atomicaardvark Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 A couple of pics from the following were posted over on mp.net, and whilst there is no definite answer as to who they are the fact that the majority are wearing Eagle Plate Carrier with Cummerbunds suggests SF...

tom lawson Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 bits n bobs for my upcoming CAG loadout *Pix* Medic, why are you selling all your kit? (I randomly found it on Ebay) thats a 416 isnt it ? Looks like it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grantfallen Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Those are some nice pictures you've found there. Forgive my ignorance of US Army SF, but THEM wearing tri colour is that a new thing in light of the congress orders relating to UCP, I thought most of them would be in MC? With regards to the lack of iron sights, I guess they don't have to worry about BB's hitting the lenses of their optics and cracking them. Sorry that sounded like a bit of a titish thing to say.

SF, and SOF in general, enjoy a greater leniency with regard to uniform in theatre than regular forces. SF do wear UCP, however it all comes down to personal preference and where abouts you're operating down-range. So far as I know Congress have not yet completely ordered a rethink of UCP, although it seems that this is going to become more likely; IIRC there will be a regular unit deployed to A'stan wearing MC (not sure if or when they're in theatre) so it'll be interesting to see what pics emerge from their deployment.

Hispeed1 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yup, H&K 416 with 10.5" barrel. @ US SF pics above: are they wearing the EI CIRAS or is that the new Eclipse RBAV? Can't tell from the rear, looks like CIRAS though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't tell from the rear, looks like CIRAS though... Pretty sure that they (at least those in DCU and MC) are sporting Eagle Plate Carrier with Cummerbunds... you can see the darker tan-coloured elastic on the rear of the shoulder straps which is a dead giveaway.

I was just about to mention the EI plate carrier with cumberbund, but the shoulder strap pad cover thing was throwing me off... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
