Mark Koernke discussed his fictional militia novels, focusing on military organization, logistics, and tactical planning for a hypothetical conflict. He addressed caller questions about unit structure, training timelines, and the integration of inexperienced personnel into combat roles. Koernke emphasized the inevitability of internal conflict within the U.S. military and government, arguing that Americans are divided into two irreconcilable camps—patriots and communists—with no middle ground. He criticized the Afghanistan withdrawal as intentional sabotage and betrayal, used it as evidence of government malfeasance, and argued that mandatory vaccination mandates would trigger armed resistance. Throughout, he promoted preparedness, decentralized militia organization, and the concept of 'lead, follow, or get out of the way' as operational doctrine.
The pure love at the dawn of May right That was that No healing child covered by a war Constitution You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny, not to hunt protect yourself and the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless. People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. Invist the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. This number you traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be buried. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Whenever your enemy tells you to be so afraid that you should stand still and... just wait to be in the crosshairs it might be a good idea to remember that they had a lot of plans and other plans other plans beyond that there's a failed multiple times you'd better have plans and other plans and you better be thinking not only in the short but the mid and the long haul people you'd better have plans you better be serious about them evening ladies and gentlemen this is the evening intelligence report i've heard kirky one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest east northeast and uh... ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us off liberty tree radio dot four m g dot com liberty tree radio on satellite ron and that i might grow stations they have an f m conventional station he be based a shimson ultra-hot net hallmark and Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Evening to all of our friends out there across the whole of Lower 49 including the great state of Jefferson with calm sound on two states territories on the clock. It is 804 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It's Monday. It is the last hour of the intel report. It is the 23rd of August. It is the 13th year of open, obvious, pimpin' in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K 2021 Old Earth Calendar 2021 Battle for the Republic, The Dance of Swords Remember, shield, footwork, blade, footwork, blade, all of you have a routine, all of you have a kata. whatever it is that you develop in the way of martial arts or whatever system you embrace to understand what you need to do do it you know what that old axiom lead follow or get the hell out of the way i want you to remember that lead follow or get the hell out of the way those are the three directions and who well only one is going to really find get you where you need to be good i heard a voice who do we have hey me again welcome board up go ahead you're a little soft so you might not want to be using speaker if that's what you're doing you may have to try I'm on another phone so yeah can you hear me well we're here you go right ahead what do you got okay well I was gonna ask about the book a couple of questions the first couple that came to my mind was the tank unit that you had in the book. Where did you come up with the idea for the nicknames that they had? Like the first one that sticks to me is the Warhammer. And that sounds like a really good nickname, but I'm curious where you got the inspiration for that. Well actually it's just that most all of your mech units like to use hard armor. Hard iron. Always remember hard iron, hard steel. You know, steel mace, iron fist. uh... it just we all the war hammers simply because you're going to keep pounding away at what what uh... traditionally an old battle action broad swords battlefield used to sound like they used to say it sounded like a bunch of in the same blacksmith working their war hammers over and over again but it's been in no intelligence to kado because you know uh... iron mongers usually have actually a a system they use your recovery and bounce whenever you feel you know that work but the original idea behind all of these people okay i'll let's put it this way those are fake everything in the book is to a degree you're just getting a a glimpse of how things will be put it that way what it is is an order of battle in a roundabout way and even there they've been changes at the book was originally done which was a behind the wires project all three of them were well four because number four is actually in motion but dot trying to find time as it is um... Most all of the different order of battle structures were based on the idea that either equipment, material, and support that I've already experienced and or had, and how we've applied it or put it to use, how we've organized it. And it's really where we are. Light armor versus heavy, less sophisticated versus grossly over complicated. And even with smaller equipment, there's still a lot of complication. This is one of the things we talked about where logistics and support are is critical and never will never does anybody wrapped their brain around it uh... when it comes to maintain things in keeping operate keeping them operational kind of like the thing with what just happened with afghanistan there's no illusion that they have a short term run on this and i depending on what the depth of the logistics are that they captured if it is stolen out the back door and sold somewhere else they're gonna have to put a grip on that real quick or you know it the razor at the blades that fail because you don't have enough And this is true of everything that's perishable. And that's one of the things I try to incorporate into all of the element of the book, step by step, is time, distance, and perishables. Because, you know, everything from people to material, food, munitions, people don't realize how quickly it disappears. And if we understand the logistic terrain and how it has to be fully integrated into something, then it'll make sense. Go ahead, jump in there, please. So another question, this is one that's kind of more like a philosophy question. Okay, when you had the different units in there, you had of course your, you had your colonial marine unit, those are your main ones. Then you had your newly formed units like the ones that one guy was with where he got the French knife at the ceremony. Pretty cool by the way, I like the description of that. But then you also had your other units, what I would call the bulk of them, which was called the militia at large units. Here's my question. Historically, at least from my perspective of the militia, our integration with other parts of the country has been cooperative but independent. So here's my question. If you were, hypothetically speaking, a militia at large unit, which to me I figured is just basically your run of the mill unit that is not affiliated with any specific faction like Lightfoot, Colonial Marines, whatever, how would they know what unit they are? Like for example, there was the one unit that said it was the 2000 408 company of the militia at large. How the hell would they know that they were the two 408 company of the militia at large if you didn't have a single structure overseeing everything? You do have an integrated structure. No, no, that's the whole point. Remember, this is also, you're already, you're already into the first year of the war. By the time you're getting into this element, you're in the later part of the first year of the campaign, of the first part of what is a long campaign. Most important to understand, militia at large is an actual organization. It's not just the militia at large. There is the militia at large. But the militia at large is an actual organization unto itself, kind of like the CMM. And what would happen and is prepared to happen, remember, we've already had a lot of time to prepare for this, so we have cadre structure in place. In other words, as I've explained, many people coming into any militia that have got something going on right now with this, there's a group, they've got about 48, 49 people organized, ready to go. And as I pointed out, there's a lot of other people that are in the periphery that, you know, they claim they're going to want to integrate. Are you prepared to do that? well most think and this is the most common mistake made is that they think as a and they and they should not this is not a mistake in that you have to think that way when it comes to fight with what you've got but the most difficult thing to get everybody wrapped their brain around is the people you're turning right now are the cadre that become the the the the core of the next wave what expansion takes place and that's how i've trained everybody it's the that the old motto train the trainers that's what you're doing ideal if you've done well your students should surpass you in performance and in some cases uh... i'm very happy with the results of thirty years ago or thirty five years ago or forty years ago forty plus years ago when i planted the seeds all over the country and for instance the corner marine militia understood operational security they're well disciplined they have good for their f we have a supreme skills i mean they've taken everything from their time in service and dragged over to you know the system we have now but all of them understand to because we've drilled this and everybody's head wherever we can that you're going to have to aid the issue of war councils when it comes to bringing organizations together to work that's something we've talked about before and most important is force multiplication based upon progressive recruitment and the enemy recruiting for you uh... what do you think this whole thing with afghanistan just did to a lot of people who've been in service right now What do you think that did for a lot of people's minds with all the other stuff that's gone on? Which I haven't even touched on something I've wanted to do last week Which brings you step by step to where we are. Do you know how many people that this was the this is it? They've made up their mind. They realize they've had their epiphanies. Everybody has their epiphany at different times We'd like to have them all on the same page all at once, but it just never works that way now as things cascade And that's what happened in book one as things cascade the final betrayals are so grievous that you're either a or b there's no fee uh... right now there's talk let me let me back up a little bit here help you understand what's going on in this country right now the u.s. military has divided up there are no people sitting on the fence there are simply shades of red and yellow or shades of patriot red white and blue okay there's no in between there's none there are no in between you're either a fluffing at the mall crazy as a lone pedo queer working with the red and yellow and you've been indoctrinated all your life in many cases to this and that's the mistake people make we have a whole shit load of people who are truly died in the wall hardcore communist they fully believe in it they are and they are in business they are in the military they're all over the place And they know that they have to shut up because they have been patient in their actions. What they can't believe is that we work the same way. So you've had this competing counterbalance nonstop for years, decades and decades and decades now, with the year 2021. It's more than the depth of the age of the country, but the latest cycle of this long trail of conflict actually goes back 100 years. right now think about this and you know the end of the american uh... you know uh... you know intervention world war one the idea was we were supposed to destroy our sovereignty surrender to the league of nations we were supposed to be brain stupid they were gonna hurt a bit into this will it didn't happen which frustrated the hell out of the enemy it's what was supposed to happen and why they make books disappear so you don't read too much about it but go if you if you do the here the history of the league of nations and how they want about what they want to do credit horrific global war to convince you to surrender your sovereignty didn't work had to wait twenty years and even then they're the target with the united states arrest the world got hit with a depression but the united states with the target just like the united states the american people are the target now And so the military is divided and has been at different times, but it pretty well always comes back to the same lines. Those who are common sense and typically those who are righteous versus those who are sadistic, wicked, and evil. And it's easy to spot. It's not hard. Once you've been around enough people, you can pick them out of a crowd and heartbeat, and they know it too. They do. They truly do. And that's the part that bothers them is that there's still more than enough of you. In fact, we outnumber them, but nobody wants to acknowledge it. Everybody wants to freeze because your enemy tells you it's feudal resist and you'll be absorbed. In the process of this division right now, both sides are right now husbanding their forces and husbanding their resources and going down the shopping list. The one part of the formula that tips the balance is logistics on our side. And I've said this a million times, guys, what do you think I've argued for, you know, buying all the ammunition you can? It's not just for you. If you understand the overall cause, there are people that you may not even know who will save your life. Now there's other people that will try to betray you. Get over it. Congratulations. Life's a bugger. And then you keep right on going. That's the nature of all of history. If you think somehow you're in some unique time and that people are totally different from what they were 500 years ago, 1,000 years ago, 2,000 years ago, then you better pull your head out of your arse. We have the same wonderful cornucopia of Twilight Zone that they've always had on this planet. And the bad part is that at certain points, because good people don't step up, we get to where we are right now. in the process what actually was the kicker is in the first book i cannot ruining it but i'm gonna do it general okay a general synopsis here both sides have to talk to each other the military arm all know each other it's kind of like you know it's like you said when you're shooting someone on the other side you probably even know what their wife's name is think about that i mean that's going to happen if if the person chooses foolishly to actually go along with this global scrap but there's a bunch of people that they've actually been black by back they've been biting their time to jump and do to america what they're doing to america right now and we've been biting our time being patient and reasonable which is that a big mistake i've argued against for many many years now you know what reasonable getcha nothing You know what it does? It gives the enemy more time to entrench farther, to clearify more kids, to peddle more children, to get Biden in the White House. After they commit to a fake election that you all know, every one of you out there know, we should have put the brakes on immediately, but everybody's waiting for everybody else. Reasonable is what ends up with getting Waco. That's what reasonable is to the enemy for us. Well, if you, well, the idea is in the end, because after all, you let them retreat. See, like I said, we taught everybody that. You get them in front of you, you wipe their ass out. When they want to start talking about negotiating and falling back, kill every last one of them. Now, the thing about it is, right now, they're in negotiation, there are discussions, but here's what's going to happen, and it's always their side, because ours doesn't really know how to do this. And I'm serious, it's not, the idea is that there is always that. last grasp of hope even though it's in your the back of your mind that it's you know this is done and this is the part everybody has a tough time to it with because there will be an agreement there will be a meeting and the betrayal will be to try and kill that well you gotta talk to the leadership on the on the the Patriots side you got to talk to you guys gotta come together and of course then the other side didn't show up right now you've read far enough in the book you remember the the news reporter right now with the news reporter who tried getting the cornel yet i was a funny story i like that and that's exactly what you could that the compression of the kind of things that that are constantly being done by the useful idiots they're working in in the vehicle between the always be somebody well we need to talk Well, you need to talk to them, but they want face to face. Oh, don't worry, this is the 21st century. We can talk with computers. We don't need to get close up right now. You see, that's the other problem that they've got, is the technology has stepped so far forward that I know what their argument be. Well, we can't talk together on the technology, because those other people would listen in. Those other people being actually the allies of the people who are trying to set you up. Okay? but the argument would be that you have to physically be there will the physically be there than they can physically kill you don't mean they can't kill you anywhere else they can but remember the farther that they are away from their power base and or their area of activities as in the center of their buildings their fortresses whatever the the deal though of the hidey-holes of the uh... council on formulations chambers the moment they step away from that with every foot they step farther away from it they're just as vulnerable anybody else and that the other part that they do understand is that many many many people are waiting for the opportunity for this to be a pit for cat battle axe game you know a dagger war the dagger war is something they're terrified of because they always put in the movies guide how many movies if you think where you don't know what's going on and the guys putting coffee on a table and there's a bunch of other people in the house i've got i'm compressing this to fifty thousand things that the jewish one mom mom movie industry have done and all of a sudden the guys come in and talk to and they're killing everybody and they're cutting you just nobody knows what to do and everybody just as like panic and all i never expected this and pop pop pop and they're all by and they become pop-up targets Well, how about if the world is very different? How about if everybody is watching for and waiting for and hunting for that? And that's where we are right now. I've said this a million times, you hunt them harder than they think they're hunting you, and everyone that you find and everyone that you see and everyone you can identify is on the list as we go, even if you only just see them casually, because, you know, following you, observing, spy rats, whatever. But the fact is that because it's not you're not going to see us doing it ambush of the other side in a pre-war conflict a pre-war environment pre-war environment like we are right now if we were smart we would but you know what because everybody always says we can't throw the first blow well then that's where you create conditions where it's so impossible to determine that you just automatically assume the enemy had to uh... and i'll give you an example how the american war for independence started lexington Lexington, not Concord, Lexington. Who fired the first shot at Lexington, people? Supposedly nobody knows. Nobody knows! I'm gonna tell you like I've said a million times, I believe it's accurate. There's one spring morning, there's one movie, and you got the old Scotsman off to the side. I think it was a veteran who was just like that. A lot of the people right now are saying, and I'm telling you right now myself, said, piss on this, we can't do, we can't dance around this anymore. Let's just get this done. And so somebody pulled the trigger, somebody. Well, why not us? Well, because then it wouldn't be right. Yes, it's right. The list of grievances are so long right now that yes, it's right for us to go to war right now. The list of grievances for the American patriots of 1775 stretch back before 1765. That term you see in those written documents, a long train of abuses. The enemy knew, like an amoeba, how to keep coming back because they wanted to crack that nut so they could destroy the sovereignty of the colonies. They had limited sovereignty. And the same is true now at the end of this cycle of the American epic, where they're trying to get you to sell your birthright for a bowl of beans. Your birthright is the idea that you could stand there and say, I own myself. You don't own me. We still say that even with all the conditioning, and even with the idiot sticks, half of them would say that, and then parrot 90% of the Communist Manifesto. But there's still that vein in there that if properly tweaked pushes people in the right direction. Now they've tweaked it for 20 years to get us into this BS over in the Middle East. I guess that's in the two hour block and I've said this a million times on the air. They hoisted a Chinese made plastic flag. Why? Because they only wanted that patriotism around for so long and eventually the individual stripes separate, the color fades to pink on the red, the blue turns to a pale shade, the stars actually eat out because they just fall apart because there's no IR protection, and there's a bunch of holes where the stars are. and eventually the flag is a tatter on the pole and eventually given long enough if you're not paying attention it literally fitters away in the wind and that's exactly what you just saw with a 20-year cycle of this bullshit in Afghanistan and the Middle East. That's why it's a Chinese-made flag with shallow, hallow, you know, shallow hell slash hollow patriotism. I'm gonna go kill Afghanistan's cause Afghanistanians. Why? Well, because somebody told us, well first of all he told us we had to kill Iraqis. We've got to kill Aracostanians. They didn't have anything to do with it. We've got to kill Aracostanians. They've got to kill Aracostanians. They've got to kill Aracostanians. Raw, raw, raw, wrap yourself in that Chinese-American flag. Raw! and the football teams and the football games, oh, they had the Star Spangled Banner with the Marine Corps Band and they had banners waving in the football games and all the gladiatorial sports and then year after year they changed that in the last three, four years. They completely shredded that, didn't they, people? Well, they originally told us that we were going in there because of Osama bin Weyland, didn't they? Yeah. And a whole list of other things that were live. But when we were done, what happened in the last four years, step by step? Right now, we've gone from, Rob, you're all gonna be an American, okay, in the gladiatorial arenas called Fool's Ball. We went full circle to, you gotta apologize for being American, you gotta apologize and get down on one knee and get down on your belly. We could kill all the white people, hate all America, kill all the white people. That's the football games now. And you know what? Here's what we give you a little hint about something. The same people that BSed you in the beginning and owned the football teams are the same people who are now wanting you dead and run the football teams. But don't you dare. But don't you dare burn a P.L.M. flag. You'll get five months in prison for that. Yeah, well, I'll burn a... Don't worry about the flag. I'll burn who's holding it. Guess what? Hold still. This is gonna hurt a lot. Ahhh! There you go. See, my point is that, again, the premise for where we are in the situation, there's so many overlapping components, because it's not small scale. That's one of the things that understand about, you've read it, how far are you into the book? Halfway? A little over halfway. Okay, now, it's book two, book one is, of course, where it gets started. But one of the things that I have to do is the idea is to make it personal. because it's your individual experience and how you experience, what each person has experience. If we can give it to you, then it allows you to correct things, because you'll notice not everything went right in any of those chapters, right? Yeah, almost nothing went right. Is it perfect? Is the world perfect? No. No, no, no. That's the problem with why I said a million times, plans within plans within plans. You have a plan to replace the plan. and then you better be ready to make a decision. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. Somebody's in charge, somebody make a decision. That person doesn't make a decision, smack him side to head. If he freezes up, you don't have time to even think about it. Maybe it happens simply because you don't know something wrong with a man. But the bottom line is, is that lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. You've got to make a decision. You have to stay mobile. That's a helicopter scene and we were soldiers when he did that thing. Your commander's dead. What do you do? Remember, first they hesitated. Boom, you're dead. Not what do you do. Two of them are dead. Get off the helicopter. And again, as he pointed out, this is how I work. This is the school that I came from. Learn everybody else's job. You don't know who's going to be standing in 15 minutes. And that's why I said before, guys, when you master the trade, you need to be, and this is a term that is real, you need to be a generalist, not a general, a generalist. You need to absorb as much as you can right now. In every arena you possibly can. Maybe it all won't stick. But understand it, and then you can, you'll eventually be able to adapt it to your plan. understand how mortars work, understand how anti-tank weapons work, understand how air defense works, understand how air support works, and how the, and again, it has to be the basics first because all of the gobbledygook tech wastes so much time. It's kind of like computers all years ago. We're all going to get computers, and are you going to hire a secretary for me? Well, you want everything recorded and you want everything down. Do you think that these people are doing all this work right now? Do you think that they're stenographer clerks? Well, what do you mean? I said, do they type? Well, no. So how many hours are you going to give them per day to enter the information that you want about their job? How can they do this? This is a question you ask stupid communists when they come up with their control freak ideas only because it puts them at a brain fart. They don't know what the hell to do. Well guys, all of this overlapping technology with other overlapping technology with other overlapping technology becomes a cluster screw. It becomes a clutter puck. Okay? Kiss, keep it simple, stupid. Sorte, move fast, move faster than they do. Make a decision, move faster, but also master the trade so that it's second nature for you to act when you act. In other words, all the things about cover, concealment, thermal protection, all of this is supposed to be second nature to your training, part of your training, repetitious training. What have you done about it? One thing I like about... Go ahead. One thing I like about the book I know that, you know, obviously the United Nations and the ATF and all them were the bad guys, but I like how you made some of them more relatable, or at the very least made them neutral in the sense that from the perspective of their chapter, they were the protagonist and you didn't necessarily root for them, but you were, you know, it was from their perspective of how they were trying to do what they needed to do. So, you know, kind of like whenever the one guy got out of the lead BTR when they got ambushed and was trying to drag his men to the house to save the men, you know, obviously if you're a militia, you'd kill them all. But it's interesting from his perspective to see how he was trying to, you know, get out of the convoy, you know, out of the ambush. It's kind of interesting how you kind of showed all that. I like that perspective. Well, again, this is the basic rule of juxtapositioning. And you eventually, well, again, read enough and you'll see, the idea is you get the compression. The idea I wanted was the overview, but compressing it and taking your mind to a single person. And then when you come out the other side of that, you have the perspective from yet another angle where you, where you, where if you'll notice, I integrated that other character. In other words, you know, the guy by the truck, okay, you've gotten to the ambush, right? Yeah. The driver and the truck, remember? Yeah. How far did he go? But if you, if you, if you, as you read, go back through and you'll see how he's integrated and other into, each one of these is integrated as a thread so that they're interwoven. Each one is redescribed from the perspective of the other component. The tank, the stripper units are coming in. OK, the follow-up unit coming in. Everything's there, OK, because they see everything. They're the ones who come through and strip the enemy dead, save the equipment that's on fire before it burns, before the munitions are burned out, whatever. See, this is the part that nobody, you don't ever see anything in the movie, they don't want you to think this way. Things magically disappear, you pull them out of your ass like you do a video game. I've got a Barrett M82! Where the hell did that come from? I saw the picture a minute ago. You were carrying a Beretta Model 92, weren't you? Yeah, but I've got a Barrett. I pulled it out of my ass. It weighs 70 pounds. And magically have enough support equipment to be able to use it. And it's a miracle I can keep shooting it. And that's almost as bad as the Hollywood 6 gun that fires 72 shots. But the fact of the matter is that this is the other problem with travel and time is again, throw weight. And that's why I can't emphasize enough. There's a difference between a rate, see, this is another thing when you ever see people yapping about, you know, oh, I wouldn't carry this or I don't carry that. You wouldn't carry that under certain conditions. But this is where you have to have flexibility because if you're going to project strength, you have to bring the strength of support with you. and your basics must always be there. I know most everybody I've had this at several times about like eTools. Guys, the entrenching tool is the single most universal useful tool you could possibly drag along. Between a machete with a sawback and an eTool, there's nothing you really can't do. Nice to have a pickaxe, but most of your folding shovels do have that if they're the older style. But the fact of the matter is you can live with it no matter what. You've got something to work with. And it's a tool. Tools, when you get them forward, you can always drop them. Munitions, spare equipment, spare batteries, backpack you're carrying. You're carrying a deployment bag going in, but you're going to drop it the moment you make contact. If you make premature contact from the plan, Then that backpack's dropping right wherever you are. In fact, ideally, you don't want to leave a supply cache for the enemies. You're going to try and do something to coordinate that with your team. But if you made direct contact and you were in what is basically travel mode, then you shell, you shuck all of that extra gear, and you go into fight or flight mode. You've got to figure out what your situation is. That's why your NCOs and your officers need to be squared away. They need to be able to make decisions, and they have to be decisive in the process. But part of that part of that is still it comes down to f o p standard operating procedure so all of you need to team op and work better together your enemies terrified of this and one of the other things i'd point out if you pay attention that five-man fire team and ten-man squad are what you need to understand within your own here if you understand that if you guys put five men together and then put another five men together and you keep doing that you can always break down and build a squad fire teams of squad can be from four different walks of life four different well squad in a platoon it doesn't make any difference because the platoon commander's job is purely to orchestrate the four fingers that he has look bomb the commander only needs to tell first squad second squad third squad fourth squad what their objective is now that be some quick management of first-class support second squad third spot squad support for the quad But if the 4th squad is a Colonial Marine Unit and the 2nd squad is a Militia Large Unit and the other 2 squads were organized somewhere else, I'm not going to micromanage and say, Hi guys, how you doing? Yeah, I know you trained real hard, but throw that shit all out the window. I got a real great idea here. No, that's not how you do it. Are you 10 men copacetic? Yes or no, Sergeant. Yeah, they all know what they're doing. We've been training for a long time. You sure? Because it's your responsibility, not mine. Your job is to get that fire maneuver element going and that's you. Next, second squad, next, third squad, next, fourth squad. Everybody understand? Everybody on the same page. Now within that squad, however they trained, doesn't make a damn better difference than squad number two because each squad is going to move as it's trained to, but the basic goal is still the same. So it's not relevant that you would change up or try to alter the construction. That micromanaging will get you killed because you're going to give cross orders to people who are trained already and don't need to be changed. Where the where the where the rubber meets the road it's that that platoon leader that's going to make the difference as long as that platoon leader understands the you know the issues before him and Understands how to properly employ for fighting squads Then how each of those squads individually operates is irrelevant? As long as it gets from point a to point B within those two or three fire teams that make up either a marine type or or an army type formation. The only variance may be that you might have to tack two more people on because we go 10 rather than eight. Eight's the shortened army slash short manpower squad and that's not, that doesn't work for me. Five on five for a reason. However, I'm also not going to do this. You're going to go eight? Okay, well that's your squad. This squad here, that squad there. If I were bringing everybody together right now at this moment, I would not change that squad. They're not going to get two additional people attached to them who may be confused. because my mission right now is to as quickly as possible adjust and focus force against an aggressor and remember kiss keep it simple stupid it's that simple minimize to maximize and result focus firepower go ahead For somebody who would be going in, who was not ex-military, and had no involvement with the militia physically until the start of the war, how long would it take or how hard would it be for them to assume some kind of an NCO role from scratch, but be able to competently fill the role? Well, it would depend... Well, first of all, the old story, OJT makes up for everything, on-the-job training, as they say, but... attrition may be enough, may be enough. It's hoped that you're going to be able to maintain a copacetic formation for a period of time and integrate your personnel. The buddy system is going to have to work with an experienced, inexperienced teammate within a squad if you expand and build up, say, two or three squads from a handful of squads that you had available. That individual, usually, the basic math formula was 23 engagements. Now, this sounds weird. That number pops up a lot. But it's interesting if you read 999 Survived, and that's the name of the book, 999 Survived. There's another one out there. Well, actually, it's a white paper that was done by the Department of Defense, and it has to do with basic survivability on the battlefield and this includes attrition but it also includes fatigue issues all the other stuff is integrated into this if a man could survive anywhere from sixteen to twenty three contacts typically they were going to survive to see the end of the conflict That sounds weird, but there is a math formula that they kind of came up with, and what it's based on is progressive experience. It's one of the arguments for not giving an inexperienced soldier an automatic rifle, an automatic weapon. That from the get-go, you force them to focus on the basics they've been instructed to use, and you put them in a physical condition to make them rifleman because you're you've had to do the short ojt uh... basic training or or if you're lucky you're going to take these new recruits near to put up three there are three week minute man program or a five-week arvin program and i've talked about this before a three-week basic program uh... is where you cram everything all of the basic you know infantry skills into a non-stop fourteen or fifteen hour day everything in the in over three week period now the u.s. military did it in five weeks on a regular basis in vietnam and while i know many people personally odd dead larson was my it was like uh... one of my executive officers that work for me when I was building up out for it. He was with First Special Forces and the second detachment to go into Vietnam. What did they do? Basic training. They were advisors. Their job, train everybody from Arvind to force popular to anybody else you could imagine. All of the people that he brought in were people from that sphere. These are the first SF people that ever went into Vietnam. And they would take everything we did in an 11-13 week BCT course like we used to do in the US military and compressed it into five weeks, but they got everything. However, they ran their ass into the ground. But the idea was that they were able to give them the same amount of training and the same amount of initial basic experience so that they would have something to work with and they were on the same common page. The other part of this is also building up Esprit de Corps, building up pride and performance pride in unit. And that comes with demonstrated performance, not just by the individual, but the whole group. Because when you're on the same page and you're all, you see the change in development, which you will, then you understand that you have, you know, you're motivated. You have the ability to actually change the course of the battle, but you have to focus. If you were a unit that was separate from any kind of a collection of units and the war is already ongoing, how likely would it be for that unit, maybe if a small one maybe formed a little bigger, to meet up with another unit and have its members go through a basic training? or what would be the point at which they've seen so much action that it would no longer be considered necessary or not to worry about it contact the only thing you might do is what's called the dump up or a uh... again a minute man program to bring them up to speed with a certain weapon systems that may not have had the opportunity you have to tailor that as a g as a g three or an f three training all training instructor your job is going to be to make sure that you have uh... you have established a series of packets and as groups come in you have to are you're going to have to evaluate you have a probably a series of support personnel are going to be with you on this because there's no sense of running people we'll retreading them whether it works it's not necessary So, depending upon the amount of time and what they've been doing in service, there may be a few things that you can assist them with, but you also may not want to change things. It's your story. If it's stupid and it works, then it's not stupid. Remember that one. That's a basic rule. If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid. So, one of the things that I've argued for the longest time and the enemy is terrified of, trust me, I was an intel analyst, okay? if they could get you all on the same page and all of you acting the same way you would be very predictable and easy to beat you know what the problem is you have four overlapping periods of war with a wide spectrum of individuals with a broad level of experience not only in combat but in life we are a holy terror if they have to fight us wrap your brains around some of the stuff that our people know how to do and understand we've handled nukes we've handled napalm we've handled artillery we built half the crap that they're using and the other half was already on the drawing board and we're the ones who made it happen. There's all the people out there that were the guinea pigs for the program. There isn't a weapon out there that we don't have the skill base to handle. There's nothing they have that we can't operate. We are the gold standard of the planet and guess what? We outnumber the military. Even those of you who've never been in the military, you have skills that you are going to bring to the table. And again, like I said, sorry, if you're in certain trade bases, I'll stake an enemy on a rope for you. I'll duct tape a dysfunctional weapon to his hands. I'll take you out and you can shoot his ass and you can feel good about it, but I'm not going to risk you if you have a skill or trade that is so valuable that you are priceless to my effort. That's the only thing that is a demarcation where there's a demarcation here where it's like, yeah, well, I want to fight. They killed my fill in the blank. You want to help me kill more of them? Well, yeah. Well, you said you did this when you were in the civilian sector. Yeah, it was pretty good at it. Oh, guess what? You'll do me more good and you'll kill more of them if you do this for me than if you go out there and play infantry. I'll let you shoot them. I'll drag them out myself. I'll bring one of them right up to you. More brains out. But if you can help kill my enemy with greater reckless abandon and with greater accuracy and performance, then I do not want to waste you as an infantryman. See how that works? This is where you have to be a judge of so many different elements. How valuable is the trade or the skill that that person has? This is why you have to screen people coming in. Now, depending on the situation, everybody's going to be fighting anyway. In fact, I don't care what skill you are, you're all going to be infantry first. I don't care what you do. You're all going to be infantry first. I understand that policy because you do not know when you will be set upon by these accursed pieces of trash. And if you fight, you fight whole. You put everything into the fight you can. You do not let the enemy escape. Let nothing but a rumor of their destruction return to where they came from. that effect that actually touched on several times in the book not everybody is front line infantry about in any of the book series many of them or people who were also trying to avoid you know the conflict trying to prevent the conflict from happening all the other the man who's carrying the who actually saved the flag if you understand you've read book to your book one i don't think i've got all that but i should think i'm not a pretty more ok but you'll understand something there's a symbol that is another thread through the whole series and the symbol goes back to the initial betrayal when again behind the scenes like i said right now behind the scenes everybody's picking sides you're either a or b there's no c there's no neutral in this right now in this government in this country you were either a red and yellow communist hardcore Fabian socialist soviet socialist member we'll take a pic whichever faction you're with because uh... you know we have a bunch of Fabian's or your american patriot but there isn't any in between there is no half or partial shade of anything you're either air be that is it their gray is gone And that's the conflict right now taking place in the military. Yes, they are talking about a coup. Yes, they are talking about fighting amongst themselves. Yes, they know who's who in the zoo. And they, and again, whole commands right now are gearing for conflict on American soil. It's already there. The writing's on the wall. There's too much stuff that's a clear indicator. And a lot of people that I know, like I said, people that they should be retired, they won't retire now. they can't they can afford to if they're the right place and they are then as this kicks in all those people are going to do their job the enemy is got a problem and again it's the foundation base because i'm not going to go fight for the global new world order piss on a foreign war and go stuff it up their ass about a little the communists now there's a whole bunch of americans all feel the same way and they've all especially with his overlapping betrayals this corona beer virus garbage All of that has created an AB group, and most everybody that we want has made the right decision. The ones that made the wrong decision we never wanted in the first place. That's part of what I've said for months now, that this litmus has been priceless. There are things that have happened that the enemy, it's a booby prize that they should get. because it has opened so many eyes, the scales have dropped from people's eyes in so many ways. This event they just created doesn't have people outraged about, well, we're going to go back to Afghanistan. No, just the reverse. It's like, well, yeah, we were going to leave, but doing something like this, this is intentional. Anybody in uniform knows there was no bumbling, there was no accident. This was all intentional. and they may not make a comment if they're in uniform and they're getting paid right now. And you want to know why? Because they want to try to get to retirement. Then they don't ask the AO and leave so quick, and make your head spin. But right now, they're putting up with it. If this goes to conflict, they won't put up with it. I know exactly what will happen. You'll hear a bunch of gunshots down the hall. That'll be that pistol being pulled out of a quiet pocket, go right to the side of the head of the commie standing next to you. Boom! and very quickly there'll be a whole bunch of red and yellows dead now the other side figures that we're red terrorist camp they're going to do the same effect that's again how things will probably get started do you see that happening at the cap shop well yeah i well in some some police department are completely in line with you know i i i don't tell me i don't know i'm first rule you don't tell any of anything Smile, wave, and wait to see when they, if they shoot, who they're supposed to shoot. If not, better make the uniform disappear. If you're still wearing that uniform, you're in the enemy's camp. This is, this is not going to be a casual, this is going to be just like the, just like the significant rip. This, this spontaneous, off-the-wall burp that was this whole thing with betraying Afghanistan. Let me ask any of you a year ago, is this what you foresaw? Is this the image that was in all your minds when they were talking about leaving Afghanistan? Is it? Anybody? Am I jogging your memory out there? How are you picturing this? Well, we're going to slide out and we're going to, you know, still have an advisory and command structure there and we'll help to keep them bolstered. Let me point something out. And it's in the book, too, several times about morale, okay, and how morale gets broken. Guys, I told you this during the 2R block. When did they start destroying equipment? When did the American military they even finally said it they told you they told you they told you weeks ago Months ago. They were destroying equipment that the Afghan army would need to fight the war When they just left and they left them like you're in good hands with all state one minute It's like yeah, Bob and a book and new do I'll be right here with you to the very end I promise I'll be right here to the what? Oh, baba, babooka, I'll be right back in a few minutes. And bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, and in the Humvee, over to the airport, in the plane, gone. Oh, by the way, before they left, they sabotaged the Humvee. They busted up all of the equipment. They opened up all the freezers and destroyed all the food that you'd need to be able to maintain your fighting force. They did this before the Afghan army fell. Why do you think the Afghan army fell? Why would you continue to fight? Let me ask you, your allies who shoved you into a uniform, yeah, until the sun, as long as the sun shines and the rivers flow, we'll be there to make sure you guys are taken care of. Yeah, yeah. And all of a sudden, in one night, whole damn airport's empty and they destroyed all the food that you'd need, and they destroyed all the equipment and carried away everything that you'd need in order for you to continue to fight. So guess why morale went to hell up on the front line? Why did morale go to hell on the front line with the Afghan army? Because the pentagram did exactly what we said 20 years ago they'd do to the Afghan army. They betrayed them. Hey, Mark. Go ahead, Golar. Go over there. Will it get before and right to during the war? Like, we know that they're gonna do the mandatory shot. but will the war start before or when they make it to where you basically can't work without it? I don't think we need to... let me ask you, stop right there, let's stop. I know that that's possible, but somebody's going to shoot their ass before that. I'm serious, I mean, my attitude on that is, you know, you can just stop it. Whoever the idiot stick is who starts to shove that stuff, that'll be the end of them. and I across the board because everybody knows what's going on with the murder death kill shots now whether or not they have tried to they've shut their brains off for their own pros act again this is the a b thing there's not going to be any coming together how let me ask you this are you do you want to come together with some jackass who says who sold neurotic is is a neurotic hypochondriac with paranoid tendencies with bug eyes that's profit them out that screeches that doesn't sound like they have any intelligent process between the years whatsoever and they're telling you what to do and they're screaming that they're going to get these guys to shoot you if you don't. Well, is there any coming to you after they do that? Let me ask all of you, would you in any way, shape or form, how are you going to come back together with that person? The end of my bayonet. Yeah, that's the only way. You're going to shoot their ass. There's nothing there's no how can this country proceed or exist under those conditions? It won't it's done The goose is cooked if they want to proceed with that all well and good Because we do need to get this over with but the Karen are going to win okay the Karen the Karen factor is under the idea that somehow we just want to keep chugging along with the BS I'm running to anybody everybody's fight fed up with this garbage on a massive scale nobody wants to have anything to do with this and the few that do are this pitiful bunch over there I ran into like I said all today I saw another double mask where you know the other day we thought it one of the grocery stores and panic like a sort of shared what it was a female and she's probably my age a little older i think and she's walking out she freezes as soon as people are coming through the door and she brings her arms right up to her side up to her up to her breasts like a and she stands there and wait for everybody to pass and then she proceeds you know in her fear wall arrest the stars like that now there's still idiots text about their children with face brows on those pools I don't know how long that's going to last once you get rid of the rest of the problem, which is shooting their ass out of our country. Not the ones, the kids, or even the mom. How long is that going to last? It's like, you know what? You're a buffoon. Get the mask off your face and your kids. Time to breathe. So it's inevitable that conflict take place, but there's also no coming together. Who is it? Who do you want to have? Who of that group do you want to have anything to do with? They're about as low as a day as long, dumb as a box of rocks, and generally dangerous because whatever frivolous BS some parasite out of DC puts between their ears, they just need to sea-line along with. You know? Well, guess what? Name would be... I don't think they're with you either. I don't think you plan on settling with them. Anyway, good question. We got a whole bunch of work to do. Organize armor, quip, and train as militia. Establish a 5-10 program in your area of operation. God bless the Republic. Guess what? The new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march. Stay a knight. And again, guys, you may not have any decision per se in how this starts because if there is a conflict between the internal forces and somebody does finally betray the other by the murder of them... Then all bets are off and the game is on and it will be a genuine conflict right from the get-go. It will be very quickly determined. You'll be easily understood and identified. Let's put it that way. We're on the edge of that. We are on a very, very close edge of that. Anyway, for all of you out there, you stay focused. Pay attention. You are the solution. Ed taking over. More LTR coming up. We'll be back tomorrow at the same time. God bless. Stay strong. Something
