Warum wurden die Deutschen als "Counterparts" der amerikanischen Infanteristen bezeichnet? Im Englischen meint das Wort nicht ein momentanes, sondern ein vergleichbares Gegenüber. Und sollten 'Schwarzwälder' die Anwesenheit eines Mass Communication Specialists nicht weniger gelassen hinnehmen?

Forces spéciales: CPA10, experts 3D
Mise à jour: 25/03/2014 11:26 - Auteur: E. Krempff / R. Connan - Direction: DICOD
Ils maitrisent le savoir-faire commando et sont spécialistes du domaine aéronautique. Les commandos parachutistes de l’air n°10 (CPA10) d’Orléans cultivent leur expertise au profit des opérations spéciales. La rédaction a passé quelques jours à leurs côtés lors de manœuvres d’entrainements à Djibouti, dans la corne de l’Afrique.
Au programme : guidage appui feu et poser d’assaut, en d’autres termes, comment guider un avion de chasse pour détruire une cible ou faire atterrir un avion en plein désert.

Les commandos parachutistes de l’air d’Orléans sont les spécialistes de l’aide au poser d’assaut. Ils sont capables de faire atterrir n’importe quel aéronef, notamment en plein milieu du désert, comme ici, dans le désert de Grand Bara à Djibouti - R. Connan/DICOD

Les commandos peuvent créer une piste d’atterrissage en sondant un terrain et en le marquant avec des balises spéciales, de jour comme de nuit, quasiment n’importe où sur la planète - R. Connan/DICOD

Pour travailler au mieux la nuit, les CPA10 d’Orléans sont équipés d’un dispositif spécial de vision nocturne, permettant d’intensifier la lumière ou de grossir l’image - R. Connan/DICOD

Pendant l'atterrissage, les marqueurs au sol restent en appui le long de la piste - R. Connan/DICOD
