South Koreans, ferociously tough, well trained, top guys

Taiwan, I don't know.


Obviously not first hand, but I remember reading in "One perfect op" about a training op the SK UDT guys and SEALs had. Basically, they were doing a long combat dive and with about 3-1/2 minutes left, one of the SK UDT guys tank fouled up. So, he swam the remaining 3-1/2 minutes underwater (obviously) without any air. Also, the next night, a SK UDT officer was disciplining one of his guys by beating him over the head (hard) with an oar. Also, the SK UDT selection course is very similar to BUD/S. So I agree 100%.
I've never heard anything about Taiwan's SOF. I'm sure they probably have a Ranger type element and a Tier 1 force who has sub-units trained in DA/Recce/Combat swimming/etc.

You might want to check your "Fact" again.

   You yanks are so thick!! I think if you look into the history you will find that Oz SF`s are trained by the British along with other SF`s around the world.(British Soverign Country`s).
 
Along with SEAL`s you`ll find that back in 68 the yanks asked the British SB`s to train voluntary U.S soldiers Gurilla warfare. Thus being now called SEAL Teams and I bet you won`t find that fact on the >

Couple of points son, 1, I am not a "yank", 2, what in Gods name is this "British soverign country" bollocks, the Queen may be the titular head of the country but thats figure head, the Australian SASR, note SASR, to differenciate themselves, being a seperate but equal brother unit, train themselves, they have facilities in a lot of cases only matched by the US, including a rather nifty new urban warfare/tactics town...but I'm talkiing to an expert so what do I know....

The SEAL's were founded in 62, not 68 and there job was not guerrilla warfare, but maritime special operations...thus being called SEAL's, Sea Air Land....strike 2
