One thing always confuses me if the failure rate in SSG is so high that almost 90 percent applicants are weeded out then how do we have almost almost a division sized force? do correct me if i am wrong.
We have a big pool of men, total Pak Armed Forces are almost 1 million under arms. US Armed Forces similar in zise but US SOCOM is around 70,000 men. SSG is around 8 Battalions and 5 specialised companies so around about 6,000 - 7,000 men. That is a very small amount.
UK Armed Forces is approx 130,000 with UK Special Forces being 2,000 strong.
Ratio wise SSG is very small
