KEYWORDS: army; egypt; eritrea; military; peacekeeping; sinai; yemen
In a nutshell, no offensive actions [I wonder what their ROE are], being shelled daily, injuries from IED's, any movements or protective strategies have to be approved by Egypt and Israel.
Are they allowed to have live ammo or is this another Beirut? grrrrrr.

Your best defense would be to just kill off ISIS and everyone that aids them in any way.

They couldnt have thought of ways before sending them there? How pathetic of the leadership. Cant even think of the possible scenarios. Douchbags running the military.

Watching the video, they are there as part of the Egypt/Israel Sinai war treaty? Been how long? Nothing like being prepared, eh?

I'm sure a LOT has changed since I was there (85-86) but the OPs spread down the entire length of the Sinai are armed with ammo. Three contingents / three sectors, the southern sector being US, along with South Camp. South Camp is a lot like stateside bases, armed perimeter guards / reaction force, everyone else's weapon secured. Probably different now depending on threat level.
Expensive boondoggle since '82, mostly financed by US with the stated purpose of being buffer between Egypt and Israel, observing troop/weapons movements for UN.
Actually a suicide watch for Egypt to make sure they don't attack Israel.
Other than alert when Reagan bombed Qaddafi the only threat was to my liver. Bottle of Crown was $4.25

Thank you for that. At least they are permitted ammo.

Egypt needs to invade Eritrea and Djibouti just long enough to obliterate the Iranian terrorists operating there, then support Saudi Arabia in its fight to obliterate the Iranian terrorists and proxies in Yemen. Sinai would clear up much faster that way.

Praying more than usual for these of our military.
