Wonder how the crusties are reacting to this one

Just been reading the comments in the Irish Indo - they range from "Why do we have an army, they re a waste of money" to "Why are they going to protect Israel when they have no combat experience?" with a huge amount of uninformed bollix in between.

Sad thing is, I read very few comments in about 60 on there that was written by anybody who had anything positive to say about this, or seemed to have a clue.

Best of luck to the guys going, it sounds like a tough tour ahead.

is it an inf group going??

Yes. 43 Inf Gp is the designation. 7 Inf Bn will be the lead Bn

I wouldn't expect anything else from begrudging, ignorant commentators.

As regards the vehicles for the mission most if not all will more than likely be redeployed from our unit serving with UNIFIL when that contingent downsizes from a battalion to a company group in november.

Shinners and left wing groups make it their business to swamp social media with their agendas

Did you hear anything about the deploy date?

Yes but dont thinknit is public yet so holding off. Lets just say is is not far away at all

[DeV]

Isn't an Inf Gp (eg KFOR or Cyprus) a Bn minus, ie a HQ/Logs Coy, 1x Inf Coy & Sp Coy ?

Good drills chance to save a few euro

Its normally an Inf Coy, Gp HQ and all the necessary CSS elements needed.

[DeV]

KFORs 28 Inf Gp had 213 personnel

Overseas units are organised to suit the mission requirements. No two missions are the same.

For now anyway. The future is different.

[SwiftandSure]

Best of luck to the lads heading to the Golan Heights, that'll be a fruity deployment.

May they all stay safe and return home unscathed.

From last year but gives some info

[RoyalGreenJacket]

Well if the Examiner is to be believed.

We are send 114 UNMOs as part of a Mech Inf unit and it is more about Syria than the Israeli/Syrian border.

The R&C as amended today shows that 43 Inf Gp will have a Coy HQ, 2 x Mech Inf Pl, a Cav Troop, a Tpt section, an MP section, a CIS section, an Ord section and I dont remember seeing it but presumably an Eng and Med sections as well.

All in for 114 pers.

There may be some other elements in the logs trail as well but I was not concerned by them at the time so didn't pay attention to them.

[Goldie fish]

Where will we get the 2nd Mech inf Coy from?
