This is a list of active military special forces units. Several NATO documents use the term special forces. ==Definition== NATO Allied Joint Publication (AJP) 3.5 defines special operations as "Special operations are military activities conducted by specially designated, organized, trained, and equipped forces, manned with selected personnel, using unconventional tactics, techniques, and modes of employment. These activities may be conducted across the full range of military operations, independently or with conventional forces, to help achieve the desired end-state. Politico-military considerations may require clandestine or covert techniques and the acceptance of a degree of political or military risk not associated with operations by conventional forces. Special Operations deliver strategic or operational-level results or are executed where significant political risk exists.' The NATO-Russia Glossary of Contemporary Political and Military Terms does not contain any definition for special forces. It does have a definition for "special operations force''s'' and "special operations force":〔http://www.nato.int/docu/glossary/eng/15-main.pdf〕 special-operations forces special-operations force These are distinct from special-purpose infantry units such as the Royal Marine Commandos. Other potential sources of a good definition for special forces or special operations forces include the ''Department of Defense Dictionary'' (Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms) and the 24th Special Tactics Squadron memoir ''No Room for Error'' by Col. John T. Carney, and Benjamin F. Schemmer.
