Pakistan's Special Operations Forces: SSG | SSGN | SSW | SOW | SOG

There needs to be an Inter Services SOF outfit.

Wouldn't that be redundant??

I think he is alluding to a Joint Special Operations Command type of a structure. Jury is still out on whether that would help Pakistan or is it more suited for nations with expeditionary, global operational requirements. Within Pakistan, our three Special Forces have unique tasks that don't necessarily overlap. AFAIK, quite a bit of the basic and some of the advanced Commando training for the PA/PN/PAF is jointly done including Para School. Whereas, special to service training is conducted by the SF training cadres at SOS Tarbela, PNS Iqbal and Kallar Kahar respectively.

A joint special forces command is the need of the hour. It brings together the many skills of different units into one making a lethal force for any task with ease of command. The greater the synergy the better the outcome.

I thought with the countless experience gained in WOT we would have established a similar command by now.

Also, @PanzerKiel I heard of "Special Operations Teams" being set up on (you know what) but my question is are they a different force from the commando platoons or......

So, something I have been questioning as of late has been the organization and general layout of the Special Services Wing (SSW).

I looked around for it and I kept being linked back to the Wikipedia article, which is a bit terrible due to using only one source, and I came across this:

This entire table is unsourced and I have no way of confirming if any of the information is correct or even real. If anyone could provide insight into this, preferably with sources of some sort, that would be very appreciated as I am trying to better understand the SSW from their gear to their organization.

Do we get our NOC operatives exclusively from the special forces or are there more requirements for that??

These soldiers are our pride and we owe them every thing.
The warriors of the land.
The only difference they are sacrificing lives and our leaders are facilitators for their killers.

I don't think that fighter pilots who have graduated from CCS ( USAF FWS equivalent? ) would be in any way physically prepared to undergo special forces training.

This is a heap of garbage. Please don't post this nonsense, it is outright embarrassing.

I have personally hijacked enemy fighters from their bases, after insertion with the aid of special forces, and then escorted their chopper back safely, so yes this is possible, in gameplay.

I have heard that General Mitha, the starter of SSG in Pakistan fought under British General Wingate in Burma against the Japanese.

General Wingate during 1936-39 went to Palestine to train the Jews whose transports to farms were facing attacks from the Arabs from surrounding villages. He advised the Jews to do aggressive defense and attack the Arabs.

So Gen Mitha must have adapted his Chindits Burma experiences into the SSG training.

Orde Wingate - Wikipedia

In my opinion Israel has evolved those concepts of Wingate and also added Intelligence and now technology to it. Previously, they had only banking and inhumanity.
