dDon't mess with these guys!
 
4 months for the Basic SSG qualification course for all ranks who get through the selection process and then another 4 months for advanced course. Trainees need to be fully para qualified with 6 jumps before you can complete the basic course. There is additional training for those opting for SOTF (Air Assault), Anti Terrorism, Combat Diver etc. types of roles.

Weapon selection is simply based on who is going on the operation and what weapon they are qualified/trained on and get issued. All of these decisions about weapons, ordnance etc. are made by the mission planners themselves based on the type of mission assigned to them.
whats the typical drop out rate, and on a side note, the SSG seems to be very well equipped with a modern array of weaponry, our guys have first hand experience dealing with terrorism etc, and we train alongside the top spec ops around the world but why are they so many casualties in operations when it comes to our SSG? other spec ops are able to minimise the casualty rates.

Blain am I correct in stating that SOTF operates out of Tarbela?

I was led to believe that the SOTF is actually the helos and aircrew dedicated to air assault missions. Is this incorrect? If the SOTF are the actual operators trained in air assault then is there a dedicated helo plus air crew component or does the PA rotate men and machines from other squadrons?

Finally is the intention to eventually convert the SOTF into an airborne assault brigade like the British Paras etc or will it continue to remain the preserve of the SSG?
 
Assalam u Aliakum!
Can a gdmo(general duty medical offocer) be inducted in SSG course?

SSG has multiple specialties, but it would be a waste to use them as specialized infantry - the newly raised multiple LCB's will be doing the "US Ranger" type missions - leaving the SSG as a true covert specialized force.

Yes but what exactly is the SOTF then? Is it the aviation element or the operator element or both?

Each Corps has raised a battalion of LCB....
 
Yaar i really want to dress-up like a SSG Commando :D with all their Gears , and take .. that would be cool :)
 
Over a period of few months, i have put together a detailed report on Pakistan's premier Special Ops unit known as the Special Services Group (SSG) which is also known as the 'Black Storks'. It took me a long time to find and detail data for this study. I hope you guys will enjoy it. Best Regards - Horus.
