Hundreds of Doruma residents gathered at the village center as John Holmes, top UN diplomat for humanitarian affairs, paid a visit to the Congolese village near the border with Sudan, on 09 February 2009. Some 18,000 refugees have fled to Dorouma following a wave of coordinated attacks by the Lord's Resistance Army, a brutal rebel group known for cutting off the lips of its victims and abducting children to work as *** slaves. The rebels have recently been pushed out of Uganda into neighboring Congo, where they established a base in a national forest not far from Dorouma, a town of several thousand people.

Looks like an IR chemlight to me. That kid has to be thrilled. "This thing doesn't even glow!"

Not the IR chem lights we use. Ours are a deep purple in color, we use all kind of colors this one in the picture appears to be orange or red.

I'm surprised that the AF guys are wearing mulitcam. I would have expected ACU, just for continuity.

Is it me, or does that look like a CF Milcot in the back? Maybe the JTF were there too. Hopefully someone has some pics of them.

CF aren't the only ones that use chevys. Probably a USAF CUCV2 judging by the look of the bush guard.

Hey all, my first post :oops:
But is it me or can the end of the tank's barrel still be damaged by floating ice

IMHO, It means to avoid water proof river crossing kit from tearing up(Installed bottom of barrel).
