Looking for all Pathfinder in SG and round the world.
-
Hello. Looking for new and seasoned Pathfinder and like to hear what ops you had been and what happened during the ops.
LRRP's and LRP's are welcome as well. -
Since Pathfinders are an elite force, I dont think they would freely discussed their mode of operations and they method of training..

when are we going to discussed anything on the training? It wat OPS had they gone and wat happen during than.. 
-
btw training will be almost the same for all pathfinder, it just the types of gadget and transport may be diff.

It's more of a qualification than a force.Originally posted by ZermanAUG3:Since Pathfinders are an elite force, I dont think they would freely discussed their mode of operations and they method of training..
LRRP here - what about you, Joshua? -
My apologies, Pathfinders are more as an elite unit. MAF have Pathfinders or Pandura as they called here for the 10th Brigade. Pathfinders are more than just soldiers using different gadgets and weapons. These guys, in a group usually of4 men, would skydive from high altitude, in hostile territories, and establish an LZ and protect it at all cost. So, I reckon their training is close to special forces training.

Hello Gedanken, I am a (NS) Pathfinder since 98, still active and long way to go, not like LRRP only go for 6 years. We are the oni one outside CDO that were trained in Pathfinder in CTW in 97.Originally posted by Gedanken:It's more of a qualification than a force.
LRRP here - what about you, Joshua?
Nice to see your posting here. You still in the force? We may have been to the same Ex b4.
Any OPS experiences to share here? Types of problems face during the OPS? Any close encounter. If not Ex. will be find as well.
I know because of sensitivity, you need not be too technical. I think I know what you want to say. -

4 is just to small when a big scale landing is going to take place for a LZ, maybe for a LS still OK lar.
BTW for your info, we not oni operate LS or LZ. -
Josh, there weren't any non-CDO Pathfinders in my day - that shows how old I am!Originally posted by Joshua1975:Hello Gedanken, I am a (NS) Pathfinder since 98, still active and long way to go, not like LRRP only go for 6 years.

Our Pathfinders got their qualifications when they attended the US Ranger course.
Nah, my LRRP days were pretty uneventful, apart from sitting around in Brunei spying on a colonel and two majors poking about the bushes for an M16 that an OCS cadet lost. -

Ya talking abt your time that there ain any non-CDO PF around I think not so. I think my RSM is US PF trained or that is another WO. My RSM is US Ranger train and I oni saw his Air Assault, Air born, but PF badge can't remember. Anyway during than the GDS unit or i should say the air side is not ready for such OPS yet. When it is time they get us over to CDO CTW for the training one reason is cut cost. No badge for us than. I heard the design is out waiting for approval I think.
Talking abt the air group... the fix wing gp 
most of the time it just a disappointment. Loads never land on sport not even within the DZ buffer but on trees -
loads never land on spot and not on sport.
loads dun land on spot is navigator never calculate properly mah..
u pathfinder too....
i'll be sure always...wink winkOriginally posted by Joshua1975: Peace time training always look like this.

on spot or not doesn't matter, but it went out of DZ not even within the buffer zone 3 method in all and 2 excute by ground and 1 by computer on wing, so where is the navigator in this picture now? you sure what you are talking not?
If you are trying to tell where the problem come from, sure it not from the navigator, if he is wrong you will not see the bird at all -
don't have any pathfinder that's outside cdo during my time.Originally posted by Joshua1975:Hello Gedanken, I am a (NS) Pathfinder since 98, still active and long way to go, not like LRRP only go for 6 years. We are the oni one outside CDO that were trained in Pathfinder in CTW in 97.
i'm lrrp. we done our company operational ex in thailand during our 1st in-camp back in 97.
during that time we also had a combine ex with the thai army sf.
at first they just look at us as boys from a comfortable city who's not capable of performing ops.
but eventually we prove to them our capabalities and had earn their respect. -
Good day lion02, ya i know dun have. we oni went in 96. together with 2 of CDO guys the couse was around or less than 20.Originally posted by lion02:don't have any pathfinder that's outside cdo during my time.

During my ex in Thailand in 1992, the Thai SF boys said we were crazy for walking for the distances that we covered. I suppose we could take that as a compliment!Originally posted by lion02:i'm lrrp. we done our company operational ex in thailand during our 1st in-camp back in 97.

talking about the walking distance, at first we're not used to the hot weather there, and we're slow in the day, and they're laughing at us.Originally posted by Gedanken:During my ex in Thailand in 1992, the Thai SF boys said we were crazy for walking for the distances that we covered.

but when the night comes, with all the gears, we're able to travel 8km without stop, only at times we've to wait for the thai sf guys to chatch up... our turn to laugh....
their 3 men become a company........ -

Eh guys,pardon my ignorance.But wat is PF,LRRP,LRP and Strike?Wat are their roles and how are they used?Thanks
-
PF: Pathfinders, in charge of locating and securing Landing Zones (LZ), Landing Sites (LS) and/or Drop zones (DZ), prior to the arrival of main body of airborne forcesOriginally posted by SpecOps87:Eh guys,pardon my ignorance.But wat is PF,LRRP,LRP and Strike?Wat are their roles and how are they used?Thanks
LRRP: Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol
LRP: Long Range Patrol
Strike: Commando company designated for assault function
Essentially, LRP and LRRP are the same. Their primary function is to provide reconnaissance for G2, not often used as assault element. -

Hmmm... SpecOps87 why you dun know when your nick say you are SpecOps???
NVM...
PF ~ Pathfinder
LRRP ~ Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol.
LRP ~ Long Range Patrol.
Strike ~ The word say it, to strike, attack...
Roles for PF are something like key master, open up doors
LRRP are like serveyor doing surveys
LRP are ppl taking a walk down the park
Strike are like street gang causing havoc
On how are they used, sor lee, nothing much can be said here
from the role they are in, I think you can visualise somehow rite
