Scratch Modworks: US Army MPs
AnyAmerikan replied to Jahve's topic in ARMA - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION
Yeah, Im currently in the reserves, but switching over to active duty (Im too busy as a reservist; Two deployments in two years :P), so I dont really know where my next duty station will be. But theyre saying Hawaii has like a 90% chance of showing up, so I might be headin over to the 25th ID. I can already run a two mile in 13:30, but my pushups definately need work, but I appreciate the advice! -

Scratch Modworks: US Army MPs

Exactly, theyre beyond experienced. &Thats the new DoD security thats taking over. The garrison MP job is being taken away from us, we're starting to become more "Field/Combat" MP's if anything. -
Scratch Modworks: US Army MPs

I must say, Im beyond happy to see US Army MP units Ive been waiting for these for so long! But Im seeing a couple problems: Obviously, as discussed, the green-foliage American flag patch. Also, the MP IR Patch is not the correct one if youre overseas, especially in a combat zone. The one youve chosen is mainly used for garrison MP's. The one's we used were these'. Also, the unit you've chosen to represent the MP's is a little... Well, un-experienced compared to other units. If anyone, Id choose the 16th MP Brigade. Its the home to thje 108th MP Company, the only Airborne/Air Assault MP company in the entire US Army. Theyve been to Iraq and Afghanistan more times than I can remember (And not to mention, thats the same unit my Drill Sergeant came from; Recipient of two Bronze Stars). Im also seeing the Camelback camo pattern. I mean, we differenciated who was who when I went overseas with the 327th MP's: MP's had ACU Pattern Medic's used Black (However, the medics never had the red cross on it, because that means they couldnt carry a weapon. So instead, we had them use black Camelback equiptment and had them carry tags that said "MEDIC" on it.) They never wore the MP IR tag, and never had the medical corps insignia on their equiptment either. Gunner's were always issued out goggles, which we always had ready on our helmets. And if they were to carry a Camelback, we'd always make sure to have two SAW pouches attached to the back of it. Grenadiers were issued out the Drog Leg holster, which we'd attach the M203 pouches onto, for easy access. Hopefully that helps. -
Hyk modern u.s. infantry pack released

Im new to the addon scene, but Ive noticed a somewhat noticeably flaw with the Medics. According to Geneva Convention Regulations, Medics are not allowed to carry any type of firearm, or ordnance if a red cross is visable on the uniform. However, when I was in Mosul for 12 months, we tried to diferenciate our Medics incase we needed them. We had them carry black Camelbacks, and instead of a red cross on the back, we all pitched in and got them tags that said "MEDIC." That way they were able to carry a weapon, and still fight incase we needed the extra manpower. Maybe just a suggestion for a future release?
