Re: RMP Close Protection Loadout
I worked in the same place as the RMP CP team for the British ambassador to Iraq. Around 2005.
I didn't really scrutinise their kit but I know for sure they used HK53. Not sure what else, Could have been Glock 17 but couldn't say for sure. I think they carried a Minimi in the back of the vehicles too.
Ain't no trouble in this world that can't be solved by the generous application of gin.

Re: RMP Close Protection Loadout
In the Army the only people who do it are the RMP's, but RM's and RAF Reg and Police get to do it as well if memory serves.

Re: RMP Close Protection Loadout
When i left there was talk of opening up the course to all arms personnel, as it still stands the only people who can do the CP course are male/ female RMP, RAF Police, RN Regulators, RM Police Troop and various foreign forces who pay extortionate amounts of money to attend the course.

Re: RMP Close Protection Loadout
I can confirm that it is RMP CP as the chap on the right is a very good friend whom i served with in Germany.

Re: RMP Close Protection Loadout
Gorilla is right, it is just the police element that do cp, not RAF regt (though they want to) and the course is open to make and females though it is very tough with a high level of fitness required.
However, for the RAFP, unless you get to TPW and are on the CP Trg flt, it isn't a full time job. You pass the course and effectively get put on the CP books. Then go off and do your day job. Then, when it is your turn for a det, and if there is a space, you get selected.

They have, but I don't think they've started the roll just yet, or have only very, very recently started. Snowdrop and Gorrilla are spot on. It's only the RMP that are eligible for the RMP CPU course. If my memory serves me, RAF and Navy (Including Marines) do a pre selection course which teaches the basics of CP before attending RMP CPU Longmoor for the full course.

Re: RMP Close Protection Loadout
The Sig was a UOR and the glock is replacing it, that said RMP CP had the Sig a long time before it came into general use. As with most other specialist units i think the Sig will be around for some time to come.

a very recent image for you
i know this photo is a PR snap but they could have done it properly the fact that the high ranking officer has no head or body armour protection isn't right. Also the fella on the right with his soloman 4D GTX didnt think they where a pair of boots that would have the rsm's stamp of approval on

Has it come to mind that the topic is called 'RMP Close Protection Loadout' for a reason - as they're close protection officers. I think the idea may be that they are protecting a general for example - so he's not going to have protection on to the same level, as he's being protected? More likely to be covert body armour underneath clothing?
