OICW is a magazine load. 6 20mms per mag i believe.

It makes sense to have a small army of professionally trained soldiers. They will perform far better than NS soldiers when things get a little hot. Furthermore, you are right, Govt can put NS soldiers to do peacekeeping jobs. Just look at Somalia, had SAF NS soldiers been there, I wouldn't even start speculating what kind of causalties SAF will suffer.

An Active Deployment Force definitely makes a lot of sense in military terms. The tough thing is to get people willingly to sacrific lives for their country.

Does anyone has any info as to the make up of the ADF ? It is like the combined armed division like 3rd/6th/9th Div?

Last I heard, there was active recruitment from all over the place, new soldiers going into, completed BMT, and from regulars from various formations etc etc. I gather the pay for ADF would be rather lucrative too, otherwise, it would be hard to get people to make such a sacrifice. I’m sure you guys can check out with ur COs about the ADF. Heh. =)
