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?

I gotta get one of those when I get a dog! How cool is that!? It look almost like a ciras. (though it's not)

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.
