The GSU RECCE Company for instance is armed with the best military equipment arguably in the Kenya military fraternity.
- Bullet Proof vests- this vest protect the wearer from bullet and explosive shells. The vest is worn in the torso and it has the capability to protect the soldier from small caliber guns as well as hand grenade shrapnel. They are well designed and have pockets that the soldiers can carry water and back up ammunition for their rifles.
- Knee and Elbow pads- they are protect the soldier from injury and at the same time provide comfort in extreme combat situations that may require a soldier to crawl or come in contact with harsh surface.
- Magazine Pouches- a magazine is the ammunition storage while the pouch is the pocket that carries it. They are attached to the vest and vary in sizes the smaller ones carry magazine for pistol while the larger one carry for the rifle
- M16 Rifle- a 5.56mm caliber ammunition rifle which is the most common modern warfare rifle seeing as it can either be automatic or semi-automatic. The semi-automatic can fire up to 60 rounds in a minute depending on the user.
- Thigh Pistol Holster- this is used to carry an additional pistol that is hoisted at the thigh. It is strategically placed at around the arm-length making it a very convenient weapon for retaliation. The thigh pistol is used as an alternative incase the soldier is in the middle of a cross fire and has little or no time to load his rifle.
- Sunglasses- not to be confused with normal sunglasses. They play as a camouflage to hide the exact direction the soldier is looking. They are an advantage as they throw off the public and what the soldier’s attention is, hence enhancing surveillance and having tactical advantage.
- Portable Police Radios- it is attached to the chests or shoulder and have an ear piece attached. They aid in communication as the soldier does not have to hold them in the hand that would otherwise be executing the plan and prevent casualties. It is also the link between the RECCE command and the field.
- Bayonet- it is a knife, spear or spike-shaped weapon that is attached to the muzzle of the riffle and is used to attack an enemy at close quarters. It transforms the gun into a very lethal sharp object that can stab an enemy at close-quarter combat.
