NAF Regiment or QRF were deployed for base and assets protection only. They are not deployed in the field. Only Navy SBS and Army regulars are.

The Navy SBS has proven once again to be an effective fighting unit. Were haven't they deployed operationally, the list keeps growing, Nigeria, Chad, Cameroun, Niger, Ivory Coast, Mali, on the high seas and now Gambia.

I'm so proud of this unit.

1 US Service Member Killed, 3 Wounded in Yemen Raid

SANAA, Yemen — The U.S. military said Sunday that one service member was killed and three others wounded in a raid in Yemen targeting its local al-Qaida branch, marking the first-known combat death of a member of the U.S. military under President Donald Trump's new administration.

U.S. Central Command said in a statement that a fourth service member was injured in a "hard landing" in a nearby location. The aircraft was unable to fly afterward and was "intentionally destroyed."

The Central Command statement said 14 militants from al-Qaida's branch in Yemen, formally known as "al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula," were killed in the assault and that U.S. service members taking part in the raid captured "information that will likely provide insight into the planning of future terror plots."

Yemeni security and tribal officials said the surprise dawn assault in Yemen's central Bayda province killed three senior al-Qaida leaders: Abdul-Raouf al-Dhahab, Sultan al-Dhahab, and Seif al-Nims.

The al-Dhahab family is considered an ally of al-Qaida, which is now chiefly concentrated in Bayda province. A third family member, Tarek al-Dhahab, was killed in a U.S. drone strike several years ago. It was not immediately clear whether the family members were actual members of al-Qaida.

The U.S. troops killed or wounded some two dozen men, including some Saudis present at the site, according to the Yemeni officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief journalists.

An official with al-Qaida confirmed the killings, describing the attack as a "massacre" and saying that women and children had been killed as well. The official sent to The Associated Press in Cairo photos purportedly showing the bloodied bodies of several children killed in the raid.

The official said the Apache attack helicopters struck the area from the air before dropping commandos in for the raid, which took place near Yakla village in Radaa district. He too spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

Whats the story with these things?

I am a pragmatist. I have no political beliefs, I subscribe to no ideologies. I only care about what works and what doesn't, usually history and common sense provide all the answers.

Thus people like Terry make me sick to my core. They place belief over reality and will bend reality to suit their belief.

GreenandGold:


Those kind of people who believe the military shouldn't get any equipment.... The kind of people who flood the News24 comments section on Facebook bitching about how much of a waste of money national defence is.

Patchesagain:


And then when a war comes they will be the first to complain about the military's performance and shout and complain about their poor equipment!
