Episode Date: February 22, 2024

We talk for a few about the elements of combat power, how it's built, and what elements each military or group would need. Then we talk about Shomer Tec gear that I'm currently deploying and using. www.shomer-tec.com

Welcome to the Gunmetal Armory. Here's your host, Dane D. we will have a Draven Rock Homestead episode coming up soon just to update everybody and kind of let you guys know what's going on we have gotten some new audio equipment that is going to be helpful in recording shows for you guys and actually putting out a putting out a better product and most of the time when I come home from work, that's when I do my little quick podcast, uh, for you guys to kind of give you a quick shot of information and, um, you know, basically as much Intel as I can in a short amount of time. Um, generally that, you know, provides me with a little bit of something to kind of help you guys out. Okay.

So, um, a couple of things I want to tell you in the fiscal year of, uh, 2024 so far. Okay. Um, if you don't know what fiscal year is, just look it up. But in the fiscal year of 2024 so far, we have seen no less than 20,000 Chinese nationals coming into the country. Okay. During fiscal year 2023, we saw something to the tune of 24,000 Chinese nationals. So they basically ramped it up to triple or quadruple the amount of Chinese nationals coming into this country. Okay.

So at this rate, we've got 20,000 from last year, 24,000 from last year, $24,000 from last year, okay? And if it keeps going at the rate it's going right now, okay, we're looking at roughly another $80,000 to $100,000. Probably more like $80,000 in this fiscal year, okay? what do you think a hundred thousand highly motivated people who hate america could do to it what do you guys think honestly tell me okay if you don't believe me just look up the numbers it's 100 true you need to be preparing for all kinds of crap to happen all around you okay if you don't think for a moment that people who hate America and want to see it fall

wouldn't attack it from the inside, you're out of your mind, okay? So, I hate to use the old moniker, but if you see something, say something, okay? And start preparing yourself, okay? Start carrying your weapon, a truck gun, a concealed weapon, you know, CCW, whatever, man. You don't know where this is going to happen and when this is going to happen. You need to be prepared for that, okay? The next thing I want to tell you guys about, and we will go over more stuff when it comes to the attacks that are going to be happening.

Not going to be happening. I have no idea what's going to happen. But the attacks that likely could happen on our soil, okay? You know, just judging by the people that are here and, you know, potentially why they're here, right? It doesn't make any sense any other way. This is not just illegal immigration. There's something else happening, guys. Something's coming.

I don't know what. I don't know what everybody can feel everybody knows something's coming so just pay attention all right the next thing i want to talk to you guys about is combat power in the elements of combat power these are war fighting functions and all of these war fighting functions are tied together by leadership okay the one thing leadership or what you might call an intrepid commander, right? James, good one. I don't know if you're going to hear this, but it's pretty funny if you do. Okay. So the elements of war fighting, the elements of combat power, all right. Leadership controls all of them. Those elements are intelligence, protection, command and control,

controls all of them. Those elements are intelligence, protection, command and control, sustainment, movement and maneuver, and fire support. They all come into play, okay? But the two that really have my brain going, um, what's up with that, man? Um, is the protection and sustainment, okay? One thing that, um, that my wife just reminded me of too is uh back to the chinese and the the people that are coming in here that want to actually harm america it is not just the southern border she just reminded me vermont and who knows where else there are coming in through the northern border as well even during the winter even in snowstorms it doesn't matter the northern border is freaking wide open right now, guys, because they don't think it could be penetrated. You remember when Hannibal penetrated

freaking Rome? Remember when Hannibal got across the Alps? He lost a whole bunch of people, but it didn't freaking matter because he was there. He was somewhere they didn't expect him to be, guys. Okay? Seriously, please start paying attention. Okay okay back to what i was saying the elements of combat power war fighting functions are you ready the two that have my eyes popped up are protection and sustainment the most important one in my opinion to keep any army fighting is sustainment okay whether it's a small militia or whether it's a small group, a mag or any kind of group of people that are all around you that want to help you and you all want to help each other, your little neighborhood watch, whatever it is, sustainment, okay?

You're going to have vehicles. You're going to have weaponry. You're going to have medical. You're going to have all these different things that need to be taken care of so sustainment let's talk about that for a second the sustainment warfighting function involves any related tasks and systems that provide support and services to ensure uh freedom of action extended operational reach and prolonged endurance okay sustainment includes tasks that are associated with things like related general engineering band support religious support imagine that religious support right health services support financial management human resources explosive ordinance disposal

field services supply transportation and transportation, and maintenance. Okay? If you think for a minute that you're going to fight a war without all those things, you're out of your mind. You need all of them. And some of them you may think, oh, what do I need health services support for? It's freaking medical. Trust me. You're going to need it. You know, what do I need, oh, I don't know, religious support for?

That's morale, guys. If your soldiers don't want to fight, they might as not well. They might as not well fight because they're not going to. You understand what I'm saying? Morale is everything. If you don't understand that, watch the Grantham video where he talks to those guys that have just come back from the Ukraine front lines. Okay? Watch any of those videos where soldiers from the Ukraine are saying like, we need to be relieved.

We can't keep doing this. Okay. Trust me. It's very important. The next thing, protection. Okay. Sustainment, being able to keep an army moving and fighting, whether like, again, it's a militia or it's a state guard or it's a mag or it's a neighborhood watch or whatever it is, be able to keep them moving and keep them sustained okay the next thing is protection okay the protection of the war fighting function or the war fighting or the elements of combat power right you're protecting the war fighting functions that involves the related tasks and systems that preserve the force so the commander can apply maximum combat power okay you've got to preserve that ability okay preserving the force includes

protecting personnel which would be combatant and non-combatant okay keep in mind any kind of group is always going to have combatants and non-combatants okay you're going to have guys that do maintenance on vehicles and you're going to have guys that drive those vehicles and shoot things up right makes sense you know you should have just seen my wife anyways um you're also going to have uh preserving the force i will also include things like physical assets information of the united states and multinational partners okay there are a lot of tasks that are included in protecting the warfighting function that would be safety survivability fratricide avoidance that is a big one guys making sure you don't hurt each other okay air and missile defense anti-terrorism counter-proliferation and consequence management

okay these are actions that are associated associated with uh chemical biological radiological nuclear and high yield explosive-yield explosive weapons, okay? It's a counter-proliferation, okay? Consequence management of all of these types of things, anything that can happen, right? Defensive information operations and force health protection, okay? How are you going to protect your force? You've got to have that in mind okay so keeping all this stuff in mind we also have the other side of things right we just talked about protection and sustainment

but we also have command and control we have intelligence we have movement and maneuver and we have one of my personal favorites fire support okay that was funny anyways so let's think about intelligence for a second okay the intelligence war fighting function that will involve uh tasks and systems that facilitate understanding of the enemy the weather civilian considerations terrain which again what is that met tc guys might as well be met tc right mission enemy terrain so on and so forth okay all right so um this thing that the uh the intelligence will actually include tasks that are associated with um obviously intelligence right uh surveillance reconnaissance things of that nature the intelligence war fighting function actually also combines a flexible and adjustable architecture

of procedures personnel organizations and equipment to provide commanders with relevant information and products related to an area's threat, civilian population, and environment. Keep in mind, whenever any type of military goes into an area, they need to know what they're dealing with. They need to know what the civilian considerations with. They need to know what the civilian considerations are. They need to know what the infrastructure is. They need to know all of these different things. It is absolutely imperative that you know this stuff first. What is that? It's an area study. Okay, guys, if you don't know what an area study is, check out Forward Observer. Look at his freaking, his videos online on how to do that if you want a really detailed way to know uh how to do an area study check out uh

forward observer.com you know he will actually take you guys through how to do all that stuff it's very very important that you have an area study for the place that you live and you get good at updating it okay um when i put together an area study for the place that you live and you get good at updating it okay when i put together an area study for my brother that when he was living down in phoenix i put it together so he was actually able to escape from phoenix six different routes okay i gave him six different routes to be able to get out of there. It is absolutely, absolutely imperative that you guys understand, excuse me, that this stuff is no joke and it's getting more and more of no joke. Okay. Um, lastly, I'd like to talk to you guys about one of my favorite companies real quick.

Shomer tech. Okay. Uh, S H O M E R T E C. Check Check them out, guys. I've been playing with their titanium lockpick set lately, and another thing that I've installed on all of my stuff that I wear outside when I go hunting, or whenever I'm doing any kind of rifle practice, or anything like that, almost all of my gear has their escape and evasion compass button on it, okay? They also make a fire starter button and a magnesium button. I have them all over my gear, guys. Any kind of BDUs or anything like that you have, you can sew them right in. It is so freaking useful, guys. I cannot tell you how useful this stuff is. Now, keep in mind that the compass button, you're going to need to remove it to use it, okay? That's something to keep in mind. You're going to need to remove it to use it, okay? So sew it on to something like a cargo pocket or something like that, right? So you can take it off and use it as needed, all right? The next thing

you want to keep in, well, I mean, pretty much all of them need to be removed to be used, but that's not a bad thing. That just makes it to where, okay, I need to know strategically where I'm going to put these things. Okay. So just keep that in mind when you get them. Okay. Go over to showmoretech.com, pick them up. You guys will definitely love it or showmore-tech.com, T-E-C. Okay. Another couple of things you guys can look at from them. Um, some of their fire sticks, those things are fricking amazing. And they have these food procurement kits. They're some of my favorite items. Okay. Uh, and the last thing I'll tell you to take a look at from them. Um, and of course I'll have more products to talk with you guys about with them. Um, the last product that I really, really like that they have is their tripwire system.

They have these trip alarms that you can buy at Showmore Tech that use a, I believe it's a 209 primer from a shotgun, like shotgun primers. Or some of them can actually use a cut-down shotgun shell, and they have like flash bangs and things like that that they can put in there but most of the ones that show more tech sells are great to use because all they need is a primer you pop a primer in there you set the trip wire across like your front door outside you know at your garden if you've got problems with pests or anything like that and bang you're good to go man like that thing's going to scare off the pest most likely or if you're out camping it's going to Like that thing's going to scare off the pest most likely. Or if you're out camping, it's going to give you plenty of time to know, hey, something's getting close to me

or someone is getting close to me, okay? So keep that stuff in mind, guys. Go check them out, shomer-tech.com. Have fun. I will see you guys next time as we go deeper inside the elements of combat power and warfighting functions of the gun metal armory.
