Almost all of the countries in the world form a special operations force within their militaries, in order to cope with any unprecedented threat or situation. Pakistan also has a special operations force, known as the Special Services Group (SSG), which was ranked among the ten best special forces of the world, by an international journal earlier today.

SSG Training

Whether these are the dead-cold glaciers of Siachin or immeasurable depths of the sea, Pakistan’s SSG commandos never let their target escape. The SSG comprises of personnel from all the three military services, Pakistan Army, Pakistan Navy and the Pakistan Air Force, who are trained extensively to deal with a kind of situation, never witnessed before and they have always kept up their reputation by not letting the country down under any circumstances.

SSG - Actio

These lion-hearted sons of the soil have always proven their metal during numerous covert and overt operations.

According to the international journal ‘Armed Forces History Museum’, Pakistan’s Special Services Group (SSG) has got an edge over the special forces of several countries of the world due to its special operations, counter-terrorism, rescue of hostages, foreign as well as internal defense, direct action and for probing of sensitive matters.

SSG Commondo Navy

The international journal declared Pakistan’s SSG to be at par with the US Green Berets and Britain’s SAS, which surely holds the capability of making possible, an impossible mission anywhere in the world.

SSG  - Soldier

Pakistan’s SSG known as the ‘Black Storks’ worldwide, is a division sized group headed by a Major-General and divided into ten battalions, the actual strength of which is classified.

The SAS of Britain topped the ranking, while US Navy SEAL Team 6 – DEVGRU secured the second slot, however the  Indian special force could not even come close to the list.

The Armed Forces History Museum wrote:

“This Pakistan Special Service Group (SSG) is also known as “Black Storks” a name derived from their unique headgear the “Maroon Beret”.  The SSG has ten specific missions for which they are trained:

  • Asymmetric Warfare
  • Special Operations
  • Counter-Proliferation
  • Unconventional Warfare
  • Foreign Internal Defense
  • Special Reconnaissance
  • Direct Action
  • Hostage Rescue
  • Counter-Terrorist
  • Personnel Recovery

This elite group from Pakistan is somewhat similar to the US Army’s Green Berets and the British Army’s SAS. They often conduct exercise missions with special forces from other countries such as China and the UK”.

    Strongly Disagreed.
    SSG is the BEST and top of the list. We don’t need any certificate from US/UK. If they want to know they must see at Cambrian Patrol Exercise 2010. Then it will be cleared as BLACK & WHITE.
