Update + Graphics: TF Papa Bear (Desert Storm) & USSR Naval Infantry (Patreon)
Content
Hi all, I've just returned from the U.S. (where I was celebrating my wedding) and will return to regular posting soon. My November vacation is why I posted 5 videos in October (including one Patron-only) as opposed to my normal 2 or 3. The next video will likely be an 80-year evolution of U.S. Army Ranger squads with input from Ranger veterans. Thank you for your patience!
In the meantime, I was commissioned to do a few graphics, possibly for publication in a military journal (we'll see though). One is of Task Force Papa Bear, based on the U.S. 1st Marine Regiment during Desert Storm which was one of the 1st Marine Division's two mechanized regimental task forces. One thing most public sources online miss out on is how the sustainment was organized and I've included that.
The other one is on Soviet Naval Infantry Brigades and Battalion Landing Groups from the same era. I believe the article these would go in is about amphibious warfare. The brigade one is a rework of the one I did last month including approximate figures for combat equipment.
