This quote appears in the 2002 edition of FM 3-97.61 Military Mountaineering and the 2012 TC 3-97.61 Military Mountaineering: "Leaders must understand that each individual has a different metabolism and, therefore, cools down and heats up differently, which requires Soldiers to dress-up and...

There is a multitude of threads on this very subject (search function mate), however, I'll give you the TLDR: All Operator positions are available to PRes NCMs who have reached their occupational function point (you need to be a Cpl to WO to apply for Special Operations Assaulter in the PRes)...

Thank you for the submissions thus far, A friend in the RN who spends a lot of time with the Royal Marines pointed me to a similar publication from NATO, he also pointed me onto a publication by the ADF that is quite similar to how the RN/RMs approach amphibious operations. Thank you, the...

As the title states I am looking for reading material on amphibious operations and forces; the material can range from scholarly publications to personal memoirs. I would prefer it not to be on special forces, however, I am aware that the distinction between special and regular forces was quite...

Kind of like the SFSG role seen across the pond then? But, as I understand it CSOR has moved quite far away from the role it original was envisioned to fill with its establishment; I guess the question is to determine which capabilities / skills (which I believe you defined in another thread...

It'll probably function something like the 1st and 2nd Commando Regiments of Australia's SOCOMD with their direct entry scheme being an accelerated infanteer pipeline with a SF selection preperation course prior to the selection and training course(s). Similarly our premier CT unit, much like...

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend who was in 1/75 for a few years. He was of the opinion that what made the Ranger Battalions (and thus the Regiment) great at their core role (airfield seizure) upon founding and the subsequent Special Operations Direct Action Force role they...

Seems like the RN is on route to (re-)acquiring littoral vessels to enable and support special forces / Royal Marines: Click Here I wonder how this would come about given the money juggling the MoD have been up to as of late and the reductions made to the Royal Marines (and their enabling...

Currently reading through the Mars trilogy, after that I'm looking at rereading through the Dune novels.

There's some offerings from across the pond: Altberg boots in MOD Brown (a whole slew of variants), Hanwag SF LX/GTX Boots again in MOD Brown, and they even have an higher cut Aku Pilgrim in MOD Brown. All of which are highly received, especially the latter two. They are, however, pricey given...

Well then, do as informed earlier to confirm with either your recruiter or unit's recruiting staff, but until you get an email of confirmation/offer of enrollment you do not yet have an official swear in date.

The email you received, was it similar to this: If so, you're set to get sworn in as you were informed per the email.

I'd like to think I grew out of that old handle since I haven't been on here for quite some time, as long as it poses no issues.

Currently reading Cordon and Search: With 6th Airborne Division in Palestine, 1945-48. Prior to that I read The Patrol by Ryan Flavelle, A Handful of Hard Men: The SAS and the Battle for Rhodesia by Hannes Wessels, and The Inside Story of The Special Boat Service by John Parker.

Some OPP officers that toured my school a month back had tourniquets as well.

Anyone have experience with the Suunto Ambit 2? I've heard some good things about the Ambit 2, compared to the Core Black (which was hard to read), and that the ability to make your own apps for the Ambit 2 is pretty neat.
