All,
 
VILLAGE SECURITY, Part 2.
 
 

All Personnel,
 
We held up in a village overnight to wait to hear from S2 about the results of the interrogation of the prisoners we sent in.  Captain Childs set up a routine security plan.
 
We didn't know if GFI was going to come looking for us or not, or if they would find us.  We left a trail of dead bodies of their comrades in the jungles.  They were likely to
know someone was hunting them.
 
This is Part 1.
 
 

 

All Personnel,
 
Part 2 of the "Long Patrol" deep into the back country of N'ziwasogo as we continued to search for intel, their base or the leadership.  
 
In this video, we again tried to take them alive.
 
 
Watch in High Definition.
 

 

All Personnel, 
 
Part Two of our first mission in Operation Deep Cleanse.
 
I hate this video.  I got shot in the back, and then a short time later in the front.  
 
Dang.
 
 

 
 

All Personnel,
 
The first video for Operation Deep Cleanse.  This Operation took place on Sunday night of Labor Day weekend, and we were short handed.
 
This is part 1 of this op.  The second part will be forthcoming shortly.
 
 
PS  The boat trip to the mainland and up the inlet took a long time and I edited out a significant amount of that video.  I loved the ocean waves.
 
Watch in High definition!
 

All Personnel,
 
Our first patrol.
 
 

 

Does anyone read this History Thread?  I love Marine Corps history and could share much more, but if no one is reading this stuff, it's a big waste of my time.
 
It appears "reading" is going out of style.  Remember, "Readers are Leaders"

All,
 
Operation Blue Rhino, Conclusion, Part 2.
 
 
 
 

All Personnel,
 
Part one of mission to destroy armor by air strike.  Mission primarily covers movement to Way Point Michael.
 
Part two to follow.
 
Note:  I called it the conclusion to Operation Blue Rhino as were in Molatia, and attacking the same guys.
 
 
 

 

All,
 
Rappelling Drills video, Pt 2.
 
Same as above.
 
 

 

All Personnel,
 
Video showing Rappelling Training.
 
Again, an example of reasons the 4th MRB is so different from so many other realism units out there.  We simply do so much more than most others.
 
This instructional video was intended for training Raider personnel and not necessarily for entertainment purposes.  I would like to continue to produce and publish training videos. 
 
 
PS  I realized after I produced and uploaded the movie, that I misspelled "Rappelling" in the video on the title.  Fixing, or editing the titles in the video would only take a few minutes, but it takes hours to produce and upload these videos, so I'll fix it later
and just replace the video.  You'll never notice the difference except for the spelling correction.
 
 
PSS  Great Mod Captain.  Thanks.
 
 

All Personnel,
 
This short video is dedicated to all our SARCs.
 
As with all our videos, they are available on our YouTube Channel.  Please go to our YouTube Channel and click "LIKE" on our videos.  People will find us easier on YouTube when they search for an 
Arma 3 Realism Unit when there are more "LIKES", viewers, and minutes watched on videos.  So it helps promote the 4th MRB when you watch a video and click "LIKE".
 
Thanks very much.

Part 3 of 06-16.
 
This is a relatively short video showing the end of the op.
 
 

 
 

Belleau Wood story.
 
 
The following is a story about a parade the Marines were in during WWI.  In case you did not know, the 4th Marine Brigade was assigned to the U.S. Army’s 2nd Division, which would become the most decorated U.S. division during that war, because of the Marines, of course.
 
 
In 1918, following the fighting at Chateau Thierry & Belleau Wood, the French Parliament by unanimous vote determined to celebrate July 4th, the anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence, as a French national holiday. The event was to include a massive parade through Paris with one provisional battalion from each American division participating. The 2nd Division was represented by a battalion composed of one provisional company from each regiment, to be made up of twenty men from each actual company.
 
Lt. Clifton Cates ~ who only the previous day had been dug in in Belleau Wood under shellfire with his company ~ was among those chosen, along with thirty‑two of his Marines, to travel  post‑haste to Paris to march in the parade. In a letter to his mother he described the experience:
 
The morning of the 4th, we got up early and cleaned up and tried to look half way decent, but we still looked like a bunch of bums. At eight we left our camp and marched to where the parade formed. Mother, you cannot imagine the cheer that would go up as the French people would recognize the Marine flag ~ it was one continual shout ~ Vive la Marines ! ~ la Marines ! ~ etc. They literally covered us with roses ~ I would carry each bouquet a piece and then drop it ~ then another girl would load me down with more flowers. It was truly wonderful and it made us Marines feel very good, as they give us all the credit (for stopping the German drive on Paris). Even every little kid, to and from Paris, would yell, "Vive la Marines!" We have certainly made a name in France .... Most of all Paris witnessed the parade, and it was one grand sight and adventure for us ~ one that I will never forget.
 
~~ Quoted from the unpublished letters of Gen. Clifton B. Cates USMC [Ret], printed in Robert Asprey's At Belleau Wood.

All Personnel,
 
The exciting conclusion to Op Blue Rhino 05-16, Part 2.
 
 

 
 

All Personnel,
 
Be advised, this operation is too long to put in one video.  Hence, this is part 1, of Op Blue Rhino 05-16.
