Hopefully they have the sense to garrison Ponyville so that this dude doesn't end up having to fight off a small army of mercenaries with only a scrappy band of local civilians for help. Good story so far, I'm sure Jack and Shining will get on swimmingly.

I kinda hope that doesn't happen now.
The guy was horribly wounded, saved her protege and one of the elements of harmony, and one of the first things Celestia does is try to disarm him. Beyond that when he doesn't immediately heel to on that demand, Shining Armor's first reply is, without asking even why, “We could just take them from you." Upon his flat out denial, and before he did anything, his guards are already casting magic at him.
After trying to stop this attack, he is forceably restrained, and cuffing him, his charge's reply is that he should calm down. At that point he agrees to a compromise with Celestia, massively calmly, despite being essentially under coercion, where any agreement here holds no validity, to not have his weapons at the ready when the ponies are being as they have been and he has been under constant fire for the past week.
Maybe Jack will get more trust, even though he’s proved himself and his skill time and time again, I know rainbow is the only one Jack really trusts with his weapons and wasn’t surprised when she had them and wouldn’t give them to the guard’s. Can’t wait for the next chapter!
She proceeded to carry the ches from there in her magic, -- Missing a t
I hope the next subject is the hostilities between griffons and ponies, even if just speculation.
MORE!!!!!!!!!!
I NEED MY FIX
I think Jack made it clear he is no pushover and hes as seriouse as a soldier can get. Its very important nothing comes in the hand of others. He cant stop em from collecting the corpses and empty ammo shells to research but without a unused bullet and or the gun that fired em there basicly useless foot notes.
Great chapter. After all he suffered he recovered within a few hours or a day at best, impressive medical recovery thanks to magic/potions.

Its overall unrealistic that Ponyville has not at least one in place. They literally live next to the Evertree Forest that is infested with Predators. Why not get a pony as snack if they undefended. To keep a predator at bay you need to be more trouble than your worth.
Risk of injuries, poisen flowers to the predators or at least a very unpleasent smell is needed otherwise Ponyville couldnt exist near the Forest. Walls dont stop a Timberwolf from digging below it, Manticores just fly abouve em.

Literally a alien from another world is now withhin Ponyville! Every not retarded leader would get military and research personal transfered there. Military to keep the treasure knownlage and items in there hooves and Researchers to slowly reveal the priceless knownlage the Military is guarding.
Example:
▪His food rations - Military grade food can turn wars in your favor. The moral of the soldiers is a force multipler.
▪His medical supplys - (bandage etc.) is worth a lot for military and civil use.
▪weapons and ammunition - Literally centuries /millenia jumping Equestria in war equicment forward.
▪Battlefield tactics - Pretty sure everyone knows that that can change a 'Impossible situation to win' into 'a victory'. Quality over quantity.
I wonder if Celestia will ask for military advice from Jack, try and get him into a military role in Equestria, or if we will see a Drill, Sargent Jack.

If MRE's are there to raise morale... well the ponies must have some seriously crap food.

*Terribly under packed training pouch with crap that's been re-used too many times.
There might be a few things that are useful in there but remember the stuff the unicorns were able to do in patching up Jack. That said, the pressure bandage, tourniquet, the compressed gauze, and maybe the chest seal since that wouldn't work great on furred and feathered creatures would maybe be beneficial.
Jack's not interested in sharing. Also, a mechanic might know ow an engine works and be able to explain what each part does but he couldn't recreate the engine from scratch.
Same goes for a soldier with his rifle, he'll be able to tell you what the parts in the gun do but knowing the process of the metallurgy behind the creation of the alloys for things like the barrel? the machinery necessary to build all of the parts? All those things you just don't know. Not saying the information wouldn't be invaluable for R&D but if a civilization is frankly still too primitive in that regard they will still need decades to develop the tech to make a mediocre replica.
Problem with that is that any tactics Jack knows are tailored to fighting with 21st-century weaponry. That's not even taking into account that any human tactics are based on magicless creatures that walk on 2 legs as opposed to 4.

That stuff (and a lot of earth tech) is a very good equalizer for Earth Ponies and could break some of the dependencies which Celestia actually would look at as a bad thing.
10485020
Maybe the first few centuries after Equestria's establishment but I don't see enough cracks in the current situation that one of the races would want to secede.
10485034
Lots of earth pony enclaves -- like where the pies were being delivered. Appleloosa is also an earth pony town -- don't see too many (any?) non-earth ponies.
They actually made a point about just how mixed Ponyville is in the CMC cheer episode.
I could see tech making it more so Earth Ponies didn't need magic, just like how Winter Wrap Up uses no magic STRICTLY even in Ponyville.
At any rate I could see it as a concern from Celestia's POV.

Thing is, that tactic could be developed completely independent of Jack since it does not rely on anything modern and when you have Pegasi in the mix it'll always be in the mind of a commander that they might contend with aerial opponents.
7/10 good job so far. Can't wait to read more.

WW2 , vietnam and other time MRE were horrible for moral. Effectiv storage and Nutrition was more important than eatable in flavor.
Ever checked documentary on it? I can recall see 5 and all say the same. Basicly: Shit was good to store and calories were good and all but you bearly could eat it for the flavor.
I love to see youtube video unpacking and review old and new MRE of any nations
Sun Tzu tactics alone are mindblowing and are on the tech level of Equestria.
Personaly i think 'if you show up to a fair fight, you didnt do a good job'.
I had a onkle in poland that told my father great storys about how officers outsmarted germans with history book grade tactics. Basicly cooky german fell for simple tactics.
No idea if it was just boasting but the story my father told me were pretty nice. That why i love to see war documentarys and topics in that direction to this day.
Damn fine picture. Home made or googled? The way you write the story i feel like listen to a veteran adding is knownlage with great Story telling

I don't know about other nations or documentaries but I do know they are only edible if you're tired and/or miserable in the field.
My own picture. I've been in military school for a good while with basic coming up sometime next year, I'm no prof by far but I do have the resources, knowledge, and experiences to write a believable soldier.
Surprised he didn't argue that the weapons were government property and that others cannot interfere with them.
Got a big question, is the box invincible because of the magic or just the lock? Cause I would still be worried about someone trying to steal the guns, thanks! Love the story so far!
Few concerns with this.
1: I thought he was going to be given the key?
2: Someone could just steal the chest...
3: Locks can be broken open
4: There’s no indication the chest can’t be broken into even if the lock can’t
I would expect a pegasus to have wings, cause without them it is just a horse. Did you perhaps mean to say "unicorn"?
My only real complaint about this story so far is that I didn't find it later so I would have had more to read.
Unicorn and torc would be the words you're looking for.
Oh my gosh this story is awesome

Doesn't matter.
Neither will stop Pinkie from replacing all his ammo with confetti. She's going to go crazy with all those brand new Party Cannons!
And Jack's going to shit a brick when he suddenly gets a face-full from her old cannon.
Nice chapter. Lets see how stuff continues...
“Airborne? You guys fly?“
Not exactly
"A scratch? Your arm's off."
"No it isn't."
"Then what's that?"
"... I've had worse."
Ha! She said it!
You may have wanted to specify.

"You liar!"
This is some good SHIT! Keep up the good work, I'll enjoy what comes next.
One question, WHY
Because Shining Armor acted like a total jackass. The fuck is wrong with him?
Yeah, sure, start a fight in front of rulers of two allied nations. Great self-preservation instincts right there. I guess there's a reason not many rank soldiers serve as diplomats.
