This is the AIR FORCE SOF thread.

This is a prototype for the regular army.

Hey guys, I remember some ago on Wannabe board a guy who was making that little piece for IBH helmets, that rectangular metal piece to attach the comm system on the real one. Does anyone have that item or know how to have a pair nowadays?

You're welcome. Sorry I don't have any pic of the mod, it's just an idea I had while running my TT MAV over one of my HPCs.

You might want to get rid of the cummerbund since it does'nt carry any pouches nor side-armor and being a bit unconfortable in my own opinion, plus you could mod the AWS rig with some male velcro on the back so it could match with the female velcro of the HPC. Your HPC is a litlle bit too recent for an "old school" setup though, since the version you have has the two buttons to hold the cummerbund.

First pic is a SWAT member (some clues : Non-military radio, non-military AR15, PJ's don't use throat-mic comsets, he's in an Army UH-60 (not rare for SWAT to train on Army choppers), and he looks pretty light on med stuff), plus the uncensored version of the pic shows NY ESU patch. Second one is not a CCT but a TACP.

PJ's don't use Mk18mod0, neither does any other troups except for Navy VBSS teams. If you meant CQBR (CQBR and Mk18 are two different weapons), they don't use it either. The only short barrel they're using on M4 are the commando simmunition training upper.

21st STS CCTers used it before being replaced by LBT-6094, there were still a few of them in 320th STS last year.

Oh, that's right, I should have think of that too, considering I have one.... I've just took a look at the hires, and definitely not a MAV, but I don't know what is it :

@Nasty : That was the one I was talking about. @Jolly : First one is a Blackhawk LBE harness, second one is a Tactical Tailor MAV 2pieces w/ TT X-Harness.

Yes they did use it, look for 59th ERQS pics in Kandahar in '05.

Yep, PJ's from 321st STS are using the Eagle D-PC, we can see a lot more of it during Jackal Stone 2010.

Nice pics, thanks a lot. I suppose this M4 with DD Mk18RIS II is a CCT M4, can you confirm?

Love it man, you've got the look of a 18serie, that is badass, even look like Kyle Lamb. And love the PTT.

I'm not talking about posting deceased servicemen pictures, I'm talking about posting it like being nothing more that anonymous gear dummies, and tagging the pic like it is his own property. Sorry about the swear filter, will not do that anymore.

Seriously? This guy need to stop adding some f***ing labels on pics which aren't his property, even more on KIA personnel, this is fu**ing disrespectfull... FYI, this is a picture of 1st Lt Joel Gentz (cut off the pic), SSgt Michael Flores and SrA Benjamin White. KIA on June 9 2010. RIP

Not CCT, TACP. AFAIK TACP are embedded in Ranger Bats, not CCT. CCT and Rangers are working together when part of a QRF if I'm right.

Speaking about firearms, 23rd STS PJ's and CCT have HK416s as well, just like 24th STS like you said Jolly. 21st STS (PJ's and CCT too) did have some Mk16 & 17, but don't know if they still have them since USSOCOM don't want to buy the SCAR serie anymore. Also, 10th CWS (Combat Weather) have (had?) some Mk16 and Mk17. (obviously M4s are still in use and every squadrons)

Always seen Coyote Tan (so more likely Khaki) 6094a and khaki pouches, not Coyote Brown. Also for the kit list, CCT are using two MBITR radios the most part of the time, usually one 148 plus one 152, and put them in the cummerbund internal radio mesh pouch on 6094 instead of a MBITR pouch (the 152 will not fit in the EI MBITR pouch). Actually yes some guys have SFLSC pouches, in Special Tactics Training Squadron it looks like everybody is using the kit.

Australian SOTG, you can see a guy with the Ninox mount and ANVIS are well used by Australian SOF nowadays.

Damn mate, congrats!!

I think doing a Pararescue impression without the IR black and white PJ patch is just wrong, even if I totally understand your position, it's just a big way to identify a PJ and it's worn by almost every PJ's on rescue missions and operations. It don't mean we're trying to be something we're not, just a big mark of respect for our heroes. Some are like "Hey look I'm a Delta Special Forces operator!! LOL", but it's not the case of real reenactment. It's a way to support you guys. And for foreign combat rescue programm, you will be surprised on how *suitcasey* the selections are made in

CRO are issuing the same gear as their fellow PJs since they are in the same squadrons.

Those are pics of the 19th SFG taken last year, the first one is a CCTer FYI.
