I just talked to a guy in my unit that was with the Tenth Mountain in Somalia, he said yes they did have Deuces there. They did also use 5 tons, so both are correct.

"Google Blackhawk Down After Action Report" and see if you can find official transcripts of the incident. That would have all the US units involved listed in it.

The paint could have been either tan or cammo since a lot of units at that time had been deployed to Desert Storm and had mixed colored equipment.

The worthless UN forces also had vehicles there. Their flag was unmistakable. It was a yellow limp dik on a blue background.
