Best ground forces of the world?

Answer 1

""U.S. Navy SEALs hands down. They are the most dynamic and elite warriors in the world.""

Response:

SEAL'S are a specialized military groundbreaking unit , yet they can't be considered a genuine ground force, and their size of force is small and specialized. SEALS endure physical and mental punishment which is unprecedented during the course of their training regime.

The world famous KGB of Russia and the SAS of the UK are less infamous than the SEALS, yet they lack next to none in their potency, are hard battled, tested and are less dependent on technology. Both training regimes require different methodologies. Both, like the SEALS are small specialized military groups and can't be genuinely regarded as the best ground force.

When we talk of "best ground forces" it becomes an entirley different situation.

We all like to believe the security of our own armed forces (and we must) but there are those who are willing to compare against other nations. This is entirely wrong. Each country situation is completely different so no country or culture stands apart in this matter.

Australian, Indian, South African and New Zealand army's during the the great wars were incredibly efficient on the ground and sought after by the likes of the US, UK and French. Russian soldiers during the war were the machine, relentless with help from their USSR comrades striking from the East. There wasn't just the above, each and every brave individual risked their lives from all kinds and gave us the opportunity to live to our present day.

In terms of the overall structure of an army ground unit today (from 1948 to present), Israel is probably the most established ground fighting unit known in the modern world, certainly the most efficient and incredibly forceful.

I am discussing ground force efficiency, not global dominance in compliance to super powers of the modern or past world.
