Pretty neat stuff.  Their CADPAT like long sleeve shirts are interesting with the Canadian flag patch on their left shoulder and assaulter badge on their right shoulder.

Hybrid shirts have been out for a few years now. Many troops were issued the arid version in Afghanistan.


I see our Canadian boy's Russian "Mafia" tattoo is drawing some debate/comments.

Actual name for the competition is "Fuerzas Comando 2012." More photo's/video's here and here. The second link at the beginning has some photo's/video's of the competition, then some random photo's of Colombian forces, then more competition pictures, including one that show's that on the morning of June 11, Canada was in 8th place.

Neat to see them wearing the FSSF patch on the right sleeve.

Looks like CP Gear OTW Shirts.

There are no JTF2 Assaulter or CSOR Operator badges on any of them.  They are wearing the FSSF patch on their right sleeve.

Looks like they hit the gym twice a day.

Why would you guess CJIRU?


Due to them wearing FSSF patches and CSOR having the FSSF lineage/history I'd guess that they are CSOR Operators.

Nah, just once a day. For several hours.
