New nightmare unlocked...

Although this clip shows special forces type troops, this kind of terrain, gear and travel is pretty standard for ski troops in Norway. We'd move in Coy, up to BGp level, snakes like this. You can move much faster, with bigger loads, than on foot. We usually had 3 x BV 202/206 per company, with...

So where does the RCMSAR/CAF responsibility divide exist on the water, if there is one? I really have no idea. As a potential 'customer' it just piques my interest ;)
