John Lofty Wiseman Part of SAS History - A Legend in his own lifetime

Trooper John Wiseman was born in Britain in 1941

John Wiseman was the first to train members of the Green Berets which was at the formation of the USA's Delta Force who are of the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) - commonly known as Delta in the U.S. Army, Delta Force by civilians, and Combat Applications Group by the Department of Defense - is a Special Operations Force (SOF) and an integral element of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).

Delta Force's primary tasks are counter-terrorism and national intervention operations, although it is an extremely versatile group capable of assuming many missions, including, but not limited to, rescuing hostages, raids, and eliminating covert enemy forces. Delta Force conducts missions similar to those attributed to the British Special Air Service (SAS), on which it was originally modelled

John Wiseman set a record being the youngest to pass SAS Selection at the very young age of 18 which is no longer possible and now cannot be beat. His service with the Special Air Service Regiment started in 1958 and served with 22 SAS for approx. 26 years. His worldwide service saw activity in every theatre of special forces operation and was

Sergeant Major, B Squadron Sabre Squadron 22 SAS

Sergeant Major 22 SAS Training Wing

Head of Operational Research 22 SAS

He set up the SP Team Counter Hi-Jack now CRW Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing, The CRW Wing is now nominally made up of the personnel drawn from a single squadron, originally designated "Pagoda", which is relieved every 6 - 9 months. The squadron is split up into two combined troops, "Red" and "Blue", with each troop made up of an assault group and a sniper team. Though the counter-terrorist teams are based at RHQ in Hereford, a specialist eight-man team is based within the outer London region (4, south London border & 4, north London border/Hertfordshire). This team rapidly responds to any situation in London as required.

He help set up the SAS Counter-Terrorist now known as 'The Team' for such teams involved in Operation Nimrod The Iranian Embassy Siege of 1980 was a terrorist siege of the Iranian embassy in London. The siege was ended when British special forces, the Special Air Service (SAS), stormed the building in Operation Nimrod. The incident brought the SAS to the world's attention as the whole episode was played out in the media. Which was undertaken from the SAS barracks Stirling Lines in Hereford

John also ran Survival Training School for 22 SAS at Hereford Stirling Lines for survival skills on land, sea, jungle, desert, arctic, and all manor of wilderness environments. Much of the JWIC Jungle Warfare Instructors Course conducted in Borneo Malaysia is built on the solid foundations laid by John Wiseman and those that followed him. The Jungle Warfare Wing (JWW) is located on the island of Borneo, close to the border with Sarawak (Malaysia) and is supported by the British Army's Brunei Garrison. JWW exists to provide a jungle training facility to meet the requirement to train jungle warfare instructors for the British SAS and other regiments.

John also ran SAS Selection Course which is the hardest course in the world to pass and out of 100 only 5% are consider fit to join the Regiment before they start the real training 'Continuation Training'. The Commanding Officer of 22 SAS is alleged to have said that, "John Lofty Wiseman is an SAS legend" a real accolade from the best.

John Lofty Wiseman has trained survival to many specialists over the years both military and civilian and has undoubtedly saved many lives by his love of all things survival. It is his principles of survival and tools which he introduced that has had the biggest impact on the survival world whose achievements cannot be overestimated!

The USMC are the best men to take beach-heads; Marines are NAVAL INFANTRYMEN. They are part of the US Navy.

The Green Berets are the US Army's best men to accomplish specific missions.

The SEALs are the US Navy's best best men to accomplish (Water related) specific missions.

Why were Navy Seals used instead of Green Berets to kill OBL?

Navy Seals are trained as a small, elite strike force whereas Green Berets are trained to go into enemy territory and set up foreward command posts, train local friendly militants, set up relations between locals and us military and prepare them for when the main force arrives. Green Berets are amazing, but they specialize in a completely differant type of warfare.


What is the best defense of the military - green berets or navy seals?

Personnel of the Green Berets will make it very clear that the Green Berets are the best. They will probably say that they are the best at everything.Unsurprisingly, the Navy SEALs are likely to say exactly the same. So will the British SAS and SBS. Ask the Marines for their opinion and they will say the same about their own service. There are many more just like these.Each of them have certain roles to play, are remarkably well trained and all can rightly claim to be among the elite of the military. We are fortunate to have them as part of the Western free world and if I need military help, I would be glad to see any one of them coming to my aid.


Who would win the marines or the green berets?

Do you mean the Navy SEALS or Green Berets? If so then the Seals, the Green Berets would never see them coming. Of course the Green Berets would beat the marines. Even if they were outnumbered 100 to 1. 1000 to 1, then it's probably 50/50.

Which special forces group is better navy seals or green berets?

It's one of those questions that is impossible too answer. They both ate highly respected and highly trained. Both have there roles in the USSOCOM community. Green Berets have been known to train foreign armies and Special Forces units. SEALs are masters at ship boarding. Green Berets are as mentioned great at trainning foreign units. They can both so DA's(Direct Action) and do them professionally. So to answer you're question, it's impossible to say.
