You could be right, my info on the ADF is very
sparse and sketchy, I was long out even before the concept came
about, so not too familiar with it.
And the CDOs are… well… the NSF side, I’d call them
bludgeons rather than SF. They act more like heavy assault troops
than infiltration/special ops units. If anything, they’re more like
our version of the Marines, just airborne. In fact, there are
similarities, like the fact that a CDO unit is ~25%
overstrength compared to it’s equivalent army unit in other
formations, probably to be able to take more casualties, same as
the Marine vs Army units in the US.
I thought the guards were heavy assualt troops,and prehaps
the amour inf or the mechanized inf 1sir would be considered heavy
assualt troops.
Always had the impression that CDOs are light infrantry doing
infiltration/special ops and there is always this sense of aura
that they carry around them ..................
