I assume by (less then likly) "technical" support team you're implying say an SAS team?

They now call themselves G4S in the ever diminishing circle of corporate re-branding that companies seem to be going through. Used to be Group 4 Security before. http://www.g4s.com/ - The same lot that had the contract for Olympics and the army had to be drafted in when that went pear-shaped.

"Technical" support is locally-hired armed guards, a term that apparently the UN invented for internal book-keeping PC purposes around the time of Somalia. (We cant admit to paying for thugs with AKs can we?). Its also why the armed pick-up trucks got the term transferred sideways from the armed guards who rode round in them when escorting UN convoys in-country.

The correct term for the Special Air Service Regiment in service parlance is 'Them'. (The ARRSEPedia sez so! ): http://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/SAS

The ARmy Rumour SErvice (www.arrse.co.uk) is a useful place to go for information on the UK forces. Some searching on that forum might answer your question?. (Be warned that its totally non-PC and conversation is often in squaddie).
