I just noticed that they're using the naval jack on the left sleeve instead of the regular flag. Is this a new regulation or has this been done before?

I just noticed that they're using the naval jack on the left sleeve instead of the regular flag. Is this a new regulation or has this been done before?

I don't know. I think when the USN went to the green "Navy Working Uniform" the Navy Jack was added.

Navy Jack



The First Navy Jack flag is a revolutionary war flag featuring thirteen red and white stripes with a rattlesnake and the words “Don’t Tread On Me” emblazoned across the center.

The thirteen stripes are intended to represent the original 13 colonies that eventually became the United States of America. The rattlesnake is a historic symbol of resistance.

This flag was likely developed in the late 1700s. While the flag has had various uses throughout the years, it has been most commonly used as a maritime flag by the US Navy.

The First Navy Jack was the naval jack of the United States from 1975 to 1976 and again from 2002 to 2019. It was authorized by the U.S. Navy and was flown from the jackstaff of commissioned vessels of the U.S. Navy while moored pierside or at anchor. It is now only used as a naval jack by the oldest active warship in the U.S. Navy. The design is traditionally regarded as that of the first U.S. naval jack flown in the earliest years of the United States' existence, though this is disputed by the historical record.

The Austrian military magazine doppeladler.com noted with interest the presence of women among German Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) during exercise EURAD 2019.

As they did that no two German soldiers in their photo series are uniformed and equipped the same. ?

A Member of Delhi Police All Women SWAT Team stands guard at Red Fort, Delhi

What on earth is an all-women swat team?

I know some special units have made an effort to recruit women for tasks where their smaller built comes in handy (infiltration or reconnaissance) or their deployment is psychologically useful (e.g. German SWAT teams have found hostages or suspect's families are less likely to suffer from PTSD if women join the entry team). But why would you go the lengths of setting up an all-female unit?

And what on earth is that officer equipped with?

Any Spaniard should identify a box of biscuits form "surtidos Martínez", also dras my attention how the right girl observes the Spanish woman in uniform. I think she may be a Doctor or similar.
