Indian Commandos
    #9335948 -

So in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Mubai, and seeing the commandos interviewed on TV, my curiousity got me to the Wikipedia article on the "Marine Commando Force" that were sent in to deal with it.

Quote:
The training is much tougher and they can operate in any environment – deep sea, on the ocean, in jungle, and even hostage rescue and urban combat.

The first two months is the weeding out phase. More than 60% are sent back. Those that go on are trained in every aspect of modern warfare and in every situation. This includes firing lying down, standing, running full-sprint, even backwards and looking into a mirror – with a reaction time of 0.27 seconds.

The real killer is the “death crawl” – an 800-metre struggle through thigh-high mud, loaded with 25 kg of gear and after a 2.5 km obstacle course that most soldiers would fail. After that, when the trainee is “half-dead” and clinging to his raw nerves, he has to undergo the final test – shooting a target 25 metres away, with his buddy standing next to it. If the exhausted hands tremble, his buddy is history.

This is where many give up. They just cannot take the shot. Around 10% eventually don the MARCO patch on their right sleeve. And live the life of a hero – in anonymity.

The MARCO is an expert in every kind of weapon, from Ninja-style darts, knives and crossbows to sniper rifles, handguns, and bare hands. To top it, he is both the paratrooper and a combat diver.

special forces are more myth than anything else

Special forces in the vietnam war who used chop m-60s are the epitome of badass though.

The United States invests the most money and has the best equipment and technology to date... so how could S.A.S. be superior?  Just good training?

I think it's just more visibility. When Delta or Seals hit something, it's never heard about. When SAS is there it gets much more visibility.

Do they have to look in the mirror while they point their gun in a different direction?  Or do they look into the mirror, spin, and shoot?

They look in a mirror with the gun pointed over their shoulder. It's like what exhibition shooters used to do.
