All that Fifty, does it mean they got 50 members or inducting 50 new joiners?
I believe the ready team is around a dozen or so only. The rest is used for training and as reserves.
So optics and nvgs are not standard issue and have to be hot swapped between members on duty?
I do not think so but it is likely the go or ready team will be equipped with weapons and optics all the time.
