Cool vid, i was there during the same time in Belulik Letan (BL) with Fox Tp. You look to have had a far better camera than the one we had to record our vid lol!
Best peacekeeping army in the world and 1 of the most respected...4 a small country we have big things like our army and did big things in our history...we have the 6th best army in the world and were neutral and peacekeepers...cmon the irish
I was there in 2001 with the 5ircon.. Them donegal lads were brillant...
There is a guy in the photos who couldnt patrol with the lads cause he had a sore back. I think he ended up working in the comcen.... I remeber a mad sgt con aswell.. Nice video....
Ireland should be proud that we have an army that fights for, and defends the humanity of oppressed peoples in war torn countries throughout the world-I have nothing but respect for all who serve in Oglaigh Na HEireann-
Thanks for doing great job for my Country Batalion 28 we meet always in the youtube Suia will be the meeting point of Irish in the future with the great holiday....
@MadMaxUSVN haha you have poorley trained and equiped soldiers have you won a battle in the last 100 years?? a very poor millitary in trained equipment not many troops you usually buy stuff off us
@TheGunner1324 This is the ARW mate.Recently came in 3rd place in the world in the Special Forces Wargames tournament which tests how good special army units perform.They bet the Uk and America so I think they cant be criticised in any shape or form.
@0oPadmano0 SAS and SBS train nearly every special force probably yours to can you give me the site for i can check my self i also heard that these games have been rigged than some special forces like the the sEAL's and others and condiering you came 3rd it raised suspesions and its getting checked it you probably did rig it
@TheGunner1324 wow I didnt think you were that stupid.It takes two intelligent people to have an intelligent argument and considering that you have the iq of a goldfish im ending this here...bye

I was there in 2000 with Irish Soldiers! These pics were mostly taken in Taroman - Fatululik, one of the sub-districts in Suai where Irish soldiers were based. I still remember when refugees returned home in 2000, it was hectic and I think Irish soldiers did a very good job to provide transport for them. The road was very bad and I ended up spending the night at the river.
Thx for posting!
keep doing the good job! Few but get the job done - irish
What the hell are you guys doing thee ?you should be throwing out all the illegal nigerian scammers back in MEATH AND DUBLIN. IRELAND NEEDS YOU HOME WITH THE ILLEGAL INVASION.OVER 13 PERCENT OF IRELAND IS NON IRISH NOW.
I think it was only rangers. A unit of about 40 at a time were sent on several four month tours of duty. They were attached to a unit of New Zealand SAS. There's possbly more information on the defence forces website.
Only for the iniatial intervention (INTERFET) afterwards the were attached to NZBATT 1,2,3 etc.Irich Platoon looked after a coy size area called AO Cu Chulainn.
Approx 240 troops overall. 1st and 2nd contingent were arw, after that line troops went. They did have to be selected though and generally only the best were selected. Approx 8 contingents of 4-5 month tours.
More or less,NZBATT III were relieved by NZBATT IV before the end of our mission, when all the guys came up to say goodbye they somehow managed to get our National Flag from the flag pole! The first we knew was when they produced it from the back of a nmv driving down the track. i have it on video, for a future posting
I seen some of the lads photos looked the dogs bits. Yea I managed to get a bit of training in with the arw prior to the trip leaving. remember they wore the brit dpm, I made a bit of a mistake when I spotted one of them around kilbride. funny story, but not for here!. well nice speaking to you comrade, im out now, and wish i was back in every day. hopefully sign up with the reserve in dundalk, apparently i go straight in as a nco, with 5 years. so looking forward to that. AIRE.
It would have been the first platoon to go out, must have been the spring of 2000, because I remember coming out of the laois,. im 90% sure it was a four month tour. I had no over seas service at that stage and was really pissed of I didint get on that trip, ended up in the leb with the 87th and 89th (the un cushy pull out tour). I also remember an aussie officer coming over to inspect the platoon before they left. would have loved to have been in timor, apparenlty its just like belfast LOL.
alright mate, served with the 2nd infantry battlion in he LEB, never got to go to east timor because of HOTEL duty, I trained with the 2nd inf bt that went out though, sgt paul mulhearn and fat mick murtagh from down. good to see this stuff on you tube. spread the word. RAPE PILLAGE MURDER, 2INF BATT DUBLIN. BELFAST BRIGADE.
Great video! Training to become a communication engineer for the Defense Forces.

Joke-sters they are. Of course they stole it because it rivaled their own flag.
We tried chaining our flag down to no avail and consider stealing the flag a complement.
