Australian SASRNo, the SASR is the same as Britain's Special Air Service. They accept far fewer candidates than the USMC, which is an entire branch of the US Military.

To put it in comparison, the SASR, as a regiment of the Australian Army, only have around 3000-5000 soldiers (naturally, this makes selection much more competitive). The USMC, on the other hand have 243,000 members.

Who is better Britain's SAS or Australia's SASR?

Both are elite forces, but Britain's SAS was the original special force. The Australian SASR is modeled after the British SAS, even sharing the same motto: "Who Dares Wins," but they also draw on the experience of WWII Australian special forces and commando's, particulary "Z Special Unit" also known as "Z Force". I'd think they'd be pretty even, but because the British SAS has been around longer, I'd say they have a slight edge on the Australian SASR.

What country has the best Special Operations Forces?

The Australian SASR special forces. It is almost impossible to pass the 21 day selection course and if you do there is a further 18 months of training before you become a SAS Trooper. The SAS soldiers train many other special force units including the US Navy Seals. The mission success rate of The Australian SASR is 100%. Turkish Special Forces.also known as maroon berets. here in my county (germany), the annual competitions between the special forces including greece austria belgium holland germany and france,Turkey won it. Nato doesnt do it anymore after turkish special forces 3 years consecutively winning the competition with the highest score. The World Key Lock Record: 7 seconds and i reserched and talked with many journilist friends to make sure about them and what i heard is their goverment doesnt let even have a website. i heard from my older brother who is one of german special forces n joined the paracros 2005 special forces competition. - The Trust Shot is part of their exercised on the last month of the training and is to ensure that soldiers can trust eachother with their lives in every situation in operation.it consist of two members fires of squad standing next to the paper targer boards while another special force fires on targets with a handgun while walking towards them from 15 metres(49feet) away. the interesting thing is during the exercise the soldiers standing next to the targets are not allowed to move or wear Body Armor.(only turkish special forces exercise the trust shot in the world) There are three categories of education and training that a MaroonBeret will undergo. These are a) Domestic b) International c) Specialty Within these three categories, there are 47 different subjects. Domestic training takes 72 weeks of basic training; International training takes 10 to 52 weeks of specialized training in different countries. It takes 3.5 years to become a MaroonBeret. what an interesting story again i heard from my brother who went to ankari in 2004 (Turkey Capital City), only their military zone has no security and safe wires.it looks like perfect easily accessible military zone where nobody can still enter. don't be fooled by the american movies. if you cant get any information instead of getting all you need while surfing on internet about special forces such as u.s british etc.. , doesnt it make the first one more special at least? funny truth..


Are army green beret better than navy seals?

Are you serious? Marines vs Green Beret even if you said marine recon that would still be a silly question. Now in todays military the marines have there own special forces program that is mirrored after the green berets because the marines where loosing there best men to the seals so they started there own program. but, it is new and still in the working out the kinks stage but, in a decade we can compare but, they are still to young to put it in a sf, seal, delta category.
