in this feature which we have been receiving information about for the last two weeks.

Bertie's car is only three and a half weeks into our training. But now he has to lead his men, mostly rookies, to

assault

an enemy position, a hill codenamed the Sanctuary again. It is very imperative that you remain silent and do not turn on any lights or anything because we are completely exposed to the sanctuary and the cave. complex if they hit us here, I suggest we be for all of them, it will be their first offensive action against the enemy in Afghanistan, still the last note, guys, this is a good operation we have tomorrow, we have the most meaty part of this No I see no unprofessional attitude.

Nothing on the ground. Alright. Professional Marines will get the job done right at the Lim Stern Commando Training Base. Only 11 recruits of the original 50 are still in 1940. Now they're practicing for the Final Command Tests that they have to pass to earn their Green Beret, you know, because we all chill with Jar and you're all doing the same thing, so you think everyone those who fit what I turned you into machines can only be diagnosed, except for one. You also become a machine, but you may be back on the city streets. Your super video commanders have to achieve what is called battle fitness, a physical and mental strength that prepares them to operate in extreme conditions and often with injuries. 94 groups are doing the grueling tasks 12 man carrying 80 pounds and this is just a sample of the secana command test shouldn't endure 12 bad you just break free you did it like a bad boy in a 12 mile race really dehydrated who fell down a bump I was freaking out but I installed that mental thing and You know it doesn't matter yeah man you gotta be in good physical shape but it's a mental game too.

My bad, remember, that's what's best for you. I teach it here and they can only teach you that here before

dawn

and in sub-zero temperatures Burtie cars the troop begins to climb these steep slopes of the enemy fortress code-named the sanctuary not only the marines carry up to 100 pounds per observation posts with personal headsets in the surrounding mountains using heat-sensitive telescopes have confirmed that the enemy is present in the sanctuary, that It's one of your phones. You'll find out there are enemies out there when the sun rises over the mountains just after 5:00 in the morning. Bertie's troop arrives.

Your first objective is green, unopposed, if you do, I'm making a break in one now that the enemy has retreated, but to where they no longer, under the cover of darkness, the marines advance to the top of the hill, already you should try to command the high ground let's be aware we're on high ground hi Steel is our alpha this is still a turret bid can I push my section towards the sanctuary so far so good but no cover on top of the east hill Is it a very dangerous place? to be the Taliban waiting after everyone has opened with a hail of fire, we can say that the bullets are approaching our heads because of the ominous hissing noise they are making.

The Marines call them to defend themselves with force. I immobilized myself in the rings. He is immobilized on the slide but Fresa consolidated the fire, which is also a machine gun. We haven't secured the sanctuary yet so we have to get away from there. The incoming fire is so intense that the essential order to withdraw is to launch a counterattack. attack as soon as possible, especially as the enemy has now revealed his position, so Bertie leads his men around the hill to attack from a different direction on Dartmoor. Troops nine, two and four continue with the final exercise of their training called final. they launched just a stone's throw from Afghanistan now, so it's not worth going through 20 hours of pure hell just for you to do this.

I love this part. I love this part so much. Man, the mouth, you're not far away, there's no sleep. the energy from somewhere is not a good time, yes, leading Sibley from the legatus bullet wound in the left eye, bleeding a lot, losing consciousness, what you do is start to calm down, there is a castle, there they just shoot him, we're doing more interesting things. Now it was more difficult to be a proper soldier than to command. I live off the help of soldiers activated. You have to constantly be taking over in your brain the entire time they know it.

You know it's a way of thinking. You know he probably takes over, not just training on general juries and a little experience together at the top of the sanctuary 11 troops establish a

line

of fire from which they take the fight to the enemy 11 troops have consolidated on the high ground On the green we have good arcs over the enemy positions once Berta's men have suppressed. The enemy fire will make a move towards the objective in which they will launch another attack further down the plane. The armed Land Rover provides additional cover for 11 soldiers and will attempt to pin the Taliban in one location by moving away from the other side. the green - not yet when the boss says the word let's move to the green it's time to change the point of attack the marines like the Taliban need to keep moving to be one step ahead of the enemy the enemy could be hiding anywhere in the ruined complexes, so the order is given to fix the bandits in their section, he knows he can, yes, yesterday we were attacked from the west, so as soon as they wake up, eleven soldiers arrive at their second green objective: a known Taliban shooting position.

It is deserted the enemy had melted into the lands still on Tuesday terribly green - clear Bertie heads over the top of the hill to join an advanced firing

line

that saw enemy fighters now estimated to be around 100 Taliban spread around the sanctuary 11 troops composed of only 20 marines, while we called to join mercy, the enemy opened fire again and the Ak-47s found new precision. We are pinned down as incoming bullets kick up the rock and sand around us, the exposed and outnumbered forward firing line doing its best to provide cover as half of their section escapes into dead ground.

News spreads that a Marine has been shot. No one is clear who it could be, but I figured it out on my own radio link to Bertie's car. Hello, free. distant artillery section fires mortars over the heads of the marines to establish a wall of smoke to cover the artillery team withdraw the troops the sergeant meets a wounded marine Richard Mason a single shot has shattered his wrist now he will have to be evacuated to a hospital as soon as possible before I lose too much blood this is called the golden hour, the most critical time when most casualties on the battlefield could die and then I heard the crackle of my radio link with Bertie's car when it comes back into range yes sir we have a gun equipment right now that was coming back into use oh there's a casualty on yes that's it that's it yes I saw it I probably hit the gloomy chest and ran towards Kalibak now on the other side of the body, so I extract Straight down, towards there, some enemies have fled and the rest are taking cover from the continuous bombardment that had been unleashed by eleven soldiers and has now been continued by ten soldiers.

Down on the plain an Apache attack helicopter with eleven soldiers has been called in. stay in cover while the helicopters attack, yes they are almost down and there was a good suppressive fire they gave to extract that flank from the top, which was a pretty complicated situation, but crossing the body and attacking Kalibak, which is our known enemy. We're telling the truth because we know that the route back to limps turn 94 troop recruits continue their final exercise practicing exactly the room clearing drills they'll have to execute in Afghanistan in just a few weeks Aggressor Exercise Masen little ads granting each one Roman triphala for the trip, flares, so most retreat, we perform with the fruit very, very well, actually on the attack and, in general, three exercises to prove themselves through horrendous weather, through of sleet, snow, gusty winds until salvation. 90 miles an hour in the center of Tours and Dartmoor and still be able to fight at the end, which is what it's all about, if they can do that here in the UK and you can pretty much do it anywhere in the world, you could be in the theater of operations in Afghanistan, so that is one last attack that they will do for the next time I am alive in a real war zone, so yes, this is basically a test exercise to show that they can continue and the operations continue Saying in your head, I'm up.

I'm moving, he saw me fall for three seconds, that's what it takes to say it in your head, three to five, stay alive, five meters, you're going to become a guaranteed casualty, right, because by doing so, he and his troops arrive at the desert town of Callaway, it's one of the main firing positions that the Taliban used in this morning's action, but now must move through their scattered compounds to search them and it is still morning, so they captured after 11:00. Yes, it's a good day, now the resorts are surrounded by thick mud. walls and sometimes the only way to get through them is to blow a hole with dynamite, blow a bar, could break into a compound to the north, wines, get batteries and pieces of cloth, eleven troops move through the color, hit methodically, the enemy appears to have fled, leaving bomb-making behind. equipment Russian ordinance and some ancient weapons when there are no bars mines to cross wolves the largest marine in the troop Tom Curie known to everyone as a salesman does the job just as well maybe up to 20 Taliban have died today it is impossible to know exactly While his companions Combat troops carry away the bodies almost immediately in the early afternoon, Bertie, after his first direct action, counts his men into a temporary shelter for a break from rations until I return.

I think he's like, "I'm just worried because if you tell them that." I've done something like this, you'll think it happens every day and it's not, it's not something that happens. Harry Mason was shot in the arm, but Good Joe said stipulation live. He returns fire. Suppress the enemy. No one else was hurt except Jim. Palmer is a bit separated, mainly yes, just good pickups on that one, just that it's a older Pella tube, which yes, you like it
