Docman, you do know that it's possible for non-integrated RDF to have PRRs and NVE, and carry daysacks, right?

I am reliably informed by two of my comrades just back from Chad that the side pooches off the backpack fit onto the side of the daysack, this is what they used for patrols out there. I haven't had a chance to try it but it would make the daysack a lot more usable! As I have previously said on other threads, the one large compartment layout of the daysack is a pain in the **sOriginally posted by Docman View PostCRIME SCENE INSTIGATORComment

Kermit, you have an awful habit of not reading posts and then just repeating what people already said....ie. You see a word, try to show your intelligence by answering what you think is the Q and then show your ignorance by answering a q that has already been answered.Originally posted by kermit
What you said is what I said - CEFO as per the 1991 manual.
The Q I asked was with the issuing of document AAE 04-07 which changed what was defined as CEFO & CEMO and given that AAE 04-07 merely puts on paper what was already common practice, What do you define CEFO as? Given that AAE04-07 doesn't specifically cover PLCE and knowing that DDFT will prob never update it). And given that most Training centres are using the AAE-04-07 document as a modern template.
Please answer the question and stop assuming you know the answer when you haven't even read the Q.

Reduced CEMO is gone. Now you have CEFO, CEMO and a new one called CELO (Light Order) for duties.Comment

Well, When I went Integrated, I had to completely redo most of my admin in the field stuff. Much of what I had used up to then had been suitable for use in the Non-Integrated Reserve. But things changed very quickly. For Integration, my gear now had to be IRR. Purchases were made based on if it had IRR or not - even down to the camo cream I bought. This was never an issue with Non-Integrated RDF. I went from making 3 or 4 Km march into basecamps to suddenly doing 25km marches with Full CEMO and plenty of ammo & ordnance. This meant a radical rethinking of my gear and anything with weight was dropped. Going from having to worry about rain, I suddenly had to start worrying about being completely submerged in water - another radical rethinking of the waterproofing of my gear. And all the ordnance that now had to be carried (and accessed quickly) .... well basically my platoon and I have completely different Admin in the field loads to what we had a year or 2 ago.
ie. No cotton t-shirts allowed - Led to purchase & issue of driflo.
Issue Fleeces & Norwegians were dropped in favour of Snugpacks & Buffalos.
A lot more attention was paid to spending 48hrs+ in the field - more personal hygiene stuff like razors, toothbrush etc.
Everthing had to be compatible with CBRN equipment.
A LOT of ordnance was issued - NVE, ammo, grenades, etc. etc. It was also the first time I was ever issued a shovel for entrenching .... and used it.
One problem with it - ARW (by their nature) are tasked with LRRPs & work a lot without support from Logs etc. Hence their gear has to up to that task. I wouldn't carry much in the way of rations in my CEFO asOriginally posted by HavocIRL View PostComment

just back for a bad motor bike accident and got hold of the new IPLS (??) any recommendations on fitting and tips on it use. I know you have to take the main pack to stores to get fitted but not much else. I think it will be a pain having to set it up for both wearing a flaker and when you are not to get a good fit. cheersComment

IPLCS -> Integrated Personal Load Carrying SystemOriginally posted by Dog One View Post
Good to hear you are over your accident, Dog One.
As I am Non Integrated RDF, I wouldn't have a notion about the setup of the
IPLCS. Some of your PDF / Integrated RDF bretheren will no doubt be PM'ing
you with info on this subject very shortly....."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"Comment
