Default Re: Comments, suggestions and problem reports

My question is a bit of a general one. What equipment should there be in the OOB?

In Finland the Border Guard is working under Interior Ministry (and not Ministry of Defence) at times of peace but in crisis situations will be under presidential command just like FDF. Some of the equipment - namely Bell 412 helicopters - have already been listed in the OOB with a radio code X3.

Border Guard also gets some conscripts for special purposes such as special border jaegars and then the rest (and most) as border jaegars who are specialized in patrolling, reconnaissance and sabotage. Special border jaegars are like special forces for Sissis and are selected from candidates by strict criteria.

Things that could be included in OOB:
- AW 119 Ke Koala [204 - Light Helicopter] 1/2010-
- AS 332 Super Puma [53 - Helicopter] 1/2012?-
- Bell 206 [204 - Light Helicopter] 1/1968-12/2012 (first operated by FDF, from 1979 onwards by Border Guard)
- Special Border Jaegars [88 - Commando Scouts]

If this is something that potentially could go into the Finnish OOB I could do more thorough background check with references and suggest the units.
