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
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.

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.

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.

The Minister didn't say an Infantry Group!
