Assault (CAN) 1 Posted September 2, 2002 That's hard to answer. Just because it's OFP doesn't mean that the uniform is actually from police SWAT teams. It could be anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col. Kurtz 0 Posted September 2, 2002 Could be, but he has a badge on his arm that could reveal something if you could get a close up of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloney 0 Posted September 3, 2002 Yes, the Marines have FAST teams, Fleet Anti-Terrorist Security Teams... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Fox 0 Posted September 3, 2002 Not to mention the CQB specialty and yeah they do have SWAT teams but I'm not sure if those are FAST teams also. Maybe E6Hotel can clear this up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it possible to get a better view? edit 2: It COULD be the Marine Corps Security Force Battalion insignia but it's tough to tell: MCSF Bn insignia In any case, we used gas masks instead of balaclavas, and our MP5's didn't have integral silencers.

NavyEEL 0 Posted September 4, 2002 it's obviously a special operator, regardless of what kind, due to the gear he's wearing and equipment he has. does it really matter what kind? they all wear similar stuff anyway... i mean unless you're writing a book about it, just admire the cool pic and quit worrying about its accuracy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
