🇺🇸 New video on the Nuclear Disablement Team (NDT)—specialized teams designed to scour and eliminate WMD production infrastructure and aid in nuclear forensics after a fission or dirty bomb detonation. They were in the news last year for going into nuclear power plants with the 75th Ranger Regiment and Green Berets to train in shutting them down.

🇲🇽 New video that overviews the history of the Mexican Marine Corps, its current high-level structure, the nature of its cooperation with the United States, and how its role and reputation has evolved.
The structure and weaponry of the Mexican Marines from squad to battalion-level will be included in a Part 2 that'll probably come out on 17 Feb

Starting with the upcoming videos since that's what you're paying me for:
February 8 - An overview of the Mexican Marine Corps' history since independence (spoiler an American was its first commander) and how its role evolved to where it is today, with a focus on why it is perceived as one of the U.S.'s most trusted partners in Mexico. Organizationally the vi...

Bringing back the financial report graphic. In August 2020 when I rebooted the channel with the first Ranger video I decided I wanted to be transparent with finances. I think I was inspired by some Kickstarter campaigns that released what they spent money on and such. Back then I did them monthly, but revenue streams and expenses got complicated enough to track that now I only really account fo...

🇺🇸 New video on how the U.S. Marines redesigned their Marine Division and doctrine to tackle the challenges of nuclear warfare; choices that have pretty much carried over to the modern day in many cases.
This is what I've been working on for the past month, as it's basically 2-4 times longer than a usual video. Wasn't feeling too happy in terms of creative fulfillment from the short...

New video on why German tank troops started wearing pink as their branch color. It's currently awaiting review because it got demonetized. (Edit: It got remonetized)
This is a shorter video to tide you over because the Mexican Marines video isn't done yet

The video on Mexican Marines is taking a lot longer than usual because it's pretty long (as written currently it might end up being over 45 minutes). I also just found a Mexican Marine to ask questions so I've been adding and editing things in the script, but here are some screenshots of works in progress for it.

New script that summarizes the entire history of the Mexican Naval Infantry (Marines), how they've evolved in role, why they're commonly perceived as a trusted spearhead in the fight against the cartels now, how they've been influenced by the United States, and the organization from the fire team to national level (with a focus on their regular Infantry Battalions).
I've already put as mu...

New video on the U.S. Army's old LARC-LX / BARC, a huge 4x4 amphibious truck and ship-to-shore connector that aided in maritime logistics operations. The video covers the specifications of the LARC-LX, its limitations, unit-level capabilities, unit organization, and its service history in the U.S. Army (particularly in the 1950s and during Vietnam) and the Republic of China.

Hi everyone, here is an update about content plans in October.
The thing I'm currently working on is a video about the LARC-LX (BARC), a very large amphibious barge-truck sort of thing that was used as a ship-to-shore connector by the U.S. Army and Republic of China Army/Marine Corps. It was comparable in c...
