0:00:42 > 0:00:45..with a gunshot wound, have you seen it,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47you should actually virtually pull it through,
0:00:47 > 0:00:51with a piece of gauze or something? - If you're isolated and on your own,
0:00:51 > 0:00:55and there's no prospect of medical treatment for the next seven days,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and you've got a gunshot wound under those conditions and you're
0:00:58 > 0:01:01forced to go to ground and hide,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04then yes, if you can, you must get the junk out...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09..by any means possible.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12It doesn't matter what size the hole is, as long as there's
0:01:12 > 0:01:13oxygen circulating in the hole.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Providing of course, the bleeding has stopped.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21'Pray God the bleeding in the Falklands will never start again.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24'It was there that most of these young men first encountered
0:01:24 > 0:01:27'the shocking reality of war.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33'So too did Sergeant Commander Rick Jolly, who tended 750 wounded,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36'mostly Royal Marines and Paras, without a single death.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41'He lectures now to men pensive at the price that others paid.'
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- This is a guy injured at Ajax Bay.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50A piece of shrapnel has come past his leg
0:01:50 > 0:01:54and taken away quite a lot of the flesh and skin.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Some five days later, looking at this wound, it has an unusual appearance.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03It's sort of redder than real life. That's because healing has begun.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05This is what they call granulation tissue.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07This is Mother Nature's attempt to heal
0:02:08 > 0:02:09and he's doing extremely well indeed.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13It's a nice, fresh wound which the surgeon just scrapes up slightly
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and then, taking a graft of skin from the other side of the other leg,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19begins to cover up the wound.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22And look how nice it's looking now.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Another aspect, and it's an important one,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30which nobody ever thinks about in exercise, is burying your dead.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35OK? How often, when we've been in a commando unit or a company attack,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38you get up, you storm through the objective, and it's,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41ho-hum, one day to index?
0:02:41 > 0:02:47It's all been tactics and roll-on the weekend and a few pints.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49It's different in war because you actually end up with the dead.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Back at Ajax Bay, these are the dead from Goose Green.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57We stripped every one of those dead to make sure that we knew
0:02:57 > 0:02:59what they'd died of, because some of them
0:02:59 > 0:03:02were going to go back to England and the coroner would be involved.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Heartbreaking task, if you like,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09to stand there in the freezing cold and strip bodies
0:03:09 > 0:03:10and take bloodstained things
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and put them in bags and sign for them,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16and rings and fountain pens and photographs
0:03:16 > 0:03:18to send back to the relatives,
0:03:18 > 0:03:22but very important, because it also works out your own grief.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Anyone who says that brave men don't cry,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27or it's not a feature of a man to cry at war, absolute nonsense.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30If you feel like crying, you do it, OK?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Because otherwise, you're going to bottle it up and it'll be twisted.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And here are the guys, in this mass grave,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38which was very important to all us around,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42because we felt that this was a dignified and honourable burial.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46OK? And that we'd done the right thing for these brave men.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50'Much learned in the Falklands is used in the education of
0:03:50 > 0:03:52'the Mountain and Arctic Warfare CADRE,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55'men are training to fight behind the lines.'
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- A year ago, the role was reversed to our secondary role,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01which became our prime role,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05and that was working as a brigade recce organisation.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09This, of course, meant that we would be working
0:04:09 > 0:04:12behind the enemy lines, up to 200-300k behind enemy lines.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17This makes us more prone than any other troops
0:04:17 > 0:04:21in the Royal Marines to capture, including the SPS.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24So, it's my aim, over the next 40 minutes or so,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28to give you an introduction into the art of escape and evasion.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33'Many of the postgraduate Houdini tactics taught here are top-secret.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35'Their significance is not.'
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- The escape and evasion side, you've got to the able to
0:04:38 > 0:04:41look after yourself - you've got to be able to keep clean,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43you've got to know the rules to keep clean,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47and although people you probably saw on the survival things
0:04:47 > 0:04:49will get hold of civilian clothes and things like that,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52well, that's exactly what you'd have to do.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Let's take, for instance, in the Falklands,
0:04:54 > 0:04:59because most of the people there the local population, spoke English,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03it would be very easy to pass yourself off as a farmer,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06or anything like that and actually wander up, or very close by,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10to the enemy positions.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Obviously, you just have to act completely dumb
0:05:14 > 0:05:15and try and get away with it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Obviously, you try and keep away and not do that.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21The thing is, then, if you get caught in civilian clothes,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24it's a different kettle of fish altogether.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26And all these set rules that they're giving now,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31gives them confidence for when they do go out on their own later on,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34if they never do get in a situation for real,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36that they don't feel so alone.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It does go through your mind quite a lot,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42"What's going to happen to me if I do get caught?"
0:05:44 > 0:05:47'Since not getting caught wins more marks than escaping,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51'a huge premium in training is based on acute observation.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54'These men are engaged in an A-level version of Kim's game,
0:05:54 > 0:05:59'identifying in this landscape 12 items that the average rambler
0:05:59 > 0:06:02'would probably never notice.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05'You can join in yourself, but it isn't easy -
0:06:05 > 0:06:09'even with a zoom lens, to point you in the right direction.'
0:06:16 > 0:06:18'One axe, common or garden.'
0:06:27 > 0:06:30'The marines have got 11 more to go. For you, just one.'
0:06:44 > 0:06:47'One of those contraptions for penning recalcitrant children
0:06:47 > 0:06:48'to the roofs of cars.'
0:07:06 > 0:07:09'Life out here is full of surprises.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11'Practically every piece of vegetation
0:07:11 > 0:07:13'appears to be liable for income tax.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16'These are snipers, training for their lonely, dangerous job.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21'For obvious reasons, their faces will not be seen.'
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- A commander could use a sniper in a reconnaissance role,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28because they're highly trained in reconnaissance
0:07:28 > 0:07:31and various aspects of it on the internal security side,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33not only in conventional warfare,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35like the type of country we're in now,
0:07:35 > 0:07:39they could be used in an urban guerrilla situation.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44'The professionalism of these men can be blood chilling.'
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- If you want them to put down Harrison fire,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54you can deliberately aim to wound a man,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57so that it takes anything up to five to 10 men,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00depending on the terrain, to get him out.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Effectively, by shooting one man, if you know that the people
0:08:03 > 0:08:07you're shooting at are concerned about leaving wounded men around,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11then they'll take up the 10 men to get him out of a particular terrain.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14If you want him to kill somebody, for instance,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16if you want him to hit
0:08:16 > 0:08:20any high-ranking officers or commanders on the ground,
0:08:20 > 0:08:25the task has got to be so that the man warrants being shot in head.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29So, to go in close for a head shot
0:08:29 > 0:08:33when you can actually shoot somebody at maybe 500 metres
0:08:33 > 0:08:36is a waste of a sniper, if he happened to get caught out.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39So, the task to go in and shoot somebody at close range in the head,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43for a head shot, would have to be somebody quite high ranking.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50'This is a head shot, from 200 metres.'
0:08:58 > 0:09:01GUNSHOT
0:09:06 > 0:09:10'This is the same exercise from 600 metres.'
0:09:10 > 0:09:13GUNSHOT
0:09:14 > 0:09:17GUNSHOT
0:09:21 > 0:09:23GUNSHOT
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- If you look here, you can see the exit holes are quite big.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35You can see that the four shots that he fired into the body,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and the range he fired at was approximately 600 metres.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42So, the first shot was on and he was slightly left,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46and then his next shot is easier into the centre of the body,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49and you can see here, the centre of the dummy's head.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53And that was his four shots are on, and we're quite happy with that.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- I've found, in talking amongst some of you, a very hardened
0:09:58 > 0:10:02attitude towards death, to the point of callousness.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06I'm not thinking about battle here now, I'm thinking about once I heard
0:10:06 > 0:10:10where there was a colleague who had died
0:10:10 > 0:10:14and it was seen without sentiment.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Do you think you become hardened people?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Yes. - Probably.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Does that disturb you?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- No, I think it's an advantage.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- A fact of life, I suppose.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37As he says, it's probably an advantage, to be able to accept it
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and still carry on.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Could you accept that, or have the same attitude about
0:10:42 > 0:10:43a member of your family dying?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Not necessarily close, but a member of your family.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Would you be more prepared for that than the rest of us?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Definitely.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- It's probably happened since I've been in the corps. You, er...
0:10:57 > 0:11:01It's something that carries on from the people you work with.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Probably the people you work with are as close as family anyway.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08When family die it's, you...
0:11:08 > 0:11:14It's not such a big deal as it used to be before you joined up.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- And you think you've been hardened to that by your training?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Not in training, but probably experiences as well.
0:11:22 > 0:11:31I mean, it just becomes part of the job and hopefully, you just carry on.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35I mean, you know, every time, if you came across a dead body,
0:11:35 > 0:11:40and you broke down or went to pieces, it wouldn't be too good really,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42it's not a great morale booster
0:11:43 > 0:11:45to suddenly break down in front of everybody.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49So hopefully, you can just get through it and carry on.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- If you have an enemy in your sights,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55is there any hesitation about pulling the trigger?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- There can't be, can there? There mustn't be.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Basically, it comes down to it's probably you or him,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04and hopefully it's him each time.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07So, you can't hesitate, really.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- What do you think this has done to you as men?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15We're talking about going later into civilian life.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Can you ever get rid of that attitude?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Or will you take it with you to your own graves?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- I don't think it's something
0:12:24 > 0:12:27that you ought to be particularly ashamed of.
0:12:27 > 0:12:33If you considered a death as being something that...
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Death, obviously, is a very sad affair and I don't decry that at all.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41But if you take death very badly
0:12:41 > 0:12:45and you become very emotional about it, that's no way to carry on life.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48People die all the time. You've got to carry on with life as it comes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I think it can only be an advantage to realise that.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- What we're really saying is that you are trained killers
0:12:57 > 0:12:59in the defence of your country.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- That's a very dramatic way of putting it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- But is it correct?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Yes, yes, if you're saying that is the right question, yes, it is.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12But I don't think anyone actually physically thinks, you know,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16wakes up in the morning and says, let's go out and kill someone.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20You have to do it as part of your job and if you hesitate,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22if it is part of your job,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25then you're not fulfilling your role as a good soldier
0:13:26 > 0:13:27and you will not be a good soldier.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Unless you want to be a good soldier, you'll probably end up dead yourself,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34that's what it boils down to.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37'To minimise that risk,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40'camouflage and concealment are as vital as marksmanship.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43'In this exercise, they're given two minutes to scatter,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47'blend into the landscape, yet still establish a vantage point
0:13:47 > 0:13:49'from which to fire two blanks at their examiners
0:13:49 > 0:13:51'from a range of 200 metres.'
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- 09. - Cheers.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02'The observer's role is simply to spot the snipers.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04'The rules are unconditional.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08'Exposing a square inch of anything - uniform, skin, or rifle -
0:14:08 > 0:14:09'means failure.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Roger. Where Tony is now is about 190 metres, all right?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25'There are 13 men out there somewhere.'
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Just follow that path down that you've just taken up there, Paul.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Prepare to fire shot.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33GUNSHOT
0:14:33 > 0:14:36'Although the gun smoke exposes the sniper's whereabouts,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39'the observers have positively to see him.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43'If they still can't, they call up a marker, a sort of human gundog,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46'to close in and place a hand directly on the sniper's head.'
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Hand on head.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54'You may think, this must be the ultimate giveaway.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59'But no, to pass, the sniper must remain invisible to the observers.'
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Roger. I can't see nothing. Do you reckon he can see me?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Yeah, he's got you dead to rights.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08He is learning a lesson of life and death.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11No, that was a good position. What's his name?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Andrew Dicks.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Corporal Dicks, pass.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Any more snipers about?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Go back to your right again and step back two paces.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- I've settled about 180-200 metres away here which is just right.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33I can just about see the observers although it's a bit misty.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36DISTANT CHANTING
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Sounds like the Paras just running by. Somebody's just been pinged.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Craig.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Craig? Corporal Craig, Tony.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Did you get that?
0:15:49 > 0:15:50What he can see,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53you created a big black hole here by putting yourself in there.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56If you look hind you, you've got a lot of shadow
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and you would've been a lot better in there into the shadow.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00What you've got is a big green bush
0:16:00 > 0:16:02and then you've got brown here in the middle.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05You have to really think about your surrounding area.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I was trying to blend in with that bit.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Ideally, you want to be forward of it so that that's your background, OK?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15If you stand up then and just move over to the left-hand side there.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18OK, any more snipers about?
0:16:18 > 0:16:23At the moment, I've got a shot just over the right shoulder of
0:16:23 > 0:16:26young George about five metres in front of me.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32He's meant to fire a shot.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35GUNSHOT. There he goes.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37This is a dodgy time as they're looking straight at me
0:16:37 > 0:16:41as well as him, so I'll keep very still.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Tell him to fire.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49GUNSHOT
0:16:50 > 0:16:54OK. Not too bad. Not too much smoke.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Don't worry. He won't give you away cos of smoke.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59No, I can't see nothing, Tony.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01GUNSHOT
0:17:01 > 0:17:06And going down, down down, down, down, down, down.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Hand on sniper's head now.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16OK, can you make a move, then, Tony, please?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24He's moving his hand up and down.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Yeah, OK, that's good enough. OK, Tony.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30What's your name, please? Lieutenant Smith.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32OK, that's Lieutenant Smith passed, Tony.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Stand down. Ease! Stand easy. Listen in.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43What gave most people away yesterday was
0:17:43 > 0:17:47straight edges on your hat causing a shadow, darker than the area
0:17:47 > 0:17:49you were working in. It's all light bracken.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52The main criticism of this fine body of Royal Marines
0:17:52 > 0:17:56in the subsequent debriefing was that some of them looked too smart.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58What was it that give them away?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Straight edges. This'll give you away.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11Most people yesterday got caught out. Same again, straight edges.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Go and get your weapons now.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18In the wagon by 8:55am, everybody seated, ready to go.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Anybody got any problems before we set off from camp?
0:18:24 > 0:18:25For their next devious operation,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28they're required to stalk one mile along the river bed
0:18:28 > 0:18:31to positions from which they could assassinate their instructors
0:18:31 > 0:18:33without a lot of fuss.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Come five o'clock from the house.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42You've got that gap with prominent green, light green.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I think they're using that as a gateway across.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Roger. There is a bit of dead ground there as well.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51They're not using the dead ground, just crawling.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54And also by the back of them trees.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57They're moving off from them trees, I'm sure they are.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01For some, assassination proposition is becoming increasingly appealing.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04But the problem this time is they don't know where the observers are.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08They could actually stumble over them.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13There seems to be a group breaking away to the right, look.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22This is another exercise which carries many Brownie Points.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26To fail at this is to jeopardise one's whole future with the cadre.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And Russ Craig hasn't excelled so far.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Go left. Left.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Determined to pass this one
0:19:35 > 0:19:38because I've field at everything this morning and yesterday.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41This is the only chance I've got to redeem myself.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49This is looking good. Nice stream.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Yeah, I think there's someone just...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Yeah. Let's get right onto it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07OK, I'll just walk round, Tony, cos it's all dead swampy here. OK?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Here we are, here we are.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Ostensibly, Craig has every reason to reckon
0:20:19 > 0:20:22he could out-ambush Baden Powell.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24He's within 40 metres of his prospective victims
0:20:25 > 0:20:26and quite undetected.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33GUNSHOT
0:20:42 > 0:20:45What's his name?
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Corporal Craig, right. Tell him to stand up. He's failed.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53He's failed not because he was seen,
0:20:53 > 0:20:55but because he's taken an unnecessary risk
0:20:55 > 0:20:57in getting too close to his target.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Craig is so narked by this that he blazes off his second shot
0:21:01 > 0:21:02at the passing fish.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04GUNSHOT
0:21:05 > 0:21:09How many more have we got? One. One to go?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13What time we got left, Tony? Five minutes. Five minutes. Roger.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Let's have a quick scan, then.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Now I'm going to ease my rifle into a firing position.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Got a good view of them. I've got a nice backdrop
0:21:27 > 0:21:30and hopefully I should get away with this.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Nice and steady.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39GUNSHOT
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Roger. I can't see nothing. His camouflage looks pretty good.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51He's got a good background. Just check and see.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Stand up, make his way to transport.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59OK, son. Well done.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Just make your way round the back and back up to transport.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Now, I think you all agree that the aim was to get you through
0:22:13 > 0:22:16all your little bits and pieces like judging distance,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18observation, calm concealment,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21and the final aim was to get you through a stall.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25No, we got nearly 50% of you through the stalk.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29So over a period of two days, that wasn't bad.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Corporal Craig screwed it up.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33All right? He done well, he got to within 40 metres.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37In fact, he scared the shit out of me. All right?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39That was good, getting up to 40 metres.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42You were too close. You've got to think of an escape route.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46I thought you were going to do a bayonet charge or throw a rock at me. All ri
0:22:42 > 0:22:46ght?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49So what you should have done was retreated to a safe distance.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Remember, all you had to do was to get anywhere within 200 metres.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And why shoot somebody at 40 metres
0:22:55 > 0:22:58when you can shoot him safely at 200 metres?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I think, if you'd have fired, if you'd missed, you'd have probably
0:23:02 > 0:23:04got up and run like the clubbers.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Fine? So, point taken? You screwed it up by losing your temper
0:23:09 > 0:23:12and firing a shot in the river. All right? Don't do that again.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Point taken? I don't need to tell you any more. NCO, shouldn't do that.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Well, what it was, he said, I was doing the camouflage concealment
0:23:22 > 0:23:25and I kept getting pinged and I couldn't understand why.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30He's using the same old excuse - the nickname of the Pink Crash-helmet
0:23:30 > 0:23:32cos of my receding hairline.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I couldn't understand why I kept getting pinged
0:23:35 > 0:23:38because I was digging out blind. Everyone else around me
0:23:38 > 0:23:40wasn't getting seen and I was. Couldn't understand it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43It started to get to me after a while,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45and then when we done that final stalk,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I went the muckiest, muddiest and most horrible route,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51the most difficult route I could find to dig out a blind
0:23:51 > 0:23:53and prove that could do something, and I did.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I ended up getting so close,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I'd have been better off using a bayonet on them
0:23:57 > 0:24:01cos I got that close. Consequently, I'd run out of time anyway.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04And that's when I fired my shot off.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Obviously, I'd failed because I was only about 22 metres away,
0:24:08 > 0:24:1022 paces or something.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15And that's why when I was walking away I had a bit of a bazzy on,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19lost my temper a bit and I got in trouble for that, anyway.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Discipline problem. I've already had my wrists slapped for that.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24But I forgot about it now.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27It was just taken the wrong way at the time.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28That's life.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41The way it's going, Corporal Craig's ambitions
0:24:41 > 0:24:44appear to be scattering on the winds.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46However, there are always fresh challenges.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Abseiling down into trees is not a recommended sport,
0:24:55 > 0:25:00if for no other reason than it's governed by one infallible rule.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02If a sudden emergency threatens the helicopter,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05then the rope is cut, even in training.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Another skill to be learned
0:26:10 > 0:26:13is the accurate calling down of artillery fire.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Hello, Golf 11, this is 23 Bravo. Fire mission, over.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Golf 11, fire mission, over.
0:26:19 > 0:26:2623 Bravo, grid 451809,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30direction 3350,
0:26:30 > 0:26:36enemy patrol in building, neutralise now for two minutes.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Over.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Golf 31, grid 451809,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46direction 3350.
0:26:50 > 0:26:5523 Bravo - Golf 11, this is 23 Bravo.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57On target. Out.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Stop or you're going to split.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Stand up. Up. Help him. Help him up.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11He can't get out. OK, help him to his feet.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Keep him in sight. Do not resist.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Stand up.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19OK, moving forward.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Get those arm-locks on. Get them up! Stop resisting!
0:27:26 > 0:27:28OK, back down. He wants to go down.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39You don't have to put him to the ground if you can immobilise him.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42He's only a small man. Get those arm-locks on, get hold of him.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Up, up, up, up!
0:27:45 > 0:27:50Away we go. Good. Guy at the rear.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Stay out there...
0:27:53 > 0:27:57There are some acts of aviation which make shear common sense.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00That was a better one. Didn't put him on the ground.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04The viewer should remember there are certain aspects of the training
0:28:04 > 0:28:08of a special forces fighter which are not for domestic application.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Looking at the throat then, we can attack it from two points -
0:28:11 > 0:28:15we can be hitting down if we get the opportunity, or hit it up.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19We've got the Adam's apple and the breathing apparatus around here.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22If you smash that in there, you're going to have problems.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Go down.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Lie on your back, lie on your back.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30You may have knocked him out to the ground for a split second
0:28:30 > 0:28:33but you want to finish him out. You've got no great weapons.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Instead of just kicking him to the side,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39a good heel straight into the solar plexus can really do the job.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41OK, stand up.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Anybody got any particular points
0:28:43 > 0:28:46they want to bring up about this area here?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48No?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Similar to the mouth I was talking about earlier on.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55It's not only the pain it inflicts, but also fear.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58If you get hold of somebody here and say "Move!"
0:28:58 > 0:29:02he wants to go move. Cos he wants to go everywhere his balls go.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04THEY LAUGH
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Unarmed combat, the weapon of the silent attack.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12That's what you'll see in next week's programme
0:29:12 > 0:29:14during a night assault on a radar station.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15It involves a client
0:29:15 > 0:29:18that would probably make Chris Bonington think twice.
