Il était une fois les Alpins❄️ 🇨🇵🇺🇦🇬🇪

HOMMAGE NATIONAL AUX TROUPES DE MONTAGNE 2026 Ce 6/11, au sommet du mont Jalla, les Troupes de montagne étaient réunies pour leur hommage annuel.

En octobre, l’Escadron de Reconnaissance et d’Intervention Antichar a été déployé au Centre d’Entraînement de l’Infanterie au Tir Opérationnel. Les Éclaireurs des Cimes ont participé à cet exercice en utilisant des quads à la place de leurs VBL. Une première pour le régiment !

Le 28/10, 316 jeunes civils ont rejoint le 5e bataillon et l'ENSOA. 🚆 J1 : arrivée en gare. 🪖 J6 : remise de l'arme. Entre les deux ? 6 jours pour changer de vie et 6 mois pour devenir des cadres de l'@armeedeTerre. Bienvenue à la 398e promotion !

A Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopter has no passenger cabin, no cargo doors, and no room for litters; it has only two narrow tandem seats built for the pilot and the gunner. So when a critically wounded American soldier was bleeding to death on the ground in Ramadi, Iraq on June 30, 2007, one of the Apache pilots gave up his seat and rode on the outside of the helicopter through a combat zone. Chief Warrant Officer Kevin Purtee of Texas and Chief Warrant Officer Allen Crist of Missouri, flying with the 149th Aviation Regiment, were on their final combat patrol of their deployment when an urgent radio call came in. A young soldier from the 1st Battalion, 77th Armor Regiment had been shot through the face and arm during a fierce firefight near Donkey Island. Forty agonizing minutes had already passed since the ground unit called for a medical evacuation helicopter, and the wounded soldier was running out of time. Looking down at the smoke rising from the firefight, Purtee keyed his intercom and asked his front-seat gunner, Allen Crist, a question that is not in any Army flight manual. He asked if Crist was willing to give up his armored front cockpit seat to the bleeding soldier and ride on the outside wing of the Apache back to the hospital at Camp Ramadi. Crist answered with one word: Absolutely. Why did they not wait another twenty minutes for a standard Black Hawk ambulance helicopter? Because Purtee and Crist had seen good men die on the ground waiting for a ride, and they refused to watch another American bleed out while they had two spinning rotors overhead. Setting the Apache down in the dirt, Crist unstrapped, jumped out, and helped three infantrymen lift the bandaged, blood-soaked soldier into the front gunner's seat and buckle his harness. Then Crist climbed onto the left side of the fuselage, clipped a short nylon tether from his vest to a handhold, planted his boots on a six-inch metal walkway strip, and sat on the narrow stub wing right above the rocket pod. He knocked twice on the cockpit glass with his fist, and Purtee pulled the Apache into the sky, flying at highway speed over hostile rooftops to the medical pad. The next day in the hospital, with his shattered jaw wired shut, the surviving soldier took a notepad and wrote two sentences to the pilots: Thank you, and sorry for messing up your helicopter.

The "Fold" Gen 2 Kilt developed by the Ukrainian armor manufacturer Balistyka (Балістика), it is designed to replace three separate standalone pieces of gear: a groin guard, independent thigh armor panels, and a ballistic sitting mat. Battle skirts are so back.. 😉🇺🇦
