what is sniper doing for scout ahead? what role are they in now? scouting or niping?

you so bad mood for what? Frankly, I have no idea. My friend in HQ Commando didn't tell me what snipers actually did. but from what he said I think he was implying that sniper still stay infront of the enemy. Joshua1975 if you know better can you elaborate?

nothing i can elaborate, you need to read back. primary role and secondary role.

LRRP to check enemy reinforcement?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think you misunderstood my meaning. Reinforcement as in general enemy movement in a specific area. Not 1 platoon walking down the road.

correct, and my question to you know is how far deep are they in? do you know? repeat again, LRRP have more importance role than to recce in SAF context today.

:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UAV for what?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no idea what level UAV will be used? Maybe batallion level. When I mentioned LRRP I was talking about Division level.

again, the AO? how big do you really think the AO will be for Div lel? How far in are LRRP into enemy line? LRRP operate at Div lel at Y distance, with UAV what distance will it be? 2 time Y or 3 time Y

:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and what are the scout for?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I was correct in saying UAV is btn level, then I think the UAV would be aurmenting the scouts.[/i]

??? read the above. distance.

there is a difference in being ranger trained and in a ranger regiment in the us

not all ranger train soldiers are in the ranger regiment..

the ranger course is a 9 week long combat leadership course, conducted in three three-week phases

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_School

those from the 75th ranger regiment have to go thru Ranger indoctrination programme

The term "Army Ranger" is reserved solely for someone who serves within the 75th Ranger Regiment. A popular phrase within the Ranger Regiment regarding this issue is: "The tab is a school, the scroll is a way of life" (the scroll being the insignia of the 75th Ranger Regiment). Another saying is Tab Wearers and Scroll Bearers. You wear the tab, but it's an honor to bear the scroll. A person who passes Ranger School is considered "Ranger Qualified", but is not a member of the Regiment, and thus not a Ranger.

tab

scroll

Oh so that is wad pathfinder do.......... hmm........ isn't this like the TAG(terminal air guidance) platoon in the GDS battalion?

Btw, regarding the ranger tab, I heard there is a golden one which is the US one and Red one which is local one. I mean the backing is black, the words are coloured.
Last time I was still NSF, our OC, HQ CSM, S3 are all ranger trained. But according to our OC, all of theirs is US one. He say that the local ranger course is more siong than the US one, in terms of the POW treatment which is part of their course. But never the less, I really respected my OC as he is damn power one. That time Navex in Brunei, he and the coy 2IC tell us to rest on our own while they themselves when to find the check points at night with no NVG!!! Dunno how he did it one. Another one is our BN S3. That time he saw our ppls clearing Lalang using parang. Then he demo his way of clearing vegetation. He literally open up his arms and laid on the lalang, which is a damn efficient method. In fact we cleared the vegetation faster using his method.
