Yup, that rumour is doing the rounds, but as yet, it is just that - rumour"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home.

Heres a prediction
there will be a rake of RDF Units wadied this year-
however the Unit with the CO who has the imagination to say fkuc the 81 and stick the Javelin up your arse
I am going to train my lads on how to out engineer the engineers will survive.
The CO should have the imagination, ambition and balls to train his troops in the use of RIBS- Canoes- Rowboats etc
his Unit should be able to build anti flood fortifications at a world beating level,
if his troops know how to use snow ploughs- search for lost kids- and do all the stuff that is needed when there is an emergency
along with the normal weapony type stuff (that will never be used)
then that Unit will survive and maybe even expanded.
There are 6 billion and 12 reasons why this wouldnt work and 3 billion and 2 start with- hasnt been done before
3 billion and 4 start with - we wont be allowed-etc etc
and 3 reasons beginging with my CO is a baldy headed twat of a God botherer whose tac aide says - breathe in- breathe out and blink your eyes.Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

And the one reason................
The CD already do that, without weapons which is even more cost effective and we are not allowed to step on their toes!!!!

Everyone is accountable for their actions under the law. If a private company used firearms for the business of security they would be no less accountable than a soldier or a Garda.Originally posted by Cryos View Post"The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."Comment

Is thereanything ,other than mandays etc,preventing HHs "CO" from having his exemplary unit attend at local floods/forestfires/person searches/large crowd events wearing "Army Reserve" hivis and getting on with ATCA and becoming a regular,reliable and effective player in such matters.Comment

A formal request from the local authority or an Garda Siochana.Is thereanything ,other than mandays etc,preventing HHs "CO" from having his exemplary unit attend at local floods/forestfires/person searches/large crowd events wearing "Army Reserve" hivis and getting on with ATCA and becoming a regular,reliable and effective player in such matters.
Quite straight forward and has been requested in the past.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safeComment

RDF involvement with anything is no problem, all you need is correct sanction. It is all in regs no problem at all.
I fully take HH's point though, and given the cutbacks there is some avenue for saying that it is ours to specialize."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"Comment

The local authority/local GS needs to know that the resource (the RDF) is actually available to be tapped into (not all Chief Superintendants would have regular contact with the DF).
It is Bde HQ that tasks personnel (including units) / resources, so therefore the request for RDF personnel could see PDF tasked.
I'm undecided on the whole put on hi-vis thing - it is good for the community spirit thing but does it portray a professional organisation?Comment

Thanks all for replies.Hi vis good for PR and scene command.Forget about local authority call out,they will prioritise deployment of CD which is a conumdrum as this is a DoD asset.Unless you have a contact in GS unlikely to get a call from them and if going through Batt then everything gets lost in translations.
The "CO" may well have to rock up informally and est a credible service.Comment
