Evolution of the Special Forces since World War I

Though Great Britain was the pioneer of the modern time Special Forces initiating the process during the Boer War, it was Italy who brought up the real Special Forces during the World War I. They formed no less than 27 large sized assault units called “Arditi”. Basically they performed the tactical work of shock troops.

Another task was to breach the defense of the enemy so that our own forces could advance without many problems through the opening. They were not infant groups but were separate combat arm of the defense forces of the country.

United Kingdom however took the lead once again during the Second World War. In the year 1940 special troops of hunter class were formed following the words of Winston Churchill. A number of special units like the Long Range Desert Group, Special Air Service and such other units were formed equipped with special military gear.

One of the best components of the Special Forces that have been planned is people originating from hilly areas and plateaus. Their expertise on the jungle and capability in using the Special Forces gear ensure that you should consider them as indispensable part of Special Forces.

Formation in UK was followed by USA and Canada. Each of them formed a sabotage ski brigade to operate from Norway during their stay in Italy. In 1942 came the Rangers and 1943 the Alamo Scouts became the predecessor of the modern Special Forces that use most modern military equipment for carrying out their operations.
