SBS and SAS work together now in "UKSF" anyway. Though I bet they still argue when not on ops.

Oh and just to put people in the picture the Guards formed alot of the British Regiments. Some of the first Marines were in fact from the 3rd Battalion the Grenadier Guards (My old lot) some of the first recruits when the Paras were formed were l think Welsh guards. ( I'm not overly sure of that one, l read it some where many moons ago ) and the SAS was founded by Sir David Stirling who was a Scots guard and one of the squadrons is called G or Guards Squadron. So thank christ for the Guards!! Oh and the Guards have been in every major conflict going! The Paras have'nt!
haha but every conflict the paras have seen they finshed completed their objectives. how many can say that

However whilst the Paras haven't been on every conflict, they're still considered an elite infantry unit by many.
So are the SAS.
So the 2 newer regiments are elite infantry.
Coincidence? I think not...
They've only been around 60 years though and heres one for you. Before the Falklands war the Paras were on spear head and training constantly, so were fighting fit before deployment. The Scots Guards were ceremonial troops before being deployed. So they were not at the peak of fighting form. They had the 3 weeks going down to sort themselfs out and they still managed to take the mountain!137twozerosniper wrote:

i love the SAS
there was a good TV show which starred Ross Kemp called "Ultimate Force"
full of action, swearing and drinking
his name was Sgt Henry "Henno" Garvey
but still
they surpass Delta Force and the SEALS by miles in tactics and skill
i love their uniforms
i hear their selection process is tough as nails

FatherTed, Im gonna get on CoD4 to pass you up right now.
If you want to read about a proper, proper SAS guy, you should SERIOUSLY read "The Shooting Gallery" by Gaz Hunter. One of my favourite books of all time.
He went
Green Jackets
SAS
Mecenary in Afghanistan
Back in SAS (At the same rank as he went in ONLY PERSON EVER to do this)
It's seriously that good:

i havent read the book but i have read the Chris Ryan one:

That's why they are called the Green Jackets.
They were the first unit in the British army to adopt a different camouflage uniform.

Chris Ryan comes from near where I live .
I've got a book about different Special Forces groups around the world, SAS, Delta, SEAL's, GSG-9, GIGN etc. But it also lists the Royal Marines, which I can see as they are classed as commandos. But also the USMC is classed as a special forces group in this book, I didn't know it was.
Its a good book though, gives general background information on the unit, then shows some examples of their operations. Green Berets at Nam Dong under Roger Donlon and everything.
I believe your book is mistaken. While there are some units in the USMC considered "special ops capable" (SOC), there are no designated USMC SOF ...yet. Force Recon is the closest they have to SOF, but they are still considered SOC USMC units, not dedicated SOF.M.O.A.B wrote:
