Australian Infantry Training Before Iraq

[recondan91]

These guys aint training for Iraq. They're reservists doing an urban warfare exercise.

[jackrb11]

what happened to the one of the gun fire sounds and not this shitty song

[laubeatz]

those blanks ?? do they hurt hahaha

[aussie1990jaime]

@laubeatz yes it hurts, and burns. got shot in the ear with a blank at kapooka, at night we were at stand too when the guy in my pit yells "1 ENEMY!" and turned and shot right next to my ear, its still partly deaf and i get ringing in it every day. but oh well tuff shit lol.

[thetyler1212]

@MrBigshaggy I'm not really sure, i was just told by a relative that that was the statistic for a rifleman who is joining the army. I'm not really surewhich unit.

[zavdogg256]

Im a 16 yr old Kiwi, been living in australia for around 7 months and i really wanna join the army specifcaly ADF because im in yr 12 this year so its my last year of school until TAFE etc. so im wanting to be in Reserves, but i was just wondering, would they be able to fast track citizenship??? cos a friend of or family is a border patrolman i think and he was in the nz navy and he moved here and he was in the aus navy and said they fast tracked his citizen ship, but this was back in 2005...

[thetyler1212]

You know only 1 in 20 applicants are actually accepted to become a Rifleman in the Australian Defence Force. That just shows that our military only wants the best.

[MrBigshaggy]

@thetyler1212

Yeh i just got accepted on the 5th on janurary. i saw 5 guys go in b4 and get turned away. They know who the want i guess and if they dont think your up for it there not wiling to give you the oppurtunity. What unit is this? Hoping to go to 6 or 1 or 2 rar.

[yoeeb]

LOL at 1:54 you can see he shot and executed the hostage

[jackrb11]

This looks fun so when i join the army i what to do this. GUN FIRE LOUD.

[kilby666specialized]

is this at enoggera?

[aussie1990jaime]

@kilby666specialized doubt it

[danielaaabbbbcd]

damn 1:44 gun jam. hes dead

[xIDeltaIx]

Best trained most under equipped :P

[GaZiNAt0R]

@ 1:55 He shoots pink, Which represents a hostage/civillian. Naughty.

[gwhunter1986]

lets get this straight. these guys are reservists,not fulltime serving members. They were not training to go to iraq.ive been to iraq and afghanistan and east timor so i know the training regimes that go along with those deployments. More to the fact these guys are choko grunts doing some training at DSU rockhampton, i know its at rocky because i just got back from shoalwater bay and spent a night there before going back to brisbane.

[GaZiNAt0R]

Lol natbaggs you tell em. Rofl

[iiNeverRegret]

@nataleeBRAHH thats right bro australian's army is one of the best trained in the world and im proud soon be in it :D going kapooka december cant wait!

[gemsandjewels]

@iiNeverRegret mate , im going pooka end of november !!, 22nd to be exact , haha might see ya there

[ydabs]

thats me at 10sec this isent SF its army reserves all the video is by Pte Hall and you will see girls training with us this is 42RQR in Rocky and its not befor Iraq its just a 2 week Ex whear we wher lerning urben combat lol i remember my F89 jamed every time & when Wo2 Cooly ani i got drunk on port good times lol

[MrBennyb]

royal marines and british paras are above any infantry unit in the australian army thats just facts mate..there is no p company in the oz army or any selection course that will determine what regiment u go to...3 rar is certainly not on par with the the british paras.

the royal marines recruit course is a real killer..if ur into infantry/military type stuff there was a doco on the bbc called commando..do yourself a favour mate and download it..i think u should enjoy it, its pretty cool.

[MrBennyb]

come on mate..u think 3 rar on on the same level as the british paras...the brit army is a much more battle hardend army..thats just facts..the brits have been in everything since the falklands

[0Strykes0]

@MrBennyb, Afghanistan... Iraq... In the last 10 years, name where else the para's have deployed? (Really, do name them, I'm sure there are more)

3RAR have deployed to East Timor (Not really combat), Iraq, Afghanistan and Solomon Islands (Non-combat).

They have mostly the same experiences.

There are not many guys who were in druing the 1st gulf war that are still in the British army, let alone the Falklands.

You are comparing Apples to Apples.

[gwhunter1986]

@MrBennyb you should reconsider that thought mate. we are every bit as battle hardened as the brits, we may have had a dry spell in war fighting for a few years at the end of the 20th century but we still trained hard for the fight and now its paying off particularly in Afghanistan. I was there last year in an AFV and i know we are more then capable and every bit as professional as any other 1st world army in fact we are better then most!! we just lack the numbers of some of the bigger nations.

[MetalMilitia565]

whats the difference between infantry and rifle man?or are they the same thing? like do they do the same training and shit???

[NarutoFireFox84]

@MetalMilitia565 i believe riflemen are a branch off the infantry so id imagine they would have some identical training as the other branches but then their specific training

[Supermannen6]

@MetalMilitia565 it is the same thing matey. Rifleman is a name given to the blokes IN the infantry corps.

[MetalMilitia565]

oi do u get many roots in the army?

[pomesoldier]

when you join the adf you go to kapooka not duntroon

[a3307able]

you dont have to do duntrron to join rainf corps...only if u want to be an officer is when you go to duntroon...and this aint choocos trainin...they dont go through this much intensive trainin before deploying

[0Strykes0]

Ehh? Res blokes do the same pre-deployment training as any regular army equivalent unit.

[NarutoFireFox84]

do you have to go to duntroon to join the infantry corp or somethin else, please reply

[calisaetia]

@NarutoFireFox84 RMC Duntroon is for officers.

[benna696]

hey guys, just wondering.

Anyone know if this is done during IET training?

Or just practicing CQB?

Anyway with questions to do with YOU session testing, try some online tests, find the sample test on the ADF website and you should be fine, i was anyway =)

Finished my assesment day and got in for rifleman :D just got to complete fitness test and then enlist !!

[guitarandsinger]

shit same whats ur enlistment date my august 10 at parramatta. yer i got into riflemen as well

[waverleykid]

hey fellas. i got my aptitude this wednesday. i want to be a rifleman. My maths is pretty shit but i did pass it in my school certificate. reckon ill be sweet?

[guitarandsinger]

good luck yer my maths was pretty shit to ive got my next interview soon for rifleman

[MegaPaulJ]

@guitarandsinger haha i did it today. got all the jobs i wanted. so happy. cheers

[RainMcCallum]

@MegaPaulJ You talking about your Assessment Day? I'm assuming you went well haha, got any tips or pointers? Mine's coming up soon.

[LopperSydney]

Sorry your not good enough to become a bricklayer kiddo.

[gwhunter1986]

besides these blokes arent training to go to iraq, they look like army reserve soldiers just doing some building clearence training .........

[Nassault630]

Much of Iraq and Afganistan fighting is building clearence, this could possibly be training for it.

[gwhunter1986]

is it? are you sure? when i was there i never once fought inside a building and i did a bit of fighting....... if they were going to iraq or afghanistan they would already be kitted out with their desert equipment and would be training in the garb they would be using over there! ive been on three deployments so far, i do have an idea how things work..... besides it looks like a typical reserve depot too.....

[sucksqueezebangblow]

yeah british are way better...funnier anyway...look up a pilot dropping harrier into beach lol , super....battle hardened

[gwhunter1986]

well i can say as an iraq and afghan war vet of the Aus Army that our regular army infantry and armour boys do see action. Especially in afghanistan.

[motoenthusiest99]

excuse me are you an ex-army officer if you are would you be able to reply to this message through youtube please. thanks.

[gwhunter1986]

Im not an Ex army officer, im a current serving army NCO

[Essassin00]

i go for my test in 3 days for the australian army so if i pass all them i should be leaving jan/feb 2010 for training.

[SGTGerman]

Start my Brit training at same time. Good luck m8.

[REECEAVA]

signing up january 2013

[GibboSASR]

why so long away

[REECEAVA]

theve got blanks with laser senses.. it electric shocks you when shot.. like i little sting

[codyrox8]

what are they shooting. i wanna join when im older.

[paratrooper6]

blanks. You can see they are wearing the lazer system (no idea what it's called).

I wanna join too, but I cant decide between the Australian Army and the British Army.

[REECEAVA]

Join Australian.. Its Safer .. England More People Die

[paratrooper6]

mainly becasue they are actually sent into action more.

If you join the British army you are more likley to see action. Unless you join 4RAR or the SASR here in Aus.

[Aussieprick01]

I've had the privilage of being in the Australian Army but if your looking for action the British Armys the way to go. Plus the British Armys not crippled by oh&s laws and is battle hardened.

[SGTGerman]

Cheers m8 but like Gwhunter1986 says - u guys do see action which is good cuz we need as many elite forces out their helping us.

i.e. not French lol.

[gwhunter1986]

Umm ive never had oh&s cripple the training ive done with the ADF, every exercise (including live fire) has never had an ounce of realism takin out of it because of these crippling laws as you put it!!! and im in a combat corp!!!! you say you were in the ADF? what corps were you in and unit/s did you serve with?

[REECEAVA]

Australian Army

[mximusprime]

im gonna join the army in a couple of years

[jjjjtttteeee2009]

they are usually blanks, but sum times paintball.

this is definitely blanks

[minablock]

what are they shooting at each other?

[jjjjtttteeee2009]

Black hawk looks like i might see you there,

if not good luck to u

[blackhawk1590]

ive just joined the army im going to basic training in october i cant w8 its going to be sick.

after that im going to singo to become a rifleman woooooooooo

[spitfireMK22]

I was planning to do the same thing! becoming a rifleman eventually! do you choose to be a rifle man after basic at Kapooka or do you enlist as a rifleman, and after basic go straight to singo, because the website doesnt make that clear LOL!

[65rainbowchild]

whats the song

[kronk95]

Foo Fighters - All my life

[sucramsamson]

There is nothing Homosexual about what I am seeing

[GJH27]

Old SFTF Dig?

[jjink69]

3:23 you're dead mate..

[igasigas]

ripstickcamp

u will join as infantry and then after 80 k-town go to singo for 3 months or what ever, they will teach u all the jobs in a section, then when you get to you battalion u will get to go into DFSW or other support shit.

[ripstickcamp]

does anyone know if when u join the infantry you get to sign up to be a rifleman or machinegunner or do the recruiters just you in what they think you do best plz someone tell me

[Jackassbobby112]

If you are thinking of becoming an Machine Gunner you have to Complete the Machine gunner Course at the School of Infantry. The Recruiters are there to help you with the job you want to do. What is best for you is only yourself to decide.

Goodluck

[Jared0300]

you can only be a rifleman if you shoot good enough

[shakengandulf]

you gota do a test to see what your good at, if you are good for rifleman you will find out...

[foxygunns]

im 17, out of school and im half way into joining up, these guys look to be rifleman, but rifleman dont really do raids....

and none of the rainf has been in any kind of combat for a long time, there leaving it for specail forces to do..

which is y im considering, dropping becoming a rifleman and going into a surport role?

[Mo0nBugGy1]

Theres been no real conflicts for a long time.

[larakin]

There's no exact "training"

But you will still have to do drills, like Marching and all the grunt work from time to time.

The Army is awesome because whatever you earn you may as well add an extra 10 Grand on top of your salary. Why?

Because of the extra Marching and routines you do if you're in Admin. Haha the Army rules!

[UNKNOWNPOW]

I'm joining the army reserves possibly in a non-combat role, for example operator admin. If I choose a non-combat role, does anyone know if there will any further infantry and combat style training after training at kapooka?

Cheers if you know, if not let us know about your experiences in recruiting and any advice which you'd feel would be helpful for a recruit. Thanks

[blakeblake321]

Great video 5*

Can't wait till i go Infantry 2 more years to go

[Mikerocka]

this looks fun my bro mate told me about this he does it i think its called Urban Ops or sumthing and they shoot blank rounds and shit awesome

[Supermannen6]

Thats 3rd battalion yeah? seeing as there training for Iraq im assuming it is?

[jlace22]

nah mate its not 3RAR... it was 42RQR (choco's)

[cornerstone111]

I wonder how many of these dudes have die already???

[berenwantsit]

none of them would of died :D

[hendomaster]

Australian army is one of the best trained armys in the world, America is really only good coz they have NUMBERS!!!

[blakeblake321]

exactly

[Yakkaman]

lol, at 1:19, did that guy infront even know there was another person in the corner:?

[BadBrad1991]

I have a question. If you're a qualified rifleman what do you do while you're at a base in Australia rather than on deployment overseas? Cause the job description makes out out that the job is only combat so what would you do while you're not on deployment in a warzone?

[youngfordy01]

u would train on barracks until ur deployed

[byrontendo]

To be honest. Not alot.

[Yakkaman]

you would just keep on training right? keep ur skills up to scratch and to always be prepared

[goose36]

fuck me, this shit just keeps poping up, a bunch of chocs playing!

[EvasiveEcho]

Don't laugh, you just might need them one day. Kokoda...ringing any bells. last time i checked they were chocs and they sure as shit werent playin

[youngfordy01]

go fuck ya dad u little gay fuck if ya just gonna say shit like that then fuck off

[ripstickcamp]

hey goose36 u should look up to these people if your american because in ww2 you's couldnt stop the japs on land australia was the first country to stop the japaneese invasion on land so suck my aussie dick asshole

[blakeblake321]

shit im uassie but i know well held them off but i didnt know we where the first, we fucking rock haha

[PteEggyJ]

The F88 Austeyr the only real difference between the AUG and F88 is that the F88 is manufactured in Sydney(I think), personally I like the F89 Minimi (shown at 1:39) it goes fast. (soory if i missed something about the variant aspects of the AUG and F88)

[LoveGLuvan]

i like that weapon they use. they use the, Steyr AUG

[fighting1die]

it seems like a computor game

[lobbie111]

hahaha this just shows how much better Aussie troops must be if these are branded SF, great video though

[tageast84]

hahahahaha

[damanlyboyz]

is this at the SOI in singleton???

[ebglider91]

One of the other videos says its at Puckapunyl

[jlace22]

it was in Rockhampton, QLD

[ArmyJonHall]

raytheon, pull your head in. This isn't SF. This is MY video I put up here in 2005. It's standard MOUT training.

[rayethon]

You have joined YOUTUBE on August 23, 2006. You probably own time machine.

[ArmyJonHall]

Just because I joined YouTube in 2006 doesn't mean the video didn't exist before then. Your assumptions are embarrassing yourself.

[rayethon]

"I put up here in 2005" can you read????

[ArmyJonHall]

*sigh* The video isn't yours. You don't know the background of it. It's that simple. I'm done here.

[ArmyJonHall]

Jesus you can't even spell 'Infantry'.

[LtProfty]

no no its not training for iraq its just the standard mout training that all infantry goes through

[krazyhacker]

they aint SF...aussie SF use m4's and the like the guns shown are F88 styer aug's, nice vid but

[bjjmachado]

ur a fkn moron for a starter there f88 austeyr training rifles not there prop issue , an where does it say any where about being sas it says "infantry training" btw sas use m4

[syea99]

more mp5s for that closed quarters kinda shit.

[AussieAidan]

Aussie Soldiers.......Simply the Best.......Better than all the rest......and they dont need to bullshit or rave on about it, they just get the job done, we are all proud of you

[stripper01]

hey raytheon nice work and keep up the good vids.. sux about youtube...can u tell me the name of song in this video though please?

thnx stripper01

[ozziavi80r]

MILES training, probably pre-East Timor not sure.

[bcoy1para]

crap!! i saw lota mistakes ther!!!

[rapier12345]

All wrong. Mates of mine made this - try Army reservists in Queensland. This is done in one of the sheds there on the "barracks"/depot. It is already on YouTube under a few different names. Sorry 2/4 soldier. If you were in, you probably would have been to this place before you went to the "Bay", or at least stayed there overnight. And the rooms inside are mostly demountables. As you can see, while the training might be good, it is done on a limited budget.

[jaseman003]

Look at the weapons, not sas, infantry

[rayethon]

Today Youtube removed couple of my military videos about US Army. I´m threatening by Youtube that if I will continue in uploading "offensive videos against muslims" (its not a joke) they will suspend my account. This is unbelievable censorship against freedom of speech done by Youtube!!! Hundreds of hate speeches against West by muslims clerics are posted every day here. My videos about brave men protecting their country and all the free world are removing!!! SHAME ON YOU YOUTUBE!!!

[tiBbLeX]

see fucking muslims are taking over the world, blow em up before its to late I say.

[gotroppo]

Crap... this is NOT Australian Specail Forces, Its more than likely either 1 or 2 RAR doing MOUT training at Lavarack Barracks in Townsville. Trust me Im a former 2/4 RAR soldier so I should have some idea about where this footage was taken :)

[somacribmister]

This is not the special forces

[metalslammer]

dats totally not the sas they was to lacking in diciplin n ur rite there faces would b covered up n all that

[LitleBird]

No special forces here, regular Australian grunts.

[sneakeypete]

Hehe, yeah, think they'd have a bit more disipline if they were SAS...

[Blake198]

this is Australian Special Forces Training right before they went into Iraq, the video title says so.. DO NOT QUESTION THE MOVIE UPLOADER YOUR ALL NUTS AND YOU SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH!

[ozziesoldier]

lol, they aint SAS if they were everyones faces would be blured out out covered, and they would tamper with there voices so they couldnt be recognised

[loloken]

Good choice of music

[jbdefence]

this is 1rar doing cqb training at holsworthy in 2001

[ozziavi80r]

Uh it's MOUT not CQB, and if it's been filmed at Holsworthy it's not 1RAR, as 1RAR is based at Lavarack Barracks. If it's been filmed at HSB, which I highly doubt as they use Shipping Containers for MOUT training, it would be featuring 3RAR in the Film.

Regards, ozziavi80r

[jbdefence]

this was filmed at holsworthy its 1rar doing close quaters training and it was filmed in 2001

[ozziavi80r]

Don't you read my posts? lol it's not 1RAR @ Holsworthy... FFS, 1RAR are at Laverack... 3 & 4 RAR are the only reg inf units in syd.

[Auzzzie]

Yeah, not SF.

[grahto]

i think this video was filmed way before september 11. There are hundred of copies on hundreds of sights. This aint special forces. This aint pre-iraq training. This is standard training

[tdhs1]

this video is the worst one so far

[ThunderboltTactical]

Special Forces?

Not bloody likely mate. Our Commando's use M4 systems. The F88 (Steyr AUG) is our standard infantry rifle!

Looks like it's just basic close quarters combat training for the newbies. They wouldn't be horsing around if they were 4RAR.

[M24SocomSniper]

jip this is basic training

my cousin is in the special forces of australia and he use's M4's so this is just basic training

[peter08754]

kangoros.

hahahaha
