1) Operation Telic VIII - The British Army in Iraq Carl Schulze
continues his enthralling look at troops in Iraq, and this time the
spotlight falls on the British Army."Operation Telic" is the
British designation for operations in Iraq, and a full thirty pages
are dedicated to Telic's eighth rotation. The whole gamut of
British Army hardware is on display, including Land Rovers, DURO
trucks, Cobra truck-mounted radar, Saxons, Warriors, Scimitars,
Challenger 2 tanks, and even a range of helicopters. Their
operators are also well covered, and photos reveal interesting
uniform and weapon details. For a detailed look at Brits in Iraq,
this article fits the bill! 2) Operation Athena - Canadians in
Afghanistan One of the stalwarts in the NATO-led stabilization of
Afghanistan is Canada. The Canadian Army supplies numerous troops
to ISAF, and they are supported by a wide range of equipment. This
article examines the contingent in Kabul, which has by now
relocated to Kandahar. There is good coverage of the LAV family,
with Bisons., Coyotes and LAV IIIs all captured in high-quality
photos. Infantry equipment and other vehicles are all present too.

The Colibri series of exercises takes place annually between French
and German airborne forces. As such, this article examines
paratroopers from both nations before, during and after parachute
jumps. Parachute and infantry equipment are well illustrated, as
are support vehicles such as the Wiesel , VBL, ERC-90, and several
different helicopters. 4) Regiment"Folgore" - 185th Airborne
Artillery Target Acquisition This journal also includes Italians in
the form of an elite Target Acquisition (TA) unit. This 185th
Regiment of the famous"Folgore" Brigade recently transitioned into
