The top layer of the operator's torso consists of a tactical waistcoat with multiple pouches and pockets for additional storage. Underneath this is an Osprey Mk.4 bulletproof vest fitted with attachable external shoulder pads with soft inserts to protect additional body parts from shrapnel and potential injuries that may occur during the task. All this in the desert colour known as Coyote.
On both arms of the operator, in addition to the Anglian flag, is the so-called British Army Force Combat Badge. That is, a lion standing on a crown on the front of two swords, where the background colour is blood red.
Underneath the protective gear is a very popular shirt in the British Army most likely in Desert DPM with pullover sleeves. This is important in desert conditions due to the high temperature amplitude.
The hands are protected by the reliable Mechanix gloves which are colour-matched to the whole kit.
On the back is an enlarged backpack with an attached pocket, indicating the length of the Operator's mission.
Pants are standard contract lightweight “combat” type trousers in the Desert DPM camouflage variant with further pouches and pockets for the Operator's personal belongings. For additional protection, knee pads have been used, which, incidentally, make the Operator's job easier when shooting from a kneeling position.
The operator most likely belongs to the modern equivalent of the B.E.F (British Expeditionary Force). That is, Her Majesty's best soldiers were sent to various parts of the world with the aim of safeguarding the interests of the Crown.
Historically, B.E.F units were formed during the First World War and were sent to the Western Front to support the French during the war against Germany, with more such units being formed as the conflict escalated. The British Crown called on the countries over which it had control to send their troops. This action resulted in the formation of Indian, Canadian, New Zealand, Australian and even South African corps. After the conflict, the units were sent home and disbanded.
Before the Second World War, the British, preparing for the conflict, re-established the B.E.F in the early 1930s. During the battles of 1940 in France, they were the only fully mechanised army taking part in the battles. After withdrawal from France, units under this name were not re-established.
