The Pasdaran are noted for there fervour not there discipline or there compitance.ViolentPanda said:You're a part-time squaddie, so you tell me; would soldiers from one of their nation's most disciplined regiments leave their posts against orders so that they could "get some"?
People seem to confuse them with the Iraqi republican guard. They have different roles. The Iraqi Republican Guard were selected like all guards regiments from the most loyal areas and given the best equipment training and so forth to form a small loyal elite to protect against the Iraqi army turning on the Ba'athists.
The Pasdaran evolved from a voulenteer militia and are charged with guarding the revolution. They are almost as numerous as the regular army and selected for there comitment to revoulutionary ideals. They act as a police/ security force internaly. I am not aware of them being given special treatment over the regular army and have had there airforce taken away.
The chances of one or two going awol to fight seem very remote to me, but it is plausable. I have to rely on reports that all have political biases in trying to an idea about the Pasdaran so if anyone knows better Im listening.
Also I think they are orginised as batallions (I just read that) not regiments.
