What is interesting that some villiage security guards also spotted among the group. The Villiage Security Guards (in Turkish "Güvenlik Korucusu") are a para-military group from the villiages and small towns of the south-eastern parts of the Turkey, (especially near the Iraqi and Iranian border line) who volunteered to protect their villiages against any possible terrorist attack and to provide security and trained, equipped and paid by the Turkish government in this regards. Accourding to Turkish news up untill now 60 villiage guards volunteered to fight in Syria. I guess army wants to use them because they know the region better than the military and also most of them can speak Kurdish since they are ethnically Kurdish origin...

what kind of cameras the troops are wearing on their helmets? Private purchase or government issued?

Probably government issued. Looks like some Go-Pro model but I am not sure. Like we have told on the other forum before, Gendarmerie is using Drift HD Ghost models on their ops-core helmets that purchased by the governmet in 2015 but for this idk. Even could be bought fromthe the private budget of the unit itself.

This is an expensive setup. Didn't know the Turkish units have discretionary funds. I'm looking for inexpensive Chinese-brand action cam that is rugged one for military duty.

Well, not for the entire armed forces but some spesific units such as commando brigades, marines, international troops and gendarmerie units has flexibility to provide their own type of equipment apart from the standard issue equipment with their allocated unit budget under the authorization of the unit commanders or get funds for that with the special request of the brigade generals. However Turkish Gendarmerie is a very spesificcase since it is accepted as a law-enforcement unit alongside with the Turkish Coast Guard and directly funded by the Turkish Ministry of Interior unlike tha other main branches of the Armed Forces (Army/Navy/Air Force) . So this also gives them more space to provide whatever equipment they want in personnel level since they have not that complex systems to maintain like other branches and money comes from a different source...
