The British S.A.S, the Russian Spetsnaz and the U.S Navy Seals and Delta Force are often considered the best, but there isn't an answer everyone agrees on.
There is no official answer, yet it would likely be the British 22nd Special Air Service, Russian Spetsnaz or US Navy SEALs.
No. Not even close. The toughest and best Special Forces are British SAS, American Delta Force,Green Beret and Marines' Force Recon
They are the only official US Army Special Forces unit; they are called SF men for short. Any other such men or units are also categorized as "special operations units" but that is simply a catch all phrase to avoid using a lot of confusing terms. "Special forces" is used generically in other countries, but in the US, it specifically means only the Green Berets.Now, the best Green Berets are asked to try out for Delta Force, with only the top 0.1% making it in. Delta is a "special operations" unit, not "Special Forces," but they are more elite.
The Special Forces
There isn't a single answer, offically they are Great Britain with the S.A.S and Parachute Regiment, The United States of America with their Navy S.E.A.L.S, 101st Airborne Division, Green Berets and Delta Force and Russia's Spetsnaz.
The United States special forces trained along side with the SAS in it's early years. Remember that this country is much younger than England these forces had more centuries of training but I never go along with reaching a side in what force is superiour. The best trained forces have it's up and downs no matter what country it's from.
The Gurkha Rifles are not Special Forces. They are an elite infantry unit and are certainly among the best soldiers in the world, but were never classed a Special Forces
the Irish special forces are not the best in the world but usually come 3rd or 4th
There are three SAS forces on the planet (Note SAS is different from Special Forces). The British, Australian and New Zealand SAS's. The British SAS is thought to be widely the best special forces in the world, although the Australian SAS has beaten the British on numerous training exercises. And the NZ's is not that incredible, just a small country's ordinary special forces unit.
No. Not even close. The toughest and best Special Forces are British SAS, American Delta Force,Green Beret and Marines' Force Recon
In hte 1970's up until the early 1990's the South African Special Forces (RECCE's) were rated as one of the best in the world. These days they aren't as good as back then.
While elite units were in existence during the Second World War, the US Army Special Forces was not.
Although Germany has great forces but if u talk about worlds best then it is British SPECIAL AIR SERVICE (SAS)
It is the best after the british sas. Although this has never been proven.
They work both in groups and solo operations. They could be the best special forces organization in the world as they are selected from the best of the best special forces from Army Rangers, Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps Force Recon, Air Force Pararescue, etc. etc. Ontop of being the best special operators, having the most experience, and most highly trained, they still undergo even futher advanced training in special weapons and tactics, much of which are top secret.
The USA has definitely got the best naval forces in the world.
American Special forces were named the OSS at that time and were used extensively in Europe
the special forces version!
