Marvin L'Aday, CPKF Ranger Commando (pictured)
Commonwealth Peace Keeping Forces, Cameron Base
Yesterday I re-introduced you to some CPKF Special Operations troopers (see here), recently re-equipped with BrickArms weapons.
I thought I'd provide you with some additonal fiction and a photo that follows the scheme of previously profiled CPKF characters. I'll get around to adding the watermark sometime later.
This special platoon (three squads) consists of fifteen troopers, recruited from the ranks of the CPKF Rangers. Assigned to forward (planetside) ground operations. The CPKF Ranger Commandos are like bats out of hell - they're gone when the morning comes...
Known for their pre-dawn infiltrations and strikes, these troopers are critical in setting up (target painting) missions for large AeroSpace strike campaigns to simple agent insertion into hostile territories. Although they're mandates are pretty aggressive compared to standard Peace Keeper operations, (they're sometimes referred to as the Sinners at the Gates Of Heaven...), the CPKF Ranger Commandos have a rather pleasant temperament. Keeping calm and listening to their Rock and Roll makes for effective team work. Unfortunately they, like their CPKF Armourer Tarr Gets, are all crap at karaoke... once upon a time was a back beat...
You want them? You need them? Well there ain't no way you're ever gonna get 'em...
Don't be sad.
Two out of three ain't bad.

TAUNTON, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 16: Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh walks after presenting Royal Marines from 40 Commando with their campaign medals following a six-month deployment in Sangin, Afghanistan at Norton Camp Barracks, on November 16, 2010 in Taunton, England. During their deployment to Afghanistan, 14 marines were killed and 11 were seriously injured. About 600 marines from the base at Norton Fitzwarren in Somerset had been serving since April 2010 in the Sangin area of Helmand Province before it was taken over by US forces in September.
Royal Marine commandos with M Company, 42 Commando, and a counter-improvised explosive device team with the Royal Corps of Engineers, swept northern Nad'Ali district, Helmand province, during Operation Zamrod Olai. June 25. The operation involved a helo-borne insertion of Marine commandos into an area that had previously seen very little coalition and Afghan security forces presence in order to disrupt insurgent operations and engage with locals.

The old and the new: the 4th Battalion (Commando), the Royal Australian Regiment, (4 RAR [Cdo]) Beret and the 2nd Commando Regiment (2 Cdo Regt) Beret in front of the new 2 Cdo Regt sign at the name change ceremony at Holsworthy Barracks, Sydney.
Mid Caption:
Army’s 4th Battalion (Commando), The Royal Australian Regiment (4 RAR [Cdo]), has been officially renamed as the 2nd Commando Regiment (2 Cdo Regt) at a ceremony at Tobruk Lines, Holsworthy, today.
The ceremony, reviewed by Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Ken Gillespie, saw the march-off of the 4 RAR colours and the unfurling of the new 2 Cdo Regt flag.
4 RAR (Cdo) began commando transition in 1996 when the Government directed Army to establish a second commando regiment with the ability to conduct special recovery and strike operations.
Lieutenant General Gillespie said the name 2 Cdo Regt more accurately reflected the roles and capabilities of the commandos and their command structure, which are distinct from the Army’s conventional infantry battalions.
It also reflects the unit’s historical links to the Australian Independent Commando Companies that operated in the Southwest Pacific in the Second World War.
During the ceremony, 4 RAR’s colours were handed over to a School of Infantry Colour Party to be held in perpetuity.
Lieutenant Colonel Gillespie said 4 RAR (Cdo) will remain on Army’s Order of Battle, with its history, colours and traditions preserved for future service as and when required by the nation.
2 Cdo Regt joins the Special Air Service Regiment, Incident Response Regiment, 1st Commando Regiment, the Special Forces Training Centre and the Special Operations Logistics Squadron as part of Army’s Special Operations Command.

The first iteration of the Light Fighters School Commando Course graduated from the program this week.
I'm not sure what to do with these guys. They are obviously B.A but I'm not sure weather to have them be Weird War II German snow troopers or British Tactical Commandos or what.
For now they are Snow Commandos
