Amateur photos of US Army soldier from Afghanistan

“My name is Dan, and I’m in Afghanistan right now, with a lot of scouts here, we’re all in Southern Afghanistan. My wife is also here in the country, but in a different place. Most of the photos are from my last deployment (10th Mountain Pathfinders , F-Co, 2-10AVN). Our mission is mainly a search and rescue goal. Our mission is carried out in the worst weather conditions you can imagine. But the weather and the terrain do not prevent us from damn communication with each other. day, take a picture and all that. Postscript. My wife Erica, I loved I miss you and I miss you! Postpoststriptum. Stephen, lying down to take the rest! "

Family run, however. In the first and last photo, I drew attention to wire containers under the sand to create fortifications, we have sand bags, they have a special container. It seems like a trifle, but also money is needed to make, then to deliver specially.

Note that these mesh structures allow you to build fortifications from the base material. The mesh reinforces the material so that it works like a monolithic block. It turns out the wall of a given value. In other photos it can be seen that from these elements they construct not only the walls, but also the bases of the fortifications.
This practice eliminates the need for concrete blocks in hard-to-reach areas.
..................
Our practice of using bags is cheap and cheerful, technically inferior in all respects to such fortifications. But practically effective in place and time.

yeah, you will not tell me the inventory number of the bags? What designation do they have?
So it turns out - the bags that come across in the photo of CA and RA - "lay badly", and were not issued in the warehouse ... as well as concrete blocks and Co., from which checkpoints are made, etc. - "found" in a neighboring collective farm / construction site ... there is no "donor" nearby - suck your paw and dolby asphalt / rock ...
something like that.

Of course, inferior. Specialized containers. That is, money is dripping into someone’s pocket for them, and not bad. And the bags are almost free. Well, Russian businesses do not know how to do everything. National trait.
And in terms of functionality, I suppose, a bullet does not matter whether it stumbles upon a meter of soil in a container, or a meter in a bag. True, the bags can still be put not only "across", but "along", not a meter, but half a meter. But these are already particulars.

[iliq]

unfortunately, the Soviet and Russian army did not have and do not have bags. To verify this, you just need to see a photo of Afghanistan and Chechnya.
but the Americans and Co., oddly enough, have much more experience using bags - Korea, Vietnam, Iraq-91 - using standard bags at checkpoints and fortifications everywhere ...

only so if you buy every little thing for the army, it will be pulled for all sorts of bullshit. The Russian soldier has always been famous for his ingenuity and ability, and now such qualities are also needed in everyday life and in war

[iliq]

only in this way, if every little thing is bought for the army, it will be pulled for billions by all nonsense.

I'll tell you a little secret: in the Afghan war, the SA's "non-combat" losses from unsanitary conditions (dysentery and Co.) were an order of magnitude higher than combat losses! "saved" on matches - they got a sea of ​​chronically ill citizens aged 19-20 years ... and this is money for treatment, money for replacing those who are out of order, money for transport of sick and healthy ... like this, "saving" a couple of rubles for life of a soldier, paid off a couple of million for a "heroic fight" with the consequences.

heroic overcoming of difficulties created by oneself? it is so in our opinion!
garbage that a NATO "cube" (costing at least 20 bucks) in 2 meters thick holds everything and everyone - our 30 cm wall made of improvised material raises the morale of the wounded and killed ...

do not give out poverty and wretchedness as virtues - this is not even funny!

[Rider]

saved "on matches

hello uv opponent
I completely agree with you on this issue.
only (as far as I recall) a week ago you vehemently opposed the idea of ​​adopting TBMP and BMPT.
in particular, justifying it with high cost.

I'm glad that you are starting to change your mind

I just honestly did not understand the passage about unsanitary conditions and dristulinia
how can such a shelter help them?
in avgan rain is an extremely rare occurrence, and sitting in a dry trench is not so bad.

yeah yeah, and it all ended up with the TBMT being taken into service, it seems Kurganets.

but the Americans and Co., oddly enough, have much more experience using bags - Korea, Vietnam, Iraq-91 - using standard bags at checkpoints and fortifications everywhere ...

The forces of the international coalition, remaining in complete danger to Iraq and Afghanistan, are used for these purposes. Fortifications of Hesco Bastion. The creator of the company of the same name, former British miner Jim Helslden, proposed an idea that was both simple and witty, and not for the army, but for the construction of dams and dams. The fortifications with the not-so-good name Concertainer are durable steel wire ducts that are fastened along the ribs with a metal spiral.
A geotextile bag is placed inside each of the same shapes: during transportation, they are simply folded in the manner of IKEA furniture, and at the construction site they are laid out, leveled into the walls and covered with sand using an excavator. Military engineers are able to erect Concertainer ten times faster than the same size of reinforcement from sandbags, and with fewer personnel needed for work. The wall is strong enough to easily withstand a shot from an RPG.

[Ascetic]

Well, I dig a couple of videos on this issue ...

[Ascetic]

This time, too, I won’t betray myself, and as always I will present the Russian analogue -gabions "Redoubt"
This reinforcement is a prefabricated prefabricated structure in the form of containers of fabric (or artificial) materials reinforced with a welded galvanized (or with polymer powder spraying) metal network. "Redoubt" is intended for the rapid deployment of temporary pre-fabricated fortifications in areas of emergency situations of a natural and man-made nature, for flood protection, the construction of dams, artificial barriers to prevent the spread of water and fire (including during forest fires), the construction of temporary field shelters (fortifications ) used both in peacetime and in wartime (equipment of the perimeter of field camps, arrangement of checkpoints, roadblocks, observation towers), including during anti-terrorist measures, to strengthen embankments, roads and railways, river and sea shore protection, landscape works, stabilization of soil erosion and soil conservation. “Redoubt” can be delivered to the deployment site by any means of transport, including air. Deployment according to a given six-section fortification scheme takes only five to ten minutes, depending on the terrain, as well as on the size and preparedness of the personnel. Expanded reinforcement can be filled with any kind of soil (sand, earth, stones), seized directly at the installation site.

Cheap and cheerful. They can replace not only sandbags but also concrete blocks. And the main base can be fenced off in a clean field. And not some manual labor B.S. !!!

[Rider]

And the main base can be fenced in the open field backside. And not what manual labor B.S. !!!

I certainly don’t mind, but I was simply pinned - in each company by an excavator or MKSMke.

Of course you don’t get angry, but you will have to fill it with the handlers.
since the special equipment is either under repair, or at the general’s dacha, or (WHAT IS MOST PROBABLY) IT DOESN'T GROW AS A STATUS UNIT.
God forbid that such a thing in parts appeared, it’s better to freeze in a trench filled with mud and water.
however, there is still the problem of dugouts, and the mortar safety of this shelter.

Well, you went to the Army to serve under a contract, and tomorrow the Motherland will decide that you need to show your strength somewhere and you will be sent to fight for your homeland. But if you refuse to sit for 12 years, then I'll look at you how you will reason. Maybe they will call the homeland to defend, but when the military went to the USSR as "specialists" in all sorts of countries in the world and also died? And they also defended their homeland in Africa and they also probably knew when they went to work in the USSR Army that they could send far beyond the borders of the USSR to "defend" their homeland.

Dear, do not confuse the warm with the soft.

And how is the ideology of the USSR to plant communism different from the USA to plant democracy? That is, when the USSR was a sphere power and imposed communism also at gunpoint, this is normal. And when the US enforces democracy is it your crime? You are cunning sir. If the USSR had not collapsed, and America had collapsed, now the USSR would deliver its communism to countries in need. And the fact that the United States remained the only sphere power is not a US problem.

and here you do not see the difference in the methods, the USSR - INVESTED in the countries that wanted to "otsociolizdit"
and the Yankees are pumping current
Now whose oil companies are working in Iraq and Libya?

If the USSR had not collapsed

you know. history has no subjunctive mood

BUT YOU ARE CERTAINLY SURE THAT THERE WOULD BE EVERYTHING AND WAS?
and to spread Iraq for the sake of oil, and to sow avgan with drugs?
and Gaddafi bang because that gold dinar wanted to introduce?

KSSO

KCCO is a modern slang acronym for 'Keep Calm, Chive On'.
KCCO is now a modern slang expression in the same way 'Hang Loose', 'Be Cool', 'Live and Let Live' were popular in decades past. KCCO is a youthful and modern way way to say 'don't stress too much about life, just enjoy it'
The original KCCO phrase came from World War II, when the British government would post propaganda posters of 'keep calm and carry on' to help boost citizen morale after air attacks on England's cities. The phrase has since been modified by The Chive.

do not remind, what non-combat losses the SA had in Afghanistan? well, so as not to whistle about "weather conditions";)

high morbidity is associated with a lack of clean drinking water, interruptions in the supply of new clothes, which created problems with washing uniforms, which are atypical for European Russia, where the majority of fighters came from, with infectious diseases. Due to a radical change in climate, almost all of the newcomers to the country after a certain time had symptoms of indigestion. Cases of dysentery, hepatitis and typhoid were frequent.

I guess I didn’t put it that way. In the end, the 21st century, the United States advertised itself as an ultramodern power, didn’t it be provided to these scouts with the necessary equipment? Sorry if that could be wrong.

Quote: Tony Tomahawk

haven't these scouts been provided with the necessary equipment?

when was the last time you went to the mountains halfway around the world? How can equipment adapt to other climatic conditions? there are all sorts of holiday-makers after a vacation in warm countries in 90% of cases they run to the doctors, they are treated for colds (for climate change) - and this is without any delights of war at the resort.

and the weather in the mountains - drops of 20-30 degrees per day ... and this is not in a warm bed, but at the exit. plus altitude changes, plus local diseases, plus "superinfrastructure" - what is it surprising that they consider the weather not the best?

"white people" (travelers, climbers) prepare for such conditions for almost years, they count their equipment by grams ...
something like that.

[Rider]

ek you shaved it
probably straight soul rejoices.

I almost agree with you
that's just ...
you yourself said that living conditions, even at outposts and blocks, are unlike ours.
it means that the problem with food and water is as good as it gets.
the heat also does not significantly affect the RPM there, it seems like they have a cooler and a refrigerator in each camp.
with medicine, too, it seems normal (at least the Yankees do not talk about non-combat losses)

so what do they have left of the "damaging" factors?

climate and highlands?
Well, yes, you can’t argue with the mountains, but the climate ...
You know, the USA is also a rather hot place.
Yes, and many of the Gee Ai are either Mexicans or Latinos from places where it is even hotter.

what else is there?

aaa
the Taliban are still shooting.
well damn this is a complete zapadlo on their part.

So what? "many" is how much? and where in America is there a climate similar to Afghanistan?

[Rider]

and you go from home-made food to breech, at once - and tell how it is;)

oh, and do not the Yankees boast of a wealth of army assortment?

but what about -

a soldier must endure the hardships and deprivations of military service.

oh that it's me, it's not that, and not about those.

yeah, you can see in the photo - they sit laughing all the time in the cooler

then they are deceived, about cozy campsites and these like them, aaa camps (well, type camp)
Look how, they are the whole period of a military mission.
Well, I will know.

so good!

Am I against it?
(soooo, then another lesser burden)

when did you go to the mountains for the last time? moreover, with a full calculation plus combat?

so, I don’t understand, they have an army or a boarding house for the weak?
seem heavy in the raid, this is an obligation, not an exception.
nothing extraordinary is observed in this.

Well, for fun, google the US climate zones.
you know there, not only the resort east and west coasts, there are quite diverse environmental conditions.
Texas Arkansas Arizona Utah is almost a semi-desert.
well and the latitude (hergraphically) of Mexico take an interest in leisure, I hope you do not confuse it with Siberia.

and cho, they do not tolerate?
they just don’t want to run around the rake, creating difficulties and hardships out of the blue and without special need ... some of them are not like that - they don’t understand why soldiers should eat rot and slop, if you can eat high-quality products!

I have not heard anything worthwhile about similar environmental conditions in Afghanistan to the United States ...

[Rider]

yes bigmak in Utah and in agan - a monstrous difference.

they just don’t want to run around the rake, creating difficulties and hardships for themselves out of the blue and without special needs ..

uh, I don’t understand, but what about "monstrous loads and extreme conditions"?
I don’t understand that it’s not in the cafe to go to the mountains with taxiways and yet somewhere I didn’t notice in the photo that they steadfastly and selflessly overcome something there.
there is a bivouac on the photo, a bonfire.

and a little lower - if you can eat quality products! but quality products in the US and Agan are different than what?
someone was talking about a change in nutrition.
oh yeah, dry out, this is not a lobster steak (or whatever)
hard, believe, believe.

but cheers in their statement about the harsh climatic conditions all find something ...

tady why whine about a difficult climate and overcoming something there.
would sit in California or Florida (there you might be interested in a mild climate) and wouldn’t have blown
aah I know - Motherland sent
DEMOCRACY DANGER!

I have not heard anything worthwhile about similar environmental conditions in Afghanistan to the United States ...

and you are interested
Well, just as a self-education.

[Mr. Truth]

I have a fairly strong impression on the American armed forces, in particular on their rank and file, from the miserable tens of thousands of military soldiers to hundreds of thousands of drones, most of them Egomaniacs who have problems with self-esteem, narcissism ... On the one hand, they are they save their civilians, if the US Armed Forces weren’t so massive, they would have fired at them much more often.

[misterwulf]

I liked their "checkpoints" very much :) Something like that happened here in Sevastopol during the Crimean War 160 years ago. A pit with a depth of 1-1,5 m and a length * nirin 10 * 5 m In front, the bags are thrown over. Saving a pancake, on mass graves! It didn't take long to bury. They left the corpses of the "roadblocks" in a hole (they had already dug them!). They threw sandbags on top and sprinkled them with soil (no need to hammer). Funeral procedure for half an hour

[pooop]

they love to pose so much, and demonstrate the body kit, "garlands" that do not bring any sense, it reminds me of a picture of a pubescent figure of eight in purple with "Sparco" dust covers ...

[Atrix]

Yes, damn people took pictures for themselves, in the Russian army there are few such photo albums?
That’s why you don’t pose? Or if you serve in the army you can’t take a photo? The scribe crap a man from head to toe what he took pictures and where their author finally found. The farther the more delusional topics began to appear here

[Ecuador]

our Boys are cooler. in its "body kit". and if they have this "kit", then there will be no equal.

[iliq]

and if more than 3 rounds of ammunition in 2 years of service would have been allowed to be shot, then there would have been animals!

[Rider]

Yes, you are not lucky with the service, I sympathize.

[Kalita]

On each barrel and optics, and grenade launcher ... We should go too.

[Tony tomahawk]

And where did you get the idea that we don’t have this? ;)

the problem of hitting targets behind the guns, technology, and at great distances has not been canceled.

especially since they are on their own, without technology.

etozh sowers of democracy.

although the "carriers of democracy" sounds like "carriers of a deadly virus"

I agree - to fall asleep with bleach, and dig deeper.

[Marconi41]

Do not say, but the soldiers of all armies are surprisingly similar in the battlefield. Look at the photo: Here they are in the mountains and are no longer so soft and fluffy, and the "lumps" are already shabby and faded. And if you tear off the chevrons (USA), then some of the photos painfully resemble our soldiers in the Chechen company. Although the equipment they have, of course ... more fashionable)))

[George]

I bring to your attention a photo of L. Snow. She carried out a project in which the faces of the fighters were captured before, during and after serving in Afghanistan. It is a pity our photographers did not guess to carry out such a project (although maybe someone will please):

Junior Lieutenant Adam Petch, 25 years.

[George]

Private Chris McGregor, 24 of the Year.
Etc.

[maniac]

Cho did you get to the pictures ?! Scroll through your demo albums. The same silly faces and engaged in dash than when photographing.

[Andrey77]

Plus a hundred. Take a look at your photo at 14 and 20 years old. Service has nothing to do with it; up to 30 years old, the appearance will change horseradish how many times. And demobilization albums - they did the same thing and fooled just as well.
