 There are two types of regiments in GGK - Special Operations Forces
and Commando. The SOF roles are similar to Green Berets & SAS. While Commando's roles
are more similar to U.S. Army Rangers & British Royal Marine Commando. GGK mainly
operate on small groups (the smallest unit is about 5 men) to carry out LRRP / LRS,
sabotage and direct action missions on strategic targets. All three regiments have SAS
type specialty (air,sea and mobility). GGK also has a small anti-terrorist / hostage
rescue unit. This unit is always very busy. In September 1998, the unit was involved in
The 16th Commonwealth Games security measures. It does not officially exist.
In fact, so secret is the unit, that very few people even in the army know of its
existence. Even fewer know its name.
