but isn't it an "unusual" skill for the ARW to practice, how many Air corp helo's are going to get shot down in action?:confused: -
Given that we are moving towards PFP and ERRF type commitments, and of those comitments i think the ARW are explictly mentioned, it may not be an Irish aircraft crew they go in after could be any nation involved. Also it may not be any aircraft crew might be regular troops or another SF team with casualties.Originally posted by mutter nutter (again)

Most SF teams work in 4 man blocks including the ARW. Just wondering how may they deployed to the grounf and if they kept guys in the choppers?Originally posted by mutter nutter (again)

I've moved this portion of the 'Family Day' thread from the AC section to Army as it's not relevant to discussions there."The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."Comment

The four man team worked well during the second world war and borneo. Now because of the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afganistan the SAS changed to a six man team for greater weight of fire and more manpower in patrols.
Its a good idea and glad to see the ARW follow suit.It is only by contemplation of the incompetent that we can appreciate the difficulties and accomplishments of the competent.Comment

Who's to say they followed suit? It's entirely possible that the ARW decided on 6 men per team themselves. Not everybody copies the SAS."The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."Comment

Unless you're a member of the ARW, or got the information officially etc., no.Comment
