    A couple of years ago I saw one of these helos over Norco.Cal, it was neat! I hope they're never needed here, or anywhere, but it was great to see it! AWESOME! I also remember as a youth hearing and then seeing the first helicopters in Southern California, that was a thrill! How they have improved!

    The hardest part of vertical assault is clearing the LZ. There was no countering fire from the LZ so this vital step was not needed.

      Bringing ospreys into hot LZs not really a good idea.

      Usually there’s a cobra and a a Huey suppressing followed by the assault force from the choppers which will have to haul as to assert fire superiority

      I can tell u, in real life, those Ospreys would have been shot down before they could land.

    They are firing blanks, correct?

    • @lioncelica5170
      @lioncelica5170 Před 9 lety +2

      aux99139Their rifles have blank firing adapters on them, so yes.

    do all infantry battalions deploy with a MEU? or just specific ones?

    • @lioncelica5170
      @lioncelica5170 Před 9 lety +1

      bossalanatorIt depends. You might get to go to a combat zone if you're lucky, but with the way things are now, likely an MEU.

    • @dallasyap3064
      @dallasyap3064 Před 3 lety

      I think it is based on rotations. MEUs conduct new cycles every 6 or 9 months I think. A new infantry battalion will go through an intense 6 months of pre-deployment training to he certified as Special Operations Capable (SOC). And they get deployed for 6 months. When they come back, the battalion gets released and about 2 or 3 or few more months the MEU is resting before going through a new training cycle.
