Aye, I must agree I've read alot of books by ex-SAS/SBS guys, and quite a few movies.
As for airsoft, I always have fun, but I like to try and be tactical too. This is how I usually try to be tactical (I.e using what I've wrote in the guide). I know its not perfect but its enjoyable for me.
I'm sure after a few years and hopefully joining the army I'll have the exprience and training to write a proper guide through and through but for now, this should suffice for beginners and certainly for me.
As I said, if you want something added or whatever, just drop me a PM or something and I'll sort it.
Thanks for taking the time to advise me.
Yeah no probs. but as I've said, someone more experienced can do better. They probably have better things to do though.
Although, having said that, it's got me thinking... I might have a crack myself later...

Sorry! Thanks for correcting me.
Give me some suggestions and I'll sort them now.
No probs. happy to help, my advice would be to either not bother as Airsoft is all about having fun and meeting new people, and shooting them with plastic BBs. Or, get someone more experienced to write it if you're adamant you want to have a guide like this. Your age and inexperience shows through and your terminology suggests you've read too many books and watched too many movies.

Ah so RA 2CDO or something like that? Awesome! Thank you for your service.
No! Please stop assuming, mate.
I'm not Commando trained. It's also 29 Commando regiment, RA. Not 2CDO.
To elaborate, every artillery gun regiment has FSTs, weather this is at the troop level (platoon sized) as part of a gun battery or a TAC battery that is made up of purely FSTs, or both. You don't need to be commando or para trained to be a forward observer. It's a good job if you don't mind playing IED roulette with the infantry.
Anyway, to get back on track, your guide needs work.

What regiment do you serve with?
I'm artillery. I'm a forward observer. We're organised into teams called fire support teams (FSTs for short), we get attached to all sorts of units from infantry to armoured units (at coy/sqn level) and provide joint fires and ISTAR support. It's a busy and dangerous job.

Yep you'd be right I added and changed things so they would only apply to airsoft.
As to the 4 man layout I did, I based it on my own experience meeting teams in the past and seeing their setups.
In a typical SAS 4 man patrol for example, your more likely to have a signaller, a dems man, a linguistic specialist and a medic. For scrims and such, that wouldnt be a feasible layout (possibly in milsim, but yet to have seen one like that, or heard of one).
I changed the layout to a more efficient system for beginners. Simplified it and such, its a basic guide and by no means a complete guide to milsim, but it will help players get on there feet.
If you have any more suggestions please let me know and I'll see if I can rectify them for you.
Hi, firstly I took that bit of information from a book called "Ultimate Special Forces" by a former British Para-Commando.
Secondly, please remember this is adapted to airsoft.
If you have any more suggestions please let me know and I'll see if I can rectify them for you.
Yeah I know how SF operate, I worked with them a few times on Herrick over summer.
Again, it's not bad but it isn't exactly amazing either.

I know, mate, and it's an admirable trait. Never lose it.
