Actually.. I think it's very true.. A comment which I've heard and feel is extremely appropriate is roughly as follows:Originally posted by decepticon25:Police and Military do things differently, For example a SWAT might storm in a building and will try to arrest the suspect and only shoot when if the suspect if armed and starts to point his weapon on the officers.Military, in the other hand, will go in violently. the threat will always end up with double taps on their heads like in the Princess Gate Affair, SAS troops shot the men even though put their hands up and the blast all the rounds from their MP5's on one of the terrorist who tried to take out a pistol. Jus t my observation though.
the fact that military spec ops are called...means u threw away the chance to negotiate and surrender....Originally posted by Dreamslacker:Actually.. I think it's very true.. A comment which I've heard and feel is extremely appropriate is roughly as follows:
Police Spec Ops are deployed when hostiles are to be captured as far as possible. SOF is deployed for extermination.
they can heliborne but not airborne although they jumped a few itmes to earn the airborne badgeOriginally posted by spacemarine:So when to decide STAR or SOF or NDU go in? If a ship hijack-hostage situation? Send in SOF-NDU if there is extermination or STAR if want prisoners?
I think STAR only good for kidnap, armed robbery, manhunt but as these seldom happen at sea or in planes, therefore STAR have less need for plane and ship storming capabilities. STAR more criminal and SOF more terrorist maybe one way of distinguishing how these 2 function. But I get the point some bros here saying that in terms of capabilities, a bit of redundancy and duplication does not hurt. But what is next for STAR HALO capbilities? That is strething duplication capabilties a bit too far?
depends on the extremity....bombs involved?..send in SOF i guess....terrorists?...send in SOF i guess...Originally posted by spacemarine:So when to decide STAR or SOF or NDU go in? If a ship hijack-hostage situation? Send in SOF-NDU if there is extermination or STAR if want prisoners?
