SOD is a command element. It is to test out the joint command concept across the entire SOF forces. SOD is supposed to function with 3000 soldiers across three different unitss. While the units will train together for jointness they will be different units (SF, Marcos, Garud)

That artical talks of a seperate 200 odd man unit where selection is open to all three SOF units but it will be one organic unit for independent taskinfs with their own intelligence, logistics and air support.
Thank you for the clarification

The person in the right side is using a technique straight out of Israel
Also called Pie cutting not really Israeli been around for a while. Whether the Garud is doing it because it's part of SOP or because he too watches the same YouTube videos we do no idea.

But this is the essense of it. Depending on senario it is done in various ways

A lot of Israeli influences in the Garuds methods.

Take a look at the method of taping
Yes instead of the tape from 20/30 years ago they have an attachment. NSG has had them on thr MP5s and Sigs for a very long time. I.e both mags pointing in the same direction

I am not saying that there is no Israeli influence. Just saying that this isn't the evidence for that statement

I remember this, doesn’t seem related to AFSOD at all, this is more of a JSOC type unit.

doesn’t seem entirely pie in the sky either, they outline quite a few definitive characteristics here

Doubt we will ever see/hear of this unit again though
In this, they mention:-
The soldiers in the attack unit, apart from having top fighting skills, will know specialised field craft such as reading hi-tech maps and coordinating with air support, which the unit will eventually get.
They talking about Forward Air Controllers or Combat Controllers similar to those in US SOCOM?

Isn't that big? We don't have that capability right now, do we?
First basis this article we don't if this is a real thing or mental masturbation of a journalist, or if he misunderstood his source about AFSOD

Second. We have to start somewhere. I believe we have an abinitio capability already via the Garud.
@AVINASH4061 can clarify if this is real or not

That is the style we usually see multiple mags attached together by NSG, PARAs, RR etc. i.e Conventional style.

This is the Israeli method.

It's an Israeli piece of kit to make an old method more efficient.
Go to the YouTube link
It's not an "Israeli Kit", it's a regular Magazine coupler, The "Israeli" way is just, maybe, probably, the Israeli SOF's innovation in terms of a minor technique
