The EU nations are starting to announce their force packages for the Lebanon mission. I'll post them here as they come up because they might be indicative of what we might see in an expansion pack or two for CMSF. ;)
Spain will send to LIBANO the BRIMAR 900 to 1000 soldiers.
The BRIMAR, with headquarters in San Fernando, Cadiz, it is composed by a Unit of Headquarters, two battalions of Disembarkation, a Battalion Mechanized of Disembarkation, a Group of Artillery of Disembarkation, a Unit of Special Operations, a Group of Support of Services of Combat and a Group of Special Weapon. Between his material emphasize the vehicles of high tactical mobility Hummer, armored vehicles Mowag Pirahna, vehicles of amphibious assault, missile launcher counter car TOW II, self-propelled howitzers and anti-aircraft missile launchers Mistral.
LD (EFE) Sources of the Department of Defense have confirmed that the holder, José Antonio Alonso, turned instructions in order that they begin the preparations of the unfolding of the military quota in the Lebanon, formed for effective of the Brigade of Marina's infantry (BRIMAR). Also it he ordered to the Brigade of the Legion (BRILEG) that it he, should do the own thing since this military body will realize the first relief to the infantes between October and November. Though still the concrete numbers are not known, Spain might send to the zone between eight hundred and thousand soldiers.
France
* HQ (Brigade-level, from 2e Brigade Blindée)
* Two mechanised infantry companies (AMX 10P AFVs) from 1er Régiment de Marche du Tchad (1er RMT)
* Leclerc MBT squadron from 6-12e Régiment de Cuirassiers
* Artillery battery (AUF1 SP arty) from 1er Régiment d'Artillerie de Marine
* Close range air defence section (from Artillery Brigade)
* Cobra radar section (from Artillery Brigade)
* Logistical support unit
Total: c. 900 troops by 15th September. More to follow.
Currently, elements of the French 2e Regiment Etranger du Genie are in Lebanon. For the record, I'd give my firstborn to Steve if he lets me play with the Foreign Legion.
