Nothing new about deception ops. The Russians are really good at it; “maskirovka” is almost a separate military discipline in Russia.

The pic is very reminiscent of the Maj. David Stirling WWII-era SAS in the North African desert. Whoever posed that pic may have been aware of that.

Ultimate Force was good for the few seasons.

Just did an image search for Beau Geste and up it popped.

Okay, thanks. I found the photo after I asked you.

At first, I thought the picture you posted was a photo of real-life legionaires. I was struck by how handsome they were — don’t worry, I’m a woman :) — but the second thought I had was that they looked so much alike, like brothers.

Then I read about the movie version of “Beau Geste”. I suppose, even then, someone could have manipulated the photo to make those actors look more alike.
