Faced with a recruitment crisis, the United Kingdom Special Forces (UKSF) have been forced to put up advertisements to attract fresh blood into their elite ranks. Posted in the British Army magazine Soldier, the advertisement is specifically geared toward the Special Forces Communicator (SFC) career field. The advertisement states that “The Special Forces Communicator is […]
This is a series. Read part one and two here. Camp Two was a different pudding. Not to say that the physical or mental pressure eased. But now it was selection by training as opposed to Camp One’s selection by torture. Nestled in rural Wales, Camp Two resembled an operational Detachment base. There was a bar, […]
We frequently get a lot of questions about the Selection part of the training pipeline, what the candidates for the various Special Operations units in the SOF umbrella must pass. Selection, as we say is just the first step, but it is a continuous process and never really ends. Candidates during Selection will be assessed […]
You can read part one here. “From time to time, there is a requirement for men and women to volunteer to undertake special duties of a hazardous nature in Northern Ireland. Selection and training for the special duties is both rigorous and arduous. For further details, see defense council instructions…” Divine words for anyone stranded […]

The Royal Marines Commandos might soon be joining the ranks of the United Kingdom’s Special Forces (UKSF). Although an elite unit as it is, the Commandos are currently considered a step down from Britain’s SOF. They are the country’s premier light infantry amphibious unit. In recent years, they were deployed in both Iraq and Afghanistan, […]
“Action stations! Action stations! This is not a drill!” was the only alert the duty officer of HMS Sheffield managed to give before the impact. The warning came too late. Seconds later, an Exocet missile, fired by a sea-skimming Argentinian aircraft, rammed the ship’s starboard side, hitting it between the galley and the forward engine room. An […]
Meanwhile, the second patrol was enduring its own adventure. Like Hamilton’s patrol they had been observing their Argentinian target for seven days and radioing their intelligence back to the Task Force.
The untimely approach of dawn prompted Major Delves to signal the attack. At 07:00, the destroyer HMS Glamorgan, guided by a Royal Marines artillery observer, began raining 4.5-inch shells to the Argentinian barracks.
