the last update would remain unchanged. I have also gone ahead and deleted any text that may or may not have been done by a hacker, example this was dashes and letters that I did not type into my post.


All these articles are from various sources about how to electronically format this or that system for data entry to be used or viewed on computers. I have also gotten a kick out of the fact "personal shortages" is never the argument made to not have yet another electron center  or command post brought on line. The "personal shortage" argument is always used when discussing any changes to infantry organizations etc. I am aware of the difficulty of getting well educated personal to serve in the infantry. And the pay system adds the sugar on top. This lack of pay is no different than the civilian system that pays someone setting at a disk all day more than some one who's position is more physical. And I do understand if it was not for the additional pay those disk types would find it impossible to get the women  Due to the fact that imo the laddies really are getting fu*k by the more physically fit laborers.

Back to my main point here;

Example the USMC acting like they can't figure out how to work HumInt, or the private sector and the medical records issue for that mater, IMO here's the answer, you simply program an electronic version (i.e. write your software) in the same old fashion pen and paper way of filing things. Look how the geniuses at the public libraries have done electronic books i.e. all wrong. You should be able to thumb through an e-book just like a real book, then if you wont to go the so call advanced way you could just push/select the nerd button/gadget and be on your way to e-world. And now 03/08/13 this has been done with some tablets.

Ever notice how a function that really dose not make a difference or that you could careless about can be readily changed very easy, two or three ways in fact and then something that would really make a difference say with filters to reduce adds is very difficult to configure out, and if you can find your way through all the paths in the first place, then it's no longer about click and go, you must inter URLs etc. etc.

Back to the Corps, dose anyone believe the corp dose not have a tried and tested CI/HumInt system for collecting and analyzing information and disseminating intelligence to those that need it? Now imo those in the know, have the rest of the Marines using terms like intelligence information related items, entities and products, LOL, LOL so I don't cry. IMO the old fashion hurry up and wait (e) style.

The Corp should Simplify/Semper Fi.


1/20/11
I decided to post this updated segment from my Planing section of Fragmented Fighting Facts i.e. Tri-F in progress listed in NOV. 2010 on this Newjarheaddean Rumor Board blog. Its a start and simple enough to me. Like you well read, "time" is the key marker and in combo with other criteria would IMO work well for unique tag i.e. key words for filing LOL. data bases.



From the battlefield with unfolding situations information could be categorized by levels of, Situation first so receiver knows how urgent info is, Command, Location and Timeline most important factor/criteria, for processing information through the chain of command.

Example; i.e. possibilities are; 

Situation 1) Tactical, covering Command levels, Individual Marine, Fireteam, Squad, Platoon, Company or Battalion. We'll stick with A.O. i.e. area of operations to represent the area your unit is responsible for. IMO the A.O. would be defined by the unit’s ability (based on its Organic weapons or systems maximum ranges, NOT any supportive means it can draw on) to monitor/observe/influence or attack a given area. If you get silly i would say sending letters would be covered by Division.

Note also consider as we continue with the situation, command, location and time format information would usually coincide. That is to say duplicates would be coming in. I think the 911 emergency systems has been dealing with that one. One suggestion; would be to choice a lead/main and just record others if low on personal for instance. Tactical Timeline covering twenty-four hours or less in tactical situation.


Situation 2) Operational, here the units become the second in the chain of command if you well. They are your immediate supervisors and reserves. So units handle the procurement, Storage and analysis i.e. turning info into intelligence for Command levels of Battalion, Regiment or Division, depending on you organizations structure i.e. highest level. Location level, Theater covering Regions i.e. Middle East, South America or a particular Nation and its surrounding Nations. Timeline covering twenty-four hours and one second ago (LOL) and up to a mouth.

Situation 3) Strategic covering, procurement, Storage and analysis etc. for Command levels Division, Corps or service Branch Headquarters. Location level, covering Global information pertaining to locations anywhere on earth that dose not originate in one of the other two location levels. This strategic global level would also cover information about Near Space (12-62 miles of altitude) or actual space assets. Thus the top Headquarters, would divide its database into the three situations and various sub levels. However the Corp or Division (which ever is your highest) tactical and operational databases would merely be backup copies. (See fallowing information Headquarters task). Strategic Timeline, one mouth or more.

Thus your Top level of command would truly be more like an over all Strategy think tank. And investigate any alleged discrepancies, by lower commands especially the individual Marine reports LOL LOL i.e. Cmdr using all leadership guidelines in reverse.

Boy, I wish the U.S. propaganda machine would put half as much effort into getting information out of Afghanistan as they are in getting information out of Iran.

Oh yeah I almost forgot the only person in the area of Afghanistan that has a satellite phone is UBL i.e. Osama bin labin and company. lol

Besides releasing the truth about whats going on in that war would just help the enemies of the west.

Mousavi savy

AHOY

Update; 03/04/13 22:09 hours this is a final update to this post. I am just cleaning things up for future patriots. I have not highlighted this most resent editing i.e. changes.

Boy that CIA is smart. IMO there was fraud in the Iranian elections. Here's how I believe it came about. Mousavi (and the CIA) new he could not win. And he might not even get enough votes to force a run off. So it was decided to make sure that at least 1/2 of the votes for Mousavi, especially in his home district got thrown out. They could have also stuffed the ballet boxes of Mousavi's rival with false votes i.e. helped him get more votes.

Thus it looks like something is a miss and who do you think everyone is going to blame?

It's all B.S.

AHOY,

Update; 03/04/13 21:42 hours this is a final update to this post. I am just cleaning things up for future patriots. I have not highlighted this most resent editing i.e. changes.

Democracy Now on June 9/09, Amy Goodman talked about the New York times article entitled "one in seven Gitmo detainees return to terrorism" (or something to that effect, it really dose not matter). Amy then said that the NYT has had to back track on some of it's claims and that the figures of those that return to the fight is more like 1 in 20. Amy then said that the error was caused by the Pentagon not distinguishing between old members of al-queda and those that went into terrorism to revenge their captivity.

 Newjarheaddean; I would also like to know where all the coverage of the detainees being released in the first place is. I mean due the detainees get a new suite and 100 dollars and walk out the front gate. What about the reception committee of family and friends back home and the local news coverage etc. etc. lol.

And the old verses new member B.S., would mean the U.S. government released known al-queda members. LOL.

Then Amy talked about the guy taken from getmo to N.Y. on or about June 8 2009, to stand trial for his involvement in the African Embassy bombings in Tazannia etc.

So I guess when it comes to one of the largest and most important cases the U.S. government has against Al queda, all the concern for revealing the top secret information and techniques etc. goes out the window. LOL.

Obama is changing

AHOY,

Update; 03/04/13 21:42 hours this is a final update to this post. I am just cleaning things up for future patriots. I have not highlighted this most resent editing i.e. changes. I did this so previous highlighted info from the last update would remain unchanged. I have also gone ahead and deleted any text that may or may not have been done by a hacker, example this was dashes and letters that I did not type into my post.


I know one old man who is still holding on to his belief's in change i.e. Obama.

IMO Obama is worst than Bush, at least Bush fell into the category of "the Devil you know".
In light of all the resent flip flopping, I had high hopes Obama was building up political support for dealing with the Israeli Palestinian issue i.e. getting Israel in line with a two state solution, out of the occupied areas, stopping settlements etc. etc. etc. But no we got the jewnited states message.

I may have to admit in being wrong about the Arabs having more support than the Jews here in the U.S. Maybe my mistake is not realizing the division is along financial lines i.e. haves against the have nots. Meaning it dose not matter if you are Palestinian or Arab or Jew or even a wasp lol, as long as you have money. But at any rate IMO the U.S government needs to change coarse.

Anyone voting from here on deserves it all.

05/22/09 oh what to do with the tortured ones (getmo POWs) i.e. all the human beings held at the Island resort LOL. IMO two wrongs don't made a right i.e. these people were picked up in a drag net, she said, he said bunch of B.S.. I don't believe they are the "worst of the worst", no local Afghan farmer knew the were abouts of high ranking Taliban or Al-quidia, they just turned in strangers. Obama should just order them taken back from were Bush and company got them. And let the local government decided if they belong in the nation or not. But then that might look like real change and a few of them might become suicide bombers. And we should never do anything to make more suicide bombers. LOL. Not to mention the loss of all the covert (spy) training opportunities we would loose. Obama is putting the icing on the cake that Bush baked.

Just seen that Obama's getting ready to make a speech at the Naval academy. The reporter mentioned that Jack Mc Cain is also graduating. So IMO you know Jack Mc Cains family including Sen. Mc Cain is there  but the media reporters that well run into them, well not report this i.e. give it any special coverage. There well be no bloger photos from other regular family members attending shown on CNN or information out there for the general public.

ANYWAYS! I'm just saying that there is no such thing as the wild wild electronic west internet, free press or a nation of the United States of America fallowing the constitution etc. etc.

G-day!

Guerrillia Warfare 1.0

AHOY,

Update; 03/04/13 21:42 hours this is a final update to this post. I am just cleaning things up for future patriots. I have not highlighted this most resent editing i.e. changes. I did this so previous highlighted info from the last update would remain unchanged. I have also gone ahead and deleted any text that may or may not have been done by a hacker, example this was dashes and letters that I did not type into my post.

Well have you heard, it’s all about winning hearts and minds. God! If we had just known that years or a millennia ago. However lets look at this governments ways and means campaign. I seen on T.V. this big oh warehouse in Afghanistan full of rice that the locals well not take to eat. But then I saw one of the bags up close with a one foot square U.S. flag on it. LOL. What to hell is wrong with this picture? Where’s the “we wont the locals to see their government as the one providing the help and assistance”. I can just here the B.S. now, about how those bags where printed years ago and it would cost to much to replace them (go with unprinted bags) LOL. And use these flag tagged ones for some other mission. And who would think that the locals would object to having U.S. flags all over the village when some Taliban comes reconnoitering the area, lol. And if the villager gets stopped at one of the Taliban check points that should not exist, if the Taliban have been routed. I'm sure the Taliban well understand “it just cost to much to replace the bags”. IMO the efforts are not to win hearts and minds, the efforts are to keep the war going i.e. the U.S. and the rest of NATO are playing war. IMO this is why there is no details about how we are winning the hearts and minds. They can’t make any B.S. arguments here, about giving the enemy information like they do with the lack of combat reporting. Oh I know, if you read through the reams of information containing volumes of personal drama stories, and lots of information on the purpose (propaganda) and goals of the projects and gather some useful tactical info. However the Taliban get all that info and more from the "grape vine". Why no just the facts ma’am information about the progress i.e. day to day achievements or set backs. We just get changing body counts and vague locations never any context i.e. explaining that the attack was directed against a certain project. I forgot we need to keep that information from the Taliban. Or maybe the head of this government just dose not know what the ass is doing, is that what you sheephood members think.

Miss California and more

AHOY,

Update; 03/03/13 10:36 hours this is a final update to this post. I am just cleaning things up for future patriots. I have not highlighted this most resent editing i.e. changes. I did this so previous highlighted info like below would remain unchanged. I have also gone ahead and deleted any text that may or may not have been done by a hacker, example of this is mentioned below.

Miss California;
I have one question for you sheephood members about Miss Calif. Do you think she has ever sucked a dick?
Now go back to debating if she should have won the title  knowing that she took those photos. Or was it her answer to that question? LOL!

60 minutes show on 05/10/09 about the UAV mission over Afghanistan;
Newjarheaddean, I bet when that reporter Lara Logan, walked into the hanger she thought to herself, if not actually stated "boy that's a big cock" referring to the Predator. LOL. I say that because the she gave us nothing more than the same information that has been in various articles for mouths. So IMO she was not trying to do her best in investigating for the report. No just trying to look her best.

However I did notice one thing interesting about the footage i.e video showing the troops on the ground. NO fighting holes at the "camp site" that's all it was. It's just like I've been saying all along, "units don't go out the gate without lots of UAVs and other air support" And IMO what we saw on the video was a classic "Bate and Bomb" mission i.e. put some "boys" out on a hill surround them with UAVs etc and see if the Taliban well try to approach.

Just admit it and show it, there's nothing top secret on the FEEDs, it just shows who is being killed and that includes kids. Come to think of it that would be a good reason to keep it all top secret.

updated same day as this post, posted 05/13/09
I almost forgot to mention that IMO that "Bate and bomb" tactic goes all the way back to Camp Rhino, where the Marines arrived to find the buildings paint still drying. All that sheephood feed about some drug lord setting up a distribution center. That site was SECURED, surveyed and built by CIA, Black ops engineers.

CNN 05/11/09 on the Kabul attack; Wolfe saying "U.S. troops going toe to toe, gun to gun with the Taliban".
Newjarheaddean, give me a brake please, what a bunch of sheephood members you are, if you believe that. And wolfe is lying or is a sheephood member too. I say he's lying out his stern.

Then the reporter at the scene came on and said some thing to the effect of, "suicide bomber Taliban", engaged ANA troops in Kabul, that called for help from the near by U.S. base". "U.S. troops entered the city and helicopters hovered over head" The Taliban took up refuge in a building and fought with ANA and U.S. troops for about six hours".

Newjarheaddean; I could go on and on about the terms chosen by the reporter, however the points I what to make are that IMO the helicopters delivered no troops on top of the Taliban. No Vietnam style Commando raid i.e. LZ assault to fight "toe to toe and gun to gun". No the U.S. troops IMO came out of the base in M-1 Tanks and other armored vehicles in a classic U.S. parade.



Ordinary Crime in the Area of operations;

Now I've heard the ordinary crime rate is pretty low, in these nations we are fighting in. However have you ever noticed how we get these reports on the news about an "unfolding situation", "the reports are sketchy but heres what we have right now". the reporter says. But never dose that report  or braking news end with "it turns out the bombing or killing was a local ordinary crime". Just a robbery etc.

My point is that IMO before we ever get these "unfolding situation" reports, the investigators at the scene know all about weather its a crime or part of the war. Nothing is allowed to be broad cast on the spur of the minute, i.e. before the authorities understand what the situation is. And of course the updates are almost entirely nothing but "body count" updates. Look how the Swat valley is being covered, excuse me reported, just like Gaza, oh so much information about the refugees, personal drama story after personal drama story, and no one has any thing to say about the fighting. No one on the battlefield is taking pictures especially the combatants. they just film suicide bombings and amateur snipers. And don't forget you sheephood members, "COVERED" is the key word here, its all being covered but not reported. And if your okay with that you deserve it. I"m not okay with it.

G-day!

JUST RELIGULUS

AHOY,

Update; 03/03/13 10:27 hours this is a final update to this post. I am just cleaning things up for future patriots. I have not highlighted this most resent editing i.e. changes. I did this so previous highlighted info like below would remain unchanged. I have also gone ahead and deleted any text that may or may not have been done by a hacker, example of this is mentioned below.


Update; 01:50 hours, 1/25/13 note the dashes and the (and sign, I'm not going to type that key) with the small (g and t) above the AHOY above. 


Democracy Now show on 05/06/09; The military is denying it allows its soldiers to proselytize (talk to others about their religious beliefs in order to convert new recruits) to Afghans, following the release of footage showing US soldiers in Afghanistan discussing how to distribute Bibles translated into Pashto and Dari. We speak to Air Force veteran and former Reagan administration counsel Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and journalist Jeff Sharlet, author of a Harper’s Magazine article on “The Crusade for a Christian Military.”

The above notes were transferred from the D.N. site.


Newjarheaddean; It is worst than I thought. After watching this segment with me, a friend of mine who dose not despise all "book thumpers" the way I do, asked me “don’t they know they are being counter productive to the war effort”? I replied, IMO yes, but they think there doing Gods work i.e. that God/it is on there side, just like the Taliban believe they are fighting for what god wants. 


Like I keep saying the USA brand i.e. name, would sell like hot cakes if the yoke of Christianity was not around the necks of our military i.e. if we were not seen as just some other bunch of "book thumpers", of yet another religion.

ANSWERING 03USMC AND OTHERS

Update; 03/03/13 this is a final update to this post, I never bothered to keep up with the replies on other sites. I have better things to do. I am not highlighting the editing here either just cleaning things up for future patriots. 
Note with this post I well update comments to each call sign separately.

Last updated 05/08/09

AHOY, this post well consist of my replies to the person who goes by the call sign 03USMC on the military international forum, as well as other immature, childish, "drank all the kool-aid" "sheephood" types. IMO IMF is nothing more than a social club i.e. they allow post aka threads titled "what did you eat to day" but when I tried to post some real war fighting information the thread was closed. In fact all my threads were closed, and then I was banned.
So the main reply I wonted to get in right now is this. 03USMC had made a commit about “there well always be minimum standards”.

Newjarheaddean; well since you 03USMC were not Marine enough to allow me to reply on your gossip social club site, I’ll tell you now…
The problem with your minimum standards is that they are no higher than the Army’s or IMO the boy scouts for that matter. So where is the special pride? The one area bragged about the most i.e. were the Marines are suppose to be stricter is in recruitment i.e. not allowing uneducated ( no diplomas) or criminals (with records) in. Well 03USMC I was special education in school and I know I flop on every written test, but I am a Marine. In the FMF there were members of our unit receiving news paper clippings from back on the block that were about their gang wars still going on etc. IMO those guys had records, that should have kept them out.
So 03USMC "close" that, or better yet use all your knowledge on regulations, procedures and general B.S. to make the Corp what it should be.


Let no Marine say if my training had only done it's job....


And before any of you sheephood members start in about me only serving two years, be a ware of the fact I chose to leave and that was right after being put up for Scout Sniper school by my commanding officer. In his words talking to me, "PFC (name) "you are my best most trust worthy Marine". IMO he was right, but he did not know why he was right. And I'm glad to say right now I could not put a 50 cal round though some persons chest. Although back then I know I would have. I'm sure glad I chose to get out.

03USMC reminds me of some professional sports player who has been playing the same game for 17 years (drinking all the kool-aid) then jumps into a taxi, driven by a man who's been behind that wheel for 20 years lessening to everyone etc. And then the sports player thinks he's going to tell the taxi driver how life works. My point is the old saying of "tell it to the Marines" dose not hold up anymore. A good example is all that crap about the Marines planning on doing things so different in Anbar i.e. living among the locals, not wearing sunglasses, taking classes on customs and wearing the Woodland camouflage to distinguish themselves. Then about two weeks after landing they just bombed and bulldozed it all to hell, and paid off the local thugs to keep the peace.


Last updated 05/08/09

Then there is Military.com I receaved all manor of insults from those best of the best. And one member going by the call sign "windtalkers" even suggested I commit suicide. Then on the Marine discussion page after I suggested that this one other member had better have that CAS over head if he and his unit found themselves on the battlefield with some of those well trained Taliban. I was banned from posting anymore. The reason stated was I was being disruptive.

I could not believe it. However after thinking about it for a while I realized that a good analogy would be that "I was like a scientist talking evolution in Church", so yeah I can see how that would be disruptive. Maybe I just should have suggested they pray more. lol.

Word of the day


1/18/11
THIS IS OF COURSE NO LONGER THE LATEST PREFACE TO MY TRI-F. MY APOLOGIES I DO NOT WANT TO DELETE AND LOSS LINKS I.E. TO GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS FOR MY BLOG.. 
PLEASE GO TO (TRI-F in progress posted Nov. of 2010) for the best version I am also working on a version titled Fragmented Fighting Facts 2012 in my pages section on the starboard side of this blog. This version dose not yet include the highlighting thou, The Nov. version dose. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.



Preface
This is my collection of combat notes. One might call it my anthology of combat tactics, techniques, methods and skills. The note taking began thirty-three years ago with the observation of 10 rules listed with in a book covering the French and Indian wars, entitled Roger’s Rangers. This preceded numerous sources including approximately one hundred books and about a dozen field manuals, of which a few were of WWII era. These were found at libraries, half price bookstores and garage sales. Since going on line in 2007, I have found material on web sites such as Bayonet strength, Defense and National Interest, Global security, Strategy page and Wikipedia.

Previously referred to as K.O.O.L.N. (acronym definition top secret) I have now titled my work Fragmented Fighting Facts or Tri-F; the name derives from the computer grammar function always alerting me to the fragmented nature of my sentences. This is due to the “just the facts, ma’am” manor the material is written i.e. there has been little if any effort to write in whole sentences or provide context. This is not to say there is no order with Tri-F, in fact there is a theme. I have laid out the information as one might expect a commander or members of a unit to recall it thus utilizing it to conduct a mission.

My original thoughts were to start with defense, due to the fact IMO a unit needs to be secure somewhere before it can go somewhere. However, I reasoned that well educated leaders with a solid plan is the bases of everything and one of the main reasons for setting up in the Defense to begin with i.e. to make plans. Therefore, we start with Planning, fallowed by the section on Defense, then there’s Preparations and conduct of patrols or PCP, and we end with Conduct of Engagements or COE, i.e. engagements being my word for shootouts. Each section of Tri-F consists of basic numbered rules, fallowed by detailed notes that either relate to, explain, or give examples pertaining to the basic rules. As with the general format of Tri-F, I have laid out each section’s basic rules, as one might need to recall them. This is most obvious in the last section COE starting with rule number one, Flash report, i.e. actions to take upon first contact with the enemy. This sections last basic rule deals with handling POWs.


Keep in mind this is a work in progress; I constantly discovering new information to add which in turn still at times requires rearranging things. At the same time, interestingly enough to me, I have not needed to rearrange my original order of the basic rules for quite some time. There are however, two instances where the detailed information fallowing a pair of basic rules became so similar I decided to combine the pair into one basic rule. These two occurrences are noted in footnotes. With my blog I plan on providing a “last updated” date at the beginning of every section, subsection or numbered basic rule, so patriots can fallow the progress with out having to read Tri-F in it’s entirety each time to stay current.

Out of all the information contained within this work, only an estimated 1% was taught to me while I was serving in the U.S.M.C. Moreover, to put a fine point on it, it’s worth noting I served in Charlie Company, First Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division, i.e. an Infantry unit. Before my discharge (after a two year cruse), I attended Jungle Warfare School in the northern training area of Okinawa (for two weeks), Mountain Warfare School in Korea (for one week) and Combat Town Camp Pendleton for MOUT training (for one day). I did not take part in any amphibious training nor did I ever go to Twenty Nine Palms for Desert Warfare training. We did ride around in AAVs once at Camp Pendleton. All in all I would say the only things I missed out on were a beach landing (at Coronado I believe) and a little sun burn, due to the fact that those twenty nine palms, I was told in the early eighties were all located at the gate of that base. Needless to say, the training did not impress me, and I now know it was not going to get any better as some suggested to me at the time, and still others later claimed that I should have just stayed in longer.

With my position on the lack of training, I do wish to make it perfectly clear that I do support the women and men serving in the U.S. armed forces. I also believe them to be as brave as any people on earth. My concern is in the way they are being sacrificed. I want people to understand my experience and IMO a lot of evidence suggest Uncle Sam intends to use his infantry in ways that dose not include training any generation in the art of traditional Guerilla combat tactics i.e. as a Commando would be. I am not talking about SWAT team close quarter tactics, like the Stick dynamic entry. That tactic should be called the “cluster fuck”. Just call that sort of tactic what it is NYPD (Cops T.V. show bad-boys, bad-boys) in Afghanistan. The problem is that that tactic was developed by police departments to deal with an objective occupied by drugged up party animals, i.e. untrained civilians. The police never use it in a spur of the minute situation. They use it when the house has been under constant surveillance for mouths in some cases and the police know all manor of information about everyone in the house and the structure and neighborhood in general. The cops choose a time when everyone is pasted out from partying the night before and have long lost any weapons (between the cushions or under the bed) they might have had on them as show peaces during the party. The primary reason for the large numbers of police in close proximity is to make sure the gang dose not think the raid is a rival gang “brake in” and thus resist in any way. There is lots of yelling too, thus reinforcing the message that no one is trying to be covert like one would be to get away with a crime.

This brings up an intriguing observation of mine; that being that by the book an assault should be made from the top down, yet the troops in Afghanistan and elsewhere use the Stick dynamic entry and usually enter from the front door, like a SWAT team, however resent high profile raids show the SWAT teams attacking from the top down. Examples you may recall are the raids on the Shinning path in Peru in 2000 and the Mumbai raid on the Jewish center in 2008. IMO this proves the existence of what I’ll refer to as a “need to know” training policy by various governments, the purpose being to limit the number of true Commandos that could become tomorrows rebels, apposing corrupt governments. One last thing about the Stick, IMO every single time the unit conducting one of these foolish Stick dynamic entries comes under fire i.e. runs into resistance, the Stick brakes i.e. the whole unit evacuates and awaits some kind of support form tanks, guns, tubes or air. Bottom line IMO the Stick is used as a probing tactic and is meant to be a moral boosting show peace tactic to make the unit feel as if it has taken a hill, which was nothing more than another empty building, that IMO Intel suggested, was the case before the entry was ordered.


It also seems to me that in light of the old saying “you can fight a war with bombs and blockades but only boots on the ground can win it” (that Uncle Sam has now revised, as fallows) “you can win a war with bombs and blockades, but only the infantry can end the war”, Uncle Sam has gone one more step and decided to use local i.e. indigenous people for the infantry role. It’s all similar to the Mujahideen not being allowed by various governments to return to their homelands after fighting the Soviets. And as for the U.S. and other Western nations, training foreigners to fight a counter insurgency goes. IMO this training includes nothing more than police procedures i.e. conducting investigations, forensics, searching individuals and buildings to collect evidence and yes serving warrants with the all mighty stick tactic. And of course, lots of “new innovative techniques and tactics” involving CAS and IMO (Old) high tech equipment the U.S. Military Industrial Complex wants to clear out of the warehouses.

All in all IMO Uncle Sam has chosen to put just about all his eggs in one advanced technology system, think Star Wars Storm Troopers or Matrix i.e. the Operator or Morpheus trying to guide Neo and others to safety. IMO it looks something like this; (x) unit go to (x) address, kick in front door, use stairs to your right, go south down hallway to (x) door, it is unlocked, interning room go to (x) window looking out window to the north you well see your target running though the neighbors garden. All this information provided by a fleet of satellites as well as Near space assets that are never mentioned by the media as current military assets and of course there’s the robots, UAVs and a flood of other covertly deployed sensors as well as covert eves dropping of any civilian electronic devices in the Area of operations. Thus in light of these and similar so called “new innovative, techniques and tactics” (notice the media and governments choice of words as if were talking Commando tactics i.e. why not use some new high tech terms the system is so eager to introduce us all to normally as a matter of routine), IMO Uncle Sam has placed the traditional Guerrilla combat tactics, on the back burner and is hoping they all go the way of other black arts. This is not just true of the infantry; let us take a peak at aerial combat. Dose anyone out there actually think today’s U.S. pilots are turning and burning, pulling high G maneuvers trying to hit the entry windows and get inside the bandits turn. Think any pilot has conducted a yo-yo or split S maneuver lately or made the choice of a single or double circle fight. Its all about stealth, ECM and missiles. IMO this is why the U.S. Navy is not concerned with not having a front line fighter equal to the USAF F-22 Raptor. An article I recently read on Strategy page mentioned a lot of talk about an F/A-18E at an air show displaying a little F-22 silhouette decal i.e. a simulated Kill credit. IMO the F/A- 18E did not gun down that kill.

However if the electronics ever fail (maybe a shift in the axis of earths electromagnetic field, passed a certain point or perhaps a record size solar flare) IMO it well be the masters of the age-old Guerrilla combat tactics i.e. Tri-F basic rules that survive, keeping in mind “no one wins”.

I also wish, that those who join the various services where told all this up front i.e. “we do not intend to train you as a traditional Commando”.

Another thing I would like everyone to consider is that; what makes a Marine special is not the training she or he receives, no it’s the steel the youth demonstrates when they choose to join the Marines. Even when compared to the Special Forces, who are only specialists in their particular field, once again mostly high tech specialties and whose ranks are filled with older personnel that have already been serving and have graduated from a boot camp. Who are then usually chosen i.e. coached into changing their MOS. I am aware of the change in recruitment policy after 2001 allowing for direct entry into the S.F. IMO a rarity and IMO it is still not the same as just choosing to go to a Marine Corps Recruit Depot from the start.

Further more, to those who just well not accept the truth about the lack of training along the lines of traditional Guerrilla combat tactics. I can now say that I have exchanged comments with a number of Iraqi and Afghanistan combat vets. These comments can be found on the internet if you Google up my call sign, Newjarheaddean also spelled with one (D). IMO it is obvious that the tactics I speak of are news to the vets, some have made commits that proves in combat they were just winging it. And no, I don’t believe that all the vets are observing some kind of code of silence on these tactics including the vets who are against the wars. Unless everyone wants to say that YouTube and other internet companies are conspiring to edit all combat footage that shows these tactics being used and that, the vets are staging other videos that show them (albeit with great bravery) as armatures without a clue and winging it. If anyone ever sees video, showing the tactics listed in Tri-F being used, be sure and provide a link with your comment. I once saw a flash of film on CNN showing combat in Lebanon during the 1980s that showed some of these tactics being used by a Guerrilla fighter. I well also say I do believe that UAV footage is edited by the Pentagon to keep the public from seeing the few but well trained Taliban and other Guerrilla fighters that are using these tactics. Alternatively, maybe people think our professional highly trained well-equipped military is unable to defeat 10 – 20 thousand religious extremist amateur thugs in almost a decade of fighting. All the while killing at lease by my estimate 100 a mouth including dozens of top commanders.


Let me also say, on the numbers of U.S. physiological injuries, yes I said injuries i.e. WIA, IMO deserving of a Purple Heart. The Government portrays these cases as a result of fighting a war that is “unlike any other war we have fought before” (lol). Facing an enemy that is fighting in some mysterious and or cowardly manor that simply cannot be countered by military means. I believe the high numbers are a result of US forces fighting in a manor that is suicidal i.e. pointless and counter productive to the real world situation. Example; you have a young brave American ready to fight for the nation, while on patrol someone shoots at the unit from some building, everyone scrambles for cover, as they spray and pray, then after determining the location if they can, the commander calls in some sort of CAS, if someone’s brains have been blow out or the location is vague, a real “crowd pleaser” maybe used i.e. 2000 pounder. IMO this is how 90% of engagements (fought by regular infantry units) are resolved. Special Forces are now and in the feature more and more regular infantry well be using the Matrix. And to those that think this is the exception I say show me the number of WIA or KIA (On either side) by small arms fire i.e. during traditional firefights. Even if one includes sniper fire those figures are really low. So IMO after witnessing all the carnage and innocent civilian life being lost and receiving all those looks from the witnesses, it is the American that realizes it is his unit that is not fighting right. This is reinforced and really sinks in back in the states when the vet is asked to tell the Commando stories that never occurred and thus the vet must tell the truth i.e. give up the Commando reputation, keep it all inside or start lying. If the first option is chosen that unveiling reality is demoralizing and makes it all not worth it. If either one of the other chooses are made IMO the vet becomes the ticking bomb. And I can tell you all that many times, I have recalled being told once that “when you go home keep your mouth shut about the things we did. If you don’t you well be thought of as a liar or crazy and either which way your life well be over”. That First Sergeant was right, but like my daddy use to say, “He’s right but he dose not know why he’s right” i.e. IMO the First Sgt. thought of what we did in terms of remarkable heroic feats. However, IMO certainly since the beginning of the Vietnam era, it is the lack of training i.e. the manor in which our service women and men are fighting that keeps this tragedy going.

I would also suggest the vets of today are just like I was 25 or so years ago in the sense that they know there training is lacking, however, they just cannot explain what’s missing. Well I now know the tactics they and I should have been trained in and I can now say, “The PFC that told the Corp it was out of step, now has provided the proof”. What surprises me is that most vets it seems don’t care at all about the tactics I speak of and seem to view me as an unpatriotic “party popper” lol, when I’m just a U.S. Marine trying to improve the Corps and save lives. Bottom line IMO the infantry needs to consist of unmarried i.e. undistracted, NO CHILDREN, dedicated true professionals, trained in the tactics listed in Tri-F and many more I am sure exist.

And to those that say “chivalry is for the museums” I say “first we must have peace on earth”.

In summery I do encourage every Marine and any Warrior i.e. Commando types to read and study this information discussing and sharing it with others and me, thus making the most of it and forming your own conclusions. Above all, keep training and studying a side from the “new innovative techniques and tactics” taught by Uncle Sam, this can only saves lives. And Remember IMO it’s not just what you know it’s how competent you are and ultimately who is in the right that determines the victor. If nothing else IMO you well understand much more about how Uncle Sam’s enemies are fighting. And if the Matrix crashes (lol) or for any reason you find yourself up close and personal with those Bad-actors you well have a fighting chance.

QUALIFYING SUMMERY

I do not claim all the information stated in Tri-F is indeed a fact and should be fallowed like a gospel. Hence, the Three golden rules (IMO some of my most important original ideas) listed just prior to the Planning section. With Tri-F, I in fact predict one will find errors, especially with any of the numerical data or formulas; I just don’t have the basic math skills I should have picked up in grade school (when I was studying tactics lol) to double check such information. In addition, as already stated this is a work in progress, much of the information still needs editing i.e. organizing, rearranging of location, word changes or reduction. With Tri-F, only a few acronyms and or phases are listed in the order in which they were discovered. Quotes I would say have all been paraphrased.

I would also like to state that a few times repeat has accrued in Tri-F, reasons for this are that the information preceding the repeat did require context to answer a question or to make a point, especially when I was giving an example. Lastly, IMO some things are just worth repeating. That being said, my personal contribution here is the order i.e. format and condensed nature meaning no filibuster bull shit repeat I have found in every FM I ever read. In light of these attributes, IMO Tri-F is an extremely valuable tool for every Marine and any Commando or Warrior.

I am aware that some of this information may no longer apply, however I feel commonsense can determine if the rule, suggestion or data would no longer hold up. Many times people have questioned me about the validity of the basic rules; however, I did not make the vast majority of them up. As already stated I copied them from numerous sources many published by the U.S. printing department i.e. Field Manuals. There for let me remind everyone that these rules developed individually over the ages, some indeed going back as far as warfare itself. So to summarize IMO on average over the ages these rules have proven to be the best rules of thumb i.e. most beneficial to those waging war on battlefield earth.

Any additional information suggestions and especially corrections to any information will be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to teaching and learning on my primary blog Newjarheaddean Fighting Hole that should be available on Google searches soon.

Afghanistan Combat

AHOY,

Update; 03/02/13 11:13 hours. I have done a final update to this post. I also removed all the characters that appeared on this post that I never typed in. It was a series of characters that some hacker did I guess. Anyhow I had let them remain so google could see them etc. I decided to day they had been there long enough. I did not highlight any of the editing or changes I made here, I'm trying to clean this place up.


Original text of post starts here;

well things are worse than I thought, it seems most serving not only don’t know traditional Guerrilla combat tactics but don’t care either, but I’m compromising the Bull Sh*t cover on this commando reputation BS. And I know and can proudly say I've taught myself 100% more about combat than I was ever trained for when I was in harms way. If all you highly educated commanders would get your Brain Housing Groups out of the whole in the sand, life’s would be saved. It all reminds me of the sub prime mortgages scam, i.e. sad pride mongers.
Now lets look at the keystone cops situations with Operation Anaconda, these are just a few highlights, TF Hammer having to use their head lights after one truck over turned, sub unit of TF Hammer getting hammered by Grim 31 an AC-130 gunship.

What a landing by the 101 first AB and 10th mountain units, situation describes Taliban occupying high ground around valley, (Yeah, think) yeah that high ground is just where the 101 and 10th should have wonted to land in the first place right? Then there’s the situation with the 1/87th in the “half pipe” IMO i.e. dead space the Taliban had zeroed their mortars already. And was probably the location of a large percentage of u.s. WIA. Speaking of WIA the only motor 1/87 brought with them was taken out, IMO that act was the source of most WIA i.e. due to chain reaction of poorly stored ammo. Then there was 1/87 in its southern blocking position also said to be receiving the heaviest fire. Then just before nightfall (you got to be lying), I thought we owned the night so just as the tide might have turned they withdrawal to "reinforce" lol (you got to be lying) the unit to the north. Just opposite of what should have been done i.e. why not have northern unit reinforce southern. IMO generals were putting all the sheep in one pin to circle the wagons i.e. Shepard drones and other CAS, so units would not be over run that night.
On the request for the use of sub-munitions being denied, IMO the plan was not to coat the entire boarder with them. No the generals knew about the half dozen or so routes out of the area, they did not want to nor did they place units in those areas to block any Badactors escape lol or "infiltration". IMO the generals did not want to split the units up out of fear they would be over run.

And then there is Takur Ghar hill, no way anyone’s making since of that situation. It was stated that the pilot could not turn the helo around (like its a big 18 wheeler) to return to the hill. Why did he lift off in the first place? They were under heavy fire, so what the pilot takes off while chock is exiting? And the (QRF) i.e. Delta force splits up in route to hill because why, they thought they were needed else where, where? Just like in Operation Red wing, and on and on….

And then there was this UK battle I read about, which puts my respect for the UK service men and women in doubt. This situation involved what was referred to as “Three walls”. In the battle basically a UK unit was walking right down the middle of an open field with an (L) shaped ditch (containing a Taliban unit in waiting) on one corner another ditch along the opposite side and an old building with only three remaining walls. Once the Badactors LOL, sprung their perfectly executed classic ambush the UK forces actually took up position at Three Walls. IMO they should have never been walking in the middle of that field, and could have used three walls as cover without taking up residence in it, i.e. positioning themselves so the structure was between them and the Badactors. I’m glad the Badactors did not have the structure rigged with explosives. And I can here the vets now all drunk in some pub yelling "were you at three walls".
Keep in mind the Taliban are armed like the 1960s Vietcong, although no one seems to know where they get their weapons. I suspect the CIA, lol, This last suggestion is based on my belief that those running things in this world are really only playing war. G-day!

Update 8/2/09

Ever notice when ever you here about British KIA the report well just list the X number of British Marines or soldiers KIA and a location. It almost never mentions IEDs as being the cause of death. However U.S. KIA reports are almost always accompanied by the IED acronym. My point is that IMO this is do to the fact the British are traveling light and are getting up close to the enemy i.e. using actual infantry/guerrilla combat tactics. Where as the U.S. is still riding around in vehicles like the Soviet's the U.S criticized so much. So the UK and other European troops are having many more shoot outs with the taliban, where as the U.S. is running over IEDs.

Update 8/12/09

AHOY,
Associated Press article by Alfred de Montesquiou 8/14/09
Town of DAHANEH, operation/offensive "Eastern Resolve 2," note things stated in the article are in italics. Newjarheaddean’s responses are not.
Associated Press journalists traveling with the first wave said militants fired small arms, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades after helicopters dropped the troops over Taliban lines.
Newjarheaddean; I thought there were no lines, and IMO the drop was way over i.e. past or beyond any Taliban locations. Later the report writes…
The Marines arrived in helicopters under cover of darkness, but at morning light, militants unleashed their weapons.
So like I said way over their, not in the town, and the opposition fired first.
So most likely the Marines hunkered down in a defensive position and it was the Taliban who came out fighting. 
The Taliban put up such fierce resistance and Marines said they suspected the militants knew the assault was coming.
IMO if the Taliban knew the Marines were coming they would have shot a few RPGs off at the LZ or HLZ (helicopter landing zone) for you modern professional warfighters. LoL
It was the first time NATO troops had entered Dahaneh, which has been under Taliban control for years.
Well, so much for “routing the Taliban reports” just a few years back by the same media reporting all this now.
Marines said they killed between seven and 10 militants in Wednesday's push and seized about 66 pounds (30 kilograms) of opium, which the militants use to finance their insurgency.
Notice the use of the term militants here, not Taliban. However the goal is to associated the Taliban with drugs. It is a fact, that various drugs are used by the Taliban for treating the wounded. I’m surprised the Marines did not find more drugs given the areas history. IMO the Taliban do not carry or store drugs to sale. And IMO if the numbers Intel is correct, there was and are a lot more then a dozen or so Taliban in that town.
The goal is to cut off the Taliban from a major rear base, and reclaim the area's market district. It is hoped this would have a ripple effect through nearby villages, making civilians more willing to cooperate with NATO forces.
Most likely we well never see any video of the open thriving market, the town well turn into a ghost town and the ripple effect well be the refugee flow.
"In the long term, it could have tremendous effects for the entire province," said Martin, whose company is based in Naw Zad, five miles (10 kilometers) to the north.
So unless the company is going to be based 10 kilometers to the north in name only the company sure isn't going to be able to stay and live with the locals in Dahaneh.
I saw some video on this operation; I wish the camera men would learn the old “spray and pray” i.e. hold the camera up and over the wall as they (the cameramen) stay down behind the wall, to film all those Taliban being hit by all those rounds the Marines are putting down range. IMO 99.99 % of the time there’s nothing to be shooting at. The video showed what looked like a LAV breaching a wall, I would bet that wasn't necessary and that, it will, do wonders for the P.R., but it's their (2/3s) Hue. LOL.
This article mentions the same unit (2/3) that was involved in operation Red wings. I recently posted on DNI about the book covering this supposedly great true story. IMO the article above and the book is 90% B.S.. Below is my DNI post the topic was “how would Boyd (i.e. the late renown military sage Col. Boyd USAF) analyze Afghanistan"…
I like to think Boyd would point out that observing Afghanistan though the eyes of the western media is more misleading than helpful. Example, I just read the book “Victory Point” by Ed Darak. He begins the book with a real trashing of the medias and its poor coverage, then IMO doubles down on the nonsense.
He talks about MT. warfare training but never is a rope or knot mentioned. He only mentions UAVs excuse me UASs (this was an acronym that thank god never took hold the S stood for system) a couple of times on or about page 150 and 240. I got a kick out of him writing that the S2 was looking over a hard copy of an oblique aerial photo, LOL, like the S2 would not have a feed on his laptop to manipulate in all kinds of ways. NVGs are mentioned only twice, once that a pair had stopped a bullet lol yes he used that age old sh*t. And someone should tell those over dramatic yelling NCOs that sound travels real far in the valleys. And then after all the sweating, vomiting, burning thighs, climbing all day long that was mention, Ahmad Shah i.e. the villain leader and his crew of evil doers always had the high ground.
He mentions on page XVII exceeding his officially allotted time of ten days by nearly three weeks. IMO the government gives the ten day pass, which is just enough time to get you in place, then once your pass is up, if you should try reporting some real news, you are subject to arrest for not having an up to date chit. That is to say "It appears your pagers are out of order", lol.
And I just bought me a new monitor with great resolution, and so now I can say that the always/still grainy combat video is IMO purposely that way and the sheephood is not only silent, they cheer it on i.e. think its great as long as the porn is H.D.

UPDATE 8/14/09 note this information was moved from "All according to plan" post posted on...

05/19/09 Bill Roggio of The Standard wrote on 05/18/09 The Pakistani Army's idea of fighting a counterinsurgency is to move the artillery up or call in air or helicopter strikes, and level entire villages. This of course makes the Army hated:
Newjarheaddean show me one entire village destroyed. IMO they have destroyed an entire ranch or farm but no entire villages. Anyways where is the out cry here from the U.S. government, that is so concerned about civilian casualties. This is the same war we are fighting. These thugs (Pakistan Army) are destroying all our efforts to win hearts and minds in that area (LOL). I also noticed the U.S. media had no problem showing that image of the missile attack by Pak helo, on that one house. Again why dose the media not understand they are undermining our allies efforts (LOL). IMO its all propaganda to make the U.S. look like the good guys.

UPDATE 8/16/09 yesterday on CNN I noticed some video on a shoot’em up in Afghanistan. notice I said shoot’em up not shoot out or firefight.
What a bunch of hoop and hype drama queen B.S. Those kids (U.S. Army unit) were shooting at any and everything in the area. The impacts from there shots were kicking up so much dust and thus providing the perfect concealment for anyone who would have been out there shooting at them. The reporter said “they are looking, looking and then, they spotted it, muzzle flashes”. WHAT B.S., why did the camera not catch the muzzle flash. And then the camera did its quick half a*ss zoom and out and zoom and sweep etc B.S. IMO there was no depth (as in brush for anyone to take up position in) to the steep cliff that was being killed by the Army.
Then the segment showed to kids (troopers), all worked up into thinking they had survived a real firefight, one was asked by a reporter “why do you think you’re here”? He laughed and said “you don’t ask that question” then turned to another member and sad “right” etc. the other kid added “you don’t ask any questions, you get in trouble that way”.
Oh wow, I thought what combat veterans we have here, actually no different than your average gang banger, except the gang banger has to provide his own meals and other essential logistics.

UPDATE 8/21/09
I saw it, and I know lots of others are aware of it too. However I bet I’m the only one that well point it out. Can you imagine, the only one that well point it out.

While watching a link TV video on the door to door operations in Dahaneh, I saw that it was the ANA members that are kicking in the doors and interring the homes while the US Marines stand guard out side. And I have no doubt if someone inside opens fire the Marines well spray the place down with lead, take cover and call for CAS.

My point; the western media words its reports to make it sound like the ANA members are merely doing interviews and searching through belongings to oblige the locals. When the situation is ANA are first and foremost conducting the raids, with the Marines backing them up. IMO mainly with CAS.

9/01/09

While watching Democracy Now on or about the 26th of August, I saw a report about a helicopter fly by shoot'em up on this hospital where a Taliban leader of some kind was suppose to be inside getting treatment.
This is a good example of a point I made a while back, that being that when the U.S. finds out where one of these important targets (HVT, LOL) is they well not send in the troops to get them, (missing out on all the valuable info etc.) lol and IMO saving the lives of all the should be Rambo's. (true professional Warfighters) that the U.S. dose not have.

So like I said on the 16th "U.S. troops are no different than your average gang banger". However they do use "fly by-s" not just "drive by-s".

G-day!
