Danger close is a term used in military operations to indicate that friendly forces are in close proximity to the target area. It is a warning given to prevent accidental harm to friendly troops. This term is commonly used in situations where air support or artillery is being called in to engage a target that is close to friendly forces.
In the military, precision and accuracy are of utmost importance. However, in the chaos of the battlefield, the risk of collateral damage is always present. Danger close situations require precise and careful coordination between ground forces and supporting units to ensure the safety of friendly troops.
The decision to engage in a danger close situation is not taken lightly. It requires a thorough assessment of the risks and benefits, as well as a clear understanding of the tactical situation. The potential for harm to friendly forces must be weighed against the potential threat posed by the enemy target.
When calling in air support or artillery in a danger close scenario, the term “danger close” is used to alert the supporting units that they are working in close proximity to friendly forces. This triggers a heightened level of caution and a more precise approach to targeting and engagement.
In these situations, clear communication and coordination are essential. Ground forces must accurately convey their location and the location of the enemy target to the supporting units. The supporting units, in turn, must carefully calculate their firing solutions to minimize the risk of hitting friendly forces.
In recent years, danger close situations have become more prevalent as military operations have shifted to more urban and populated areas. The increased proximity of enemy targets to civilian areas and friendly forces has made precision targeting even more critical.
The use of drones and advanced targeting technology has also helped in minimizing the risks associated with danger close situations. These tools provide military units with real-time intelligence and targeting capabilities, allowing for more accurate and precise engagement of enemy targets.
Despite the advancements in technology, the inherent risks of danger close operations remain. The fog of war and the unpredictability of the battlefield can still lead to tragic mistakes. As a result, danger close operations require a high degree of skill, discipline, and caution from all involved.
In conclusion, danger close operations are a challenging and high-stakes aspect of modern military operations. The safety of friendly forces is paramount, and every precaution is taken to minimize the risks associated with engaging targets in close proximity to friendly troops. The successful execution of danger close operations requires clear communication, precise coordination, and a careful assessment of the tactical situation.

general a coward
and this is what it was like for those who still live.
Fun fact: That finger on the trigger causing that negligent discharge at 9:06 is pretty accurate. The finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire wasn't common practice until the mid 80's, especially in militaries.
Did the Brit’s carry M-16s? I thought they had Enfield’s
Blue Blood British leaders are all COWARDS !
Incredible battle. Bloody fight. War.
Excellent movie
Travis Fimmel is an amazing actor, form his mannerisms to his body language even the way he speaks. It doesn't matter what role he takes on I will always see Ragnar
The most vicious were ROKS, Republic of Korea. Force Logistics Command in DaNang had a Saigon ovjer them donut store, “No ROKS Allowed.
Amazing movie, shout out to out Aussie brothers from across the pond
Best comment here relating to the movie. You took the words right out of my mouth, but you did better!!I I think it was better than ‘Saving Private Ryan’ AND that’s saying a lot. It must’ve been a very tiring movie for most all the actors to be running so much
I was 5 years old when this all took place.
Very well-done video. They even made a real effort to match these talented actors visually to their real-life counterparts.
I believe the Aussies only suffered 18 KIA.
I had no idea that I was watching a real life movie. This is a great memorance for all of these soldiers that fought at Long Tan. God bless the ones that made it out alive. May the soldiers that died there rest in peace .
Outstanding.
npoe
5 stars. A must see"
108 against 2000…yikes..sounds like the battle of thermopylae
I always thought the M113 was made from aluminum.
i need to make sure that turtle survived
My increased knowledge of Australians in Vietnam was recent. Being in the USA my knowledge from vets and media was focused on our involvement. I knew Australians were there but not much more. I heard a song khe san…..great song and it hit me on returning vets us a d Australians. I read that song was well known down there. Since then I've filled some gaps in my knowledge. Thanks guys. I remember the 60s. I remember the vets and the protestors. I was just about to need to register. I had family and friends in both camps. Not a popular war but in retrospect at the time communist expansion was real. Take Cambodia for example it didn't work out well for the population. Communism doesn't work sounds nice In theory. Uncle ho couldn't and wouldn't accept division eventhough he had agreed to. N Korea tbe same. Just because they were alternate to western goals protestors tended to treat them as good and make excuses for them while tearing ourselves down. My opinion not black and white.neither were all right. The regular soldiers as it is in war fought bra ery a trragedy on both sides. Good movie. With the world today sad we have not learned.
Gripping! Breathtaking. The best I have seen. And I was there.
