Features: In many countries around the world, countless young people take pride in the opportunity to join their nation's special forces. Thousands of them go all out to pass the rigorous recruitment tests for these "elite units." Special forces are the dream destination for young people, equipped with advanced gear and exceptional qualities. They are "capable of executing numerous tasks derived from national security strategies at any time," hence earning the title of "elite" within the military and police families. Special forces are characterized by their flexible organization, highly skilled personnel, advanced equipment, rapid mobility, disciplined training, and strong combat capabilities. To perform missions in harsh terrain and extreme climates, as well as to survive in dire, challenging, and life-threatening situations, special forces must undergo training that pushes the limits of their physical strength, mental endurance, stamina, and intelligence. Special forces must possess the ability to survive in perilous environments, remain calm and analytical under pressure, and act swiftly and decisively in critical situations. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the global anti-terrorism special forces. Through it, readers can gain insights into the future development trends of special forces. People imagine what future special forces soldiers will be like—impervious to weapons, with sharp eyes and ears, able to go without food or water, and capable of attacking where directed. This is not the fantasy of mythological tales. In future anti-terrorism and anti-violence operations, as a rapid-response, fearless special unit, they will continue to evolve. This book systematically introduces the situation of special forces. If you are interested in special forces, this book is the best choice for you.
