"Mobile Reconnaissance Force (MRF)
synonyms: Military Reconnaissance Force (MRF); Military Reaction Force
(MRF) The Military Reconnaissance Force (MRF) was a special unit within
Military (Army) Intelligence based at Palace Barracks, Holywood, County
Down. The unit was probably set up during the summer of 1971. The unit
mainly conducted undercover (plain clothes) operations. It is believed that
soldiers from elite regiments, including the Special Air Service (SAS),
were members of the MRF. The unit was involved in a number of controversial
incidents where Catholic civilians were killed. During 1972 undercover
soldiers were operating in west Belfast using techniques that appeared to
have based on 'counter gangs' (Kitson, 1960). A former member of MRF
described the role of the unit as both 'defensive' and
'offensive' (Taylor, 2001; p129). The 'defensive' operations were
intended to try to prevent the IRA from carrying out attacks. The
'offensive' operations appeared to be wide ranging. For example, on 12
May 1972 an MRF unit approached a checkpoint being operated by the Catholic
Ex-Servicemen's Association (CESA) which was checking cars entering the
Andersonstown area. The MRF car stopped and then reversed a short distance.
One of the soldiers opened fire from the car with a Thompson sub-machine
gun [at the time this was a weapon usually associated with the IRA] and
killed Patrick McVeigh (44), a Catholic civilian, and wounded four other
Catholic men. None of the men who were shot were armed and none of the
soldiers were ever prosecuted. In another MRF operation on 22 June 1972 an
MRF unit opened fire with a Thompson sub-machine gun on a group of Catholic
men standing at a bus terminal in the Glen Road in Andersonstown, west
Belfast. Four Catholic civilians were injured. Some of the operations of
MRF were unusual. During the early 1970s the unit set up the Four Square
Laundry in Belfast which offered a cheap cleaning service but was intended
to collect information about Irish Republican Army (IRA) activities in west
Belfast. Clothes sent for cleaning were routinely checked for traces of
explosives or lead residues from bullets. The IRA subsequently found out
about the MRF operation and on 2 October 1972 attacked a laundry van being
used to collect and deliver clothes. An undercover British Army soldier was
shot dead in the attack."


You'll note the "One of the soldiers opened fire from the car with a
Thompson sub-machine gun [at the time this was a weapon usually associated
with the IRA]" & "In another MRF operation on 22 June 1972 an
MRF unit opened fire with a Thompson sub-machine gun on a group of Catholic
men standing at a bus terminal in the Glen Road in Andersonstown, west
Belfast."

"associated with the IRA" or taken from an IRA hide....you
decide....

It is possible that this was a result of the gov asking the mil to
"use the tactics which worked in Malaya". It's is possible that
upon exposure when the gov demanded an enquiry a certain mil individual was
initially charged with a murder & then released in some secrecy when he
decided to plead guilty to another 30 something murders......1 is a
crime...30+ is a policy.....
