In some Corps, regular ANA wear some weird looking digital camo while the Commandos (ANA SOF) wear the old tri-colors. I think the guys training the commandos are the ones wearing the tri-colors. Also, there was this article about MARSOC ordering tri-colors from Crye last year (http://kitup.military.com/2011/08/marsoc-adopts-woodland-crye-precision-uniform.html)
yea that does explain it from a tactical standpoint, just weird seeing the tri-color's coming back in after all the services were so keen on going all digital pattern, but hey circumstances on the ground! the ANA I worked with over in Afghan all wore tri-color though and only one was commando rated, but still like you said "in some Corps" not all. ah well, still great pics!
General Purpose Forces. Everybody got multicam, so what do you do? You ring out a uniform that nobody is suppose to wear anymore because it got phased out 5+ years ago.
His documentary on the Dutch Special Forces is on Youtube and has a lot of that combat footage and "Jack". It's been out for a while, so I wonder if this is going to be additional footage?
"Jack" is clearly a American, so was he imbedded with a joint SOF team or are you referring to another documentary he did? Either way I'd like to see both but would deff be interested in seeing the one on American SOF. Last one I saw was a NatGeo one which was interesting but incredibly sad and tragic with how it ended.
I can't find part 1 of the doc (Zulu 09:11), but this is part 2, and it shows "Rudy" a US Special Forces soldier, who is working jointly with the Dutch Special Forces (KCT). It's a pretty good documentary if you don't mind subtitles. It ends with the battle and also, briefly, shows American SF taking part in it as well. I'm almost positive, it is the aforementioned documentary. I was just curious, if he was doing another one, with more footage of the ODA who was working with the KCT?
Good video...I love it. Some moment's make me reminds me of my time in Afghanistan (probably and some of you here), especialy part of working with Afghan ANP guys . I hope it's not repost
That ODA got in a fuck load of trouble a few years back. I think the team daddy turned out not even to be a legit SFer and there was some serious weapons smuggling going on.
Apparently he faked some documents and knew the Company SMAJ or some such thing and it was never looked into real hard. It was a NGSF ODA. One real fucked up event after another.
This still boggles my mind. I mean, the team chief is supposed to be the most knowledgeable guy on the team, right? Wouldn't someone, at some point, take notice when some of the stuff the guy said didn't sound right? Or maybe his lingo was off? It seems like any number of things would've raised a bunch of red flags for something like this.
Kellerman was slick that is for sure. I never met the guy but know other team guys who had known him for years and they had no clue. The documents he provided were immaculate and since he supposedly attended the SFQC prior to ATRRS coming on line there was no digital records to give him away. It happens... As for the video(s), the need for attention that some SF guys display when posting these videos on the internet astounds me. The look at me, look at me mentality or display of such should get guys RFS'd and sent to mother Army ... Crip
