Sinner101GR Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 the FSBE doesnt work for SF loadouts, thats more for Marine Force Recon. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Looks more like a right-after-9/11 SF load-out to me, personally. Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Spots? ######!

HaVoC Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 the FSBE doesnt work for SF loadouts, thats more for Marine Force Recon. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It has been seen in use with a few other units before, including Army SF. I'll dig out the pics if and when I have the time/inclination. Which might be a while... Link to post Share on other sites

HaVoC Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Thought this might be interesting to those of y'all asking if you can use a Weesatch/Wasatch for this sort of loadout... I think they're Infantry not SF, but the point still stands - yes, you could use one Edited May 25, 2007 by HaVoC Link to post Share on other sites
tinkle60 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thought I explained the origins of the wasatch already. Link to post Share on other sites

scooberoo Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Nice work BellaD. If I recall from my sf photo collection, there's this one guy with FSBE in afghanista. he had a flower on his BDU pants. My bad...hehehe Force Recon Marines North Of Naseriya CENTRAL IRAQ - APRIL 11: A U.S. Marine with Force Recon of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit stands armed while flowers hang from his pants April 11, 2003 in central Iraq, north of Naseriya. The flowers were given to him by grateful Iraqis. Force Recon is the U.S. Marines' equivalent of U.S. Special Forces, tasked with recon and other sensitive missions in small groups.

HeuteGegangen Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Still waiting on those FSBE AAV pix lol. A guy from the 101st (Stephen on LF) was talking about using a tan FSBE AAV during the inital invasion of Iraq, though it was privately purchased. That's the only time I've ever heard of or seen one in use with a unit not affiliated with the Navy. Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I had intended this to be a military PSD detail, not PMC (thus my camo'd m4). Link to post Share on other sites

NoRemorse Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Here is a funny one. Army SF in Afghanistan in the late 80's during the Afghan Soviet conflict. Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) I've looked through the pics I have on my Mac and I can't find them. I KNOW they exist, since I was fascinated by them back when I found them. I have a feeling they're on my PC, but that's pretty dead right now, so there's little chance of getting them off my PC HDD in the near future. I doubt the FSBE AAVs were issued, but I'd imagine they were private purchase. It's not that unlikely. If I remember correctly the photos were of 5th SFG guys, and they've been seen using all sorts of kit. Heute, +1 on Stephen. I remember that.
