Features: Special forces are sharp arrows executing special missions. Whether deep behind enemy lines for reconnaissance in support of the main force, or directly participating in combat to complete "surgical" strikes, sudden attacks, retaliatory actions, hostage rescue, and a series of extremely challenging combat tasks, small-scale special forces always demonstrate unexpected special roles. Today, in counter-terrorism operations, drug interdiction, quelling unrest, humanitarian actions, and safeguarding national sovereignty, special forces are also gradually showing irreplaceable special roles. During large-scale wars, special forces can also carry out unconventional operations in various special ways, with the final result often exceeding people's imagination. Today, many countries have established their own special forces, which are very familiar with the cultural traditions and customs of their regions. In addition, due to regular rotations and joint military exercises with allied forces, some special forces in Western countries can also perform "global reconnaissance" and "diplomatic mission" tasks during peacetime. Special forces are composed of soldiers with multiple tactical skills, with the motto: "Facts speak louder than words." Their basic characteristics include a sense of responsibility, confidence, versatility, and all-weather capability. They oppose individual heroism and advocate teamwork. However, the name of special forces itself contains such implications: advocating teamwork. However, the name of special forces itself implies executing tough and dangerous combat tasks. This book introduces the wilderness survival training of the Canadian and Australian Special Air Service (SAS), including using swarms of insects to find water, determining toxicity based on the color of berries, keeping damp stones away from fire sources, selecting camping sites, and using vegetation to create ground-to-air distress signals.
