Update; 06/12/13 10: 17 hours this is only a change in the title and this minor change below. However lets see if the color code holds or changes. I have been having to repost the entire post to make changes and keep highlighting.
NOW! The "Preface" as well as other initial material preceding the bulk or actual "Fragmented Fighting Facts" I feel is very important for all "sheephooders" to understand. Thus I well include it here and with each maiden post of each section. If you have read this information before at least note I have mentioned that I well be addressing this so called "remaking of the Corps" under Sec. of the Navy James Webb and CMC Alfred Gray, in another series of posts, I am working on, titled, "Washing the Corps for burial".
For Patriots, who wish to view a "post" or "page" of a complete version of the “Fragmented Fighting Facts” aka Tri-F see, "Tri-F in progress" post posted November 13, 2010. Or "Fragmented Fighting Facts 2012", “page” posted in 2012. Or "Fragmented Fighting Facts 2013", “page” posted in March 2013. This last version is not a full version, it does not contain the “Conduct of Engagements” section, which was posted separately in its own “page” under the title “Conduct of Engagements 2013”. ALSO BE AWARE THAT ONLY THIS NEW SERIES OF "POSTS" WE BE UPDATED IN THE FUTURE.
Preface
The “Color code”; Pink
highlighted material indicates that the material is questionable factually or
needs to be defined i.e. explained or studied more by me. This could be a math
formula, which I do not have the mathematical knowledge to confirm. It could
also be material that imo, has been passed off as factual i.e. an “official
revealed fact” that I am not buying. Or, it could be a personal note i.e. a
reminder etc. for me. And lastly it could be a question I am seeking an answer
to. Yellow is location undecided and or unedited material. This is material
that has, just been pasted into Tri-F without me reading it in full to
determine what material to keep or not. Green means a change has been made i.e.
an “Update” added material in at least its semi permanent place, lol, green
will also be used for “Reference” entries i.e. notes, suggesting farther
reading of related material within Tri-F. These “Reference” entries are located
after the material in question i.e. after locating a “Reference” entry; one
would look back, reading the previous material to locate the material the
“Reference” entry is referring, you too. Farther more this material you are
being referred to, could be a single sentence or involve pages of Knowledge.
Most importantly though, by using green high-light to mark any updates,
“Patriots” (my word for viewers of my blog) can stay current without having to
read Tri-F in its entirety. Red is material I find of particular importance.
So, this is my collection of
combat notes. One might call it this Marine’s anthology of combat tactics,
techniques, methods and skills. The “Christian Right Wing Conservatives” might
choose to call it my “Manifesto”. The note taking began about thirty-three
years ago with my 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 the WWII era. These were found at libraries,
half price bookstores and garage sales. Since going on line in 2007, I have
located knowledge I feel is worthy of being included in Tri-F at web sites such
as “Bayonet strength” (BS), “Defense and National Interest” (DNI), note; this
site no longer exists on the web i.e. it was supposedly sold and incorporated
into another site. “Global security”
(GS), “Strategy page” (SP), “Combat lessons” (CL), “Wikipedia” (W)., “how stuff
works” (HSW), “PBS” (PBS), and “Sniper Flashcards” (SF).
To identify the origins of
material, I am in the process of placing the color coded letters you see above
in parenthesis, at the beginning of sentences containing the material in
question.
(For example; (SP)
1/31/09 under “information warfare”; titled “the American standard”; Right
now, all the sensors (vidcams, radars, IR) capture data at different
resolutions and speeds. The new TCDL (Tactical Common Data Link) makes this
sharing possible by translating all the formats to a standard data stream.
Currently, the army can share UAV and helicopter videos with ground troops, and
some air force video can be used by soldiers equipped with special equipment.)
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 in, 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.
The fallowing down to "POWs" pertains only to one of the full versions of Tri-F.
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 my word for shootouts. Each section of Tri-F consists of “basic” numbered “rules”, 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, 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 “basic 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’m constantly discovering new information to add, which in turn still at times
requires adding or 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, highlighted in Pink.
“NOW”! Out
of all the information contained within Tri-F, only an estimated 1% was taught
to this Marine, while I was in training or while on active duty, 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” at Camp Pendleton for
MOUT training (for one day). I did not take part in any exercises I would consider
amphibious training; we did ride around in AAVs once at Camp Pendleton. Nor did
I ever go to Twenty Nine Palms for “Desert Warfare” training. 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 combat 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. And I well address this whole so called “remaking of
today’s Corps” by Secretary of the Navy James Webb and CMC General Alfred Gray,
in my series of post titled “Washing the Corps for burial”. 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 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 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. And
the troops are even yelling, Go, Go, Go, Go, etc. as they entry.
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 or Assault 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 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 units 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 from tanks, guns, tubes, other
crew served weapons 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” (that
IMO, Uncle Sam has now revised, 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 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) so called high tech equipment the U.S. Military Industrial Congressional
Complex (MICC) 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, dominated
by machines, 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 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 we’re 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 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 missiles, mostly BVR. IMO this is why the
U.S. Navy is no longer 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 out maneuver and gun down that kill. The
truth is U.S. forces could equip just about any commercial aircraft on the
market with all the latest western high
tech sensors and weapons systems and out fight any other air force’s aircraft
on earth.
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
earth’s 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 IMO are only
specialists in their particular fields, 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 and have adjusted to all the
hoop and hype hurry up and wait pressure 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 that would be based on I.Q. for some high tech MOS, in
just about every case. And, IMO it is still not the same as just choosing to go
to a Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego Ca. or MCRD Paris Island, S. C. 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. Along those lines, 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 of PTSD 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 of the attacker 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
style system. And to those that think the former example 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 (the “official revealed facts” always do) so called, “sniper fire” (which is mostly thugs taking pop shots) 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 choices
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 35 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 pooper” 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. It seems here, I have found some logic
on this “Sniper Flashcards” site discussing
desertion, which supports my opinion. (SF) Men desert to save their wives and
children, not themselves. The principle advantage of the invaders is that their
families are safe. Never pad troop numbers with married men; have them dig
bunkers. Recruit only unmarried men and women to be civilian snipers. Women
make better snipers than men because they posture less. Newjarheaddean i.e. (NJD), IMO the
main reason men feel such pressure to get married, is the immature fear of
being accused of being gay if not married by say 25 years of age. However the
“free sex” orgy style of life evolving in the last ten to twenty years is
making this last suggestion of mine obsolete.
And to those that say “chivalry is
for the museums” I say “first we must have peace on earth”.
In light of all this, I do
encourage every Marine and any Warfighter i.e. Commando types to read and study
this Knowledge 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 aside from the “new
innovative techniques and tactics” taught by Uncle Sam, this can only save
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.
This is general information I have found on various
sites, to support my Matrix theory; some info has been edited and or
rearranged. Most of it was obtained from the web site “how stuff works”(HSW).

The “Exoskeleton” will merge structure, power, control, actuation and
biomechanics. Here are some of the challenges:
Structural materials - have
to be made of strong, lightweight and flexible materials.
Power source – last at least
24 hours.
Control - must be seamless. Users
must be able to function normally move smoothly with system engaged.
Actuation - must be quiet and
efficient.
Powering the suit is a 2- to
20-watt micro turbine generator fueled by a liquid hydrocarbon. A plug-in

embedded in the helmet provide three hours of back-up power.
(SP) Infantry, Bullet
Proof Batteries; March 3, 2009: A defense contractor has come up with a clever
idea for solving the problem of infantry having to haul around so many
batteries. While the ultimate solution is fuel cells, an interim solution is a
modified E-SAPI ballistic plate with a 10mm thick lithium ion battery fitted
onto it as an additional layer. The bulletproof plate is normally 25x30cm
(10x12 inches) and 2.5cm (1inch) thick. Actually, there are four of these flat
batteries on each plate. A special vest contains attachments for the various
equipment batteries you need to recharge, or a direct connection to some
equipment. The E-SAPI plates normally weigh about 5 lbs, adding the panels adds
about a lb. Overall; you carry about 10% less weight and more comfortably. The
powered plates will be available for sale by the end of the year (from BAE),
and two of them are supposed to supply enough juice for a typical 72 hour
mission.
The helmet has 360-degree
situational awareness and voice amplification. GPS, radio with wide and local
area network connections. With onboard computers, soldiers will be aware of
their own bodies and the action around them, communication between soldiers,
will use sensors that measure vibrations of the cranial cavity, eliminating the
need for an external microphone. This bone-conduction technology allows
communication with one another, and controls the menus visible through the
drop-down eyepiece i.e. a voice activated HUD system. The sound system will
allow you to know where that sniper or mortar round came from, detect other
soldiers out to a couple of kilometers, i.e. focus and amplify particular
sounds while canceling out noises at a certain decibel so preventing damage to
ears.
The interface will be similar
to Play station 2/xbox due to service personals familiarity to these systems.
(SP) 1/31/09 under information
warfare/the American standard; Right now, all the sensors (vidcams, radars, IR)
capture data at different resolutions and speeds. The new TCDL (Tactical Common
Data Link) makes this sharing possible by translating all the formats to a
standard data stream. Currently, the army can share UAV and helicopter videos
with ground troops, and some air force video can be used by soldiers equipped
with special equipment.
U.S. Army currently employs
Blue Force Tracker (BFT). The system provides commanders and other units
real-time picture of AO tracking unit movements etc. U.S.M.C. used BFT,
although they initially opted for a more portable and rugged system called the
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System, or "ePLRS." Both give
real-time tracking. The downside to both systems, however, is they are bulky, old
and require computer operators who should be on patrol.
SP October 18,
2008: U.S. Army is building a new version of its "BFT" (for
vehicles on the battlefield). During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, (BFT,
GPS/satellite telephone devices) were hastily placed in thousands of vehicles.
Anyone with a laptop, satellite data receiver, the right software and access
codes could then see where everyone was (via a map showing blips for each BFT
user). Currently the army and Marines have 55,000 BFTs (and far fewer laptops
equipped to display BFT data) and plans to get at least as many of the BFT2
units, and perhaps as many as 120,000. BFT2 is expected to start shipping in
two years. There are already eight BFT2 prototypes undergoing testing.
Panzeric on (SP) posted; ok I think I can
give you guys some much needed answers on this matter. I am the digital master
trainer on the fbcb2/bft a.k.a. blue force tracker for my battalion and one of
the 30 in my brigade that has the master certification. Not bad for an 11b eh.
Anyways BFT for the most part is not a laptop system. And it cost a lot more
than $1500 stated in the article per system. Each vehicle system cost 40k and
even the laptop models cost more than the $1500 stated. As far as my brigade
goes each battalion will get two laptop BFT systems and they stay in the
battalion TOC. One is unclassified while the second is classified. Everyone
else gets the vehicle mounted system. If you're a company commander then you
get a route planning kit that will allow you to detach the monitor from the
vehicle and set it up in the company CP. Ok regarding the whole falling into
enemy hands things, its just not possible. If a vehicle equipped with BFT was
overrun then it can pretty much self destruct itself by frying its CPU. You can
destroy it yourself with literally a couple of clicks on the monitor or another
vehicle can tag your vehicle and destroy it themselves. Plus once that
system turns on, everyone can see you so if you know what vehicle was overrun
one day and shows up on screen two days later you pretty much know where that
bad guy is. All of this is unclassified information and should be easy to look
up. The army is trying to get the whole system classified though. Regarding the
5 minute delay that’s true and false. For a ground vehicle its position will
update every 5 min or after several hundred meters. Helicopters
update every 30 sec and I believe 800m. Depending on how you have your filters
set up you can send in a sitrep or message within a few seconds. I hope
this answers some of your questions.

Liquid Body Armor - This
liquid body armor is made from magneto rheological fluid (MR fluids) a fluid
that remains in a liquid state until the application of a magnetic field.
One type of MR fluid consists
of small iron particles suspended in silicon oil. The oil prevents the
particles from rusting. The fluid transforms from liquid to solid in just
milliseconds when a magnetic field or electrical current is applied to it. The
current causes the iron particles to lock into a uniform polarity and stack on
top of each other, creating a shield. How hard the substance becomes depends on
the strength of the magnetic field or electrical current. Once the charge or
magnetic field is removed, the particles unlock, and the substance goes back to
a fluid state.

Note there is an
increasing use of automation i.e. computers, robots etc in our modern military
when it comes to administration and logistics, maintenance as well as planning.
IMO with maintenance, why not equip personnel with a HUD type system (and now we can consider the new "google glass" with the right military apps) with
graphics, diagrams and schematics downloaded and able to project these as images onto actual parts and thus
illustrate to mechanics or anyone else that might be available, how to perform
maintenance task on all this complicated equipment. Thus, there would be less
need for traditional training of maintenance and perhaps medical personnel too. An
interesting article I found a long the lines of this kind of technology; (Time
magazine Nov. 10 2008, page 82, University of Washington, Babak Parviz’s bionic
contacts. They use tiny LEDs and are powered by radio waves and solar cells).
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 Field Manual, 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.

NOTE; I felt a quick reference to general studying tips
would be helpful to patriots in making the most of your time and efforts in
learning Tri-F.
STUDYING
Setting; 1) Study in familiar area on regular
basis. 2) Study in similar area as
knowledge well be used. 3) All study
material should be kept in area of study. This is to eliminate the distraction
of having to go and get something.
4) Lighting,
over left shoulder for right-hander, visa versa for left-hander, this is to
eliminate shadows. Take care to eliminate glare to minimize fatigue. 5) Atmosphere, reduce sounds in
background and perhaps put on some soft classical music. Air, note temperature
and circulation. 6) Posture, good promotes coordination and
endurance. Avoid remaining in same position to long, shift and stretch often or
take brief walks. Pour posture,
well stress muscles and joints, causing fatigue and repetitive stress injuries.
As well as the position thus the functioning of organs especially in abdominal
region. Setting correctly,
monitor at eye level. Stomach in, wrist strait and level, forearms bent 90
degrees i.e. perpendicular to biceps. Knees level with or above hips. Feet flat
on the floor. Slouching
counter by keeping shoulders back and down. Imagine a head light in your chest
that most always shine forward. Standing
correctly there are three natural curves to the spine. The first is in
the neck with it being curved slightly forward, referred to as the Cervical
curve. Avoid the forward head posture (aka buzzard neck) by keeping your eyes
and collarbone in the same vertical plain. The second curve is in the upper
back with it being curved slightly backwards, referred to as the Thoracic
curve. The third is in the lower back with it being curved slightly forward,
referred to as the Lumbar. As a result, the end product, i.e. your spine
resembles a re-curve bow. Continuing with tips for standing correctly, your
legs should be slightly bent at the knees. Balance your weight equally on both
legs and feet. Constantly shift weight around to all four corners of your feet.
Preparations;
1) Clear your mind and relax. 2) Skim though material; check dates, content,
forwards, glossaries, index’s, intros and prefixes to make sure information of
interest is located within the material at hand. 3) Focus your concision
attention; to set your thoughts to the subject at hand, by reviewing notes and
asking yourself questions. Types of attention; immediate, i.e. automatic a heighten awareness. Can be activated or
developed by scanning area with eyes and ears. Conscious, with your conscious attention it is necessary to feed it
information to sustain the focus. Usually immediate picks out words or images
of interest then conscious records relevant information. 4) Set goals; in the
short term, goals could include deciding on what chapter to read to. With
long-term goals, be patient success at multi small tasks can be better than
going for one large goal at once.
Conduct; 1)
Read critically; get a variety of opinions. Note average person reads 150 words
per minute. 2) Retain meaning over exact wording; put notes in your own words.
Do not study similar subjects consecutively. 3) Know the duration of subject
i.e. length of speeches, classes etc; you tend to retain more information at
the beginning and end of speeches, classes, meetings, movies etc. So by knowing
the duration you can pay more attention during the mid point. Memory; Diet, some say it can help to eat more
fish and nuts, Blue berries are suppose to be excellent. Mind binders, this is braking up the normal routines to enhance
recall for specific invents an example might be using your right hand to
perform a task if you are left handed. Types of memory; Episodic memory, this is history,
personal and over all events such as conversations, schedules and plans. Procedural memory, physical skills i.e.
typing, biking or martial arts. Somatic
memory, math, combinations or phone numbers. Stages of memory; A) Recording, i.e. acquisition, receiving,
input. Note on Distortions two types,
passive, counter by avoiding, making
predictions or having high expectations prior to classes, events or recording
information on various subjects. Active distortions discussed below. Note on Dyslexia, it can be countered by closing
one eye as you record numbers or other information. B) Retaining, i.e. storage. Note on retaining names; do not judge people negatively, and if person is just
unlikable try thinking of them in comical terms. Match the name with rimming
descriptive words. Use mediation link i.e. match person to actions, occupation,
position, posture, or surroundings. Use name as soon as possible and as often
as conversation allows. Note on recognition of faces; pick out feature that stands out the most like eyes,
glasses, hat, hair, ears, nose, etc. like a political cartoonist would. C) Recall, i.e. retrieving, output, usage.
Note you tend to recall things the way you wish them to be, aka selectivity, example; bed, dream, night,
rest, wake. Most people when asked to recall this list include the word, sleep.
This is similar to what is referred to as word
association. Example; ocean equaling Tide detergent, or broom equaling
witch. That is to say, if a person is told a story including the word ocean
then is ask to name a deterrent most people well name Tide. Also on Distortions, now active, this includes leading questions or statements i.e. planting
idea that something has happened or is a fact when it has not yet been
determined. Subliminal; this is
manipulating the perception threshold of ones senses.
Principals of memory; 1) Interest, it
is being motivated, timing and variety are very important. Do not over do i.e.
push your self too far. 2) Relaxation,
this involves staying calm, cool, collective, confident, concentrate on things
do not worry about them. Avoid situations were your attention is divided.
Eliminate all negative thinking, remember when emotions are high intellect is
low and this dose work both ways. In fact, thoughts or ideas can reveal
themselves as emotions thus resulting in actions in the feature. Sleep or
meditation after studying can help retain information. 3) Repetition, in the short term this is repeating facts to yourself
repeatedly. In the long term, this is reviewing data from time to time. 4) Organization, this involves keeping data
up to date, relating new information to old and of course keeping things in
some kind of general order. Note on list
making, put things in progressive order according to time and place to
compliment each other, i.e. chronologically. Imagery, this can involve using a familiar family room’s four walls
and eight corners counting the floor and ceiling junctures. I use a one-foot
equals a mile scaled world model and place information at the location it
relates to. Develop a personal collection of abstract symbols, letters,
words, acronyms, colors, shapes, street signs to use in your mental models. For
instance with numbers you can use dominos. Also with numbers look for patterns
i.e. doubles, triples, pairs or sequences of odd and or even digits. In
addition, with imagery, when ever you are performing any kind of disassembly or
construction task. You can interact with tools and parts, visualizing yourself
in miniature. Visualizing yourself helping i.e. standing on parts, handling and
positioning tools. With any imagery technique the more detailed, the better
even to the point of bizarre i.e. completely out of proportion. Over all when
it comes to recalling information, there are two so-called inhibitions of
importance to note. Retroactive
inhibitions; new information learned recently interferes with old. Proactive inhibitions; proactive because
the interference is in the feature, old information effects the recall of new.
Both inhibition types can be due to numerous similarities or vast differences
in the data. 5) Meaningfulness, in
other words how useful information is to you on a daily basis. 6) Familiarity, aka the Big picture i.e.
the more you know about subjects the easier facts and data relate or fit into
your over all knowledge of a given subject, thus becoming easier to retain. 7)
Feed back, this is discussing information with others, comparing notes i.e.
sharing or teaching. It is the number one aid to retaining information.

Planning, Step # 3, Debriefs)
Here below again with this first posts of this series, I wanted to make everyone aware of my Epilogue. This of course is located at the end of my original "Fragmented Fighting Facts".
Epilogue
Here recently the "Old
World" as I call him had asked me to leave. The reasons were complicated,
however a fare summery would be that the contrast of what he perceived (I on the
other hand was able to read between the lines and see what the future was) our future as and how it unfolded i.e. turned for what seemed to be the worst. I had worked as manager for about six mouths, I had gotten fired, and it was to much for the "old world". He
just snapped on me, blaming me for everything.
When I realized the "Old
World" was not going to change his mind and would have called the cops. I
decided to post a decoy i.e. a series of disinformation post (if, I could access my blog from other computers) about me trying to put together an organization that would be able to impress and bring about real change in the local Miami Dade area, on the street level. I did this to try and buy me some time for
yet another "great escape". This time from the tip of a peninsula.
Everyone watching me knows, I
headed strait north none stop. I called the "Old World" the next
day due to the fact I realized I had failed to give him the various codes to the phone. I had not given him the codes
to the computer on purpose to keep any of the local "useful idiots"
from gaining access to my files. Long story short I realized at
one point he was realizing that it did not make any sense to kick me out. I
took up a defense position, lol i.e. quit moving north. Two days later just
like I had suggested to all the tenants in our complexes, the new owner gave everyone an eviction
notice. And so the "Old World" told me I could return.
With all that said, what fallows is my original Epilogue. Thus, I wish to make sure no one thinks of me as a terrorist. If
anyone, was to line up everyone, who has ever known me, and asked them the
question-“has (My name) ever talked to you about military matters”? All would
laugh and reply all the time! My history is the proof of my stability. I don’t
have any comrades, underworld contacts, or dilutions of becoming a rebel with a
cause. I absolutely believe that the next civil war, which may have already
started. Well be an elite/corporate one. The days of grass roots revolutions
are over. Resent events with the FAILED so called uprising in Egypt and the WORTHLESS so call "occupy" movements in the U.S. imo prove I am absolutely correct. The masses are nothing more than fuel now. Kind of like in the movie
Matrix, HA! I now live with a WW two
veteran. He is 92 years old now. And a wonderful human being. We love and need each
other! He is my mission in life. Seeing to it that he lives as long and as best
a life as possible, is what I intend to accomplish. He saved me from a life on
the streets, twice lol. I invite anyone who wishes
to know more, to ask me.
And the reason I do not fear the "black helos" assaulting our place is that I have been posting now for years. Furthermore like I have posted many times, the U.S. government has known all about me and what I'm about for decades now. And IMO they are using my blog for bating terrorist and blocking it from any and everyone else that the algorithms do not suggest would know or have previous contact with me. This filtering is imo a hell of a lot easier than most would believe.
And they do not allow any replies.
What fallows is a poem that can also serve as an
insight to my mind set. People are entitled to their opinions. But I have yet
to meet anyone with facts to prove me wrong about anything much at all.
WAR
War, you just can’t call it
war anymore
nor can you say it well last
x amount of days
Advanced technology has
brought about scientific criminology
Logically speaking, we can
only surrender, to that which well ultimately render.
