The Basic School: Where Marine Corps Officers are Built

Video Description

The 10th proudly upholds a legacy of service. Our founder, Vincent JR Kehoe, served in the 10th Mountain Division during WWII, inspiring him to recreate the 10th Lincolnshire. Over our 50+ year history, we have welcomed dozens of soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors into our ranks. In the past five years alone, two of our members have earned the esteemed title of Marine Corps Officer. After completing Officer Candidate School, newly commissioned Marine Corps Lieutenants attend the 6-8 month Basic School (TBS) to learn the skills required to become a Rifle Platoon Commander. Regardless of their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), all Marines are trained as riflemen, and all Marine Corps Officers are trained to lead as Rifle Platoon Commanders. 0:00 Intro, Reflecting on a past legacy 6:43 The Corps of the Future 9:25 Introduction to The Basic School 13:44 FEX0 14:47 Range Month 18:55 FEX1/R5 24:45 Platoon Culture 26:47 Double O Course 29:25 PEX 32:13 CSW FEX/CFT 34:32 O/D FEX 42:48 R15/R11 48:23 "Bring The Sawdust" 51:24 MotoFEX/EngineerFEX 54:01 MOUT/War & MCMAP 1:02:09 Conclusion, What's Next If you live in the North East and are interested in joining us, visit redcoat.org His Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Foot in America is a historically re-created infantry unit formed to portray the service of the British Army during the American War for Independence. Composed of three types of soldier, Grenadiers-typically larger men who are used as shock troops, a company of Light infantry, generally smaller, more agile men--capable of maneuvering in the dense wilderness to skirmish or flank the enemy, and a battalion company--a company of regular soldiers, capable of mass volleys and were the heart of the army and are trained in both Grenadier and Light Infantry tactics. We also have a company of Music, who provide music and commands to the army. Last but certainly not least, a Corps of Civilian Volunteers--who provide food to the regiment during encampments and accurately portray civilian and camp life of the 18th century. Each is open for recruitment. The members of the Tenth are accurately uniformed, equipped, and trained in 18th-century military drill and life so that we appear in public as members of the British Army would have in 1775.
