DEA FAST Teams in Afghanistan
 

I'm currently working on my Force Recon loadouts, but I've just seen this video of DEA's FAST teams in Afghanistan, and that's one gucci-multicam-geardo paradise.

If you want both realism and MultiCam, here's one interesting unit to base your stuff on. I'd do it if genuine MC was cheaper^^
DEA FAST Team Alpha raids a Taliban compound on 9/11 on Vimeo

Looks like they "arrived" back at base in a Sea King, even though they climbed into an Mi-8. Lol

lol good catch, I hadn't noticed

Probably SAR after the Mi-17 (I spy a tail rotor mounted on the port side) broke down :P

Sick ass, saw an mk16. :p

Is the guy 2nd from the right holding an M14 at the end.?

Good catch, yes. It's an M14

why is the DEA in a foreign country....

As usual... to kick down drug smugglers & producers doors ;)

They've been in foreign countries for ages, most notably in south america.

they have led operations in canada during the mid to late 90's.

Anyone taken the time to do a list of all the gear you can see in the video?

Here i'll start it off:

• Camelbak

lol

they move like airsofters :)

Anybody see the dog with the bulletproof vest?

YouTube- DEA "The FAST Team" in Afghanistan

Actually its the Mk17. at 1:04- 1:06 you can see the shorter and longer magazine of the 7.62 and the AAC 7.62 elongated flash hider.

Other thing I wanna add is that the helmets do seem the OPS-CORE, just look at the position of the velcro, the color is a greyish tan (Urban Tan).

Just an opinion from you guys, I have pretty much most of the loadout set right now with the exeption of the rig and primary. The thing is since most equipment seems to be common with NSW I was thinking of instead of buying a CIRAS to just keep my RRV with back plate /PACA combo and use it for both a SEAL impresion and consider it a DEA INSPIRED.

and that's just on the sniffer dog!

explosions and german sheperds...on the german sheperd?

The fleas are engaged in an eradication campaign against the ticks.

dont forget the bullet proof black lab

the DEA should just strap those on there chests lol

I'm working on a FAST loadout and I have most of the gear, but the back of the vest is empty. I'm going to buy this https://www.sealsactiongear.com/cata...?idProduct=949 but before I do I wanted to
make sure that it's the same as in the video. It's my first real piece of gear and I don't want to waste $200 on something that's not the same. Also, they use blackhawk and eagle pouches correct? I'm going to buy some of them as well

yea i saw a few MAP backs being worn.

I saw a couple different things, and yes there were a few MAP in there. Not sure if this was the AI or the EI MAP from this footage... so I'd saw yeah go for it.

One of the guys in the cecond video is using a ContourHD camera. Pretty sure some of the footage from the first was also shot with one.

Alright thanks guys
