couple of neat knife pics ,the guy look to be cutting c4 in two ,cool looking folder and the guy entering the blackhawk had a machete strapped to his pack...
 
Looks like those guys know what they are doing.

I would be begging to play with C4 and shoot the mini gun!
 
A few questions.

1. Do you know how they construct the drug huts? it looks like they just cut tree trunks to the right height and never uproot anything.

2. Do they have generators out there running the lights? I mean do they keep these places running 24/7?
 
It's also interesting to see how everyone has their M4's set up...Got a wide array of gear there!
 
Stay tuned, Tony, to Tactical Knives magazine for a story about that particular knife that's cutting C4.

RMC, this particular unit is probably one of the most highly trained groups in South America. They don't screw with anything expect taking out HCL labs and HVTs (high Value Targets). HVTs would be FARC commanders, narco-traffickers, etc. The training course to be a Jungla is 4 1/2 months long. Drop out rate is very high. Some of them also receive training in the US. Several US agencies and 7th SFG assist in training the Junglas. They have all the latest high-tech gear as well as 60mm mortars, heavy machine guns, etc. There are 3 companies of Junglas in Colombia with around 300 altogether. They don't fuck around. They engage a target, do what they must to neutralize it and leave the area. Very fast paced, air assault stuff. The Jungla training is also offered to other Latin American countries.
 
Drug lab construction is the same as any jungle hut construction, except they use black plastic to cover all the buildings. Very difficult to see from the air. We had exact coordinates from the informant (and the informant in one of our Blackhawks) and it took us a while flying circles and valleys to finally spot where we were suppose to be. Even after we were on the LZ it was still a hike to the lab and we still had to find it in the jungle. This particular lab had 14 buildings and was in the jungle close to a road. They had generators but were running off of the main powerlines form the road. Remember, they're not too worried because this is FARC held area.
