while they also wanted it to decrease the possibility of collateral damage with a smaller and controlled blast radius

Then they just forgot what they wanted and said "Aight, now make it have the kill radius of a 40mm grenade again"

The 24th STS provides special operations airmen for the Joint Special Operations Command, including Pararescuemen, Combat Controllers, Special Reconnaissance, and Tactical Air Control Party personnel. They are the Air Force's Tier 1 unit, and 24th STS members are provided as enablers to the Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (Delta Force) and the Navy's Special Warfare Development Group, or DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6) due to their specific skill sets. As such, 24th STS members are also trained in conducting classified and clandestine operations such as direct action, counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, hostage rescue, and special reconnaissance.

A Long Range Desert Group Patrol halted while David Lloyd Owen scours ahead with binoculars, 1942.

In Verona, in 1961, a retired Captain in the Italian Army, Cesare Berciolini, was reminiscing with colleagues about his adventures in North Africa during WWII. He ask his son, Giogio, to get his uniform which he had carefully kept and wanted to show his friends. Giogio brought out the uniform and told his father that he found a roll of film in one of the pockets. On reflection he remembered how he acquired the film.

On Sept 14th 1942, when the remnants of the Commando forces had been captured at Tobruk, this officer noticed that a one of the captured British officers (Lt. Graham Taylor) had a camera. He confiscated the film but returned the camera, and the photos were eventually published long after the war ended.

#

I was wondering, in 1985 they started making the notorious night desert parka which was allegedly anything but effective against third generation NODs, but was there ever a night woodland parka?

mossy epoch
#

Temperate coloued camouflage tends to do well at night anyway. DPM, M81 things like that will naturally darken as the light fails.

#

However if said camouflage isn’t IRR it’ll be just as bright as normal desert gear when viewed with NVDs

edgy lodge
#

You're saying that since it's easier to camouflage yourself in a forest than in the desert, there was never considered to be a need for an equivalent parka to be used in woodland areas?

#

If you look up the night desert parka you'll see it's dark green with light green squares. It was designed to counteract older gen, light enhancing NVGs.

mossy epoch
#

Woodland gear is usually issued as IRR (Infra Red Resistant)

#

So it blends in better when viewed with a passive IR viewing device

edgy lodge
#

Oh, although it takes some effort to dig up information beyond "it was used in the first Gulf War", IR imaging is mentioned in the description I could find of the pattern's purpose. So I suppose woodland uniforms would be issued with IRR coating at least from 1985 on.

#

I suppose the closest to what I'm looking for would be an M51 parka?

#

Not quite 🤔

mossy epoch
#

I’m not quite sure with that, most of my experience is working with DPM, DDPM or MTP. The general gist of it translates to other camouflages but I wouldn’t be able to go in to specifics because I never used anything other than the above

edgy lodge
#

Ah, an ECWCS parka would probably be what I'm after. I'm basically looking for some form of coat that would make a chronologically correct cold weather jacket to try and model for Reforger.

I would think so, but I've noticed that ORBAT in the field can get pretty ad hoc, so I wouldn't worry too much about getting it exactly by the book. It's a SOCOM unit, so you could invent a temporary air task force based on any reasonable comparable unit for a "deployment."

I have questions about self guided/seeking missiles: How do anti ship only lock on ships, how do anti ground only lock on ground vehicles and how do anti aircraft ones only lock on aircraft?
If an aircraft is grounded but with engine all and all that will it be locked on by AA or AG missiles?
If a tank is somehow high in the air with engine on and everything will it be locked on by AA or AG missiles?
If a tank or an aircraft is floating on water by what will it be locked on by?

placid bronze
main terrace
#

Ok

#

So it depends?

placid bronze
#

Yes. Regarding a tank in the air: strictly speaking, AGMs will also lock on to aircraft if they are told to. What makes them unsuitable for attacking aircraft is usually a matter of unsuitable warhead design, an limited ability to manoeuvrer to engage targets moving at high speeds and changing direction

#

Longbow versions of Hellfire missiles for example (the one with a MMW radar seeker): It was designed to be fired from the AH-64D Apache and destroy tanks using a tandem HEAT warhead, but nowadays there are versions launched by ground vehicles used for air-defence by giving the missile a blast warhead with a fragmentation sleeve and optimising the seeker and guidance software (how best to fly efficiently to reach a target) to also engage aircraft.

okay, pretty niche question.

Does anyone know how the JSDF's nametags work? So far I've seen them use 3 different tags. One had their company/unit + their name, another had only their name and the last one only had their name but romanized. I assume the last one's only used on deployments abroad

this is during a Ranger qualifying exercise (or so I believe) Worn on the left shoulder

Seems like, uh, JGSDF didn't have any rules about those nametags except just equip it, till R. 2 (2020). Might've wrong but according to this: http://www.clearing.mod.go.jp/kunrei_data/f_fd/2019/fz20200306_00203_000.pdf

Also the picture (1st Airborne Brigade chief Wakamatsu) has the same nametag, so I assume so. Again I might've wrong, but at least heard JGSDF doesn't have any rules where to equip the nametag in the rules, at least a few years ago (according to a Yahoo! Answers answer)

The Navy RHIB doesn't use outboards. It's got 2 inboard engines that run a water jet system. I see the controls for the buckets next to the throttles, I'm assuming that is the control of the up/down motion of them. That leaves the switches to the right of the levers still up in the air.

CIA operative Billy Waugh (Left) with US Army Special Forces Green Beret ODA 594 in Afghanistan, 2001. William D. Waugh (born December 1, 1929) is a former United States Army Special Forces soldier and Central Intelligence Agency paramilitary operations officer who served more than 50 years between the U.S. Army's Green Berets and the CIA's Special Activities Division.

He served in the Korean War before joining the US Army Special Forces in 1954, and also fought in the Vietnam War when Waugh arrived in South Vietnam with his ODA in 1961, and began working alongside Civilian Irregular Defense Groups (CIDGs) there, as well as in Laos.

In 1965, while participating in a commando raid with his CIDG unit on a North Vietnamese Army encampment near Bong Son, Binh Dinh province, Waugh's unit found itself engaged with much larger enemy force than anticipated. Expecting only a few hundred NVA, it was discovered that a force of Chinese regulars had joined the NVA Elite; combining for almost 4,000 soldiers. While he and his men attempted to retreat from the battle, Waugh received numerous severe wounds to his head and legs. Unconscious, he was taken for dead by NVA soldiers and left alone. Despite his injuries, with the assistance of his teammates Waugh was safely evacuated from the combat zone. He spent much of 1965 and 1966 recuperating at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C., eventually returning to duty with 5th Special Forces Group in 1966. He received a Silver Star and a Purple Heart (His 6th) for the battle of Bong Son.
At this time Waugh joined the Military Assistance Command-Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG). While working for SOG, Waugh helped train Vietnamese and Cambodian forces in unconventional warfare tactics primarily directed against the North Vietnamese Army operating along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

#

Through his service in Vietnam he would work with the CIA and was in Libya and the Marshall Islands during the late Cold War and afterwards on intelligence gathering in Sudan on terrorist leaders Carlos the Jackal and Osama bin Laden.

At the age of 71, Waugh participated in Operation Enduring Freedom from October to December 2001 as a member of the CIA's Northern Alliance Liaison Team led by Gary Schroen which went into Afghanistan to work with the Northern Alliance to topple the Taliban regime and Al Qaeda at the Battle of Tora Bora.

from the article they mention Harpoon missile and Exocet missile which are both anti ship missiles. I think those are the ones we see in the video.

Laser guided bombs were seen in mounted on airplanes in pics but no video of them being used but if you were going to use a normal bomb in the anti shipping role laser guided bomb would be preferred over a GPS style guidance(speculation on my part since I never worked in targeting)

a F-35B was also seen with a mounted gun pod, I don't know how common that is as a loadout or if it would put on just for the SINKEX.
