SilentScope Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 They are 306th Rescue Squadron. The thread said Army SF and SOF, so whatever LOL nowhere else to put them Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) This thread is all about the big green, not the f*ckin air force!! Edited May 1, 2007 by HeuteGegangen Link to post Share on other sites
poorieuser Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 What exactly's the difference between SOF and SF? Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Special Forces is a group within itself, special operations forces refers to the community as a whole. So army units would include Rangers, SF and D-Boys, though I guess they're called CAG now Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Does AF count or is Havoc right and my hard to find pictures have no business here? Link to post Share on other sites
trfo2o Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 yes...AF should count. Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 AF aint Army, this is an Army thread... New pics are always appreciated though, it's your call. Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 But it say Army SF and SOF, like one refers to just Army and the other is more general. Must ask Catch22 what he means Link to post Share on other sites
tommyknocker2121 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Does AF count or is Havoc right and my hard to find pictures have no business here? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd love to see those pictures. Start a new thread if you'd like but don't deprive us of those hard to find pictures. Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I was referring to the two I posted earlier. I don't collect pictures LOL, I just know where a few interesting ones are hosted and such. Nothing that hasn't been posted here before I'm pretty sure Link to post Share on other sites

So army units would include Rangers, SF and D-Boys, though I guess they're called CAG now <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â SOF refers to any Special Operations Forces units in any service. Navy SEALs, AF PJs and CCTs and, technically, Marine Force Recon should count. If you want to limit it to Army only, USASOC units would be appropriate though this would count PsyOps and Civial Affairs as well. Edited May 1, 2007 by jager Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Wow, I guess you missed that whole army part of the sentence huh? Link to post Share on other sites
jager Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Wow, I guess you missed that whole army part of the sentence huh? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â The "and" in the sentence is a conjunction between two ideas. It can be interpreted as two different or two similar ideas depending on your point of view. I guess whenever someone has said "SOF" around me, it's always been refering to SOF as a whole.

HeuteGegangen Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Fair enough. Understand however that we already have a FR, EOD and SEALs thread. This thread was created because those groups were already represented and army ones were not. Furthermore, have a look through previous pages to determine trends of focus... there should be little confusion as to the focus of this thread. Link to post Share on other sites

jager Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'm all for an Army thread considering I've been in for about two years now. Â As for all the questions on what SF uses as far as gear; anything that works for that person. I know some guys that swear by MOLLE, others that prefer fixed vests or chest rigs. It just depends on what your mission is and how you are operating. If they're doing a low profile operation, they'll use local uniforms/clothing and gear. If they're operating in Vehicles, chest rigs worn high on the chest would be more appropriate. For CQB, they'll break out the body armor like the CAG guys in some of the pics. Dive teams prefer split chest rigs so a rebreather will fit comfortably on the chest and won't get in the way of the magazines. Â As a side note, some guys swear by wearing a vest over the body armor for the simple reason that if they need to dump it, all their mission essentials won't go with it. API rounds burn through plates, so if you dump the armor, you can recover the vest and carry on. Link to post Share on other sites

Must ask Catch22 what he means <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Well.... I meant for the thread to be just Army but didn't want to limit it to just SF. So.... it got the SF & SOF title. I should've named it "Cool US Army Pics" Â So..... Who gonna start the "AF SOF - TACP, PJ, EOD" mega thread? Â I got pics to put in it Link to post Share on other sites
