Firepower - Desert War Games (Part 1/2)

The US Army's Desert Storm victory was practiced for many years in the harsh terrain of California's Mojave Desert. Experience the realistic wargames at the National Training Center, which helped ensure the Persian Gulf victories. Laser technology enables mock wargames that simulate real combat, with entire battles observed in the Star Wars headquarters. Test your skills against the toughest mechanized unit in the US Army: the Opposing Forces, or OPFOR, which serves as the enemy at the NTC.

The video keeps skipping ahead several seconds several times in the video. Can you please fix that because this video looks awesome.

[OlderG0ds]

Sorry dude this is the best it can be. I had to edit out all the parts where the vid freezes up. There's not a lot missing just short - few second periods.

The problem is there are brief parts of the video that were corrupted so if I left them in, the video would freeze and the audio keep going and it got all out of sync.

The whole video is nowhere to be found on like the entire internet so I had to make do with a 95% complete one.

I was at NTC in OPFOR from 83-88.

@U2teddy NTC was a fun experience for me. I was there in April long long ago. The weather is actually pretty moderate that time of year.

[flashkillerffff]

@OlderG0ds thank you for your efforts!

[THEVETERAN7]

Thanks for all the uploads OlderG0ds. I've seen how many people complain about the skipping but I'd rather have 95% of these documentaries than none at all. As much as I do love these, I couldn't help but laugh when they started presenting the MILES gear as something sophisticated that actually works right more than once in a blue moon.

I get to go to NTC in apr with my unit. looks like a blast.

[burningphoneix]

Well, it seems this can't be helped.

Thanks for the avalanche of recent videos anyway!
