    This is where fundamental number 5 was born. “Maximize reconnaissance assets forward”.

    Excellent work Leif. IMHO, the most important lesson to be learned here is: never underestimate an opponent you classified as inferior.
  • Holy smokes, this was outstanding. Hat's off to everyone who had a hand in this one.
  • I learned more about LBH in 10 mins than I have previously in my life. Incredible how we can apply the same principles to modern business problems. Fascinating breakdown of what actually happened. Thank you!
  • More of these analysis style videos please Leif! This was great and done very well brother.

    Appreciated in your book, when your Chief reminded you in Ramadi—that you could’ve moved back to the compound with coordination and cover from overwatch snipers. It worked out for you that day, but he pointed out you could’ve had more guns in the fight. Solid lesson.
  • @road_king_dude
    Absolutely love this! Would love to see more videos breaking down other historical events just like this! 👐
  • @chrish3650
    Excellent guidance thank you professor
  • Thank you for your service sir 🫡🇺🇲& sacrifice to our great country. Thanks for sharing this rich, awesome history
  • Brevity equals clarity. You've summarized this action so well that it's impossible NOT to understand the course of events. Also, you explain the consequences of decisions without issuing judgements -- allowing the viewer to draw their own conclusions and learn. Outstanding!

    Awesome, awesome, awesome! Should be viral! More please Echelon Front team! I'm doing all of your courses online, I think you guys are the real deal. Premier leadership company is almost an understatement but beware the ego! Hahaha. Jokes aside, you inspired me to listen to history military/leadership books (about face, etc.). Thank you very much! You guys are indeed helping the World to become a better place IMHO.
