    non sf british soldier with 5.56 ar15 pattern rifle??

    guys,

    in the link below at 1:00, a tribute to the light dragoons, it shows a uk soldier with a compact ar15 pattern rifle with acog and red dot set up, can anyone elaborate on his unit - do some of the LD use ar15's??

    Looks like a close protection type with a diemeco C8!
    If you are able,
    save them a place
    inside of you
    and save one backward glance
    when you are leaving
    for the places they can
    no longer go.
    Be not ashamed to say
    you loved them,
    though you may
    or may not have always.
    Take what they have left
    and what they have taught you
    with their dying
    and keep it with your own.
    And in that time
    when men decide and feel safe
    to call the war insane,
    take one moment to embrace
    those gentle heroes
    you left behind.

    It's just a chad vid with someones pics and a load of generic Herrick phots. I'd guess the lad you are referring to is a Bde Commanders bodyguard (usually RMP).

    Also don't forget that kit is often swapped with the septics, Danes and others to pose on piccies...

    They aren't allowed Paraclete RAV or yank helmets anymore, Mk7 and Osprey 4 now.

    They have different things because they are funded in part by the FCO and are included in some of the DSF kit buys.

    When did the Green teams lose the Paraclete? They still had it on H13?

    He is definitely a Light Dragoon and part of The Jordanian Armed Forces Special Forces Liaison Team. They were issued M4's along with a hybrid mix of US/UK kit and deployed in HUMVEE's. They conducted long range patrols in and around AO's ROBIN and JUNO.

    Ooh jobs for the boys, given that HMK Abdullah is Colonel of the Light Dragoons and ex-special forces.
