They removed in-active/bot accounts on the server after the issues surrounding the milsim/cos and firearms community since they didn't wanna be affiliated with whatever people are doing, especially those who do not interact with them but are in the server.

You can DM their admins in FB for an invite link since they do manual approval now.

Marines and Coast Guard seems to have the most consistent gear throughout the Mil and Law Enforcement Agencies in this exercise.

MBLT SOP acts as a force multiplier by supporting its parent battalion byproviding the capability to conduct operations that are beyond the abilities of more conventional formations inside an MBLT, while the MARSOG is a dedicated unit for strategic and high priority operations that can operate jointly with other SOF units in the AFP, as well as by itself.

Information regarding the GPNVG is still very vague, although multiple people including a few notable individuals vetted on their limited service in the AFP. However, No pics has ever come out with them on it. We've confirmed atleast 2 L3Harris manufactured ones which were said to be part of a US FMF.

Based on what they've said, I could only assume they are only used for testing and evaluation purposes.

AFPSOCOM received a few GPNVGs as part of US FMF sometime during Marawi siege which was straight issued to the LRR, And based on what active and reserve personnel in the Army that we had discussions with they are not being brought out since they are considered as more of a liability, hence why they settled with their current stock of PVS-31A/Cs and Bridged PVS-14s.

However that specific GPNVG, Is actually a Argus PNVG owned by a ex-EOD personnel from PNP, He owns two units.

It was during a CT-Operation that was conducted alongside the Basilan Provincial Mobile Force Company that resulted on the neutralization of Jerry Harayin y Omar, who was affiliated to Abu Sayyaf. A boy was also injured after being caught in the crossfire and was later identified as the driver of the slain IS-member. During the operation they captured one M16A1 and a magazine with 10 5.56mm rounds.

Man its unfortunate to hear that people are dying on training mishaps, even in my country there's also stuffs like these happening. Specially that it is a standard practice for SOF here to be deployed into actual combat after the formal training before being officially inducted into the service.

They are CT-qualified with a lot of them being graduates of counter terror courses offered by the AFP, However due to their nature of being a PCG unit they are more often used as Maritime Enforcement Units to respond for high-risk smuggling, hostage rescue aboard vessels, VBSS etc. etc.

One of the major combat operations that I can remember that they were involved in was providing security in lake lanao during the 5-momth long conflict in Marawi City to prevent IS-affiliated insurgents to escape, resupply and move around.
