The Special Air Service United Kingdom in Military Issues Resource Directory

    

The Special Air Service SAS is the principal special forces organisation of the British Army. Formed in 1941 to conduct raids behind German lines in North Africa, with the Long Range Desert Group, it today serves as a model for similar units fielded by many other countries. The SAS is a small and secretive organisation, but attracts a disproportionate amount of media coverage. It forms part of the United Kingdom Special Forces, alongside the Special Boat Service SBS and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment SRR.
