The Elite's



SEALs

SEALs, which stand for Sea, Air, Land, are the U.S. Navy's primary and most acclaimed special operations forces unit. Operating mainly in tight 16-man teams, SEALs train for missions in maritime environments, the desert, the jungle, in cold weather, and in urban surroundings.


Delta Force

While the military acknowledges the existence of special mission units, such as Delta Force, it does not specify what they are called or their locations, staffing or organizational structure. Unofficially, Delta Force is considered one of the U.S. military's elite special operations units, its members drawn from all branches. It is based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.


Army Rangers

The Rangers are kept at a high level of readiness and can deploy anywhere in the world at a moment's notice. Rangers are trained in rapid infantry assault and night fighting. They are the premiere airfield seizure and raid unit in the Army. The Rangers are trained to infiltrate and exit by air, land or sea and have the capability to conduct conventional or special light-infantry operations.


SAS

The Special Air Service regiment of the British Army was founded in 1941 and has the motto "Who Dares Wins." Conceived to fight in the North African desert behind the German lines, the regiment later developed anti-terrorism skills while hunting the Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland.


Commandos

Based at Holsworthy, Sydney, the 4th Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment (Commando) offers military commanders large-group strike, offensive and counterterrorism capabilities. Commandos are trained to operate ground and maritime environments. In the photo at left, 4th Battalion soldiers in East Timor conduct a patrol using night-vision goggles.
