So these guys are sailing from coast to coast in "Riverine"patrol boats with CAPDAT Cammo and all that gear? Those boats look like the ones that are used for SEAL insertion

In open sea with fast patrol boats?

Looks the guards have an effective an patrol system.

American arrogance, they seem to think the world revolves around them. Same sort of rhetoric when El-Chapo was recaptured, similar thing we see here.

They probably wanted to draw a reaction from the Iranians, seeing that they'd already accused the iranians of shooting rockets at their general area a few weeks back.

All he is saying is that:
1) your troops were given 72 hours to run back to SA.

2) you never achieved any aim in CAR.

3) you soldiers were so scared that they left without some equipment/weapons just like they did in Burundi.

4) etc

there are parts of gulf of persia or arabia that are only 30 kilometer wide,thats why most Gulf countries allow US to station its navy and not only US but france,britain,even recently qatar invited turkey to build a base . in their for fear of an invasion by the much bigger Iranian armed force

Turkey set to build a military training center in Somalia

Turkey has started to build a military training base in Somalia as part of its pledge to build up the national army for the Somali government, a senior Turkish diplomat has said.
Emel Tekin, the head of the Foreign Ministry department responsible for Somalia, stated that Turkey is establishing a military base in Mogadishu, a first for Turkey, to train Somali soldiers. She said the initiative is part of a framework agreement between the two countries on military cooperation.
“This military training facility will also be an important base for [providing] military training for the entire [continent of] Africa,” she added.
The Turkish diplomat's remarks were delivered during deliberations of Parliament's Defense Commission, where the agreement on defense industry cooperation between Turkey and Somalia was approved on Dec. 9, 2015. The agreement was signed on Jan. 25, 2015, in Mogadishu.

@Henry240, I've noticed a sharp decline in the use of the DICON vests by troops on operations. Is it due to poor quality of what?

There were a couple controversies in late 2014 and early 2015, so the army suspended orders until defects were fixed. However the company is back and pushing hard for orders.


As you can see from the photos, the Air force QRF and Navy SBS still use their battle vests.
