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”.

The Warrior poet, Newjarheaddean's poems

AHOY,


Update; 06/03/13 11:02 hours, okay on the date below, (March of 2013, it was the 22 day) you see I realize now that, that is the date this page was last viewed. At the time of posting this post I was thinking the date may be the date the page was made available to the public. Due to the fact it dose not appear anyone is viewing my pages. And I had noted this lack of page views in a previous post, thus I figured the agents and or system in general playing all the games on my blog had decide to publish it. I had clicked on the "more" gadget in my "stats" page, before, however no page was ever listed with views or not. The page "Fragmented Fighting Facts 2012" was posted in 2012 and is only showing five views right now.

I found a "stats" page today that shows only one of my pages have been viewed. That page is Fragmented Fighting Facts 2012, that posted in March of 2013. That's right this year. So I have decided to post all of my pages.

Just now as I posted this post the first time it did not show up on my "reading list" as the post should. So I'm posting it again.


Light insight cite

Twinkle twinkle little star
Now that science, tells me how far you are
By counting the years it took for you to appear
Here in my sight on this very night
That being so, now I know, earth wasn’t the first thing to be
Fallow me
It seems gods voice got the cart before the horse
let there be light, might suggest a little eye test
Or at the very best, there was an offal long rest, before the next breath
Or maybe it was just a printing blunder
but it makes me wonder, about this bible which god is liable.


Ghost Vampires and a Werewolf

Ghost are rarely seen
but there in every seam, of the cloths you use to where
They’re in the way you use to wear you hair
These reinforce the choice to never think back
They echo in your voice when you say you just don’t care.
So where are the Vampires
lying in there coffins wrapped in there capes
waiting for the dying sunlight to lead the escape
or just animalistic people looking to commit a rape
Speaking of mammals of man kind, there is a one of a kind.
Oh god the mood arises, the fair on the back of his neck rises.
Its that opposite of the sun, that makes his cold sweet run.
He’s the one with the full moon mad mind.
I’m speaking of the werewolf coming up from behind


Heart Farmer

Heat farmer that’s what you are
playing the field of men just for the fun of harvesting them
Weather they grow short or tall, fat or thin
you just crave that fifth limb
Sunshine smile catching looks for miles
fertilizing with your tantalizing, romancing with your rain dancing
are those storm clouds on the horizon or are your sassy modes rising
is that thunder I here, or are you angry my dear
tears falling like rain
you blame men for your pain
as you plough threw their feelings again and again
and as all farmers do you have a scarecrow too
to keep away those pesty varmints in their sexy garments
but your scarecrow is no set of cloths
stuffed with hay standing in the field all night and day
Yours is just a series of lies to compromise and other wise
perfectly offered hand equipped with wedding band
Calluses most grow on your tongue not on your hands
But I do dare to speak of a farmers nightmare
for with out a doubt there well come that inevitable age-able drought
and the fields well be bare and full of loneliness
as the crows makes their nest in your Heart-farmer.


Your way

Conversations spoken as load as revelations
All the excess noises car alarms, honking horns
And multiple door handles
Drive him crazy keep claiming he’s lazy
spread all the propaganda like cops reading Miranda
don’t leave him alone at work or at home
Blinking lights day and night
Of coarse they’ve used timers and sensors too
But there’s been many a trip just to flip the switches on the walls
winter spring summer or fall they don’t let up at all
Think I’m off my rocker
help me count the rocks not pecans found in my lawns
The only rime or reason is its just plan pleasing all the taunting and teasing
And when he’s out side decide to call and ring the phone off the wall
Its all real my enemies zeal
its not my imagination or and exaggeration
No magical chemical pills needed to cure any mental ills in my brain
all that hokus pockus, diagnoses some lame doctor claimed to blame me for my misery
I never fail any test that they must confess
So I’m left hoping for the best
just a little miracle and blessing from and oracle
to reverse this horrible chemistry between god and me
Bad relations form the day of creations unforeseen that god didn't mean
if not god should pray for forgiveness form all of us
Not blame man kind for failure to withstand old man time
It was prefect only as long as we nursed it
last for ever I dare say never
If life was and open book that Satan took a look at
In the index there would be reference text to his--story
the ultimate history
of those who chose to appose that which god supposedly knows is best for us
who continue to partake in the apple that was ate
And irreversible mistake for Christ sake
even if it was Satan’s revolt that brought perfection to a hold
Wouldn’t it be related to the day Satan was created
By you know who
Aren’t playing me for no fool
And gods solution to deal with all this delusion
a savior born of the virgin marry
Quite extraordinary form the ordinary method of being conceived
but this is what where told to believe
One would have to take leave of his mind to fallow this line of madness
All that wish list bless-ness brought about by Christmas.
In summery I’m pleased with me
you can take all your holy covets and shove it where the sun don’t’ shine I have no problem speaking so maline
you have allowed people to wage war on my mine for a hell of a long time
and I must say I am pleased with the way
I survive each day with you in my way

P.S. oh yes
From time to time
They mess with mother’s mind
Just the other day they through some trash away in one of our trash cans
When it was discovered and mother polity complained they just took the dam thing
The very next morning we awoke to that joke
It was in there front yard plum full of stuff as if to say tough to pure old mama
Who’s as peaceful as the Dale lama.

I found a "Stats" page that shows only one of my pages has been viewed. That page is "Fragmented Fighting Facts 2012, posted March 22 2013 i.e. yes this year.


So I decided to post my poetry today.

One would have to take leave of his mind to fallow this line of madness
All that wish list bless-ness brought about by Christmas.
In summery I’m pleased with me
you can take all your holy covets and shove it where the sun don’t’ shine I have no problem speaking so maline
you have allowed people to wage war on my mine for a hell of a long time
and I must say I am pleased with the way
I survive each day with you in my way

P.S. oh yes
From time to time
They mess with mother’s mind
Just the other day they through some trash away in one of our trash cans
When it was discovered and mother polity complained they just took the dam thing
The very next morning we awoke to that joke
It was in there front yard plum full of stuff as if to say tough to pure old mama

Who’s as peaceful as the Dale lama.

Post # 58, PCP, (Over all tips)

AHOY,


FRAGMENTED FIGHTING FACTS



Preparations and Conduct of Patrols



The Basic rule have all bee listed, the “over all tips” is additional knowledge to consider as you conduct a patrol.





Over all tips

The classic Law of the 7 P’s applies.  Proper Previous Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.


Dispatch trail breaking teams far enough in advance to insure continuous, uninterrupted movement of the main body.
Prior detailed reconnaissance is most important to insure successful mobility as always.

The first halt after initiating a march should be made in approximately 15 minutes. This will allow adjustment of clothing and equipment.
Normally, corpsmen and first sgt will bring up the rear of the column and, in each halt, will check the men and report their condition to the leader.
Marching in single file is often the best formation. It maintains track discipline, camouflage, and reduces the number of trailbreakers and reconnaissance parties required.

Advantages of snow; speed of patrol on skies and longer ranges possible. Holding capacity is the interaction with waxes and snow to minimize back sliding with out impeding forward motion. Changes with snow conditions different waxes are used. Carrying capacity when snow packed capacity improves movement is easier. Ice although it is firm it is slippery. In the woods snow softer Carrying capacity pourer than in open area. Also in wooded areas snow collects latter in winter and remains longer into spring. Movement from sun lighted to shaded areas is difficult because snow in lighted areas is wet and sticks to skies and snow shoes, then freezes in shaded areas. During break up periods i.e. Spring. Snow becomes slushy, danger of rust and corrosion is at its highest in Summer. At mid winter the lack of moisture in the air reduces this risk. During brake up and autumn drops in temperature at night and still in early morning makes movement easier. Sleds when run long distances build up heat on there skates; when sleds are stopped they may settle in snow and freeze in the ice. Should be parked on logs or unloaded and stood on end or side.

MT. slopes easy to travel in summer can be difficult in winter. Sleet on rocks can quickly transform trail into difficult route. Rock falls almost always localized on certain part of the face of a peak in gullies or couloirs making natural funnels. Routes which cling to a ridge (military crest) are immune. (Sinai) Rock slides and avalanches are not as common as in high cold mountains. Whenever a rock is kicked loose, personnel in area can immediately lean into the cliff to reduce their exposure, and do not look up. Personnel farther away may look up to determine where the rock is heading and seek cover behind an obstacle. Lacking cover, personnel should move out of its path to the left or right. If a Marine slips or stumbles he must immediately self-arrest, roll over onto stomach with his legs downhill, digging into the slope with hands, elbows, knees and toes. With steep terrain, of solid ground, (rock or ice) use the ice ax for self-arrest. Also used as a third point of contact on difficult terrain. If not in use the ice ax is carried in or on the rucksack with its head down and secured. The character of rocks; Dolomite or Granite of the Aiguilles of Chamonix is very secure. Sandstone and shale of the Canadian Rockies very unstable. Rock most likely to fall when ice of previous night melts in morning sunlight, Eastern slopes first.

In MT. travel is difficult on snow shoes. Continuous traffic packs snow and may allow movement on foot, with out skies or shoes. Infantry may utilize tracks made by armor. Marines on skies can be towed but not with shoes. On shoes mobility restored to point approaching foot traffic on hard ground.


(Reference, PCP, rule # 4/5 skis)


Assent of MT. start from camp located at snow line or above, early as possible in morning several hours before sunrise. Marines roped together as soon as unit reaches the ne’ve (firn) of glaciers. Most experienced leads, least in the middle. If soft snow is found or much step cutting in ice is necessary each Marine relieves the other as leader. Pace is slow enough that no one gasps for breath. At low altitude strong unit can average 2000 feet per hour vertically. Can be as slow as 100 feet per hour with lots of step cutting or on rocks. Rope always kept taunt between Marines. Spikes driven in by leader as high as can be reached. Snap ring emplaced, rope fed threw and then haul others up. Halts made rarely at low altitudes, every two hours at high elevations. Crossing wide snow fields, willow wands may be set. Stone cairns may be erected at strategic points on rocks. On descent strongest man at stern for holding Marines that fall. At difficult points on the descent even more than on the ascent the rope is belayed about a projection (piece of rock) or ice axes, wedged in to rocks. Only one man moves at a time. At very difficult points during descent units may descend en rappel. Fatigue or feeling of relaxation makes for carelessness, more accidents happen during descent. At least 3 Marines per unit, smaller the party less delay crossing difficult terrain, when only one at a time may cross. With out 3 rescue of one becomes difficult. The weak link is very important, in gauging units’ abilities. When vehicle patrols are stopped (weather to turn engines off or not) Herringbone maneuver, column splits into two one each side facing out. Two vehicles forward one each lane to block traffic, two vehicles move to stern.


CLIMBING

The margin of safety is a protective buffer the climber places between himself and potential climbing hazards. Both subjective (personnel-related) and objective (environmental) hazards must be considered when applying the margin of safety. The leader must apply the margin of safety taking into account the strengths and weaknesses of the entire team or unit.
Rock climbing can leave the climbing party totally exposed to weather, terrain hazards, and the enemy for the length of the climb. Sometimes steep rock cannot be avoided. Climbing relatively short sections of steep rock (one or two pitches) may prove quicker and safer than using alternate routes. A steep rock route would normally be considered an unlikely avenue of approach and, therefore, might be weakly defended or not defended at all.

Approach Observations for route selection.
Watch the mountain during the approach march, studying it for climbing routes. Distant views can reveal large-scale patterns of ridges, cliffs, snowfields and glaciers. General angles of the large rock masses can be seen from afar. Most features (patterns and angles) repeat themselves at increasingly finer levels (smaller scale), as they are generally derived from the overall structure of the particular mountain group. A basic knowledge of mountain geology, combined with the specific geological background of the operational area, pays off in more efficient travel. Experienced climbers learn to climb with the "eyes." before getting on the rock, study all possible routes, or "lines," to the top. Noting fault lines, gross bedding planes of rock, cliff bands, and crevasse zones. Snowy or vegetated ledge systems. Note any larger ledges or benches for resting places. Weaknesses in the mountain walls, such as couloirs or gullies. Looking for cracks, ledges, nubbins, and other irregularities in the rock used for footholds and handholds, mentally climb the route, rehearsing the step-by-step sequence of movements required.
SPOTTING
A "top-rope" belay can be used for safety, allowing the individual to increase the length and difficulty of the climb under the protection of the climbing rope.
Personnel not climbing can act as "otters" for those climbing. Spotting is a technique used to add a level of safety to climbing without a rope. A second man stands below and just outside of the climbers fall path and helps (spots) the climber to land safely if he should fall. The spotter should not catch but pushes the climber against the rock.
CLIMBING TECHNIQUE
A variety of techniques are used to climb different types of rock formations. These techniques can be thought of as a combination of the balanced movement required to walk a tightrope and the used to ascend a ladder. No mountaineering equipment is required; however, the techniques are also used in roped climbing.
Climbing involves linking together a series of movements based on foot and hand placement, weight shift, and movement. When this series of movements is combined correctly, smooth climbing which reduces excess force results. The basic principle is based on the five body parts described here. The right hand, left hand, right foot, left foot, and body (trunk). The basic principle is to move only one at a time. The trunk is not moved in conjunction with a foot or hand, a hand is not moved in conjunction with a foot, and so on. Following this simple technique forces both legs to do all the lifting simultaneously.
Body position is the single most important element. The body should be near vertical with the weight centered over feet. Leaning in towards the rock will cause the feet to push outward, away from the rock, resulting in a loss of friction between the boot sole and rock surface. A relaxed, comfortable stance is essential. The legs are straight, bent legs and tense muscles tire quickly. The heels are kept low to reduce fatigue. Strained muscles may vibrate uncontrollably. AKA "Elvis-ing" it is cured by straightening the leg, lowering the heel. The hands are used to maintain balance. Keeping the hands between waist and shoulder level will reduce arm fatigue.

Whenever possible, three points of contact are maintained with the rock. Proper positioning of the hips and shoulders is critical. When using two footholds and one handhold, the hips and shoulders should be centered over both feet. In most cases, as the climbing progresses, the body is resting on one foot with two handholds for balance. The hips and shoulders must be centered over the support foot to maintain balance, allowing the "free" foot to maneuver.

The angle or steepness of the rock also determines how far away from the rock the hips and shoulders should be. On low-angle slopes, the hips are moved out away from the rock to keep the body in balance with the weight over the feet. The shoulders can be moved closer to the rock to reach handholds. On steep rock, the hips are pushed closer to the rock. The shoulders are moved away from the rock by arching the back. The body is still in balance over the feet and the eyes can see where the hands need to go. Sometimes, when footholds are small, the hips are moved back to increase friction between the foot and the rock. This is normally done on quick, intermediate holds. It should be avoided in the rest position as it places more weight on the arms and hands. When weight must be placed on handholds, the arms should be kept straight to reduce fatigue.
Performing these steps in this exact order will not always be necessary because the nature of the route will dictate the availability of hand and foot placements. The basic steps are weight, shift, and movement (movement being either the foot, hand, or body). (A typical climbing sequence is shown in Figure 6-3.)

The trunk does not move during foot movement. Shift the weight from both feet to one foot. Feet placed within one to two feet of the starting position (higher placement will result in a potentially higher lift for the legs to make, creating more stress, and is called a high step) Shift the weight onto both feet. Lift the body into a new stance with both legs. Move one hand to a new position between waist and head height. During this movement, the trunk should be completely balanced in position and the removed hand should have no effect on stability.
Now the entire body is in a new position and ready to start the process again. Following these steps will prevent lifting with the hands and arms, which are used to maintain stance and balance. If both legs are bent, leg extension can be performed as soon as one foot has been moved. Hand movements can be delayed until numerous foot movements have been made, which not only creates shorter lifts with the legs, but may allow a better choice for the next hand movements because the reach will have increased.

When the angle of the rock increases, these movements become more critical. Holding or pulling the body into the rock with the arms and hands may be necessary as the angle increases (this is still not lifting with the arms). Many climbing routes have angles greater than ninety degrees (overhanging) and the arms are used to support partial body weight. The same technique applies even at those angles. Avoid climbing directly above or below other climbers. When personnel must climb at the same time, following the same line, a fixed rope should be installed.

Avoid moving on the knees and elbows. These bony portions of the limbs offer little friction and "feel" on the rock.


USE OF HOLDS


All jewelry should be removed from the fingers.
Avoid climbing with gloves on because of the decreased "feel" for the rock. The use of gloves in the training environment is especially discouraged, while their use in the mountains is often mandatory when it is cold. A thin polypropylene or wool glove is best for rock climbing, although heavier cotton or leather work gloves are often used for belaying.
Avoid grasping vegetation for handholds; the root systems can be shallow and will usually not support much weight.
The climber should check each hold before use, grab and tug on the hold to test it. Force can be applied in a direction that strengthens it. A loose nubbin might not be strong enough to support the climber's weight, but it may serve as an adequate handhold.
CLIMBING WITH THE FEET
It is true that solid handholds and a firm grip are needed in some combination techniques; however, even the most strenuous techniques require good footwork and a quick return to a balanced position over one or both feet.
The beginning climber will have a natural tendency to look up for handholds. Try to keep the hands low and train your eyes to look down for footholds. Even the smallest irregularity in the rock can support the climber once the foot is positioned properly and weight is committed to it.
Maximum Sole Contact. Maximum friction is obtained by placing as much of the boot sole on the rock as possible, leg muscles can also relax. (Figure 6-4) On some large holds, like bucket holds that extend deep into the rock, the entire foot cannot be used. The climber may not be able to achieve a balanced position if the foot is stuck too far underneath a bulge in the rock. In this case, placing only part of the foot on the hold may allow the climber to achieve a balanced stance. Remember to keep the heels low to reduce strain on the lower leg muscles.

At this point or should I say beyond this point, there is lots of material including images that I have not edited yet. I well be doing that and adding that Knowledge along with the images I choose to keep in the updates.

Post # 57, Defense, (Conduct of the Defense)

AHOY,

Update; 06/12/13 10: 39 hours this was just the title change. 

FRAGMENTED FIGHTING FACTS

Defense

Here we have additional information to consider for any sound defensive operation or mission.  


Conduct of the defense

Joke; the enemy’s diversion you’re ignoring is the main attack. Troops should not man their fighting holes continuously; they well only give their locations away. Man them continuously when in thick terrain, during bad weather or at night. Sense foe can get in close and surprise you. Historically, darkness of night the necessity of sleep, dispersion of the horses in the pasture/modern vehicles under maintenance, affords opportunity for surprise.
Attacks also at night or in the morning; since these are hours of refreshment, meals and or showers. All Marines should be alerted and ready any time patrols exit camp, also kept at a distance from exits. When you wake up, get up, could be something woke you. Eat sleep and maintenance is done in shifts.

(Reference, Preparation and conduct of patrol, rule # 14)


Commander is positioned for max view of battle field, so to direct fire, through tracers fired by designated shooters. Cmdrs, F.O. or DMRs can use tracers in the day time and lasers at night to mark targets. Cmdr engages only if direct action is needed to turn the battle. Best way to truly soften up defense is through psychological means. Defenders that are fighting for something they believe in are difficult to demoralize. Enemy will usually have preemptory fire to soften up position. This is when you man positions. Check behind you often and always be prepared for hand to hand combat. Steel blades ready. Obey all commands and fields of fire. Do not shoot at some one far off to one side of your position. He well be in someone else’s field. Remember when using grenades they won’t give your position away and there’s no need to see the enemy. They are tossed at angles not strait out. Advantages of defense; by assuming a defensive posture a unit doubles or triples its firepower. The defender under cover is difficult to see. The attacker is nervously aware of the invisibility, this leads to panic. Attackers see comrades being hit by unseen defense. The defense also sees this and is encouraged. Defensive casualties are not seen by attacker or defense, further widening morale. Defense knows, safety is as close as the bottom of the fighting hole. When attacker goes for cover the attack brakes down. However, ultimately a defense produces only various degrees of defeat. If the defense dose manage to clobber attacker, it well only be rewarded with orders to counter attack.


(Reference, Step # 2, Leadership guidelines, Company cmdr, “reserves” and “Relief forces” below)

If next attack well succeed. A well timed retreat, will force enemy to waist time and supplies attacking empty position, thus weakening enemy for counter attack. If foe is repelled pursue with steady stream of fire i.e. shoot them right in the back! When soldiers are fleeing, you can kill them as fast as you can fire. Make a damage report, note all KIA, WIA, and MIA, which you are aware of. Do an ammo count, so it can be redistributed. All information is reported to command. Then reestablish O/Ps and L/Ps. Re-camouflage; if your fighting hole was not found during first attack, chances are it won’t be assaulted during second attack. If enemy over runs the position, you will see the FPF visual signals. You then retreat to strong point. FPF can be in the form of CAS, guns from ship or shore, or explosives rigged on site. “Relief forces” are best brought up in day light. Routes forward can lead through basements, tunnels, halve walls etc. If troops brought up during darkness they lack orientation. Use face of buildings across street for marking boundaries.
In the advance, it is possible to bypass certain obstacles, or at least fix them with fire.  In the defense, any reverse gives the attacker a toehold in the position.

Washing the Corps for burial, part 3

AHOY,


Update: 12:26 hours 1/11/14
After graduating from Annapolis, Webb was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. Note; he did not become a "Marine" he was commissioned into the corp, LOL just like old coward ass Conway. As a first lieutenant during the Vietnam War he served as a platoon commander with Delta Company, 1st Battalion 5th Marines.
Newjarheaddean; I found this info on Wekipedia, after Surfing for info on SoN Webb and CMC Gen. Gray. Wikipedia reports Gen. Gray is 87 and living in California.
Weather anyone believes it or not I did not know what I now know about SoN Jim Webb before reading chapter four in this book “making the Corps”. As you may know I do have some of Webb’s statements in my Fragmented Fighting Facts. These I got from sources that like the book “making the Corps” mentioned Webb’s statements. However I’ve never read any of the books he authored. Nor did I ever know any of this “pipe dream” history talked about in chapter four. I posted this chapter four last week in my “Washing the Corps for burial” series of posts part # 6.
So the plan now, is to use any and all material including this book, “The Masculine Marine” along with the book, “Making the Corps” to support my theory (sarcasm on ) that the Corps is “out of step” with its original mission and “as a matter of fact” the Corps is nothing more than a “Little Army” working with the U.S. Navy. And most important of all the U.S. Marine Corps is not combat ready.

As with the book, “Making the Corps” I do not plan on posting this book “The Masculine Marine” in its entirety. However I’m going to read it all and I’ll post anything having to do with training or traditions of the Marines, like this “blood strip” ritual.

I have found this book very difficult ready. It seems at times that I am not able to read more than a paragraph without having to pick up my dictionary. Keeping in mind I always “keep my study materials in the area of study” to illuminate distractions, see the Preface of the Fragmented Fighting Facts, Study Notes, Setting, rule # 3. This Preface can be found in my post “Planning, Preface, part one” that posted on 05/12/13.

The funny thing is usually the word I have to look up is nothing more than a “fancier” LOL word for another more commonly used word.

NJD; IMO, all the discussion in this book, is like a dog chasing its tail or a cow chewing its cud.

Let me say it again, SEX, is nothing more than a feeling one is after. How one “gets off” is not a concern of mine and imo, it should not be a social issue. Society should not place people in boxes i.e. categories and demand everyone chose a label. Label lead to division, division leads to conflicts, due to the fact someone always thinks their label means they are superior.


I would think societies roll i.e. law, ethics etc would be limited to making sure no one is injuring any other person or involving animals, due to the fact we cannot be sure animals are willing participants. And if this society was not so sick as to have health care as a, “for prophet” industry, we would not have to worry about diseases so much. 




The one really big, lol question I have for this Zeeland guy is, why did he not try to interview me. I was West coast, and in the 1980s I was told I there were only about 300 cases of Homos being discharged from the USMC, and I was serving at the time in the most highly decorated combat unit in the Corps and I came out on the front lines of the Cold War. 

 Things that make you go Hummmmmm. 

In case anyone is wondering I picked these two books, "Making the Corps"  and "The Masculine Marine" up at a garage sale near down town.










Page 2, so what I would like to ask the author is, who came up with a term “masculine” without defining it first. LOL Can someone say “reinventing the wheel”.

And the name “Spartan” being used as if it means Mucho, but conveniently not admitting these Greeks would have been of very similar if not exactly the same mind set as previous Greeks i.e. mentioned at the top of page 3.

This is like the Hollywooders with the movie “300”, portraying the Persian character i.e. Xerxes, as a big old homo and the 300 Spartans especially Leonidas, as the traditional, “real men”. LOL.

However I will say this, it appears the ancient Greeks proved that once sexual preference is not an issue, the so called “strait” “real men”, have to get out of the way i.e. reframe form military service, stay home with the women, who imo would not even think of having sex with those boring mucho so called “strait” church going men.

And on this “Passive” thing, imo its not unlike the imprisoned convicts, attitude, the “Homo erectus” LOL human male is just getting in the last word or shot in a fight. The prisoners are forced into this ultimate choice LOL reality, without as much professional training. (sarcasm on) 












On page 6, I wish to remind everyone of what makes Marines special imo. See Preface, of the Fragmented Fighting Facts. Basically it has to do with the young women and men joining in the first place, not the training. 








On page 8 on the Rifle, yes imo this is the best way to truly live by the “Rifle Creed” or “Creed of the Corps” aka “The Rifle” etc. by Maj. General William H. Rupertus. You can surf it up on the web. In the 1980s it seems to me at MCRD San Diego Ca. we kept our M-16A1s in an armory between the platoons squad bays and had to “brake them out” each time before drill and for cleaning. In the book “Making the Corps” on Paris Island, I’ve read in the 90s they  the recruits slept with their M-16A2s and had a towel or mat issued, to place the pieces on during field striping and for inspections too. I am jealous i.e. I feel ripped off, cheapened.  


On page 8 where I used brackets, I just wanted to point out some of the more comical “crewing of the cud” i.e. scientific wild a** guesses. LOL.


And on page 9 I thought I would make a joke about the SWAGs i.e. if we could only fall on our own swords. There is the one guy who likes the wife's vibrator. 








Page 11 here we have the so called experts admitting that the military breeds a homosexual environment. Recall now the warning I got from two Marines, back on my block, before my shipping out. “Stay away from the blacks, LOTS of them are gay”. 












Page 15, OKAY, I’M A GENIUS! I WAS WRITING MY NOTES HERE AS I READ THE PAGES. I JUST LEFT MY NOTES AS IS. LETS HERE IT FOR Gore Vidal and Baldwin. And you can "tell it to this  Marine".

Post # 56, Conduct of Engagements, rule # 15

AHOY,

Update; 06/12/13 10: 39 hours this was just the title change. 

FRAGMENTED FIGHTING FACTS

Conduct of Engagements

Basic rule # 15


15) Quick kill:
An instinctive method of shooting, aka Reflexive shooting; Used against fleeting targets at close range or during the night and in dense terrain. Also when wearing gas mask. Precision room clearing allows little or no margin for error. Too fast of a shot at a noncombatant, too slow of a shot at an enemy or inaccurate shots can all be disastrous.
Weapons Ready Positions; The two weapons ready positions are low ready and high ready.
Low Ready Position, Butt of weapon placed firmly in the pocket of shoulder with the barrel pointed down at a 45-degree angle. Considered to be the safest carrying position. It should be used by the clearing team while inside the room, except when actually entering and clearing. High Ready Position, Butt is held under the armpit, with the barrel pointed slightly up, keeping the front sight assembly under the line or plain of sight. To engage a target, the gunner pushes the weapon out as if to bayonet the target. When the weapon leaves the armpit, he slides it up into the firing shoulder. This technique is used when moving in a single file. General techniques, Butt of weapon in pocket of shoulder. The head is up and both eyes are open. Chin resting on top of stock, if to one side weapon will pull. Nose and eyes centered over stock and behind sights. Forward hand grasping front sight assembly near muzzle. Stance; Feet are shoulder-width or slightly wider apart. Toes are pointed to the front (direction of movement). The firing side foot is slightly staggered to the rear of the non-firing side foot. Knees are slightly bent and the upper body is leaned slightly forward. Shoulders are square to the LOS and pulled back, not rolled over or slouched. When engaging targets, the butt of the weapons remains in the pocket of his shoulder.
Principle: what ever you aim/point at, you should be able to hit. Effective range 50 meters. Shift your entire body at the base i.e. your feet, to make adjustments. Best to under shoot than over shoot. Better chance to see corrections needed and better chance of ricochets hitting target. If it’s worth shooting, shoot it twice. Shot Placement; as each round is fired the weapon's recoil makes the front sight post move in a small natural arc. Do not fight this recoil. Let the weapon make the arc and immediately bring the front sight post back onto the target and take another shot. This two-shot combination is known as firing a controlled pair at center mass i.e. two shots to the upper chest, then one to the head. This shot placement increases the first round hit probability and allows for a second round incapacitating shot. This center of mass, engagement technique is more reliable than attempting head-shots only.

Aiming with Iron Sights;
The four aiming techniques all have their place during combat in urban areas, but the aimed quick-kill technique is the one most often used in precision room clearing.
(1) Slow Aimed Fire. This technique is the most accurate. It consists of taking up a steady, properly aligned sight picture and squeezing off rounds. It is normally used for engagements beyond 25 meters or when the need for accuracy overrides speed.
(2) Rapid Aimed Fire. This technique features an imperfect sight picture in which windage is critical but elevation is of lesser importance. When the front sight post is in line with the target, the gunner squeezes the trigger. This technique is used against targets out to 15 meters and is fairly accurate and very fast.
(3) Aimed Quick Kill. This technique consists of using a good spot weld and placing the front sight post flush on top of the rear peep sight. It is used for very quick shots out to 12 meters. Windage is important, but elevation is not critical with relation to the target. This technique is the fastest and most accurate.
(4) Instinctive Fire. This technique is the least desirable. The gunner focuses on the target and points the weapon in the target's general direction, using muscle memory to compensate for lack of aim. This technique should be used only in emergencies.
M68 Close Combat Optic.
The M68 Close Combat Optic (CCO) note remember, the M68 is not a telescope sight.
(1) Aimed Fire. This technique requires looking through the CCO with both eyes open and focusing on the target. An optical illusion places a red aiming dot in front of the firer. The dot is placed on the target then the target is engaged with fire. The aiming dot does not have to be centered in the optic. The CCO is used in the same manner at all ranges. Therefore, there is no distinction between slow aimed fire, rapid aimed fire, and aimed quick kill techniques.
(2) Instinctive Fire. This technique remains the same with the CCO.


Aiming M68 Close Combat Optic (CCO); Note remember the M68 is not a telescope sight. Look through the CCO with both eyes open and focus on the target. An optical illusion places a red aiming dot in front of the firer. The dot is placed on the target then the target is engaged with fire. The aiming dot does not have to be centered in the optic. The CCO is used in the same manner at all ranges. Therefore, there is no distinction between well aimed or quick kill techniques. And now SDO squad day optic. 
AN/PAQ-4 and AN/PEQ-2 Aiming Lights; when using IR aiming lights in conjunction with (NVGs) use the instinctive fire technique to point the weapon at the target while activating the aiming light. This technique should place the aiming dot within the field of view of the NVGs and on or near the target. Adjust placement of the aiming dot onto the target and fire. Note that target discrimination is more difficult when using NVGs. IR illumination provided by flashlights with IR filters, or the illuminator that is integral with the PEQ-2, can aid in target identification and discrimination. IR illumination is also required inside buildings with little or no ambient light. Note IR illumination is also available with Artillery rounds.

Post # 55, Preparations and Conduct of Patrols, rule # 15

AHOY,

Update; 06/12/13 10: 39 hours this was just the title change. 

FRAGMENTED FIGHTING FACTS



Preparations and Conduct of Patrols



Basic rule # 15


15) Never let up your guard:
When you secure an area don’t forget to tell the enemy. lol!  This rule applies especially at exits or entries when patrols are leaving or returning. Enemy attacks likely at night or after long patrols. Villagers in area being friendly with Marines on there initial contact, then blocking patrol on their return trip, upon egress from area. When walking look back frequently to note features of recognition for return trip, especially in sub-terrain or caves. With units every other man (360 degree check) method for enemy searches. When returning to original positions make a complete circle with your body. Urban patrols should pause now and then to just lesson i.e. stop and “lay dog” to listen for anything out of place.
When on patrol and you come up on a possible ambush point i.e. ally entrance a foe could jump out from and get between patrol members to shoot them after they pass. You should station yourself there until next member arrives to relieve you. Aka station and relief tactic.  Note figure eight pattern might work well for individual search as you patrol.

This concludes this post on Preparations and Conduct of Patrols, Basic rule # 15. This is the last Basic rule of this section, however there are other post to be posted such as “Over all tips” etc.

Defense



Basic rule # 15


15) Develop alternate and supplementary positions:
Alternate position to be occupied when primary one has become unsuitable for carrying out unit’s task. Located so that individuals or units can continue to carry out original task. Supplementary is a position from which overall situation must be reevaluated. Basically this is doing everything over again two more times.

This concludes this post of the Defense, Basic rule # 15. This is the last Basic rule however there is still more subsections to be posted for example “Conduct of the Defense” or “Over all tips” etc.

Post # 53, Conduct of Engagements, rule # 14

AHOY

Update; 06/12/13 10: 39 hours this was just the title change. 


FRAGMENTED FIGHTING FACTS

Conduct of Engagements


Basic rule # 14



14) Trigger techniques:
Use just the tip of your finger, just breathing, just squeeze. B.R.A.S. breath, relax, aim and squeeze. The trigger finger (index finger on the firing hand) is placed on the trigger between the first joint and the tip of the finger (not the extreme end) and adjusted depending on hand size, grip, and so on. If the trigger is not properly squeezed, the rifle will be misaligned with the target at the moment of firing. The proper trigger squeeze should start with a slight pressure (aka first pressure) on the trigger during the initial aiming process. The firer applies more pressure after the front sight post is steady on the target and he has proper Breathe Control; learn to control breath at any part of the breathing cycle. There is a moment of natural respiratory pause when most of the air has been exhaled from the lungs and before inhaling. One should pause your breathing at this point and increase trigger squeeze. The shot must be fired before any discomfort is felt. Gurkha weapons instructor; Never snatch the trigger; always squeeze it gently, as if you’re stroking a cat/pussy. “Take the first pressure, pause your breathing, squeeze the trigger, and shoot to kill”. These techniques are used during zeroing (and when time is available to take a shot). During combat if winded you can exhale on to targets. In other words, aim in general direction of target, take deep breath, position sights over target and exhale, shooting as sights drop across target.
