HaVoC Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) I just posted them to prove that black ones are in use, not to specify by which unit. I thought the guy from the second pic was assumed to be Delta, unless something has changed since I last checked? This IDing of guys in photos is a f*cking failure anyway - there are more arguments over that than anything else. Pretty sad. Edited April 21, 2009 by HaVoC Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 CAG, BAG, AWG, FRAG, NAG. Whichever. Second picture by Havoc. Go with whatever. It really doesn't matter THAT much. Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticMag Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Judging by the photo tag he's a really well-posed and photo shop'd 1/6th scale action figure. Link to post Share on other sites
CoolHeart_ASN Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well there are some things that make me think on delta. Yeah! i know he is not using normal delta stuff but the mich 2000 with the anvis and batery pack has been seen on other photos (at least one) Then the paraclete rav. Ok, it´s on 3 desert pattern, but... He´s carrying a 1911 on a 6004 (ok they normally uses the 3004) As i say on the post, i need to id LOL! Link to post Share on other sites

Fatal Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Its going to be hard because that weapon was phased out quite some time ago. Link to post Share on other sites
CoolHeart_ASN Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I know fatal, but i´m not triying to do an actual impression. My impression is based on late 90´s early 2000, exactly between 98-01 Again, thanks to all, dudes! Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt. Kinnaird Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 i know he is not using normal delta stuff What do you mean? Everything about the kit screams it lol. Link to post Share on other sites
D0LCE Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 could someone enlighten me as to what normal delta kit is ? Link to post Share on other sites
TheLair Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) From what I gather, what people around here believe, Paraclete smoke green stuff Edited April 22, 2009 by TheLair Link to post Share on other sites
atomicaardvark Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 could someone enlighten me as to what normal delta kit is ? 'Normal' is such a tough word, given that Delta - like every other SOF - will tailor their individual kit to the particular mission they're undertaking, the theatre of operations (jungle, desert etc.), threat level... I could go on... Might be easier to say what sort of environment you're looking to base your kit on/in or a time frame. There are certain items that are more generally associated with Delta than with other SOF like ANVIS NVG mounts (although there's pics of PJs and SF using them), Paraclete smoke green plate carriers as already mentioned by TheLiar (also favoured by UKSF in the RAV-variety) etc. Link to post Share on other sites

HeuteGegangen Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 guess so Certainly does appear that those guys drew from a specific suite of kit between 2000 and 2004 though if reference photos are to be taken seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
atomicaardvark Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm going to go out on a limb and post this pic from mp.net, despite what the caption states as I believe (judging by the patch on the gent's right arm, the different camo to the others and the fact that it looks like he's instructing the rest) it's 10th SFG(A) - ODA 0334 judging by the patch. A Soldier from 9th Battalion, Iraqi Special Operations Forces, aims to improve his reflexive fire skills. The Soldiers are being trained by U.S. Special Operations Forces in Al Asad, Iraq. Once the training cycle is complete, these Soldiers will be responsible for keeping the Al Anbar province safe from insurgents and criminals in the area. "Al Anbar has the only force that can go after so many targets, so we are happy to have this training," said the commander of Al Anbar's 9th Battalion, ISOF. "We are capable to make the area safe."

D0LCE Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Uh, im going to say no. solely based off the type of jump wings he is wearing on his chest. I would assume those are iraqi jump wings. Im not sure how their uniform regulations are but if it is anything like ours you can wear patchs from joint operations on your right sleeve without being apart of that actual unit. There is female somewere in the army running around with a ranger scroll on, just because she was attached to the regiment on a deployment. besides he a lil clean shaven to be sf in threater.

Fatal Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yea, looks too me like the caption is correct. The Iraqi Army has a mix of cammies that they are wearing. All his patches ( minus the ODA one ) are 100% Iraqi as well. Link to post Share on other sites
gbiscuit Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Doesn't a Task Force imply that multiple nations would be involved? So, maybe that Iraqi was wearing that patch because he is currently working with that ODA? Link to post Share on other sites
Fatal Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 The part in the caption about the task force is talking about the photographer. But if you know anything about the 36th Commandos they are a good unit. They have also worked with ODA's in the past. Link to post Share on other sites
