                <![CDATA[These guys are from Pioneer Platoon, 1 RCR. The pic was taken in Kosovo during the riots in Mitrovica in 2000. Pioneer Platoon lined up its engineer variant M-113's with the dozer blades raised to form steel wall across the bridge over the Ibar River in order to stop the 50 000-man human tide....and then manhandled any of the Kosovar Albanians who tried to climb over it away from the barricade. The UK&nbsp;Army Warrior in the background was from their QRF which was set up adjacent to the bridge.<br />

                <![CDATA[Agreed - the clothing/helmet/lbv combo is circa 1997-2000.&nbsp;&nbsp; The jackets are what was then the &quot;new&quot; gore-tex jackets (intro 1994) but before the new cadpat, the helmets are the Canadian design which I think came in in 1997 and the lbvs are 1990s vintage.<br />
<br />
Usually the Pats pioneers I worked with were a bit more trimmed, but if they'd been living in a patrol house for a few weeks...]]>

                They would be members of the pioneer platoon for one of our infantry bns, probably one of the RCR(Royal Canadian Regiment) Bns. I never worked with the PPCLI or the Van Doos, so I don&apos;t know if they share the same beard tradition for their pioneers. The clothing, eqpt and British Army Warrior in the background indicates they are in the FRY, probably Bosnia with SFOR. They have Canadian helmets, rather than the U.S. helmets we deployed with on IFOR, but they still have the canvas LBV and no CADPAT other than the helmet covers.
