Intense fighting in Northern Alliance territory. Insurgents gain ground at heavy cost. Kinduf region, Afghanistan. Heavy fighting erupted last night in the central part of the Kinduf region in northern Afghanistan. A large number of Insurgents attacked several small outposts belonging to the so called Northern Alliance, a conglomeration government consisting of local politicians, military officers and tribal elders who seized power in the region following the Afghan Governments complete withdrawal from the region. The northern alliance had successfully fought both the Taliban and ISIS-A to a standstill in th e region. In an effort to restore order to the region the Pentagon has acknowledged that US special forces are deployed in the region but have not disclosed what units and what size. Last weekend reports came in about large Insurgent movements around two small outposts held by the Northern Alliance between the towns of Kinduf and Kaele Noowi. A spokesperson for the US forces in the region who asked to remain anonymous stated the following: “Our local partner force reported that two of their outposts had come under attack by large number of insurgents, both vehicle bourne and on foot. A response force was swiftly gathered and sent to the outposts via helicopter. One of the outposts was held with heavy casualties inflicted on the attacking insurgents, the other suffered severe structural damage and the decision was made to destroy all sensitive material and evacuate to the outpost in order to concentrate the thinly spread Northern Alliance forces into more defensible locations. All in all one US and three or four Northern Alliance soldiers were killed in comparison to well over forty insurgents at each of the sites, including several enemy vehicles. We expect to have the Taliban threat in the central Kinduf region contained within a week ” With one of the outposts evacuated reports of Taliban movement in the region have increased significantly and rumors of an attempt by the Taliban to secure the region by setting up a system of roadblocks and strongpoints have been circulating in the region. Taliban spokesperson Alhib Ansour released a statement claiming: “Our Brave warriors have driven the infidels and western crusaders from our land, they have bled the enemy dry and inflicted on him a great wound from which he will not recover. With the help of almighty god we will continue our holy war against the foreign crusaders, we will choke our rivers with their dead, we will sow the fields with their limbs, we will suffer this indignation no longer, god willing we shall be victorious.” The Taliban statement does however fail to meet the reality on the ground where large forces of the Northern Alliance are being reorganized and deployed to contain the Taliban incursion. Despite the heavy fighting very few Northern Alliance casualties have been reported whereas the fields around the outpost still in Northern Alliance hand are littered will the bodies of slain Taliban fighters. This reporter was unable to gain access to the outpost now allegedly in Taliban hands. Northern Alliance military and police secure Taliban fighters captured after their attack on a Northern Alliance outpost. Regardless of the Taliban's bombastic claims of holy wars and the american talk of containment it sadly seems like the fighting in Afghanistan is far from over.

See @Capt Whelan, compared to those guys 👆 Im not so bad, right?

https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2018/02/23/marine-raiders-dont-want-any-m27s/ Granted its almost 2 years old at this point, but is probably worth some consideration yet.

The 100rnd mags have their own in game model so its easy to see if they have it or a regular mag in the gun. Its what they might stuff in their inventory that might be problematic.

Personally I'd keep it and the other 416 pattern rifles in and just say its from the Task Force Cobra armory, a joint SF venture like that would (probably) be quite well funded, especially if the CIA are involved. The 100 Round mags are an RHS item and they do fit all the 5.56 RHS and NIArms weapons, so if we include it we are gonna have to keep and eye on people who run the regular carbines and SBRs so they dont just stuff a backpack full of 100 Round drum mags.

Im sure the USMC has a tsunami of valid reasons for going with the M27, after all, they fight wars, we dont, so lets not judge. However does this warrant a removal of the M27s currently in our arsenal box? Would it also warrant the removal of all 416 pattern rifles from the box, leaving us with the Mk18s and Block II M4s? Or would we keep those weapons as part of the Task Force Cobra arsenal? @Capt Hart

In my America this is punishable by 30 years hard labour.

The “New” ANA in the Battle of Kandahar ADA News - Dateline 29 July, 2019 As reported by a number of new outlets in the recent week the Afghan National Army (ANA) have come under increasing pressure from the resurgent Taliban and ISIS-A forces who have thrown parts of Afghanistan into complete anarchy. The ANA as it stood was fraught with corruption on the higher echelons and poor morale in the lower ones. It was also battling severe problems with desertion, drug abuse and other criminal activity. Despite extensive measures by NATO to train the ANA, the effect was negligible. While certain units of the ANA distinguished themselves both in training and in actual combat situations the majority of the force still faced significant issues despite the large amount of time and money invested by NATO. Now it seems NATOs patience has run out as political pressure on the Afghan government has resulted in Afghanistan ceding control of its army’s recruitment and training programs to the International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF). The final straw was the ANA withdrawal from Northern Afghanistan which left the region in complete anarchy as well as the resurgence of the Taliban in Mazar-i-sharif and Kandahar. With a new chief of recruitment in place and under strict ISAF surveillance the requirements for acceptance into the ANA were raised significantly. Mandatory drug screenings were implemented and a more rigorous training plan is followed. Disciplinary measures have been stepped up, both against new recruits and those already in the ANA. It did not take long for these new methods to have a measurable effect. With the Taliban offensive into Kandahar the newly reformed 3rd Brigade was deployed under ISAF supervision and with US Special forces advisors on the ground. In a days fighting the Taliban offensive was blunted, in two it was stopped dead in its tracks, on the third day the brigade began its counterattack and despite the unusually stiff resistance put up by the Taliban the brigade succeeded in driving Taliban forces out of Kandahar, in total the battle lasted five days. Casualties for the 3rd Brigade were low with only 18 dead and around 50 wounded compared to over 300 Taliban fighters killed and around 100 captured. But as is often the case with insurgents defeating them in the field is only the first step. The 3rd Brigade is now firmly entrenched in Kandahar, looking to restore order and hunt down any Taliban who have gone into hiding in the province. Captain Bahir Khalim briefs his platoon commanders on their new assignment at a Combat Outpost in Kandahar This initial victory does seem to indicate that the new ANA is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Both NATO and ANA personnel report a significant increase in troop morale, discipline and as witnessed in Kandahar, staying power. New defense minister Bardi al-Ghota said in a press conference following the battle “the times when the ANA was dismissed as a third rate force and widely ridiculed are over. We have the foundations of not only a new army, but a new Afghanistan as well, an Afghanistan free of the Taliban, free of ISIS, an Afghanistan that is ready to join the world in the 21st century”.

@Capt Hart "Get it and come do it with me"

Context is VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY important here.

@Capt Whelan Yeees, if we cant recruit people we might as well breed them.

Technically quoting myself here but noone cares about that rule so fuck it. Myself: "Rivera has now spent 16 bucks on getting friends to play a game with her" @HMC (FMF) Rivera: "IM DOING IT FOR US, OK"

@Capt WhelanCan we have M79s in the arsenal now?

An absolute classic when it comes to the Swedish Heavy Metal scene.
