Our 3rd plt took some casualties from an IED I watched from about a mile away as you guys made multiple attempts to medivac our guys out you had to make several attempts to land due to RPK amd RPG fire. Your PJs jumped out with our guys on the ground to give aid while the pilots continued to make attempts to land. Well done.

[@dallasyap3064]

As I understand it, the British military doesn't have a unit like the PJs right? Except for RAF Mountain Rescue Service (MRS), which is predominantly meant for mountain and ice rescue.

[@5eyesalliance785]

@@dallasyap3064 We have MERT, which is slightly different. MERT is a team of doctors, nurses and paramedics who do a similar job using a chinook. They are not SOF troops like PJs are though and would rarely discharge a weapon, a job usually carried out by an RAF gunner from the door. Whilst they lack in military skill, they gain in medical skills. That chinook essentially becomes a flying hospital and saved many British and US serviceman in afghan. Handshakes across the pond, Brother!

[@dallasyap3064]

@@5eyesalliance785 ahh yes, I read about the MERT before, which is slightly different from PJs. From how I see it, MERT is more of a regular MEDEVAC unit, whereas PJs are more of a CSAR, recovery unit. What do u think?

Ex British Army. These guys were awesome. Pulled our lads out more than I can count.

[@lisk0_]

Elite troops in their own right. Remember reading the Kajaki Dam story when members of the Parachute Regiment were trapped in a minefield. The PJs dropped in and the PARAs were screaming at them "Minefield!" and the PJ walked across the minefield with no care in the world, his focus was on the wounded.

[@Myce]

@eejitseverywhere shut the fuck up..
