Low threat environment. They are TOLD not to patrol with the weapon at the raedy position. No cam paint. Walking along a trail - all the cardinal 'No No's' of a tactical patrol. But this is deliberate!!!!!!!!! They are adopting a non-aggresive posture as part of the 'hearts and minds' policy. Do Not make the mistake of thinking this is how Kiwi soldiers operate in a tactical environment.
Well my Tanky mates who went to Bosnia within the year off basic 290 were fired apon but still had a no fire policy unless fired upon...but how would they know what a direct threat was when the defense force chief implements that strategy to be a peacekeeping force in the most hostile place on earth at that time!
@volcblo im not disagreeing with training quality lowering over the years.But i think its becasue S.Sgt's cant be fucked putting up with the thugs that join. And,because NZ isnt training for war,we are training to peace keep and reconstruct war torn countries.If ww3 broke out you would see the Troop quality raise.Since NZ isnt reallty commited to major conflicts our troops training shouldnt need to be of high standard like the U.s Marines or british regs
