in any military or close support service [such as, dare I say, Met.]
er...............no.

Noting BGB is aged 11, I can forgive his/her ignorance on the subject of close Met. support.

Amongst others, either by uniformed Mobile Met Unit or CC commissioned staff : EVERY Harrier deployed exercise in and from BFG.
EVERY 1BR Corps deployment in BFG
EVERY Purple exercise.
CORPORATE
Both Gulf Wars
The Balkans
and SF that I cannot list and many others.



The fact is that our NATO allies in the main offer only a 2nd class Met. service and wise senior planners take their own specialists with them.
Close support, yes.
