And combined, they form the GCP group, which are attached to the French CUS, which is their Special Operations Command. So you can act as Pathfinders for your regiment, or you can work as the group and be second tier attached to the CUS. Gotcha. So at least I had a bit of, you know, that side of stuff.

So we bought, well, we, Armour Group, bought, you know, used Mercedes Armour. We put the run flats on them. Two vehicle moves. And the idea was to just fly under the radar. We were not over or, you know, low-profile. And it would be two expats, myself and Iraqis. And we had AKs at that point. PKM. We had the, I think we had the Sig at that, or not, or we still had the Russian, what was it, Makarov?

And what we were doing is we were driving around, you know, the Bechtel guys that were looking at, you know, FLIR, USAID.

I remember the armor was ex-Para Reg, British Para Reg. So the Iraqis would show up in the morning. They would go home at night, obviously. They'd show up in the morning.
