In the next few days, Lin Rui and his team members stayed in the core area of ​​Deng Shen Island. Develop detailed plans around how to board the ship and start operations.

"We have a considerable degree of understanding of the situation of the US military base. Because we have cooperated with the US military base in Djibouti in previous joint operations with the US military. Especially in terms of base maintenance and security, we can say that we have undertaken A considerable part of the responsibility.

Therefore, thanks to these tasks, we have a great understanding of the security situation of the US military base in Djibouti. Although our cooperation with the US military has ended and its base defense work has been handed over, judging from the intelligence currently available, the situation at the Djibouti base should not have changed much. "Jiangian looked at the latest information sent.

"It is no use that we are familiar with the situation at the base. Because we are going to board a warship in the base." Sergey shook his head.

"That's right. But this warship still has to comply with the security regulations of the US military base." Jiang An nodded, "Based on our understanding of the Djibouti base, I suggest starting from the base and trying to sneak into the base first. Then find a way to board the ship and do what we should do. If we can’t even get in to the base, then don’t talk about other things.”

"We have a certain understanding of the defense of the base, so about the destroyer Arleigh Burke, is there any special defense?" Lin Rui asked.

"Boss, you got the idea." Jiang An nodded, "The Arleigh Burke destroyer has a special combat force to escort. This force is the US Marine Corps anti-terrorism security force, also known as the special force of FAST. .

This is a special force dedicated to providing the navy with the security of ships. This force is dispatched from within the Marine Corps according to its personnel requirements, and the requirements for personnel quality are quite high. Since the naval anti-terrorism security force is a high-risk combat single-action unit, there are no female members in the force. They are more focused on combat tactics training in security and defense, rather than on offensive tactics training in hand-to-hand combat like other special forces in the Marine Corps. "

"FAST? Looks hard to deal with, tell me about this unit." Lin Rui nodded.

“In fact, they are really not easy to mess with. From the 1970s to the early 1980s, the maritime platform’s counter-terrorism missions received more attention. The mainstream trend worldwide.

At that time, the Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy were simultaneously carrying out a plan to establish a counter-terrorism force for maritime tasks. The Navy’s US Navy SEALs established a rapid response team. Although the Marine Corps did not establish an independent counter-terrorist force, it has Begin to plan and share naval counter-terrorism resources.

The bombing of the US Marine Corps in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983 and the kidnapping of General Zieg at a US military base in Germany in 1982 made the US Navy and Marine Corps commanders feel uneasy and pressured.

Therefore, the highly classified ‘U.S. Navy Terrorist Personnel Unit’ consisting of 14 members was born, and the military called it the 6 Red Blood Cell Team. In the mid-1980s, they used terrorist methods and techniques, using sound and light simulation effects and effect bombs to simulate attacks on several heavily guarded naval bases. As these rehearsals were not notified or warned in advance, they caused a lot of panic.

The results of the exercise show that the US naval base is full of loopholes. Later, the army was forced to be disbanded in the early 1990s because officials did not like this method of checking for deficiencies. But their simulated exercises fully sounded the alarm, and the Marine Corps also began to investigate and research related security vulnerabilities and defense enhancement programs.

Under such background and conditions, the Marine Corps established a naval anti-terrorism security force in 1987. At the beginning of its establishment, this force was directly defined as being able to participate in or independently perform defensive combat missions and military security missions, as well as the security work of important military installations. It is also responsible for defending a series of ships such as nuclear-powered submarines docked for supply, and at the same time accepts the direct dispatch and command of the Supreme Commander of the Naval Operations Department. "Jian An replied.

"It doesn't sound like that much. And it's not well-known. It's far behind the Navy SEALs, isn't it?" Sergey shrugged.

"You are wrong to think so. The Navy SEALs are offensive forces, and they are anti-terrorist defense forces. All naval anti-terrorism security forces must be fully trained at the Chesapeake Security Defense School in Virginia. Especially Special orientation training such as close-range indoor team shooting tactics is required, and he is very good at close-range combat of the team.

Each of their standard warning signs consists of two commanders and at least 48 team members, which are subdivided into two security teams, each in charge of one commander. The fire support card is mainly responsible for the operation of the company's support weapons, including 29 team support weapons, 7 team members responsible for 60mm infantry mortars, and 13 team members responsible for suppressing firepower. There are also many precision shooters. In fact, as far as professional defensive operations are concerned, the SEALs cannot match them. "Jian An replied.

"It looks quite tricky." Lin Rui muttered, "About how many people are there? How about the weaponry and equipment?"

Jiang Jian replied, “This ship’s anti-terrorism security force includes 4 standard security platoons with nearly 200 people. And they don’t rely on all close combat to solve actual combat problems. They are better at building up near military facilities at the fastest speed. Stable vitality resource points and temporary regional circular defense lines.

Once they find a problem, they will immediately ensure the full security of the target, and at the same time adjust and enhance the original security measures, including the number of guards and personnel, pre-ambustion of key access areas and professional patrol searches.

In other words, once we are discovered by them, they will limit and drag us at the fastest speed, and it will be difficult for us to get out. In terms of weapons and equipment, they did not emphasize the installation of the M4A1 carbine of the US special operations module plan. Instead, the M16A2 issued by the U.S. Marine Corps was used as the basic individual weapon.

According to the uniform regulations of the Marine Corps, it is equipped with m9 pistols. They are also equipped with Thunderstorm 700 shotguns, and Benelli shotguns installed in the new territory. The sniper is equipped with a DMR sniper rifle. And they often need to independently build a ring of defense with a complete vitality structure, so they are equipped with M249 squad support weapons and M60 general machine guns as fixed support firepower. There is also the Browning m2 heavy machine gun, as a defensive support firepower.

In terms of large-caliber weapons, it is equipped with automatic grenade launchers, 60 mortars, and 88 individual anti-tank rocket launchers. "
