Of course the U.S deploys technicals too ...

Technical Truck Squad, 2nd Platoon, Delta Company-

Yeah, the US Army has a history of not really giving a shit about their people. Joes are expendable

Are those supposed to be OPFOR? The differing models of trucks, along with the "I bought APCs from Brezhnev and all I got was this lousy desert-stripe paintjob" would indicate so...

Or did I just miss the joke.

Definatly OPFOR. 113 gussied up to look like a Soviet era APC, differnt kinds of trucks with haphazard mounts and whatnot. Desert looks like California area. It adds up to be a bunch of guys playing the part of "bad guys" in Technicals.

That's what I figured, too. Opfor at NTC used civilian vehicles back in the day. No reason they wouldn't rig up technicals for training.

[Tetra Grammaton Cleric]

That last pic may have been OPFOR but no US deployed technicals? O Rly?

examples..






Dunno about these awesome rigs though...

I will have to do up my future Taco like this.

Dude in this picture totally looks like a friend of mine:





Just it will be in silver...

Also FWIW, our SAS and 4RAR/2 Commando regiments have used light skinned gun trucks to good effect in Iraq and Afghanistan...




Our Bushmasters our mine protected to the shitter though...

Snow on nearby mountains, canal with running water? It sure ain't Irwin.

S'all good. I tw'eren't being bitchy btw...just haven't had the opportunity to say "O RLY" for a while.

Google found me another article... it says here http://www.army.mil/article/29830/ that they're 11th Armoured Cav Regt and that what we're looking at was a Force on Force for qualification at the National Training Centre.


Anybody know what those Hilux/Tacoma/Navara dealios are in the last two (non Australian post) pics I posted?

Source was Czech but the gear looks very U.S .mil.

Which picture are you looking at? Some of those were in theater the one I was looking at had a gussied up 113 APC and lots of blank firing adapters.

Tetra that's a neat article. I'd like to be with that unit

I was looking at the one with the canal. I have been to NTC six times. If they have a canal it is pretty well hidden.

[jeepinbandtrider]

We're looking at two different pics. I agree the canal and mountains in background with snow pics are not at Irwin.

This is the one I was speaking of
