    The crusties have gone quiet since the rebels started killing priests and using chemical weapons...


    Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

      how many support bodies etc to keep our bodies in the field?
      I,d imagine something like 3 pln,s inf with coy cmdr etc the rest will be logs
      Armour for infantry is MOWAGs

      I'd imagine a small logs component.

            The current FMR know as Force Headquarters Company is carried out by the Philippines troops since the Austrians pulled out. Their armour is UN supplied, mostly Sisu APC's with a number of M113's and RG32M's also used. AFAIK all the AFVs are unarmed.
            I would say the Irish Inf Gp will bring with it its own Mowag's APC's as well as a number of Mowag CRVs and LTAVs. The usual CSS will be needed.

              I am sure a trip overseas is good for morale, however and its a big however, what will be the rules of engagement , what role will they actually have , dont mind what the UN haedquarters thinks and says say they are supposed to do,
              How will they protect themselves, will they have the capacity to do so if the RoEs say so, etc Its only a few weeks ago that a whole bunch of the Philipinos were held captive etc, Will the Irish just become hostages in a political game like say the early UNIFIL outposts in IDF / SLA controlled areas,
              These questions need to be addressed. The Brass may like it, lots of cushy jobs with allowances in Jerusalem etc so lets be measured in our rersponse.

                    Agreed,

                    As for not doing colonialism The Irish did it for years in other peoples armies.

                    Just think what Executive Outcomes did in Sierra Leone for a fraction of what a much larger and more exspensive UN force could not achieve.

                        Kaiser if you can look at the organisation of 42 Inf Gp going to Lebanon in November, it'll give you an idea what will go to Syria.
