This is an excerpt from the cnn story at http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/southeast/02/15/us.philippines/index.html I didn't realize our troops still deployed with the M-14. Perhaps its a typo?"About 25 U.S. troops in battle gear and armed with M-14 rifles were flown in MH-470 Chinook helicopters from Zamboanga, the headquarters of the Philippine southern military command, to Basilan on Friday. Their arrival will prepare the way for some 150 special forces soldiers who will land in Basilan over the next few days. Around 500 other U.S. troops will be stationed in Zamboanga and the more central city island of Cebu."
