Only the National Guard and i think the Military police had M16A1s during desert storm. But not frontline troops.-Oliveira 19:05, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

They could be DEA agents or their South American counterparts since this is still a DEA operation. The Army just provide air cover to the DEA teams.

-'''''Special Note (Update)''''': The aircraft pictured is not an AH-1F. It is an AH-1S (MOD) belonging to the 1-285 Attack Helicopter Battalion that was stationed at Silverbell AHP, Marana, AZ. You are correct that the dual minigun configuration for the M28 turret is unusual. Ordinarily the left hand gun would be a 40mm grenade launcher. However we went with the dual minigun because it looked "cool". In practice the left hand minigun was prone to jamming, additionally the 40mm was an excellent suppressive weapon and was actually more reliable in combat. By the way, that's me in the back seat ([[Special:Contributions/132.79.9.16|User:132.79.9.16]]).
