    Hello,

    My holidays by Lorient (Brittany), the home of our French Navy SF, brought me to meet a Sniper and CTLO menber from the Trépel/Jaubert' Commandos.

    CTLO means Contre-Terrorisme et Libération d'Otages.

    Here are few things which have been used in Afghanistan by this Navy Commando Sniper which did three tours ; Task Force Arès, TF Jéhol and Jéhol V (May - October 2011) among TF 32 too.

    - Polo souvenir CTLO. Made in Djibouti by AFRICAAN DJIBOUTI and embroidered in Afgha' by 2010.
    - Sweet-shirt Commando Trépel. Fruit of the Loom brand.
    - 1 Afgha CTLO patch , 1 Afgha Breizh' Punisher patch. (Breizh = Brittany)
    - 1 Tactical Vest Made in Afghanistan. Copy of a Lefay one.
    - 1 Chest Rig made by DECATHLON GEOLOGIC used for sniping purpose
    - 1 cap with velcro. PARKS OUTDOOR PASSION brand.

    Cheers and Season Greetings !

    Trépel and Jaubert Commandos are belonging to special forces specialized in assaults at sea, exfiltration and intelligence operations. The Naval Commandos are nicknamed bérets verts (Green Berets).

    Hello everyone,

    New addition to this thread. Two lids from my Lorient' Commando Marine connection. I know there is no connection with OEF/OIF but he is coming from the same source.

    My Commando Jaubert team' contact probably did invest in brand new assault helmet as they get rid of few and I did grab this one.

    Old School Rollers, Skate or bike black helmet used for sea assault training and operations. The owner put some tape on the top to prevent his head from the sea water. Still some sand inside.

    Then follow this parachute training soft helmet (normally orange) which received a hand made camouflage by a Commando Marine at the time he was practicing automatic opening parachute trainings. No he is a HALO.
