 There
are two types of regiments in GGK - Special
Operations Forces and Commando. The SOF
roles are similar to Green Berets &
SAS. While Commando's roles are more similar
to U.S. Army Rangers & British Royal
Marine Commando. GGK mainly operate on small
groups (the smallest unit is about 5 men)
to carry out LRRP / LRS, sabotage and direct
action missions on strategic targets. All
three regiments have SAS type specialty
(air,sea and mobility). GGK also has a small
anti-terrorist / hostage rescue unit. This
unit is always very busy. In September 1998,
the unit was involved in The 16th Commonwealth
Games security measures. It does
not officially exist. In fact,
so secret is the unit, that very few people
even in the army know of its existence.
Even fewer know its name.
