III. Para-Commando training

(* Para-commando's are the elite soldiers of the Belgian army... Their missions are similar to those of the US 75th Ranger however. They orignate from the SAS and Commandos, when Belgium was taken over by the Germans many Belgians went to Britain to join the army their. Once the Belgian SAS and commando's settled in Belgium the SAS regiment was transformed into a Paratrooper regiment, later the Commando regiment and paratrooper regiment merged into the Para-commando regiment, which later became a brigade by adding support units.)

http://www.nato.int/kfor/chronicle/2002/chronicle_12/01.htm
Some extra pics (cool ones :p) which i couldn't post, the site also includes some info.

http://outsidethewire.net/belgians.htm
This site links to a event which took place in Somalia in which the Belgian Para-commandos fought, its written by a soldier of the US 10th mountain division, its really cool to read even if you don't give a crap about the belgian army ;)

[Operation Ivy]

Great Post!!!!

By far one of the best photo threads woot

The only thing i dont like is the Belgian cammo :(

But Awsome Pics :D :hug: woot

[Deuterium]

Love that Kodak pass!!!

[HappyCat]

in 14a what type of pistol is he holding?

[wholagun]

WOW.. :D :D :D That mustve taken a **** load of time. Thats alot of pics you got there, good quality too.

I like the 120mm mortar,, that thing is huge.

Explain why the cammo is so weird? its not like any other cammo pattern in the world why is that?


Great job.. excellent work.

woot woot Go fruit beer woot

[TheBenz]

Good pics...but that camo is terrible rofl

[Dalleer]

This pics are great, I've never seen that much pictures of the Belgian army that I do consider being a very interesting armed force in Europe...

Nevertheless, why is it so that the Belgian "Jigsaw" (?) camouflage pattern greatly pleases me despite everyone else's opinions.

Maybe I've just got bad taste towards camouflage patterns?

[Tiger]

Nice pics ! woot

http://www.mil.be/isaf/view_gall_large.asp?ID=11996

Belgian soldier with M4 ?

An exchange with US soldiers i suppose ?

[Rantanplan]

Oh I forgot. Great Pics DeZzErX!!!! woot

[Smintjes]

Great pics Dezzerx!

I like the Belgian camo pattern. It's a bitch to find some new sets of them though. The manufacturers can't keep up with the military demand so supply to surplus stores is limited. I only have the old pattern (pre-ripstop) trousers and a ripstop boonie hat.

[LJK]

Really good pics! woot

I like this one http://www.mil.be/armycomp/view_wall_large.asp?ID=402

The mortar is the French made 120 mm RTF1 rifled mortar. It's also used by FR,NL and IT. Range is 8500 metres with normal rounds and 13,500 m with RAP.
