FschJgBtl263 and their flag in Afghanistan

[Gordon Craig]

A few days ago a question was posted about BW FJ flags. As luck would have it, shortly after the thread was started I stumbled across an FJ flag in use in "the sandbox". This appears to be a locally produced flag made in theatre by the unit. There were a few photos of the unit in action that came with the flag so I have posted them as well.
Gotta love them HK hats!!!!

Regards,

Gordon

Gordon - Cool pictures. How long have those integral grenade launchers on the G36 been around? Anyone know the nomenclature?

I noted too the internal padding on the bottom of the sleeve.

I feel sorry for those guys trying to put together a modern greni in "Ass-crack-istan" ensemble; I'm sticking with the good ole Cold War oliv stuff myself.

All the best - TJ

GC:
Great flag photo, thanks for posting. What's on the guys
head, is there a helmet shell that goes over the skull gear?

That's the head mount for the NVG "Lucie".
Quite comfy actually.

Hey there TJ,
the 40 mm x 46 "grenade luncher" has been around since 2002 I guess.
It's called AG 36 - Anbaugerät 36
