surely you would assign a unit(s) to the NBG instead of individuals?
you can't expect it all to come together if you have snipers from the four winds of Dublin, Monaghan, Galway and Cork who have never ever worked with each other but are sent to the NBG just because they hold the right mil quals?
the Irish DF have some great highly skilled guys - let them work, live and operate in the teams at home that they will be required to if / when they deploy.Last edited by RoyalGreenJacket; 24 September 2010, 23:39.

The majority of people in the NBG are from a specific bde, AFAIK our contribution is an ISTAR coy.... there is no ISTAR coy in the DF. It is a ad-hoc formation for a period of 6-9 months (including training)
Snipers come from Infantry.... possbily Arty
UAV is an Arty asset
AMSTAR is a Cavalry asset .... possibly Arty
RGJ we have had this discussion before!

that was for entire battalions, i was just hoping that something like this would give the Irish DF the scope to start working in formed units.
oh well - at least it is something for the Irish DF to get their teeth into and will do well in no doubt.
good luck to all those involved, it seems a very interesting role you have adopted.
