FBI SWAT officers during security preparations for the 1994 FIFA World Cup at Giants Stadium, New Jersey. One of them is running the legendary HK MP5SD, the integrally suppressed version of the gun that practically defined police and tactical units of that era, here fitted with one of the big bulky flashlights that were state of the art at the time.

German soldiers of the 26th Paratrooper Regiment during a celebratory march in Zweibrücken last year. The Fallschirmjäger carry one of the proudest traditions in the German army, the airborne lineage stretching back generations, and the 26th is one of the Bundeswehr’s core parachute formations.

Travis Osborn, Airborne Ranger and Green Beret, the 18D Special Forces medic who treated Marcus Luttrell after Operation Red Wings. When Luttrell was finally located, days after the ambush that killed the rest of his team, it was an Army Special Forces ODA that went in to bring him out, and Osborn was the man who worked on him while they waited under brutal conditions for extraction from that Afghan village. His own resume is staggering in its own right, seventeen tours across Afghanistan and Iraq and fifteen Bronze Stars over a career spent almost entirely in combat arms. The Lone Survivor story is usually told from the SEAL side, but the rescue belonged to the Rangers and Green Berets who went up the mountain to get him.

Eric Frohardt, former DEVGRU Gold Squadron sniper and assaulter. His road there is one of the better stories in the community. He joined the Navy in 2000, the way he tells it, partly on a bet that he couldn’t make it through SEAL training, then spent close to twelve years in the Teams. He served with SEAL Team Five before reaching the Development Group, deployed repeatedly to Iraq and Afghanistan, and worked as both a sniper and an assaulter before combat injuries forced his medical retirement as a chief in 2010.

Over the course of a 21 year Navy career, Mike completed 14 combat deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other hotspots around the world. Today he continues to support the SEAL teams, law enforcement, and civilians by teaching mission essential training at his shooting range and business, Bearmouth Precision, in Hall, Montana. 

He is the owner of Sentinel Elements LLC and is also heavily involved with Folds of Honor, a nonprofit that provides educational scholarships to the dependents of fallen combat heroes and disabled veterans.

US Army Special Forces running a pretty slick RECCE rifle setup. The RECCE concept came out of the SOF world’s need for a carbine that could stretch its legs further than a standard rifle without turning into a full sniper system, a do-it-all build that stays light and quick but reaches out when it has to.

A German mountain infantry sniper’s G22A2 rifle setup. The G22 is the Bundeswehr’s designation for the Accuracy International AWM, a rifle with a serious pedigree in the precision world, and in the hands of the Gebirgsjäger it gets pushed into some of the harshest terrain a sniper can work.

U.S. Recon Marines with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion in Afghanistan, 2010. There’s a small piece of history sitting right there on that SAW. When Grip Pod Systems were mass issued, just about everyone slapped one on their weapon, and you can tell this gunner hadn’t run his SAW much yet, because the gun’s weight snapped those bipod legs in no time.

Guys were swapping back to real aftermarket bipods or the issued ones about as fast as they’d put the GPS on in the first place. On the SAW the thing threw off the balance too, sitting further back than a normal bipod and making the gun feel wrong long before the legs ever gave out.

Funny enough, a GPS with the legs stripped off made a solid side mounted grip on the 240s. The kind of detail only the people who carried it would ever notice.

Mike Vining, one of Delta’s earliest operators, in the mountains with 22 SAS. The connection here is no accident. Beckwith modeled Delta on the SAS after his time with the regiment, and the two units have trained and bled together ever since. To see a plank holder like Vining working the high ground with the British is to see that founding partnership in living form.
