Our team has nine members, which is a count that hasn't changed a long time. We try to copy classic infantry fireteam scheme - despite of sometimes rough information about IDF issues we have. On the other hand we try to keep up with differencies and trends within israel special forces. These details we consult with our friends in Israel.
As for the member count we know that our team isn't equal to regular infantry fireteam, but this is a very common routine in all military reenacting teams. As we said, we try to copy classic infantry scheme, that means folowing facts:
| Ranks
samal rishon
samal
rav turai = rabat | Functions
rifleman
radio operator
medic
marksman
MG operator |
We continue in gathering standard gear that is used in IDF SF (e.g.: we all use tactical goggles, replacing old flak vests by bulletproof ceramic ones, we equip our guns with MARS Reflex Sights, ACOG optics etc)...
As for the "get close to the real deal" thing, we carry in our vests real magazines full of inert rounds, that have the same weight as the real ones, we carry inert LAW rockets and similar stuff. This also differs us from ordinary "airsofters" who get only gun, snack into pocket and go fight.
