Special Forces

[Lord Sander]

Netherlands has the Korps Commando Troepen.

That's all I know

[weemadando]

Oh, I also forgot about:

Navy Clearance Divers - effectively Aus Navies SBS equivalent.

And

Airforce Airbase Security - they aren't special forces, but there was once group of them that stole an entire SAS camp while on excercise. The SAS then retaliated.

[Exonerate]

Finnish Army:
Laskuvarjojääkärit - Airborne Rangers, long range reconnaissance
Erikoisjääkärit - Specialjaegers, trained and equpped to encounter enemy special forces

Finnish Navy:
Taistelusukeltajat - Combat divers
Raivaajasukeltajat - EOD divers

Finnish Border Guard has its own special units as well

Helsinki Police Department:
Erikoisyksikkö Karhu - Special Unit Karhu (Bear), SWAT and counter-terrorism duties, a nationwide unit

Various police departments around the country:
VATI units - Abbreviation means "(Team) of Demanding Situations", the Finnish equivalent for SWAT
Taktinen ensihoitoryhmä - Tactical Operations Medical Support Team

*Tries to pronounce all that, but fails miserably*

More info please?

[Sea Skimmer]

To claim that any arbitrary special forces group is "best" is really not very accurate. All have their specialties. I wouldn't want to go up against the SEALs or SBS in an underwater demolition role, but I imagine any number of counter-terrorist teams are superior in that field.

*Tries to pronounce all that, but fails miserably*

Copy & paste them here if you want to get at least some sort of idea how they are pronounced.

Another British special/semi-special force is the Royal Marines' Commachio Group, originally formed to protect North Sea oil rigs from Spetznaz raiding in the event of a war in Europe. In recent years Commachio has been publicly connected to the nuclear security role - guarding the SSBN facility HMS Neptune at Faslane, and other facilities.

i don't know of this should be in the politics section but i am trying to compose a list of US Russia GB Germany France and any other NATO allies Special Forces please help

Norway:

Forsvarets Spesialkommando (Special Commando of the Defense)
Counterterrorist unit that trains for actions mainly against oil rigs, but are not limited to this activity. They also train for operations on airplanes, trains, and buildings. Other missions include protection of the royal family, the government and the national assembly.

“Stay Behind”
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a special force unit. It's a secret network intended to create a resistance movement in any Norwegian territory conquered by an enemy force. Nobody 'joins' the unit - it’s entirely by recruitment. Also, it doesn’t officially exist.

Marine Jegerne (Royal Marine commandos)
(not sure of the translation) Their primary missions are deep penetration reconnaissance and sabotage on enemy naval installations, and can be compared to the US Navy SEALs.

7th Jeger Company
This is a special guerrilla force whose mission is to stay behind enemy lines and disrupt their forces and operations.

Fallskjermjegerkommandoen (Airborne Rangers)
(again, not sure of the translation)


That's all I can remember right now...

If you think that is difficult, you just wait until I get you a real sample of difficult Finnish words, and Finnish grammar to boot. Those are the stuff that will permanently damage your mental health and stability and give you nightmares for the rest of your life...

More info please? :)

Friend of a friend is an RAAF Airbase Security Officer. During one excercise the SAS were tasked with "disabling" the airbase. So the RAAFies knew the SAS camp would be in the area. They stumbled across it and cleaned the place out, right down to the tentpegs. Nothing left at all apparently. The SAS, came back and upon finding an empty space where their camp was, decided to liberate the RAAF base of its high quality food, drink and other stuff.
