This is not your typical training or Operation video.  This is a short video showing a couple recent training accidents.
 
I intended for people to see the lighter side of our unit and a little more about your personalities.
 
I want to make different kind of videos to make it fresh and different; especially different from anyone else's Arma 3 unit videos.
 
I hope you enjoy this.
 
Watch in High Definition!

Edited for your pleasure.
 
I am experimenting with different video formats, including different audio systems, such as Dolby and Theater Sound, so if it sounds or looks a little different, thats why.  I always use high definition in all productions.
 
These Instructional Videos are intended as a training resource for our unit, and not as much for theatrical entertainment as my other productions.
 
 
 

Ingram said that Massie was a superhero but....WTF?
 
 

I know that we are a USMC/USAR unit, however I'm a little partial to this story. 
 
Then TSgt. John A. Chapman was a USAF Combat Controller, tasked with providing Tactical Air Control support for a Seal Team in Afghanistan in 2002. During Operation Anaconda, during the Battle of Takur Ghar, TSgt. Chapman and his teammates were tasked with seizing a mountain top in order to better coordinate air support from numerous aircraft in the area. Once the helicopter crested the hill, it began receiving effective fire, and once the helicopter tried to peel off, a member of the team accidentally fell from the helo. The rest of the story is best given in his Air Force Cross Citation, as well as his upgrade to the MoH:
 
 
 
 
 
"The President of the United States of America, authorized by Title 10, Section 8742, U.S.C., awards the Air Force Cross to TSgt John Chapman for extraordinary heroism in military operation against an armed enemy of the United States as a 24th Special Tactics Squadron, Combat Controller in the vicinity of Gardez, in the eastern highlands of Afghanistan, on March 4, 2002. On this date, during his helicopter insertion for a reconnaissance and time sensitive targeting close air support mission, Sergeant Chapman's aircraft came under heavy machine gun fire and received a direct hit from a rocket propelled grenade which caused a United States Navy sea-air-land team member to fall from the aircraft. Though heavily damaged, the aircraft egressed the area and made an emergency landing seven kilometers away. Once on the ground Sergeant Chapman established communication with an AC-130 gunship to insure the area was secure while providing close air support coverage for the entire team. He then directed the gunship to begin the search for the missing team member. He requested, coordinated, and controlled the helicopter that extracted the stranded team and aircrew members. These actions limited the exposure of the aircrew and team to hostile fire. Without regard for his own life Sergeant Chapman volunteered to rescue his missing team member from an enemy strong hold. Shortly after insertion, the team made contact with the enemy. Sergeant Chapman engaged and killed two enemy personnel. He continued to advance reaching the enemy position then engaged a second enemy position, a dug-in machine gun nest. At this time, the rescue team came under effective enemy fire from three directions. From close range he exchanged fire with the enemy from minimum personal cover until he succumbed to multiple wounds. His engagement and destruction of the first enemy position and advancement on the second position enabled his team to move to cover and break enemy contact. In his own words, his Navy sea-air-land team leader credits Sergeant Chapman unequivocally with saving the lives of the entire rescue team. Through his extraordinary heroism, superb airmanship, aggressiveness in the face of the enemy, and the dedication to the service of his country, Sergeant Chapman reflects the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force."
 
 
The citation accompanying his upgrade to the Medal of Honor reads as follows:
 
"Technical Sergeant John A. Chapman distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism as an Air Force Special Tactics Combat Controller, attached to a Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Team conducting reconnaissance operations in Takur Ghar, Afghanistan, on March 4, 2002. During insertion, the team’s helicopter was ambushed causing a teammate to fall into an entrenched group of enemy combatants below. Sergeant Chapman and the team voluntarily reinserted onto the snow-capped mountain, into the heart of a known enemy stronghold to rescue one of their own. Without regard for his own safety, Sergeant Chapman immediately engaged, moving in the direction of the closest enemy position despite coming under heavy fire from multiple directions. He fearlessly charged an enemy bunker, up a steep incline in thigh-deep snow and into hostile fire, directly engaging the enemy. Upon reaching the bunker, Sergeant Chapman assaulted and cleared the position, killing all enemy occupants. With complete disregard for his own life, Sergeant Chapman deliberately moved from cover only 12 meters from the enemy, and exposed himself once again to attack a second bunker, from which an emplaced machine gun was firing on his team. During this assault from an exposed position directly in the line of intense fire, Sergeant Chapman was struck and injured by enemy fire. Despite severe, mortal wounds, he continued to fight relentlessly, sustaining a violent engagement with multiple enemy personnel before making the ultimate sacrifice. By his heroic actions and extraordinary valor, sacrificing his life for the lives of his teammates, Technical Sergeant Chapman upheld the highest traditions of military service and reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force."
 
 
Rest easy, MSgt. Chapman. We have the watch.
