Thank you for watching! If you enjoyed the video, Subscribe for more here - Formed in 1980, Ireland’s Army Ranger Wing has been conducting highly dangerous and complex operations ever since. They were originally formed for Counter-Terrorism but as the unit evolved they adapted to more of a Special Operations role. The Army Ranger Wing is believed to have around 100-150 active personnel within their ranks. All highly trained and skilled in a variety of roles. Recently the Army Ranger Wing have deployed to Mali in response to an upsurge in violence in north-eastern Mali, led by militants affiliated with al-Qaeda. The Irish contingent are due to be primarily tasked with conducting long-range reconnaissance patrols (LRRP) and deployed as part of a German-led ISTAR Task Force, benefiting from the protections and medical support in place for the larger force. 14 ARW operators are reported to be involved per rotation.
