[marktigger]

irish cammo
for a long time the Ranger wing wore british DPM. Whilst the rest of the army wore Green. The new cammo appears to be french.

[Gringo]

Does the Irish Rangers get on with British Forces or is there a lot of tension?

[lambert]

no, the irish and french cam are not the same... They use the same pattern, but have different colors; the irish cam is darker.

it looks like arktis make irish camo? (the irish smocks look like arktis ones...)

[martinexsquaddie]

Met the Irish army on the Border Once seem like a nice bunch of guys. But tactically there main aim was not to be confused for the British army :D. apart form some muppet from HQ frantically shouting over the net Do not engage etc.when we did'nt have the slightest intention of :roll:
The Irish still have a semi-romantic view of the terrorists often refer to them as the Boys which ends as soon as they do more than pose with guns. The guardi and the army have been invovled in various ops against
the IRA with some success. The irish army would'nt want the the North and I for one don't blame them :lol:

Actually the Irish Camo (DPM) is made by a Belgium company called syntex. Not by Arktis at all, they just make imitations

The ARW trained with the British SAS in the 1980s. I remember seeing reports of this in the Irish press at the time. Relations between the two armies are very cordial.

The crack army force, the Ranger Wing, snatched a bronze medal in Bonn, Germany yesterday at the end of a four-day competition for special units from 41 countries around the world.

The competition is a test of skills of special police and military units throughout the world and involves physical, mental, marksmanship and tactical skills.

Their tasks included hostage dramas, obstacle crossing, and water disciplines on the river Rhine.

The Rangers ended up as the leading military team in the event. They recorded one 3rd, four 4ths and never achieved less than 12th in any of the tests.

Other competitors included the GEO from Spain, GSG9 from Germany, GOE Portugal, NOCS Italy (2nd), Royal Dutch Marines, and from South Africa, Sweden and the winning team Cobra from Austria.
The competition has been held every four years since the early 1980s.

Army Rangers rescue 35 civilians held by renegade forces

By Cormac O’Keeffe
IRISH army special forces have secured the release of 35 civilians held captive by violent renegade forces in Liberia.The Defence Forces Army Ranger Wing overwhelmed the militia and released the hostages without any injuries being inflicted.

No shots were believed to have been discharged in the operation.

Many of the civilians were allegedly beaten and raped during their capture by the rebels and were assisted by Ranger medical staff after being freed on Tuesday.

Two senior members of the Government of Liberia (GOL) forces, including Commander “Prince,” were captured. GOL is aligned to the former president Charles Taylor, who is wanted for war crimes.

“The Ranger wing would have received intelligence on these people. They were tipped off by civilians in the area what was happening and were dispatched,” said a Defence Forces spokesman.

He said members of the 40-strong Ranger unit, based in the capital Monrovia, were carried by helicopter to Gbapa, 300 kilometres outside the city, close to the border with Guinea.

“Local civilians reported that there were more than 30 people being held captive against their will by renegade GOL forces, in a 20-foot container near the town of Yekepa,” said the spokesman.

“The Rangers surprised them. There was overwhelming force on the Ranger side. They put themselves in such a position that they managed to apprehend two significant members of the GOL militia.”

The spokesman said the Rangers were conscious of the presence of civilians and luckily no shots were fired.

The civilians were released and medical staff attached to the Ranger wing provided assistance to the people.

“Many of the 35 persons released were brought to the local medical facility for treatment as a result of alleged beatings and rapes inflicted upon them while in custody,” said the spokesman.

The militia, numbering between 12 and 15, including the two leaders, were brought to a local police station, secured by the Rangers.

The defence spokesman said while the Rangers had been deployed in similar operations, this was the first of its type.

“This is the first time there was a significant capture of renegades. It appears these guys were involved in illegal activity; they had detained people, torturing them and that.”

The Ranger unit is part of the Irish contingent to the United Nations Mission to Liberia (UNMIL), which is overseeing the disarmament of 40,000 rebel and government fighters in the west African state.

Defence Minister Michael Smith yesterday congratulated the Ranger unit.

“I am delighted that the brave and decisive action by our troops in UNMIL has led to these people being rescued from a dangerous situation and an uncertain fate,” he said. woot woot :D

Inquiry into Irish role in Congo battle

http://www.rte.ie/news/2004/0511/congo.html

11 May 2004 17:10

The [Irish] Defence Forces are conducting an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding a battle in the Congo in 1961, in which Irish troops held out for five days against a force nearly 20 times its size.

The Minister for Defence, Michael Smith, told the Dáil that a submission on the Battle of Jadotville had been received from a retired army officer, and was being examined by a board of military officers.

Fine Gael's Dinny McGinley, who raised the issue, said that the Irish troops had inflicted 300 casualties, while suffering only seven wounded, and had withstood bombardment from land and air for five days.

But he said their heroism had been airbrushed out of Irish military history.

Mr McGinley added that many of those who had fought in the battle had died, and the rest were not looking for money or compensation, but only for recognition.

Minister Smith said he would try to have the board report as quickly as possible, and there would be no delay in his response.

Irish troops could be sent to Iraq as peacekeepers, says US Ambassador

By Dan Buckley

THE US Ambassador to Ireland indicated yesterday that he would favour Irish peacekeeping troops being sent to Iraq.

Citing Irish success in Lebanon and its current role in Liberia, Mr James C Kenny said such an eventuality would be “a good thing”.

Mr Kenny said: “America does not have all the answers and we would support any constructive help.”

While refusing to be drawn on Irish attitudes to the scandal surrounding US forces in Iraq, he said: “Irish troops have capabilities of peacekeeping and maybe they can be used.”

Mr Kenny was echoing the views of Ike Skelton, a leading Democrat in the US House of Representatives Armed Forces Committee who is anxious to see both Irish and Scandinavian troops become the peacekeepers of Iraq.

However, Mr Kenny said he did not wish to pre-empt the views of the Irish armed forces, and said it was a matter for dialogue between the US and Irish governments.

Mr Kenny, who became US ambassador last October was speaking in Cork after visiting a number of American businesses in the city and was clearly impressed with what he saw.

He said Ireland had enjoyed astounding levels of economic growth, much of it with the help of US investment here which surpassed American business in the whole of China.

“It approaches $42 billion and that is absolutely astonishing and the Chinese are the most surprised. It is a credit to both our countries that this relationship is that positive,” Mr Kenny said.

He said that part of his role as ambassador was to protect that $42bn investment “and make it flourish and continue”.

Despite the end of the Celtic Tiger era, he said investment was continuing to grow and the task now was to consolidate that growth with higher value jobs, aided by growth in third level education.

“Microsoft is a good example. They employ 1,600 people in Dublin and the average salary is €65,000 a year,” he said.

On the broader theme of EU enlargement, Mr Kenny said the new Europe represented an enormous market and opportunity for both US and European business.

*****

I'll give Irish troops being deployed to Iraq two chances.

Bertie Ahern must have had a ****ing heart attack when he heard reports of what Kenny said.

UNOSOM II

In August 1993, for the first time, the Defence Forces sent troops abroad as part of a peace enforcing mission to Somalia. The United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II) was different from other missions that the Defence Forces had been involved in because it was mandated to use force to impose a cease-fire.

The Defence Forces contribution to UNOSOM II consisted of almost 100 personnel comprising a transport company based in Baidoa and personnel in the Force Headquarters.

What makes you say that?

[AMBUSH]

Cause Pres. Bush is asking my boys on the island for military assistance. And he will get it.

[Imshi-Yallah]

He's already got it, we're supporting American interest missions in Liberia and Kosovo, and soon in Bosnia, we dont have the manpower to spare for Iraq unless the IRA decides to disband in the near future.
We have three regular brigades and depot and three reserve brigades but there is still a huge amount of manpower tied up in Aid to the civil power tasks related to terrorism.

[AMBUSH]

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.

Elite Army unit to get four armed helicopters
Don Lavery
8th June 2004
The Irish Independent
********************************

FOUR new armed helicopters are to be used by Ireland's elite soldiers, the Rangers, giving a boost to the country's anti-terrorist capabilities.

It is the first time aircraft have been acquired mainly for use by the Rangers and it also marks the first time Irish helicopters will be armed to support their operations.

Up to now, the Rangers have had to use small Air Corps helicopters, some of them up to 40 years old, but now the force will have large modern helicopters on call.

The move comes amid a continuing security review of Ireland's defence capabilities after the September 11 atrocities, which saw a boost in the strength of the Ranger Wing.

It also reflects the use of the Rangers on dangerous missions like those in East Timor and Liberia where helicopters proved invaluable for inserting and extracting small Special Forces teams.

Such tactics would also be used by the 40-strong Ranger unit promised by the Government to the European Rapid Reaction Force.

According to documents sent to helicopter manufacturers vying for the contract, the four helicopters will have a primary tasking of training and operating with the Rangers. They will each be able to carry two four-man teams.

the Royal Irish Regiment still wear Caubeens in the first Bn and wore them in the Gulf although strictly speaking they are ment to wear Rifle Green Berets. With the Caubeen as parade headress. The 4/5bn Royal Irish Rangers (V) also wear the caubeen. And it is worn by pipers of the Irish Guards and Irish Pipers with the cavalry.
the old 107 brigade which was the TA brigade in Northern Ireland tried to persuade TA units in the Provance to adopt it for their officers/NCO's. As 107 was a Royal Irish Ranger dominated orginisation this was understandable but sensibly the CO's of the other TA units told the rangers where to shove hat ridiculous(ie the caubeen)

[marktigger]

love all the new Irish army kit but am a little puzzled are you expecting trouble? either coming south or going North?

They are all units of the British Army,not the Irish Army.

[marktigger]

yep but there was question about the wearing of the caubeen in the british army was their not?

at least the Royal Irish Regiment has been ring fenced in the next round of amalgamations

Call for increase in Army's Rangers
Conor Lally

The Department of Defence is considering proposals to increase the Army's elite Ranger unit in response to the worsening global security situation since September 11th, 2001.

Currently the Ranger unit numbers almost 100, but the Defence Forces are lobbying the Minister for Defence, Mr Smith, to increase numbers to 120.

The proposal first came from senior Rangers. Officials at Defence Forces' headquarters, at Infirmary Road, in Dublin, are backing the plan and have lobbied the Minister on the issue. However, a spokesman for the Defence Forces said a formal proposal had not yet been drawn up.

He said the expansion plans had been mooted in response to the heightened threat to global security and a possible attack on a number of foreign embassies in Dublin, including the US, British and Israeli embassies.

While the current review of the size of the unit also included a review of its weaponry, the spokesman said it was unlikely any new weapons would be introduced.

The Rangers are equipped with a wide variety of weapons, most of which are used by international Defence Forces including the British and German armies. These include the German HK33 and HK53 automatic rifles, the MP5 sub-machine gun, the Swiss made Sig P226 pistol and the British AI96.308 Accuracy International sniper system.

A selection course for entry into the Ranger unit began at the Curragh, Kildare, yesterday. Around 40 serving soldiers have put themselves forward for membership of the specialised unit. They will undergo an intensive four-week selection programme, from which three or four will be chosen for a further six months of training.

Traditionally just a handful of new members are taken into the unit every year, meaning a major recruitment drive would need to be undertaken if Ranger numbers were to be increased to 120 in the short to medium term.

The ranger wing is made of an elite, specially trained group of troops which undertakes the Army's most dangerous missions. Most recently they were the first Irish troops on the ground in Liberia, where around 400 Irish soldiers are currently serving in the UN's peace enforcement mission.

As well being the State's premier military unit, the Rangers are also trained to deal with anti-terrorist urban conflict situations, such as the hostage-taking witnessed in Russia last week. They are also trained in parachuting, combat diving, small boat handling and mountaineering.

Typical Minister Smith :fork: , after 9/11 he promised us that he`d increase the Rangers size to 250 and they`d get a massive boost in funding............... 3 years later, he`s thinking of increasing the size by 20. I cant wait until he gets thrown out in a few weeks.

ya, but that was bs, up untill sep last year the wing only comprised 75 men, so the 250 mark was a little, "optimistic", and I should have been one of them damn it :fork:

The British army has several "Irish regiment's", it's a throwback to the Empire day's when the Iris made up about 30% of the BA, although alot of Irishmen still serve in the British army

Light infantry I think

[expat007]

They are an amalgamation of several old regiments and draw their traditions from such if Im not mistaken. The UKs Paras are similar to the US Ranger Regiment so to equate any brit force to the US Rangers Id say it would be them. How does that saying go? "GOD is Airborme"






"He failed selection"

if the Paras= US ranger's what does that make the Pathfinder platoon?

[expat007]

RRD?

[moughoun]

RRD?
Rapid reaction detachment? I don't know on the green side they are up to SAS standards apperently

[n4292936]

Based on my knowledge of Rangers (my brother was one recently) and what i know of Para, they are essentially equivelant despite the para's not officially being called SOF.
As has been mentioned, a rather high proportion of guys from the pathfinders pass SAS selection. I would suggest that they are slightly different than Rangers, and probably more extensively trained. However, the Rangers do have LRRP units which they could probably be considered comparable to.

[Ayura]

^^^ Because n4292936 is just that darn smart :)

[moughoun]

^^^ Because n4292936 is just that darn smart :)

Yes!! a little too smart................... p-)

[expat007]

RRD is "regimental recon detachment" some Muy Malo hombres, Ive seen them working with SEaLs and have heard that they work closely with CAG. An elite within an elite so to speak,I dont know anything about the paras pathfinders though.

IMO LRRS units are Ranger units themselves. The Ranger units of the vietnam era were Companies in the 75th Reg, major combat commands and Divs had their supporting ranger co s- ie E co 75th inf.Ergo its reasonable to identify the modern LRRS as Ranger units as well.

[Ayura]

Well, N does do a high-level proffesion and enjoys every steoreotypical geeks hobbies (astronomy etc)


:D :D :D Yes, tis true I tell thee

[moughoun]

[quote="expat007"] and have heard that they work closely with CAG. quote]
You'll get beaten up for saying that word, they're not real, they are a figment ofyour imagination p-)

[Imshi-Yallah]

The title ranger was adopted because the Royal Irish rangers who were amalagamated with the UDR to form the Royal Irish regiment were themselves a composition of the two previous Irish regiments one of which was a fusiliers regiment
For fusiliers being addressed as private was an affront so when the unit was amalgamated the title of ranger was adotped to avoid anyone feeling hard done by.

Also Moughoun, the only Irish regiments remaining are the RIR (where I'll probably end up) or the Irish guards; anyone in the RIR will tell you that the regiments of foot are basically for Londoners (kind of like MUFC) and that they are the sole continuation of the tradition of Irish infantry in the BA.

[Imshi-Yallah]

Some of Irish Police armed response units, I know they arent military but they do have the primary role of responding to armed terrorism even though the Army and specifically the ARW are the only actual CT and HRT force.

The Royal Irish Rangers was an amalgamation of 3 regular regiments and 4 if you count TA

1. Royal Inniskilling Fusileers
2. Royal Irish Fuslileers
3. Royal Ulster Rifles

4th TA unit was The London Irish who were i think it was c coy of the 4th Bn Royal Irish Rangers.

And the Micks (irish guards) were mainly Scousers (from Liverpool) now they have Fijians as well

No and why would you even ask that?
Also, whoever said he didnt have effective range is an idiot. The front door of the house was less than 10 metres from where those ERU members in the photo above were standing. He came out the front door and walked towards them which means those gardai were well within the range of his shotgun.
Keep in mind that a garda car with two officers inside had already been hit and that he ignored repeated calls for he to stop walking towards them and to drop his weapon. Would it have been better had the ERU had access to non-lethal weapons? Yes but its not their fault they didnt.
Btw the Army Rangers would have reacted in the same manner as the ERU did.

Rangers praised by peace-keepers

LIZ ALLEN

THE Army's most highly-trained unit, the elite Army Ranger Wing, has been singled out for its effectiveness by army leaders of the Australian-led peacekeeping mission in East Timor. However, the unit faces a bleak future if the Government proceeds with recommended cutbacks in the Department of Defence.

As army representatives prepared for battle with the Government this week over its White Paper on the future of the defence forces, a 30-strong ARW team, sent to East Timor as part of a multinational security group in October, was patrolling dangerous territory and protecting civilians from militias.

Army Chief of Staff Lt General Dave Stapleton has received two letters from Australian and New Zealand commanders to say that the Rangers performed brilliantly in hazardous and dangerous conditions. The first letter came from a high-ranking Australian Army Commander while the second came just three weeks ago from a New Zealand Commander who is responsible for the Taroman area of East Timor.

``They have spent weeks in jungles, dealing with militias and fending off threats to civilians and they are now patrolling an area of 100 square kilometres alone. The conditions are primitive because they are in a high, mountainous area with nothing in the way of facilities,'' the commander said.

Senior Army personnel warned yesterday that the Army's reputation as an international peackeeping force of excellence ``would undoubtedly end up in tatters'' if the Government proceeded with the proposed cutbacks.

It was given serious consideration at the time as the DOF and various other elements wanted the DF to become pure logs support for PFP as a result of the tremendous cost savings they made by deploying a CSS sub unit to KFOR instead of an infantry group.
I am well aware of the current status of the ARW, but dont be fooled they are receiving what they are receiving off the back of their black role boon post 9/11.
The green role is limited and unlikely to expand in the absence of a real logs and transport capability.

Ah, did I piss in your conflake's or something, I know of the boost to the black role post 9-11, I know what the DOF had planned about turning the DF into a glorified delivery service, I'm well aware of the status of the wing I have a few mate's in it, and the green role was never the major role of the wing anyway, that was secondary to the CT/hr role, since it was established, it's only after East timor and Liberia that the Government realised the asset they have in the wing for PK/PE mission's

Yeah, that looks like the 28th Infantry Division's "Bloody Bucket" insignia. And I know that we have deployed some of our boys there..

We use the Isreali CAD Helmet. The Mk6 is British.

Mowag Equipped units use the Dutch K-POT

[ShadowNeo]

Ahhh I see, I had always thought you guys used Mk6's :lol: .
