It wasn't that the SASR were better than them, it was they could move through the jungle without making noise and made their comrades disappear without a trace. The Vietnamese were incredibly seasoned fighters who were only concerned about one group of westerners, the SASR. They weren't concerned about US troops or our regular Army troops or indeed anyone else and that's again coming from the Vietnamese. Hell our regulars, who are better than their US counterparts, were nothing more than an inconvenience for them..

    Its f*&king savage
    About the quitting thing, he said the instructors where devious about it. They never said a single word of encouragement for the entire selection they just reminded you over and over that you can leave, that its not quitting, that you have succeeded just for getting this far, and that its ok to leave now, look how many people have left already, youll feel better if you leave. I cant give you any water, but you can get some back at camp just sign the form. etc etc

      I know in British SAS jungle phase selection you need to write perfectly presented (including no water damage!) daily reports on your movements in addition to writing up ambush plans etc. I assume in the Australian selection they want to identify poor communicators while also learning how people are seeking to present themselves more generally. I imagine the latter is to make the interrogation phase following escape and evasion more personally brutal.

    They could have 150 go though this course and if they didn't like what they saw , none would become SAS troopers. It's not about percentages with these guys. Many get recommended for Comandos , even more fail outright. They aren't just looking for strong and tough , they are looking for smart and resourceful people who can work as a team and just refuse to quit.
    Australia just doesn't have the equipment or numbers the US has so we have to make up the difference with extremely well trained personnel.

  • @indeed8211
    @indeed8211 Před 30 minutami

    Hey man, you asked me to talk about my experience with the selection course. You never told me your questions, so I'll just say everything I feel you might want to know.
    I did the selection course in 2015 and passed, but I pulled out when they said it was highly unlikely we'd see our families for the next 24 months. I had no family at the time, only two grandparents who were starting to reach the end of their lives, and I realised I'd always regret doing it if my grandparents died. I also wasn't feeling the military so much anymore and was questioning my own reasons for actually wanting to join.
    My grandfather died 6 months later, so I feel I made the right choice.
    Everyone who is in the in the infantry does the SF selection course, be it commandos or SASR. At some point, it's just something you expect to do eventually; it's seen as a progression of your career. It takes several years of training to attempt. I started physical training 3 years prior.
    This is also why you get a lot of people who get there and might be doing well or even pass but then go, "Why am I actually here?"
    They are looking for experienced veterans who have several years of deployments under their belt; they don't want kids off the street, and the SASR doesn't actually have a direct entry scheme; however, commandos do, but very few have ever passed.
    They are also looking for people born for the role; no amount of training will get you into their good graces. They are looking for a specific type of person, mostly the kind of person who just does the task they are given without staring at the ground, moaning, or whining. They are looking for people focused on their task, not talking about home, or clearly wanting to just do the course and go home and play video games until they start rotation.
    The course I experienced was much harder than this one, and we actually cannot fully detail what the course entails so as to not give anyone an advantage.
    The essay is not a mind fuck or a trick. We don't play games in the AUS military; it's just to see if you waffle on and on or if you are direct and just straight to the point and give the information requested in an efficient, satisfactory manner.
    Likewise, things like weapons parts missing are not a game; these people genuinely just lost the parts.
    I hope that answers your questions.
    And remember something about SAS and SASR: genuine troopers won't tell people they are/were in the SAS, so if anyone does, they are stolen valour cases. Im talking about this precisely because I didn't make it.

    remember at the end they had to finish a run in full gear to pass, one of the guys crossed the line outside the time limit
    but they passed him anyway because he finished the run after he broke his leg about halfway into it. They said that's the kind of guy we need.

      question - Belgian SAS - where do they fit in with this picture? Also why was there no such thing as Canadian SAS? I know they were put together during the war by the same bloke who was chosen to resurrect the British SAS in the 50's a real psychotic hard man by the name of Mad Mike Calvert. He was an ex Chindit column commander and knew everyting there was to know about jungle warfare.
      My uncle Ray was ex Gloucesters and went into the SAS in the '50's just after Calvert re-organized them and reformed the regiment. He went back and finished his time in the Gloucesters as a recruiter. Bloody fearsome specimen who maintained his brother who was a scientist in the REME was a lot tougher, fitter and capable as a soldier than he himself could ever be. Ray said he was the only man he ever met who he was truly scared of and he stayed in the REME 22 years before ending up as a government scientist on radar/early warning systems.

    we view yelling as unprofessional i once yelled at a subordinate because i lost my cool and got chewed out for it and charged you only yell if some ones really fucked up

    New Zealand SAS is pretty handy themselves, I know cos my dad was in the First Ranger Squadron the very first SAS unit of New Zealand. He worked all over the middle east and Malaya Vietnam, Borneo etc. He reckons the BEST he ever met are the Gurkhas from Nepal, playful little buggers they loved to play tricks. One of their faves was to tie together the boot laces of a soldier who was On Watch, the soldier steps, trips over to the cacophony of an entire Gurkha Unit laughing their asses off.

    Due to the legal issues around SAS operators being identified, it is unlikely anyone who passed the course was id'd on the programme.

Very proud of ALL of the soldiers that have served their country. Have operated with American forces, and found them a great bunch of guys. Their general training, weapon handling, tactics and bush craft were of course somewhat different to ours, but the end result was the same. Combat readiness, and the expertise and determination to complete the mission. This forms the brotherhood that you are a part of for the rest of your life. Stay loose brother, greetings from Oz.

      @parawill7074 Před 26 dny +2

      I'll share with you a couple of things. Train up to the best of your ability and be in prime physical condition. OSUT (I'm assuming you are going in as infantry) should be a breeze for you physically, but push hard to maintain your level of fitness once you head off to jump school before heading off to RASP. It is critically important that you maintain your level of fitness and your "no quit" mindset throughout the whole process because you will find time to slip a bit (like at jump school) before getting to Ranger Regiment, so be mindful of that as you go through training.
      You get all of the advice you need on how to get ready and what workouts to do, but it is all about maintaining that edge getting through less difficult training heading into the most difficult course, which would be RASP. Good luck, bro.

  • @Dr.Ian-Plect
    @Dr.Ian-Plect Před 25 dny

    Here's a breakdown of UKSF (United Kingdom Special Forces; 22 SAS and SBS selection)...
    PHASE ONE
    1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of *DAILY* mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an *unspecified* time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)...
    Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
    Week 2 18-24 km 45lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
    Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
    Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days
    march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
    march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
    THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; *65* km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent).
    ---------------
    PHASE TWO
    2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks.
    Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base.
    ----------------
    PHASE THREE
    Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc.
    Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation
    The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation.
    For the escape and evasion (E&E) portion of the course, the candidates are given brief instructions on appropriate techniques. This may include talks from former POWs or special forces soldiers who have been in E&E situations in the real world.
    Next, the candidates are let loose in the countryside, wearing World War 2 vintage coats with instructions to make their way to a series of waypoints without being captured by the hunter force of other soldiers. This portion lasts for 3-5 days after which, captured or not, all candidates report for TQ.
    Tactical Questioning (TQ) tests the prospective UKSF men's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ.
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    This is 6 months in, successful candidates for the SAS are now badged and report to Hereford, the home of 22 SAS.
    The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS.
    Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.

    Actually, it was Russia and Germany who created the first special forces units. The Russian counter sniper teams were greatly feared by the Germans, and the Germans also had one of the best special forces early on, but they all probably started around the same time as the need arose. Then again, arguably, special people required to do extraordinary things, named or unnamed units or individuals is not a new concept to history. The Germanic Ghost Warriors are a prime example.
