Why did the ghazis come to play a lesser part in the ottoman military action?

The ghazis, who were originally inspired Islamic warriors, began to play a lesser role in Ottoman military actions due to the increasing centralization and professionalization of the Ottoman army. As the empire expanded, the sultan relied more on a standing army of Janissaries and artillery, which provided greater discipline and effectiveness in warfare. Additionally, the ghazi ethos became less relevant as the empire shifted focus from religious conquests to territorial expansion and administration. This transition marked a shift from the traditional warrior class to a more organized military structure.

You can enlist with a Special Forces contract aka 18X. However, this only guarantees you a chance to train into SF. If you pass the training, then you are placed into a SF unit.

AND each Branch has it's own Intelligence Field, which is part of Special Operations as a whole).

US ARMY: Notes: Army SF started in Vietnam, but can trace it's lineage to World War II, but it's concept goes back to the Dawn of Modern Warfare.

-Special Forces (Green Berets)

-Army Rangers (75th Ranger Regiment only)

-160th SOAR (Special Operations Aviation Regiment)

-Public Affairs & Psychological Operations

US Navy (Not including Marine Corps)Note: Navy Special Warfare started around the same time as Army SF, but has heritage in World War II

-Navy Seals

-Special Warfare Combatant Crewman (SWCC)

-EOD

-Divers

-Rescue Swimmers (AIRR)

US Air Force: Notes: When having superior Air Power in ground combat became a requirement in all Warfare, the US Air Force was made (After World War II). With this, Air Force Liaisons that knew how Air Craft worked in performing airstrikes, that could also communicate effectively with Pilots, became a "thing". Thus, the Battlefield Airmen (as they are properly called), were born.

-Combat Controllers (CCT)

-Pararescue Jumpers (PJ)

-Special Operations Weathermen (SOWT)

-Tactical Air Control Party Specialists (TACP)

-SERE Instructors

US Marine Corps Notes: Marines fall under the Department of the Navy. The Marine Corps Special Operations is fairly new, compared to our other Special operations Forces (SOF). They include the following list, and possibly more. From what an NCO from the Corp once told me, Marine Recon is not Special Warfare, while Force Recon and MARSOC is.

-US Marine Corps Force Recon

-Marine Corps Special Operations (MARSOC: Not Green Berets, but they also conduct the same job as a Green Berets...Such as Unconventional Warfare, Foreign Internal Defense, Direct Action, ETC....)

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!
