| Introductory Brief on the UK Special Forces Support Group |
| 2025-09-21 |
| [GreyDynamics] The Special Forces Support Group (SFSG) is a special forces unit of the British Armed Forces and one of the units that form the United Kingdom Special Forces (UKSF). Its mission is to support the operations of the main UKSF units of the Special Air Service (SAS), the Special Boat Service (SBS) and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR). The SFSG is a `Tier 2´ tri-service unit comprised of personnel from all three branches of the Armed Forces, Army, Navy and Air Force. It is composed of personnel from the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment (1 PARA), a Commando Company from the Royal Marines and a flight platoon from the Royal Air Force Regiment. The SFSG was established in 2006, a year after the creation of the SRR and the 18 (UKSF) Signal Regiment. It is therefore one of the newest British special forces units and reflects the expanding role of special forces in UK defence policy. |
