  • We found this abandoned fake mystery military compound in the middle of nowhere Nevada. It's some type of military mock up town, complete with buggies and more! But it was completely deserted and empty!

    I know this place. Back in 2004 prior to one of my deployments to Iraq we trained at this location. As I recall we primarily practiced air assault operations here. I was a reconnaissance Marine at the time however I remember other branches conducting joint operations with us including an army SF team but I forget the specific Unit. The "missions" practiced here were small scale ( platoon size) stuff using 3 helicopters focused on night ops. I'm about 90% sure that this is the same place.

    @CanisLatrans Před 7 lety +34

    For years, the US Army & Marines trained for a European "big war" against the Soviet Union, but very few units were trained up on urban warfare or "MOUT"-- "Military Operations in Urban Terrain".It's difficult because of the 3-dimension firefight environment, and expensive because to train well, you basically need to build mock-up cities. But when we started the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, we needed to train people how to operate in the small villages that dot the landscape over there.
    Hasty mock-up villages like these were budgeted and built all over. Many are container units that have been painted or plastered to look somewhat realistic. They're designed to be simple and not too cluttered, since the principles of urban combat movement and room-clearing can be applied universally once learned. Simple furniture can be brought and set up if needed.
    A lot of times, units will have "role players" with costumes on pretending to be "civilians on the battlefield" for "shoot/don't-shoot" scenarios. Costumes can be elaborate (full Arabic gear) or hasty (one team turns their uniform shirts inside-out). Training units learn how to clear a room, establish security, and may also learn how to process captured personnel or materiel.

    • @CanisLatrans
      @CanisLatrans Před 7 lety +11

      And, oh yeah-- there may be bullet casings but no bullet holes because the soldiers are firing blanks through a system called MILES-- Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System. It's basically Army laser tag.

    Have to be a little careful in places like this. I own property in a place like this in Northern Arizona. There are no fences no signs of any kind. Just roads. But it is private property that was subdivided decades ago and was to be developed. Only they found out how hard it would be to get water out there and stopped the venture back in the 50's 60's . I bought some of the land and while exploring it I found the old rebar stakes that had been driven in the ground decades ago. This rebar sticks up about 2 or 3 inches and they are everywhere since it was going to be a housing subdivision at one time. But the rebar will definitely give you a flat tire. And there is no cell phone reception out there. There are also a few strange people who live scattered across the area in campers. I say strange people because they are very very unfriendly looking. I guess they know where to drive because they definitely know how to avoid those rebar property stakes. So just be careful going on un known land. And I sure wouldn't take my daughter out there. And carry a emergency locator beacon, and plenty of firepower just to be safe if you dont know the people.

    I'm in the military and we have training villages like this all over the desert, they are called MOCK training sites. I'm assuming you live in Nevada/Utah area where the government has a lot of these to get the soldiers to understand what it's like to be in the middle east. The government did stuff like this in Louisiana and Florida back in Vietnam era. It just allows the military to get a better concept of the environment's they are going to. I know it doesn't have any signs but just be careful because their could be possible mortar shells or bomblettes around, that's the whole reason they are out in the middle of nowhere.

    @ViewThis. Před 7 lety +25

    I live in an area where, if you drive a paved highway north, you end up in the middle of nowhere. Once out there in the middle of nowhere within the space of a week a gas station type of convenience store appeared. It had older style gas pumps, and it looked aged, as if it had been there 50 years. It was a trip!!! And it was just right off the side of the paved road. Turns out, it was a movie set built for Terminator 4. After filming, it was quickly removed and everything was made to look as if it were never there.
    That stuff you are showing there isn't full of bullet holes.....yet. It may be some sort of training ground, or a future movie set.

    • @ViewThis.
      @ViewThis. Před 7 lety +3

      No, but it did show up in the T4 movie. It never occurred to me to take photos. I was too busy freeking out at the sudden appearance of an old convenience store in the middle of nowhere, about 15- 20 miles north of Stanley NM on Hwy 41. that wasn't there a week before. I learned by chance that it was for T4 because I became an extra on T4 and got to learn about it through one of the set builders. If you feel brave, go back to the town in your video in about 6 months. See if it is still there, or if it is full of bullet holes, damage etc. that would give a clue as to what it is. Or go at night with a black light. See what it reveals.

    hey, I think your videos are great! I just don't know what other people complain about. I was living out in Las Vegas for 5 months back in 2008 and my buddy Mark and I were exploring road to Pahrump driving through a canyon and found the entrance to Mount Potosi. On the valley floor trail was a 1964 Jetstar 88 that was rusted out and it's neat finding old stuff especially that old silver mine. we found it late in the afternoon and we were just wearing hiking shoes and shorts and not even thinking about rattlesnakes and scorpions, black widows, and other venomous creatures we were trespassing around, but we had fun that's what it means. We drove by I think two houses people were living in, nice little hillside ranches and they had their own wells, few watchful dogs and we didn't harass them or ask questions or anything we just slowly passed w/very minimal dust and they're living out there for a reason- they want space and they did not have any no trespassing signs because it's a public right-of-way. We found fossilized sea shells in rocks we broke open! You can't find that walking down the sidewalk in a city street.

    I do enjoy watching your videos as you get to some interesting places theat are so different from hrer in the UK. we dont have deserts.I am, however, a little surprised at the discussion that has been going on over trespass.
    I thought that America was supposed to be a land of the free but so many seems to be paranoid, looking over their shoulder in in case the law zooms in. I can understand it to some extent having seen some of the responses of police on youtube, but I thought (or hoped) that such things were a rarity. Am I wrong?
    Of course there is always the chance you might encounter a thug or weirdo, but you could do that in your own area.
    Here in the UK there are trespass laws but they seem to be very different for me the ones over there. you have right to wander and there are ancent footpaths, all over the place a cross private land. you are perfectly free to follow the path. If you do wander across land that has not got a path, or you wander off the path, the owner can only ask you to get back on the path or leave his property.
    The police would not get involved tresspass unless a crime was committed and even then it would not be a big deal, unless the crime was serious.
    There are some restricted military areas but they tend to have fences and warning signs. The claim is usually it's for your safty as there may be gun firing.
    You have got all that land around and people seem so afraid to step on in case you trespass what harm could you do walking a cross the desert. Perhaps they are afraid you will leave footprints and they will send you the bill when the owner has to bring in his cleaning lady to wipe them away!

    • @ExploreWithUs
      @ExploreWithUs  Před 7 lety +37

      Your post is spot on, and I have pinned it to the top due to the fact that you do a very good job of pointing out the problem with most of these comments. Most of the people spewing nonsense about trespassing have no idea what they are talking about. Each state has their own trespassing laws, but they are usually very sensible, and are for the most part considered to be a minor crime if committed. What is even more interesting is the fact that US citizens have so little knowledge of public land, and the buildings located on private land.
      Where this video was filmed, the law states that owners of private property have to either post of fence in the land for it to be considered trespassing. That means if the land is not fenced or posted with signage, you are not trespassing (unless the owner has told you to leave or not trespass). So it's very easy to ensure you are not trespassing.
      It seems many people, as you correctly pointed out, are too afraid to enjoy their outdoors, so they don't want anyone else to either. This is why I think they like to say silly things about trespassing. They hate seeing others out enjoying their lives while they are afraid to do it themselves. At least that is how I see it. What do you think?

      Hopefully, Beto, they were not really trying too hard to shoot you. Maybe they just wanted to scare you away. You have a point about some of the land owners being unconcerned with actual law. It was pretty bad sometimes in Texas when the ranchers got cranky.

      SaulTinker Gaming - *Pakistan. But I was thinking the exact same thing! I read the long form interview / story "the shooter" participated in (I think it was for Vanity Fair?) where he described the compound, walking up the stairs, the balcony Bin Laden would wander around on, and how they made an identical mockup they practiced in "in the middle of nowhere".
      *EXPLORE WITH US*: How freaky is it that you might have just been, when you went up those stairs, in "Bin Laden's bedroom"...? So freaking cool. And terrifying! Glad you didn't run into any trouble.
      *Another question:: What was in that fenced off area in the distance? More similar buildings?

    I didn't see this one before, so I'm seeing this video a little late. Everyone has their opinions of what it is, and that's fine. There is a company near me that provides hyper-realistic settings for urban warfare training in both combat and medical fields, this looks like maybe one of their early town settings. Can't be sure and I'm sure they are not the only ones in the business of that. Not trying to plug them, I have no affiliation with them, but they are Strategic Operations in San Diego. This looks like one of their products that they call an RHU Re-locatable Habitation Unit.
    Anyway, enjoy your videos, keep up the good work and be safe

    the grout in the shaded areas was a different color than those in the light. Also the wood on the doors seemed to be very new and didn't show any weathering. The sign that talked about the weight limit didn't show any signs of sun damage or fading. I would guess that it's new. But the fact that the bushes in the main court yard were natural looking and not smashed down from activity seems to be strange. usually a construction site would have pathways and high traffic areas. there should be marks or tracks for heavy loader equiptment if the cement slabes were trucked in, or from cement trucks. They could have cast them on site like the do for tall cement walls for prisons.

    This would be used as a rehearsal area for some type of special operations teams like Marine Recon, S.E.A.L.S or delta. I was a Force Recon Marine and have train on many sites like this. Most of the time the Military trains on mock cities/towns to practice General urban maneuvers and M.O.U.T. But usually they are just random buildings built and laid out in no particular way. However this site looks like it was built to a pretty specific lay out, so that it would match exactly the distance between buildings & walls & roads..etc.etc. When an elite unit has a High importance mission that needs to be very precise, they will build an "exact replica" mock up to practice on. And I mean exact, like...down to the feet and inches from one structure to another. And you will do dry runs until you could everything blindfolded. For instance when SEAL Team 6 raided and killed bin laden, I guarantee they had a replica of his compound built and they ran dry runs for days before they set out to go hit the real target. These places improve efficiency and safety of risk emissions.

      If it was a paintball site you'd see all sorts of splat marks on the walls. Same applies if they were using SIMs type rounds with real weapons.

      If they policed the place like they're supposed to, it might look that nice, but someone usually breaks a window shutter or door during training. Most MOUT sites also have openings in walls, which are covered with plywood, so they can practice breaching using explosives, without really damaging the buildings themselves.

No conspiracy there, just a training compound in the middle of nowhere to keep the OP secret. Exciting find.

If we torch them with pyro, the trash detail deals with what's left. If the flats are good and especially if they're unique, we take them back and store them, and rent them out. If they're just standard walls then it gets turned to scrap and recycled. Fancy stuff like castles, etc, is wood frames with molded fibershell wall details...this is actual concrete made to withstand weather and probably real training scenarios.
