3 companies; 104, 105 and 108 COTRCIE (COmmando TRoepen CompagnIE - Commando Troops Company)

the exact numbers aren't really published but i'd say 3*80 men = 240 men... (240 shooters, so without support, support is an additional company) (thats an educated guess btw)

just the C8's, the C7's are for regular infantry...

Look good, friends on the left side there are two german soldiers from either KSK the Fallschirmjagers or Fernspaher .Which is it??????
This is not strange in Afganistan German and Dutch troops where a combined force.
And before KSK existed Dutch commando's used to exercise with the German fernspahkompagnies, here is a link.

Four Compagnies: 104, 105, 108, StafStafVerzorgingsInstructie.
With support, about 300 guys. There are plans to make another compagnie.

That picture was published in RAIDS at least 8-10 years ago in an article about the KCT.

They did another one on the KCT about a year and a half ago.

Just the CT teams to my knowledge. Haven't seen anyone else using it. Maybe DEMSPEC knows better.

In the February 2001 issue of RAIDS (#177), there is an article about the KCT with several pictures of the CT team of the KCT using FN P90
DEMSPEC
03-27-2004, 02:09 PM
Yes, the FN P90 is used only by KCT CT teams. And the Dutch Marine Corps national CT team (BBE) but the BBE also use HK MP5's
