What's the badge on Gurkhas' right and left arms?

The blue rebel and para wing on the right?
ISAF on the left???

Thanks for answering.

I see the m/90 desert camo. I thought that thing wasn't due 'til 2010 or something (since we all know how fast the military does things). :)
Good to know we don't have walking bushes out there anymore.

Too cool, I have the utmost respest for the Gurkhas, true warriors.

Did any of them comment on whether or not Afghanistan is similar to Nepal, as far as terrain goes?

As the Gurkah's took over from the other British forces, they were actually 10 days late due to paperwork, so the Swedes worked double shift. p-)
As a thank you the Gurkah's cooked up a curry and gave a dance. woot
They also presented the Swedish unit with one of their special knives as a gift, a really big honor. there is no other way for a non-gurkah to receive this knife in a legal matter. It's not for sale.

This is the rapid reaction force in support of reconstruction efforts in the
area around mazar-i-sharif. Hence the patrols to different regions to offer support when support is needed.
