New Graphics and Video Plans in September
🕑 Added 2024-09-10 22:05:46 +0000 UTCHere are some new graphics I made explaining:
US Army Military Police Platoons
US Army Medium Tactical Vehicle Platoon of a Composite Truck Company
US Army Fire Truck Team
Colombian Army Medium Mechanized Platoon (ASV Cavalry)
I often re-use research and assets I prepare for graphics in videos so it's not entirely disconnected (although for the Fire Truck Team one I did it the other way around). A video on the tactical role of Military Police and Colombian Armored Cavalry is on the table so I'll be reusing these assets for sure (the MPs use Humvees and M-ATVs which are common throughout the Army so it's likely I'd reuse those assets anyway)
Here are my video plans in September:
I've been working on a video about the Malian Army, including their structure, geography, and the vehicles they use. As an African country it's relatively obscure and the video will cover their entire army, from their administrative combat units to GTIA task forces so it'll be on the longer side. The video will also be map-heavy which take a little longer to make and is also tied a little bit to current events, so I apologize for the gap between videos.
After that I will probably decide between 2 things:
LARC-60 / LARC-LX units during the Cold War, which were basically these big amphibious truck-looking barges fielded by the U.S. Army as a ship-to-shore connector during amphibious operations. They could fit like 200 people or a tank.
France's new EBRC Jaguar platoons (new armored recon vehicle filling the role of the AMX-10RC). Today I just got some information on what their planned platoon structure was c. 2018, including personal weapons and drone integration, so that could be a cool video.
If you've been seeing me post Shorts and that's not what you paid for, don't worry. I basically spent 3 days last month making enough Shorts to schedule through all of September and the first week of October, so it's not really taking that much attention away from full-video production. It's a nice little income boost that took my August revenue from below average to high-average since the Patriot video didn't perform extremely well and half the money went to a writer.

That's what I'm hearing

Are EBRC platoons going to look more similar to Leclerc units (now that both vehicles have 3-man crews)?

I was kind of just testing the notation on the Colombia one. I might bring it back but on the U.S. ones it's less necessary when I do the rank insignias as well

I'll probably do both. My feel is the LARC's appeal is it'll look crazy in a thumbnail and the Jaguar is more ultra-modern newsy. It'll just be a matter of which one gets done in September

I like the shorts and if they drive more pass through to subscribers and Patreons, that’s awesome, no need to apologize. Also, I love the LARCs, but would understand if you go for the Jaguar video if it would get more views. Hopefully you will eventually do both

Graphics are great. One question- how do you decide which get the personnel summary notation (0-1-6) and which do not?
