Not unusual. Somehow, an Army SF team has picked my local area for training for the past couple of years. I dunno how it worked with DEVGRU, but my SWAT team gets tasked with being their OPFOR, well, technically the locals they've recruited for insurgency in a foreign land, for several days of training, and then on the final day they come in and train us in room clearing, shooting drills, etc. Pretty fun stuff because you learn a lot playing the bad guy as well. |

Finding these pics is not the problem, vetting them is the trick. And clearly, I've yet to master Zen and the Art of Reverse Image Searching. For some reason, more fuckers want to dress up as MARSOC than as DEVGRU even. It must be the tactical fanny pack.

It is one of the least public Special Forces in the world. First ever insight was this year when a newspaper called DN could follow them on a small training. The army did of course make sure nothing they didn't want to be written was made public. They were first caught on tape 2008 in Chad while doing recon missions in preperations for a EUFOR mission. At the time SOG was actually two groups called SSG and SIG but they were merged. This is the only video of them. There is no official gear for them and they tend to blur some of the equipment. FM (the army) have only made a few pictures public and they are very dark and you can't really see anything. I am however unsure about this soldiers nationality. It looks like he has a Danish flag from what I can see but has Swedish M90 camouflage. The army is usually very strict with what they do with the uniforms so I’d doubt they’d sell it to another army.
