  1. The Army has: 26,000 The Air force has: 10,000 The Navy has: 6,000 The Marines have no dedicated special forces units, although marine expiditonary units have conducted special operation tasks. There are a total of: 1,418,514 soldiers...that means a little under 3% of the military is special forces. To answer you second question, the ones who don't make it are simply sent back to their original unit.
  2. The strength of the army is easily crushed. Let's conquer, shall we? Otherwise our soldiers keep open friendly fire on another even after attending intensive training programme. All units, RED ALERT 2. YURI is coming. lol...
  3. Lou is Mostly right. That is he was right up until August 2006, when the United States Marine Corps' Force Reconn became a part of the Special Operations Command. The Army is the Largest Armed Force and thus have the largest special force, due in part to the Army Rangers and Green Berets and Delta teams............. However, out in front are the NAVY SEALS. A Marine Force RECONN Unit is a combination of SEAL/Ranger/Marine all rolled up into one. Interesting
  4. 100 men, we'll test today but only 3 ware the green beret
  5. Well not sure about the rest but the seals when someone drops out of BUDS they go back to their old rate and are reassigned.
  6. In the Australian Army you you can apply for testing for consideration to undertake prelimanary SAS training, however this must be repetitive and in no way assures you of placement in course training. Usually you would complete subunit PTI Physical Training Instructor course first and return to your unit as a subunit PTI, you may than be called upon to PTI training fulltime, as a stepping stone to Specialist Appointment Training. Open across Corps and often dominated by Airborne & Commandos you may still be considered for SAS course admission through exemplary service and maintaining the highest standards offcoarse. I did have the handbook and course admission requirments years ago ! Based on the Brittish 22nd SAS Regiment.
