who knows, it's probably aftermarket.
I love how one of you said "they look more like SF than Peacekeepers". well fact is, this isn't a peacekeeping operation, just like Bandit said. In addition, things have changed since the last major peackeeping op in the balkans. new uniforms, vehicles, technology and weapons have changed the look of the canadian soldier. if we had all the things we do now back in the 90s, we'd have worn it there too.
you might have noticed that many of the soldiers aren't wearing the issued tactical vest and have instead opted for an aftermarket chest rig or something along those lines. This is primarily because the TV isn't suitable for most combat troops and the reality is that only an aftermarket rig does the job. That does not make these soldiers into Special Forces. it merely indicates the variety and relaxed uniform code that deployed troops enjoy at the moment. Back in canada, troops are much more restricted and need to make do with issue stuff.
