The best JSOC unit ever was comprised of SEALs, British SAS, CIA SAS (Ground Unit), CSAR, SFOD-Delta, and Navy EOD.

It was a 12 man unit, and was tasked with an espionage mission in Russia back in the early 90's. That's about as much detail as I'll go into.

Mr. M

Not sure if this has been posted before, because this thread is 19 pages long and its early so I don't want to read all of it. But...

Navy SEALs go on missions that we don't hear about almost every day. They, and other elite special forces operate in secret and protect us even when we don't know it. Just because it wasn't public knowledge that SEALs were in Iraq doesn't mean they weren't there. I'm sure they were, we just don't know about it because we don't really need to.

there were probably tons of spec ops teams there we didnt know about thats y thier called specail operations
any how just wonderin is it true the navy seals weapon of choice is a 6 pound shotgun?

Im sure the SEALs use a shotgun for certain ops. I'm no expert on their weapon loads but I doubt they'd favor a shotgun over an automatic rifle such as an MP5 or CAR15 and the like.

They used the shotgun in Vietnam, if that helps

Mr. M

Tell us more! Or give us a website to find more from!

I wanna see how that 12 man mission turned out! Please im begging you tell the whole strory or give us a link!!! i would really love to see how it turned out!

i have skipped a few pages,so i don't know if the tactical edge the sas has in all points east of the present uk has been touched upon.in all of the books i have read(fiction,non fiction)the british have always had a(my man in "insert location")type thing going on.probably because the brits have occupied or set up forign ministeries in every large or small country east of england.these small pockets of the old boy network will always have the best real time on site intel anyone could want.this would make any op probably 70% easier.these people have the added advantage of being in the open and not having to hide.also there is the fact that this old boy network doesn't have their own agenda.they are above all loyal to queen and country not their former branch.the sas seems to be a force that does more real actual intel gathering themselves.

the sas in my opinion is the best because they can operate anywhere and seem to be a more self sufficient unit when unsupported.they can use more local assets wherever they are .

oh random fact about british spec forces !
60% of british spec forces are scottish

Look at what just happened in Mexico.
I would say that the Brits are getting to know every "nook and cranny" of the globe, just in case.
Too bad the locals found out

Mexico? What happened there?
Britian does have extensive old public school boy networks in most countries, if not nearly every..

i think he means our guys that where there on a tourist trip

Yeah I just read about that...
I dont think they are SAS.
They are too busy in Afghanistan/Iraq and at home...
Especially since they are running large Selection courses (they are creating a fifth squadron, I think it might be called R Squadron or L Squadron) so they have to recruit men for that
so I dont think they can spare the men for a bit of fun

a fifth squadron!
man !
next there gona have an sas special forces!
anyhow y the hell would they go 2 mexico theres nothing there but dirt and sand and some more dirt
