I know the Australians see more combat than any other military in that region. They get out and get all sorts of Mercenary work and Contracts. French Special Forces is the same as well as the Scandinavian ones. In fact the SASR ran our military in the Vietnam Conflict. As well as train MACSOG and LRRP. There were UK advisors and Legionairres but it was the SASR and the Commando groups that did all the leg work. IT was Russian SF and Chinese SF vs SASR and Commandos. Everything else was just fluff if you research history and read between the lines. Afghanistan is another, through sources I am told the Australian SOF and the many of the FFL are actually doing most of the fighting while the americans are just playing cop and babysitter getting blown up in the middle of it.
Are you kidding? You need to do better research on Afghanistan and Iraq, playing Cop, WTF? You have no Clue what we do there. Sure we have invested a ton of time Training the Locals on PTTs and MTTs (Police Training Teams and Military Training Teams). In a MTT or PTT a Squad of Marines are imbedded with the PTT or MTT, e. g., you live, eat, sleep, and train them. Then you have very well established FOBs, Forward Operating Bases, OPs, Observation Posts, and LPs, Listening Posts, those are where all operations are ran out of. Combat Patrols, Ambush Patrols, Contact with Local Sheiks, Artillery, Armor, Air Wings Fixed and Rotary Wing Aircraft, and much much more. If you have watched any Documentaries on the Legion and British Army and Royal Marines, they operate much the same. The French Camp Rocco, it is a FOB.
