- Complicated topic to cover but by watching this video, the whole way through, you will get a better understanding of how individual pieces of the Army make up bigger and bigger organizations. Also, this shows you how some Army MOS may not be combat related but have the change of being close to infantry soldiers and therefore...combat.

Last time I was this early, Matt had not been promoted to a 5 star general
lol
Idk why, but enlisted soldiers just really hate officers
He's no officer he works for a living
MinesWayNicer wrong. There have been 8 5-star generals, along with 4 5-star admirals
@@zackyvt1319 that’s the world over and not just limited to the military.
Currently, although who knows for how much longer, “work” is undertaken by a lower echelon of staff. We can call them co-workers, colleagues or whatever you want. But in every area of “work” there are the “doers”. Very loosely this means the bin men who operate refuse carts, or coal miners, or infantry men and basic rifle holders (how many have I just alienated... ).
Above that come the ubiquitous layers of “management”. For military reasons call that “officers” and we’ll let others comment on differences between non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers. Sadly a lot of people can relate to not liking the “boss”. People are put in powers of authority for all sorts of reasons and not every one is suited to that role.
The military, god bless them, put a huge amount of effort into training their officers. There are times when those under the command of said officers may not see that training coming shining through...
Long and involved and over complicated (was I an officer in a previous life...) but that summarises why the enlisted man (or woman) as a group is known to dislike officers.
1. Corps
2. Division
3. Brigade
4. Battalion
5. Company/Battery
6. Platoon
7. Squad
I’m sorry for asking but what is a Regiment?
@Yelle Slegers a regiment is a unit larger than a Battlion, but smaller than a brigade. It's not commonly used in the modern US army since we've embraced the strategy of Brigade Combat Teams, each BCT having all the essential components needed to wage war individually. Regiments don't make sense in that paradigm.
@@yelleslegers581 a regiment is the equivalent of a battalion but used mainly for Engineers like in most countries you have engineer Regiment instead of battalion. However it is structured like a battalion, they are mainly specialized like parachute regiment, engineering regiment etc so even if its about the same size as a battalion or Brigade in few countries, it is almost always specialized unlike a battalion which need not be specialized
@@SIRslipperyasp91 i think its actually the same size as a battalion in most countries but specialized, like, Engineering, parachute Regiment etc
you missed the fire team which is the smallest subunit within the army that should be before the squad and you also missed the Section, which is in between the squad and the Platoon
Writing a book with a side character that was in the army. Very informative, thank you so much!
How's the book going?
@@fallapi really good!! 342 pages so far!! :)
@Heheha really good!! Thank you for asking! :) almost finished with the second draft!
Woah nice!! Hope your book is going well. I’m writing something similar so I know how hard it can get.
I am also here to learn about military stuff for my made up characters, taking notes along the way so I actually learn something lol
Great theme. I've been confused with divisions brigades platoon etc
Yea lots of terms, I was confused too lol
I've been struggling keeping it all straight since I enlisted six months ago. Great video I've watched most of your videos and they are super helpful and informative thank you!
This is a great jump start for new soldiers
Thank you for your service Matt
Very helpful, I started researching this last night and got bogged down quickly. Great vid
💚💚💚 great topics. I’m medical support so I never really work first hand with infantry but it’s cool too see it at this level.
I watched this a few weeks ago and now I'm watching it for a ROTC assignment kind of cool
Dude I'm so glad I watched all the way thru. I served 6 years as a 13F for the VAARNG. God bless you and your brother. Your video opened my eyes to the speciality and power of a 13f. We can have BIG GUNS at our dispolse with a quick fire mission. I kinda want to rejoin! Horrah.
What's the difference between a 13F in a Infantry Unit and a 13F in a Armour Unit? Just asking.
Hey can you asnwer quick maybe im joint the army I wanna be a badazz and do fun stuff but at the same time got three babies at home an wanna play it safe as possible w that being said if I Join infrantry Ik anything can go down what would be a good job 49 on asvab am I even good to join infrantry
Yes. I was waiting for a video like this for a while. 👍🏼
Glad I finally got around to getting it done! haha
Got back from a run to watch your vid 🏃🏽♀️
I know it all, why am I watching this? Ah yes bc Matt is cool
The brigade from left to right:
1 x headquarters battalion
3 x infantry battalions
1 x towed artillery battalion
1 x recon battalion
1 x special troops battalion
1 x combat engineer battalion (I don't know why it has its own signal company attached)
1 x support battalion
There have been no special troops battalion since 2016. 1 cav squadron, 3 inf battalions, 1 arty battalion with 2x 105mm, 1x 155mm, 1 engineer battalion, 1 bsb, and of course the brigade hq.
I was always interested in how a light infantry battalion was organized. I was in the squadron of an armored brigade and it was composed of hq with both co and xo have Bradley's, 3 cav troops each with 13 m2a3 Bradley's with 2-4 scouts per bradley, 2 mortar tracks, 1 command track for the xo, 1× tank company with 14 m1a2 abrams with 4 support vehicles in the hq, and of course a forward support company with like 200 personel and dozens of support vehicles.
Just got out of the Marines, going Army now. I didn't really pay enough attention to the big picture for my first couple of years so I never understood the structure very well during that period. You don't have to understand it all but it sure does make getting stuff done way easier if you step in understanding all of this.
I’ve been asking this all my life 😭 Thank You.
Hello, thanks for explanation, could you make a logistics video (how much food, water, ammo, fuel does an infantry battalion require depending on different combat conditions and how to calculate it)?
I love these educational videos! Thanks for the knowledge
Damn I watch one video now I'm here going through your entire channel. I think I was in this channel for hours. Good video!
hahaa thanks!!!
My daughter started at Fort Leonard wood 2 weeks ago
. I.mess her so.much
.thank you for your service
Great video Matt . You know your stuff. I will be looking forward to viewing your other video's. Thanks. Ron MacGillivary.
Hi mate, loving your work. I’m a veteran from the Australian army, and most of my 23 year career specialised in command post and operations. Have you heard of ORBAT war v ORBAT peace? As well as attachments specific to the operation or exercise? Eg. Delta company 2/4 RAR had a section of special forces as well as an engineers attached to its HQ. Each platoon had teams of SF and engineers attached for a small duration of a 6 week exercise. Also, mapping, and explaining military symbology on a topographical map eg. On the left hand side of an infantry company symbol, you’ll have the unit identifier, in this example it was D Coy, and on the right of the symbol was the higher unit identifier you’ll have 2/4 RAR. This may sound simple, but when you’ve got 1 RAR 2/4 RAR as well as 3 RAR (Para), on the same map. This is when it gets more complex, especially when you’re giving an intel brief to a brigade commander about incidents that had occurred in the last 12 hours, which included DTG and who moved. Use of call signs is a huge one, when to use it and when not. Who had broken comms and who had not called in. This was a snippet of some of my field work whilst deployed as a brigade field intel, attached from a battalion. I hope this all makes sense, and hit me up if you need further explanation. Cheers
Thanks for the good info man! 👍 68w leaving for Fort Sill June 29th
Finally. When will matt be the president?
2040 lol
Nice. I hope to vote for you for president soon. Lol
Matt Ward you heard it here first folks
boooo
I leave for basic at Fort Jackson July 6th and my ait is at fort gordon, I’m really excited for it all
yoo you and me have the same path!!
owen mclaughlin really bro?? My start date is the 13th
Thank you 🫡🇺🇸🙏
Thank god, I watch so much WW2 doc's and I'd really like to understand better.
Happy Monday Matt!
Thanks you too!
I wish they went into this more in Basic training. I went to a BSB and man that was confusing with all the officers and which section does what. But it’s nice being in a HHC company we get some of the nice things the officers get because it’s more officer heavy.
Thanks bro
That stuff you didn't know on the brigade org chart, I also don't know for sure but rough memory thinks self propelled arty, looks like a separate hq, ew radar platoon, and 105 and 155 sp howitzer companies
If your brother is a 13F, he is most likley in 3rd Platoon, 4th Platoon, or 5th Platoon of HHB of an FA BN. Each of these Platoons Support an Infantry Bn. Each squad suppots a different Infantry Company. Usually 2 or 3 Indinduals get attacthed to an Infantry Platoon.
Bro, I saw 13f and could not resist. As a grad of the 3rd 13f class at PNOC (OG) you take personal as they come and hope they all get along. It's probably the most diverse group of soldiers amongst the purists of combat arms.
Great video man
Thanks!
You got the heavy weapons company a bit wrong. The HQ section is the commander, 1SG, XO, supply, commo. 4 platoons, Each platoon has 4 HMMWV’s (sometimes 5), 2 ITAS (TOW’s), 2 MK 19’s, 2 .50’s, 2x 240’s.
NATO rectangular symbology diagrams. Thankyou this is the most interesting video you've made so far. Marines do not eat crayons but they are obsessed with them along with other industrial grade writing utensils and this is the reason why. Combat leaders field guide and dictionary of military terms are books you might want to get on this. I am curious as to how high up in the commissioned ranks someone gets before they start working with these diagrams ?
At 1:31, Buddy, you're all about "The Infantry Standard" (the standard by which all others are judged by)! 👍
I'm pretty sure you were showing us a pre 2014/2016 infantry battalion organization. Almost certain there are no mortars in the battalion hq but the weapons company plt has 2-4 81mm mortars that can be broken down and carried by a team of 4-5 11c's for each mortar. The weapons company also specializes in mk19/ 50. Cal operation and has a plt with tow humvees/ jltvs. And the battalion hq scout plt isn't all cav scouts but many 11b's are assigned as necessary.
Big Red One! Greetings from Manhattan, Kansas!
Great video
Matt I’m at Fort Benning right now training as a cav scout (19D) and I don’t know what it’s gonna be like in the next few weeks because of corona. Any idea what will happen later?
Jesus is coming soon LOOK UP
I assume that the FSS would be in the HQ. Because back when I was in the army the observers were in the HQ squad. But as you know the military changes so maybe I could be wrong
Hi! Matt! so an infantry MOS enlisted soldier that make it to e7 or e8 but not as a platoon sergeant or first sergeant, and go to battalion staff, that will be only in the S3 section?
There are 4 rifle platoons in a rifle company and 4 squads in a platoon. Heavy weapons companies have 4 platoons with 2 squads (sections) Heavy weapons company has 50 cals, mk19’s and tow missiles. 60mm mortars are in the rifle companies and the big mortars 81s and 120s are in the battalion headquarters company (HHC). There’s also a company for support mos’s like mechanics, cooks, cbrn etc. At least that’s the way the 101st has a infantry battalion set up from my personal experience.
You should do video about what is the army brigade made of
Where the Army has made some big changes is above the brigade level.
Meaningless.
I'm irritated that I attempt to approach military history from the combat level (company to squad and team tactics) because they fascinate me almost as much as weapons design, only to be stifled by the intellectual "establishment" around the subject(s): endless chattering about massive divisions and the rear-area-dwelling politicians (flag officers) who are most focused on by historians/scholars.
lookng for more specific numbers & equipment
What's in the CMD, HQ and staff sections? They're on the whiteboard but you didn't really specify how they work or what they consist of
This is a great video and well explained. One question I do have is, how are brigades, battalions, companies, and corps named ?
Yes, I know the companies are name in alphabetical order and they start with alfa, bravo, charlie, delta, echo and so on, but I only know the first ones because my brother was in Charlie company and was telling me the names of the other when I went to the base for his graduation but idk the rest. I guess if u google them you can see the whole list.
@@natyrdz12 Thanks man, I appreciate it.
Thank you! My son is in the army. I'm learning. It's a new world for us.
What you are missing from this are the Civilian “Special Officers” who are frequently embedded into Military Command Structures because when Military Personnel are posted out of a Unit on a regular basis (posting cycles of 2 & 3 years) continuity within the Unit is lost.
Take for example a problem which presents today, but which also presented itself once before, say 7 years ago.
Nobody in the Unit today was here 7 years ago and therefore no one here actually knows the solution.
Now the wheel could be reinvented, but that could take valuable time OR the Civilian “Special Officer” who has been here since before that problem last appeared, can be consulted for a solution.
love your videos matt I leave for Fort Sill on June 3rd, I'm pretty nervous as I'm not in the best shape but I've got 3 weeks to improve that a bit, any tips for me.
Run. And make sure you can run far. Thats the worst part for most is the 2 mile
Straight up read a book on fitness and fitness goals. I dont have any recommendations, but check out life Is a special operation on CZcams to get an idea on what it takes for sof to prepare on a daily basis
Guerrilla Drills. Also Known As :Circuit Training. Find a place such as a high school track. Bring a timer (most phones have them in clock settings) and set it to 30 seconds for each exercise. You will also be running. Before doing your training, warm up: run in place or do jumping Jack's (called Side Straddle Hops in the Army) for at least Thirty seconds. Stretch your entire body from your neck to your feet. Do joint rotations. This will prevent injury. Run one lap on the grass of football field (lessens impact on joints), not full throttle, just get blood pumping. After that, do the following or variations of them: Push Ups, Run in Place Crunches, Side straddle hops, Dips, Squat Thrusts (Burpees) for 30 seconds each. Then run a lap. Go for Five sets. Don't worry about counting reps, just crank them out. Don't quit. Do those five revolutions, then do one extra lap as a cool down. Then do same as warm up but hold each stretch for 2x as much as warm up, this is the cool down. It prevents injuries. The next day, plan a slow jog on that grass for no more than two miles. Do warm up and cool down. On day 3 do active rest (go for a long walk) and stretching. Day 4 do Pushups/Sit up Diamonds. After Warm Up: Do ten Pushups. Then 10 sit ups. Then 9 push ups Then 9 sit ups, etc until you are at one push up/sit up. Rest, drink water, and stretch for one minute, then do two pushups and two sit ups and on and on until you reach ten again. If you hit failure on pushups, do modified pushups on your knees until you get them done. Don't get up until they are all complete. Rest, hydrate and do your cool down stretching. Day 5. After Warm up, run two miles. Try to get in the range where you can't talk while running. The best way to start out is do interval runs:Jog for 1/8 a mile, run 1/8, etc until you get 2 miles done. Then walk for a quarter mile while hydrating. Then do cool down. Probably be best to run on a soft surface such as grass. On day 6 active rest. Day 7 rest. Day 8 is day 1, but you should do something different every day. But make this week a run week. Slow 3 mile, next day do pull ups/pushups/sit ups, and hanging leg raises. Incorporate sprints every day. Day three short fast run (1.5 miles) with Sprints at the end. Day 4 Guerrilla Drills, Day 5 Two Mile pace. Sprint the last straighaway. Day 6 active rest. Day 7 Stretching and rest. Next day: do old APFT: (one half): 1 minute pushups. Rest for 10 minutes. 1 minute sit ups. Rest 10 minutes. 1 mile run. Do warm ups and cool down double what normally do but don't do any push ups or squat thrust in warm up. Do stretching and drink some water (don't bloat yourself) during rest period. Go all out. Record number of pushups and sit ups and your time. Don't be disappointed. You're just getting started. Day 2 should be active rest. Day 3, long slow run with Sprints.2-3 miles. Day 4 Pyramids. Day - until you ship out should be about pushups and situps: whatever your score was for each, do that, as many times a day as you can. The day before you go, eat your favorite food and relax. Because relaxing is not in your life the next few weeks.
Make sure your head and your ass or wired correctly
How do war simulation that generals do look like? Do they use just tabel top "games" or they put their troops to simulate a combat situation?
What’s the best way to pick which MOS you want if your stuck between a couple?
Which one will give you the best options for work once you get out?
1st. Watch my videos on picking an MOS. Second, if you ACTUALLY can't decide and like both equally, then there is no problem with flipping a coin and picking one. Otherwise if you don't like the outcome then you clearly like the other one more, so go with that.
Which one will make you the most happy and the one you the most money

ty i needed this to command an army in a war against anarchists and tyrants in minecraft
I get confused when a unit is designated Cavalry, are they referring to Armor, Humvees, or Helicopters?
Depends on what unit they’re assigned to. Cav in a light infantry brigade will be in Humvees. Cav in a Stryker infantry brigade will be in Strykers. Cav in an armored/mechanized infantry brigade will be in Bradleys.
Im in a FSC attached to a Light Infantry Battalion. It's crazy out here lol.
Stay safe we are behind you nothing more honorable than serving your country
Great
You need to draw up an infantry battalion in peace time as well as war time mate. I was posted as an infantry soldier to a battalion for 7 years, and I can rattle off the battalion ‘in peace time’ off the top of me head. But if we are going to on a brigade exercise, then the size will balloon from 700 men to over 3,000 personnel. So what your describing there is a battalion in peace time. Cheers
No Cav scouts in a recon platoon either (or an Infantry Battalion at all for that matter) they’re 11Bs. Every mortar section that I’ve seen is integrated into the HQ Platoon as well, I’ve never seen a Light Infantry company with 5 platoons in a company
*Scout platoon

What is being referred to when someone says like "1st of the 504"? Is that referring to their battalion or regiment or what?
1st of the 504th would be 1st Battalion, 504th Infantry Regiment
whats a regiment? Im confused about the grenadier guards they're a regiment yet they're called 1st battalion?

"Get Up! Rise and Shine! Get your bunks made. Square away your areas! You go ten minutes!" You learn time management really quick.
Aren't scout platoons made up of infantry from the battalion and not cav scouts?
Why is there a need for the music beat in the back ground?
Yo I'm thinking of joining OCS after I get my degree in industrial engineering, what branching do you think might be best?
I'd probably say field 12: Corps of Engineers just based on your degree. Depending if do actually like engineering of course.
Forget all that, commission in the Air Force. Thank me later.
There are many support careers for the Air Force that utilize engineers. They’re not technically in the military, but they are DOD. Army corps of engineers is also an option. The first step would be to decide if you want to utilize your education or rather try something else like intelligence for example. There are no shortage of careers for smart guys in every branch.
Join the Navy or air Force stay safe
@@tfddon1271 no doubt navy second I only had a GED so no air Force for me so I went navy and got to see 7 countries
Is it true that you can come out of basic training as an E4 Specialist?
If you qualify for it yes. But you would know that at enlistment. You don't get promoted to E4 AT BCT.
Matt Ward a few guys in my platoon while I was in OSUT actually did get promoted to E4
What was the reason for it? Some get delayed promotions because their paperwork takes time to process, since they didn't get it submitted in a timely manor. Promotion to E4 at BCT is against the current regulations based on merit/performance at BCT. Not sure about AIT which is essentially the same thing for OSUT. After the BCT portion though.
When i was in the Navy if you enlisted for 6 yrs and passed your A school then you got e4
I enlisted for 4 yrs and got e2 out of basic but within two years I was E4
Can you make a video on military intelligence? Like how fast intelligence officers get promoted and the quality of life etc
He would have to talk with an MI officer.....they're ghosts you know....shadows....their MOS dictates that they don't talk about their MOS...
But seriously, MI junior Officers get promoted at the same speed as Infantry Junior Officers. The only drawback being there are fewer of them so Competition for Command above Company Grade will be relatively tough. But if you're up for the challenge, I say go for it.
Promotions can stall for MI officers at LTC. I've had a battalion commander that never was a company commander before though so command is not necessary to promote, just held key MI staff and leadership positions. Its a different breed in MI based on mission requirements and performance in job roles.
Cool
Where dose 31e fall in this category?
They are not part of an Infantry Command. 31E serves in an MP Company assigned to either a Facility or in a Support Brigade/Group. But you could be tasked out at the Platoon Level to run an "EPW" Camp in a forward area. 31Bs are assigned to a Company which can be assigned/attached to a Special Troops Brigade. Gone are the days of Division MPs. An MP with 31B MOS will Typically be assigned to an MP COMPANY. In one of the 3 or 4 MP Platoons. Or even to HQ Platoon to protect the Company Commander. Within an MP Platoon, they will be assigned to a Squad by the Platoon Leader/Platoon Sergeant. Within the Squad they will be assigned to a Three Member MP Team (Team Leader, Driver, Gunner). This is the Basic set up for a 31B Unit. 31E might be slightly different, but the principle is the same. EPW Camp is the old name for Resettlement/Internment Camp (Enemy Prisoner of War), which does more than deal with enemy soldiers.
I'm going to graduate with a bachelors degree in political science and a minor in History. I want to do OCS and was wondering what officer branch would be good for me? I'm thinking about Military Police and I also have plans on doing my masters in History in fall of 2021
You should make an appointment to talk with a recruiter. I don't have a clue how recruiters are taking care of business now with the Pandemic. They have a personality test they can use. I am partial to MP because I was one. Good luck.
Hey man, graduated with my Bachelors in History and Masters in Government, which is essentially political science. Got OCS in my contract. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want advice
Why be a cop? They are paid a shitty wage and the way they are treated now screw that

what about 13 Bravo would that be under heavy platoon?
Infantry battalions doesn't have artillery.
13B would be in the field artillery regiment assigned to the division
I’m legit watching this so I can guess how many plastic models I should buy.
Im reading A Farewell to Arms, then it got all complicated, what’s a platoon? lol
Matt’s whole division was destroyed during the second hour of his re-explanation of his attack plan...
whats on his shirt tho?
You just gotta say to hell with hell and not be afraid.
How does medical units work?
You either work at a clinic or hospital or you are assigned to a line unit where you will be assigned to combat arms company with 4 total medics with the highest rank being a e5, the battalion hq section that has a Lt or Co to lead the medical section along with a senior SSG and an additional 3-5 E4 and below medics, or the battalions forward support company where its similar to the Hq section but there isn't an officer. As a medic assigned to a line unit, you will occasionally rotate to work at your brigades clinic and help the civilian nurses and the captain/ major in charge of the battalion medical department.
As far as I remember, it was Napoleon and his grand armee that formed this system which would be copied by every army in the world.
Correct me if I'm wrong..
Rome came up with it I think
Still dont understand why the hell Army keeps that ww2 offshot IBCT as main infantry force, in my opinion even strykers are more suited for that roles.
all i know is lieutenant corporal and seargant i know that from cod
wouldn’t chemical be in the reconnaissance with cavs?
No chemical if it were attached to a Inf Battalion like this example would be similar to how the Signal Section is. Or if they have enough attachments there may be another company for that. Since, you can't just cram all the "special" soldiers in the same company.
It would be an attachment. Not part of Special Troops Bn, but under a Chem Bn. Probably not more than a Platoon unless Situation dictated more.
Matt Ward makes complete sense, just wasn’t sure of they would fit in the puzzle, I appreciate the response! Hoping to be a 74d soon
Mr. K.I.S.S oh, gotcha 👍 thank you for responding!

One INfnatry Division should consist of 7 infantry battalions and 2 artiller batallions so that they have a 20 combat width for efficiency
What sense would that make? I think an infantry divsion should still have its 9 infantry battalions, 3 cav battalions, the division should have an armored battalion consisting of light tanks/ up gunned strykers/ lav-25's. Also the divsion artillery should consist of 2x additional battalions with a mixture of m777/ m142 himars. Us army Ibct's need the additional fire power as russian infantry motorized divsions have 2-3 mechanized regiments with bmp's/ btr-80's and 1 armored regiment, as well as a artillery regiment with 100-120 guns/ mlrs systems. The infantry divsions cab would have to use their 48 apaches/ 30 Blackhawks very effectively to compete with the russian organization for their infantry divsions.
