Some pictures of Georgian "Omega" in 1995. Omega was part of a short lived task force created by Georgian ex-KGB Igor Giorgadze in 1992, which consisted of three detachments, Alpha, Delta and Omega, all part of State Security. Latter was distinguishable by it's gear, as it happened to be the first unit in Georgia to be trained and equipped by the West. It's possibly also the only unit that survived the literal purge of the task force by the gov.

Thanks for this photo, Skyline. Some brave men here, worn down a bit by age, but 50 years ago they executed a brilliant rescue operation in Hanoi's backyard . . . RESPECT.

Fire and Maneuver

Special Operations Capabilities Specialists conduct frontal assault training. The frontal assault training consists of buddy-rush drills that advance to squad-sized maneuver-and-fire drills, in which squad leaders coordinate the movement of their squad while supported by stationary, crew-served machine guns. Upon assignment to MARSOC, SOCS receive advanced technical and tactical training to be effective and proficient components in special operations. (photo by Sgt Jonathon Wiederhold)

Fascinating bunch the SAS, they could do about anything with nothing! What's interesting in this photo and I just noticed it now after its been posted on here for a while, note the trooper on the right side with two sidearms in leg holsters.....wonder what the story is on that one???
