SPECOM
SPECOM was the English acronym for Special Commando or Commando Speciale in French, the elite military unit and Special Operations force of the Royal Lao Armed Forces (commonly known by its French acronym FAR), which operated during the final phase of the Laotian Civil War from 1972 to 1975.
==Origins==
In late 1971 construction began on a training centre at Seno, near Savannakhet, to provide Commando instruction for the Royal Lao Army (RLA) newly formed 2nd Strike Division (French: ''2éme Division d’Intervention''). The training cadre, consisting of several Laotian graduates of the US Special Forces (USSF) course at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in the United States,〔Conboy and McCouaig, ''South-East Asian Special Forces'' (1991), p. 19.〕 were converted into the core of an elite Special Commando Company (French: ''Compagnie Commando Speciale'' – CCS) or SPECOM for short, directly under the commanding officer of the 2nd Strike Division, Brigadier-General Thao Ty.〔Conboy and McCouaig, ''The War in Laos 1960-75'' (1989), p. 13.〕 Initial progress was rapid and by mid-1972 SPECOM had expanded from a single understrength company to two airborne reconnaissance (recon) companies; a third was raised in mid-1973 when 140 former para-commandos were transferred from the Savannakhet-based irregular Commando Raider Teams (CRTs)〔Conboy and McCouaig, ''The War in Laos 1960-75'' (1989), pp. 41-42, Plate C3.〕 and a heavy weapons company was added, bringing the unit to battalion strength.
