"The term 'JACKAL' has been historically used to refer to a small to medium sized species of wolf¦.They are opportunistic predators. They usually run in small packs but also hunt alone or in pairs."
The TEAM JACKAL is made for modern warfare, which has become dependent on a new type of quick fix, conflict resolution (get in and get the job done). Replacing large units, the emphasis is now on the small unit specialist, rapidly deployable on a mission, hard hitting...and getting out! The Team Jackal 5 is designed with these teams in mind.
