Recommended Posts

Our group was founded this year, but all its members are active collectors and reenactors for some time. We met in another group a couple of years ago which we left together in August this year to form the Cochise Raiders. Here are some pics from our reenactments. Lurp pics portray a patrol of 74th Infantry Detachment lurps of 173rd Airborne Brigade and grunt pics are from our 2/503/173 Airborne Junction City reenactment. Hope you enjoy them. More at our website www.cochiseraiders.prv.pl.

EDIT: All pictures are lost

Great to see some more Nam guys out and about !

Thanks for the link to your site.

Poland always seems to produce the top efforts in this area.

Thanks. We try to do this as accurate as we can. I even managed to get my hands on an Olympus-PEN EE2 camera, most of the pics are shot using it.

 

 

It's spelled bardzo dobrze, but yeah, you've got the pronunciation right ;)

Most of what I have seen of the Polish reenactors have been really good.

 

I am particularly pleased to see that these are not covered in peace signs, have 10 million things in their helmet band, and so on.

Ive got to say, for a first attempt it looks really really good!!! I dont see any glaring mistakes, everyone one looks the part, no buttpacks, lots of good equipment! A+

only thing I would change is flip your XM mask bag so the button side opens inward, much easier to get at when needed. The short brim SOG 1-0 hats looks really good too.

also keep in mind, if your gonna wear the WWII era leggings, make sure your doing a CCC impression, since those were the only teams to use em, but other than that AWSOME!!!!

I wish we had a Team in So Cal that looked that good!!!!

we only have a 3 member team, heres some pix from 5+ years ago,

 

thanks again looking forward to more pix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

WOW!! You guys look really awsome!! well done!! looks like something right out of Plaster/Greco/Hardys books; Range Day or fun at the range!!!

 

Where did you all get your black boonies from? and the peace sign is awsome too!!

all you need now is a giant WAR medalion!!

 

also Id run alittle of that black electrical tape around the spoon and pin and tape it to itself to make a little pull tab, I'll see if I have any photos along with the water pur tabs taped to the neck of your canteens!!

 

I started a New SOG reenacting thread, Id like to see you guys on there your awsome!! A++

173rd Airborne, circa 1970.
