The Bounty of Trainiing with Bonhomme Richard: 11th Marine Expertionary Unit. Want more guns.

USS Bonhonne Richard 11th MEU October 2009 Dili.

In yesterday newspapers there were reports from F-FDTL defence force that they intend to purchase weapons in order to upgrade so they can train more with the USA and others.  In 2009 the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit was in Timor trainning with the Timorese defence force.  

What were they training with?  

This give some ideas as to what F-FDTL may be wanting to buy. A F-FDTL realmente precisa de mais armas? Parece que poderia ser um problema,  mas eles podem obter algumas armas depois de os barcos.
