Do we still have a nominated "Spearhead" regiment, on rotation from the UK's collective infantry units? If so, isnt it most likely that it was 40 Cdo's turn to provide the Spearhead "regiment" and therefore step up for this op?
Do the RAF Regt have a formed unit that provides the "Spearhead" regiment?
I would be surprised if 40 Cdo are not being augmented by specialists in airfield security.
