Special Air Service (SAS)
![]() | About the SAS 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. The SAS is widely regarded as one of the finest and best trained special forces units in the world. |
The SAS forms part of the United Kingdom Special Forces, alongside the Special Boat Service (SBS), Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR), and Special Forces Support Group (SFSG). The SAS is the oldest special forces unit in the world, tracing its existence back to 1941 and the North African Campaign of the Second World War.
