How the DSCA Task Force Works
I spent time with sailors and Marines who are preparing to aid communities during hurricane season.
Some notes on the DSCA task force:
It contains:
1 Landing Platform Dock (LPD)
~ 300 Sailors
~300 Logistical and Combat Support Marines
6 MV-22 Ospreys
2 LCACs
2 624KR Earthmovers
1 Wrecker.
And a battalions worth of ancillary equipment such as Humvees and JLTVs for command control and medical support,
Ryan, your content is my favorite. You are an excellent commentator. Every video I find myself wishing it was longer. I sincerely appreciate your commitment to integrity. I believe your work is important and I encourage my friends and even strangers to check out your Substack or YouTube's.
I don't care what the topic of the day is, I always know you're going to do it justice. You may be one of the only credible sources of information I'm exposed to. Since joining your audience and watching the videos I find my ability to apply critical thought has been growing.
I appreciate the people in service making the effort to have you invited in to a world I'll never be privy to otherwise. I hope the opportunities continue to be offered and more obscure units of the military get time in the spotlight. Seeing the specialized units, the role they play, and the overall results within the branches is something most media never delves into.
Maybe you've already covered this, but I was wondering if you could do a presentation on the combined total sum of military structure of America. Like, a quick breakdown of the different branches of service from the lesser known entities tasked with peripheral support i.e. Coast Guard, National Guard all the way up to the fundamental branches i.e. A. N. M. AF. SF.
If you could include a module relating to command and political structure and what that means to how it trickles all the way down to the individual service members and units.
I'm interested in how it's possible that such an immense amount of logistics comes together to ensure freedom reigns. It might be a big ask but I think many people would benefit from learning this, even at a high level with low resolution.
Anyway, I am very happy I subscribed and am heading over to grab me a shirt. Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work!

You didn't even mention the Red Cross. Boooo. Yes, they aren't the first responders, but they are the second ones. Red Cross manages shelters that include health services, grief counseling, spiritual care, feeding, dormitory space, pet sheltering, family reunification, and on and on. The Southern Baptist Disaster Relief organization takes care of preparing the meals. Red Cross delivers them. They are the ones that are there before the event, during the event, and long, long, after the event. Anyone can go to: https://maps.redcross.org/website/maps/ARC_Shelters.html to see where disaster recovery operations are currently taking place.
