This is someone from this new unit. I can see that a lot of questions have popped up here but none answered, so here's the answers to anyone who's interested in re-reading this 3-day old thread...
1. I'm not at liberty to disclose anything more than what the media has reported.
2. We are through-and-through a combat unit. Wearing civi for urban ops is but one of the stuff that we do, on top of the usual military training everyone goes through, i.e. SOC, IPPT, CCT etc.
3. We are (foremost) recce-trained and we were the green beret for parades because we are infantry-trained. We're definitely not LRRPs, and we don't don some silly *pink* berets... Unfortunately, jungle hats are not official headwear for parade, so it's still green berets for now ya?
4. As what the articles have mentioned, what differentiates us from the usual BRCs/scout platoons is the fact that we conduct field trials with new equipment. Once these equipment are deployable, they will be pushed down to the "usual" units, and we'll start to experiment with even newer sensors... A dirty word for this, yup, is guinea pigs...
5. The new camo LBVs have lots of pockets!
If anyone is still showing interest in this thread, I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability, sans any sensitive information. -
Doing a bit of System Engineering is always fun.And the LBVs, definitely better than our old SBO, especially if you have to run.Originally posted by blue_quartz:This is someone from this new unit.

our army is really getting a kick over setting up these "experimental" units huh!? Gotta love that yellow triangle...
btw, do u guys belong to a brigade or smth? Or is that classified... -
Does the new SBO make provision for easeir acess to the magazines? Bcos the old webbing, it is veri tough to to in or fish out a mag from the pouch due to size constraints. I heard the new webbibng is more compact and fitting compared to the old, but it seems to be poor in terms of air ventilating, does this increase chances of heat exhaustion?I heard there is this 3 litres water bag isit, my previous experience with a commercial camel pak is that it leaks easily, so how does the new one fare?

I guess that's classified, but all things being Intelligence, our "big parent" would be Army G2. We don't belong to a brigade.Originally posted by Hellraiza:our army is really getting a kick over setting up these "experimental" units huh!? Gotta love that yellow triangle...

The new LBVs... they look nice but they are definitely much heavier than the standard webing. Haven't tested the water pouch yet, so I can't comment much on its build quality. It's quite "breathable", so I guess it should be ok for people with heat injuries as well. The LBV's magazine holder actually have clips on them instead of velcro, so I guess that makes it harder to reach for the magazines, but it would be easier to pull them out of the holder. -
insignia not nice leh.
heh... -
isn't that mini uav skylark?

So what vocation is it exactly if one wants to sign on as? Signals Specialist? Infantry specialist?

Are you referring to my unit? As mentioned in the press, most of us are recce-trained, so I guess that's one way to go. We don't have any signal or infrantry specs...Originally posted by Shotgun:So what vocation is it exactly if one wants to sign on as? Signals Specialist? Infantry specialist? -
