Australian SASR

Background
The Australian Special Air Service Regiment's three primary missions are low intensity warfare, special internal security and long-range strategic reconnaissance. Members of the regiment have a tremendous range of skills, including HALO, patrolling, raiding, SCUBA and small boat operations. In war or conflict they are involved in surveillance, secret strike missions and rescue operations. They have also been active in fighting terrorists.

In addition to special fighting skills, SASR members learn different languages and medical and electronic communication skills. They are able to accomplish battlefield insertions from submarines, fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The Australian SASR is based in Swanbourne.
