This is a deploying ARMY Reserve Unit going through a BASIC Combat Training Program. This is a mixed unit including non-combat jobs. Overseas everyone is at risk and many are being tasked to do combat missions. As result everyone goes through the basic tactics and principles in our programs.
We have captured thousands of hours of film in the Urban Warfare Center® over the years. We were compelled to do training because of 9/11 and provided the training at NO COST to the military or Police for nearly 7 years. Now the mission is over as units are getting more than adequate combat training.
We are in the process of cutting some of this historical film to document the people, methods, tools and emotion experienced during this important phase of our lives. Some films will be commercially available (we have released 7 DVDs to date that can be purchased at www.opsgear.com) others like this one will be posted here so you can benefit from the content.
This film is about an Army Reserve Unit that was deploying to Iraq in 2007. We have trained many units like this since 2002 and each one has been different. We at OPSGEAR® LOVE the soldiers, sailors, airman and marines that serve our nation! We appreciate the Police, federal agents and other 911 professionals who stand post each and every day.

@xenoz845 Ooh, hoo! Excuse me! I'm a female, 5'11'' and I'm stronger than most guys. I don't feel much pain and I'm able to lift a gun - two- even. Nice to see you diss people that do more than you do!

@ks610 Ya they play those tracks in the UWC to simulate some of the sounds they could be hearing over there. But as to the actual one in the video I am sure it is for that scene.

Question to those paying attention, at about 4:40, is that music sound track or being piped though speakers in the "kill house"?

Bravo's awesome. Casually you could never tell that he was U.S. Special forces, but dressed in all that gear, he looks he can kick any body's "butt".

I believe in Ezan should be banned in Muslim countries which contain a single foreign troop as enemy. They do not deserve it. If you say you believe in Allah, if your mouth says you obey Allay then should be ready to drop your blood to gain it and your son's freedom. In the fight which US government lies to its people as saying "war against terror", the ultimate matter for a single muslim patriot is a simple math; how many you killed and how many friends you lost in the end of the day.
