In the film Dog Soldiers what unit were the soldiers from?
In the 2002 British horror film Dog Soldiers, the unit led by Captain Ryan is never identified. The only unit that is identified is the SAS (Special Air Service) unit the platoon was dropped in to meet in mock combat. They find that unit, however, already decimated by the werewolf pack. It can be somewhat surmised that Cpt. Ryan's platoon is another element of the SAS or some other special forces unit, due to the weapons they carry and equipment they wear.(I believe I identified at least three commonly used by SAS units)Sig Sauer P226 pistol (but this is a common hand weapon for many military units)The HK MP5 sub machine gunThe HK 417 - medium range sniper rifle (common for counter terrorist units like SAS)The AI L96A1 - long range sniper rifle (almost exclusively carried by SAS units)

Does sas stand for special air service?
The SAS was created back in World War II. I've read somewhere that its founder, a British Army lieutenant named David Stirling, had called the newly established commando unit "Special Air Service" in order to deceive the Nazis into thinking that the SAS was bigger and better equipped than it really was at the time. In truth, the SAS had no dedicated air assets back in 1941 and airborne insertions were not yet among the elite unit's stronger points. Stirling was promoted to the rank of captain not long after.
