British SAS

Delta Force
The US Army’s Delta Force is the best of the best. It is established in the 1970s, and recruitment for the prestigious Delta Force has always been secretive.

Special Boat Service

Sayeret Matkal
Israel’s own elite force, the Sayeret Matkal, is one of the world’s best. Its primary objective is intelligence extraction. The Sayeret Matkal often blend in with their targets deep within the enemy lines. Hardcore training will greet new recruit to test if they have what it takes to be part of this deadly strike force. Only the recruits with the strongest physical and mental ability get in.
National Gendarmerie Intervention Group
France’s National Gendarmerie Intervention Group or Groupe d’intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale (GIGN) is among the world’s deadliest elite forces.

Navy SEALs

Alpha Group
Russia’s own elite force Alpha Group, also known as Spetsgruppa “A”, is among the deadliest in the world. It is a counter-terrorism group, which respond primarily to any violent acts in buildings and public transportation. The Alpha Group was created by the KGB in 1974.
Naval Special Warfare Force

Black Storks
This elite Special Services Group in Pakistan, known locally as the Black Storks, is included in the world’s best task force. They have a unique headgear, which earned their name. Training is not for everyone, as it would be deadly. It includes a grueling 36-mile march for 12 hours, and recruits are in their complete gear.
Philippine Army’s Scout Ranger
