Default Re: OBAT 29 - Norway

I've done some more digging, and this is what I found:

1. The paratroopers are currently organised only as platoons, not as companies. Their equipment include the C8 rifle (my bad, thought I saw M16s on some pictures), M72s, Carl Gustavs, MP5s, various sniper rifles including the M82, and MG3s. They also use helicopters and the aforementioned AAMG MB jeep.
2. The assault divers (MJK - Marinejegerkommando) are organised much the same way with the same equipment plus assault boats. They are considered to be the toughest and best of the conscripted units in the Norwegian army.

So far, I haven't been able to identify the exact platoon layout. Sniper and scout teams exist, and even though these most likely operate as a part of the platoon, I haven't been able to confirm this. If the web doesn't take me any further, I think I'll send them a mail...
