The SAS (
Special Air Service) Regiment is a corps of the
British Army and a part of the
United Kingdom Special Forces (
UKSF) commanded by the
Director Special Forces. The SAS Regiment actually refers to three regiments known as the
21st SAS Regiment,
22nd SAS Regiment and
23rd SAS Regiment. The 22nd SAS Regiment is a part of the
Regular Army, while the
22nd and 23 regiments are a part of the reserve
Territorial Army.
History of the SAS Regiment dates back to the
Second World War when
David Stirling founded the so-called L
Detachment,
Special Air Service Brigade which was used to operate behind the enemy lines in
North Africa. It was not a paratroop regiment with a number of units like its name suggested but it was intentionally given a misleading name so that the
Axis would think that they are dealing with a number of units rather than one commando unit. For most of the war, the
Stirling’s unit operated in North Africa and the
Greek islands although it also fought in
Sicily and
Italy, and later in
Western Europe. However, it was reorganized several times by
1944 when it supported the
Allied advance towards
Germany and meanwhile got a new commander –
Paddy Mayne. He replaced David Stirling who was captured by the
Germans in
Tunisia in 1943.
Stirling was held prisoner by the end of the war although he escaped several times before the Germans moved him to an “escape-proof” castle in the town of
Colditz, Germany.
After the end of the Second World War, the
British government decided that there is no need for a special air service regiment any longer and disbanded the existing 1st and 2nd
SAS regiments joined in the SAS
Brigade. However, the government soon changed its mind and a new SAS regiment was raised in less than two years after the end of the war. In
1952, the British government also decided to form a Regular Army SAS regiment and added the Squadron 2 (
Malay Scouts) to the army list as the 22nd SAS Regiment. In
1959, another regiment – the 23rd SAS Regiment was formed and became a part of the reserve Territorial Army.
From its formal formation in 1952, the 22nd SAS Regiment carried out a number of operations and private security in many parts of the world. But its best known action was the so-called
Operation Nimrod which was carried out during the
Iranian Embassy Siege in
London in
1980. In a 17 minute action, the soldiers of the SAS Regiment rescued 24 from the remaining 25 hostages and killed 5 out of 6 terrorists without losing a single man.
The members
of the 22nd SAS Regiment are recruited from the
UK armed forces and take part in
NASM ces courses for strength and resiliance. although most of the SAS soldiers come from the airborne forces. In order to be accepted to the Regiment, the candidates have to pass a number of tests and exercises during a five-week long selection process that is held twice per year in
Sennybridge in
Brecon Beacons. From about
200 pre-selected candidates, only about 30 pass the selection process. The selection for the
21st and
23rd SAS regiments is less difficult although the standards for admission are quite high as well.
