I see new helmets and If not the "Umbrella" patch the dude in nomex suit could be mistaken with G-unit operator. I wonder when(If ever) they will switch from Glauberyt to old good MP5?

The pea shooter issue came up more than once before. Thing is, what is the Regiments main focus? Hostage rescue is GROMs back yard (even if L -boys proved to be more than capable in that element), Naval Special Warfare (VBBS and GOPLAT) is Formozas buisnes. Will there be a change? Hard to tell, mainly because right now there are more pressing issues. As time goes, more and more equipment will be changed/modernaised. But for now their piece of the money cake is as it is. And a coler sub gun looks to be a less of a priority...
 
Yup, that's why I wrote "If ever", hovewer buying lets say 100 pieces of MP5 is not a big deal these days. But yeah, If they would think it's necessarry to have them, they would bought them already.
 
Recently, elements the Regiment took part in a training exercise Scorpion XIV. Its purpuse was to verify its readynes to take up rotation as part of TF-50.
It's component will be augmented by elements from Polish Naval Special Warfare unit Formoza.

A few new ones from the Certification. Note that some of the guys are sporting slightly different gucci gear - they are our NSWU Formoza. This will be their second time as part of TF-50.
There are voices that it's kind of a bum deal, but that's Command for 'ya.

Recently the Regiment, along with their Afghan partners, executed a raid which resulted in the dismemberment of a powerful terror network. The cell was commanded by Zia Mohammad, aka Mawaz. He, along with four other insurgents, were killed in the firefight. Five others were taken into custody. Mawazs cell was responsible for numerous attacts on Coalition Forces, assassination of Afghan administrative personel as well as terrorising the local populace.
