Military/ Special forces

Special operations forces (SOF) have always held a certain mystique. Often working in the shadows, the exploits of these specially selected troops have sometimes attained near mythological status.

But while often depicted as super soldiers, SOF units are often tailored for particular mission sets—such as strategic reconnaissance, unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense and counterterrorism. Other units specialize in direct action missions—like raids and ambushes—but each force is different and trained for their particular job. There is no apples-to-apples comparisons—much of it comes down to the individual commando and the units particular mission set.
