Military – Britain’s Special Air Service

The British Army has 3 Special Air Service regiments, the regular 22 SAS, and 2 reserves/territorial units, 21 and 23 SAS. This article focuses on 22 SAS.

Special Air Service Organization

The 22nd Special Air Service regiment is one of the world’s most renowned and respected special forces units. It comprises of 4 ‘Sabre’ squadrons (A,B,D and G) which themselves are made up of 4 Troops (Air, Mobility, Mountain and Boat) of 16 men. Each Troop specializes in a different method of insertion and infiltration as indicated by their name. Each squadron also has a headquarters element.

The Air Force’s official mission is “to fly, fight, and win… in air, space and cyberspace.” In order to keep achieving this goal, they must keep up with the development of Airmen, technological warfare and integrating operations. This helps the Air Force maintain air and space superiority, which ensures the enemy, cannot make a sneak attack on land, sea, air or space. The advanced technological warfare allows the quick, precise attack if it should ever become necessary, with time not adding to the list of enemies. The ability to react and respond quickly in any given situation maintains rapid global mobility.

The Air Force is also superior in obtaining information that is necessary to create plans based on a given situation with, as previous mentioned, absolute precision in all of their activities.

The leaders of the Force generally enforce and maintain three core values meant to inspire Airmen to do only their best and to improve upon their best. The Airmen are to learn these values, which tie them to history’s greatest warriors and public servants, to live by these standards and to cherish them.

First and foremost, Airmen are taught “Integrity First.” This means doing what is right when nobody is around to see it, maintaining the ability to compose oneself and acting on conviction. It means practicing honesty, responsibility, accountability, justice, openness, self-respect and humility. To summarize, an Airmen with integrity can grasp the concept of defending the Constitution and is sobered by the act.

Afghanistan

22 SAS was deployed to Afghanistan in the early stages of the war. The Regiment carried out a number of initial reconnaissance operations which included carrying out battle damage assessments following US air strikes. In November 2001, 2 SAS Squadrons attacked and neutralized a Taliban / Al Qaeda opium factory in Southern Afghanistan.

Lastly, “Excellence in All We Do.” The United States Air Force expects only excellence from their Airmen. This extends to personal excellence by maintaining physical and mental health as well as completing military education. Community excellence is highly desired as well, which extends to giving people the benefit of the doubt and offering genuine respect for the people of the nation.

Under no circumstances should any of these values not be followed. Those who cannot follow the minimum standards for the United States Air Force and allow personal desires to get in the way of professionalism are, as stated on the Air Force’s home page, unfit for military service
