Your last comment was so far off the mark, it's outta the solar system!
It is the NZSAS that have Tier 1 recognition with the yanks, not your Oz lot which are Tier 2!!
The "acquiring" of required kit is usually left to the standard forces. (And unfortunately if you mention the first Afg. deployment was a bit embarrasing for the RNZAF)
It would however be nice if the Govt. would recognise that effort and inform the public of what an outstanding job they are doing fighting terrorism, than what the Lab. Govt would rather do and close the whole shop down.
