Members of the Special Forces Group are usually selected from the paracommando units of the Belgian Army. They must have at least four years experience in the military, preferably as a paracommando, to join the Special Forces Group.〔 == History == * In January 1942 the first Belgian parachutists were trained at RAF Ringway, Manchester, England. The same year, the Belgian Independent Parachute Company was established and commanded by Captain E. Blondeel. Later, the unit was incorporated into the Special Air Service Brigade and became the 5th Special Air Service (known as the Belgian SAS squadron). The SAS squadron was active during WWII until enemy activities were discontinued. They performed several operations using the parachute regiment and armoured jeeps. Thereafter, the unit also took part in counter intelligence operations. * On the 21st of September 1945 5th SAS was transferred from the British Army to the newly reformed Belgian Army. Renamed the ''1st Regiment of Parachutists'' they served independently as a highly mobile airborne unit until 1952 when the regiment joined with the Commando Regiment to form a battalion of the Paracommando Regiment. * From 1952 on the traditions of 5th SAS were continued by 1st Parachute Battalion (1 PARA) of the Paracommando Regiment.〔http://www.1para.be/〕 * In 1955 the SOE (Speciale Opsporings Eenheid), translated as the Special Detection Unit, was created and included operators from all divisions of the Army. The unit was part of the 1st Belgian Corps and was commanded by Captain J. BYL and succeeded by Major R. Tagnon. * In 1961, the first Company ESR-GVP (Equipes Spéciales de Reconnaissance-Gespecialiseerde VerkenningsPloegen), translated as the Specialized Reconnaissance Teams, was officially established with R. Tagnon as the first Corps commander. The company was made up of team members from the Army and a Para Commando detachment. They worked in conjunction with all the division as well as the 1st Belgian Corps. The unit consisted of 16 teams of 4 operators as well as support members, for a total of about 120 men. The unit was stationed in Weiden, then in Euskirchen, and finally in Spich until it was disbanded in 1994. * In 1994, the detachment LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) was established following the tradition of the 1st GVP-ESR. The LRRP was dependent on the Para Commando brigade and was stationed in Heverlee till it was disbanded in 2000. * In April 2000, the Special Forces Group was established from the 3rd Regiment Lanciers Parachutisten and was moved to Flawinne. * In February 2003, the Special Forces Group became an independent unit when the 3rd Regiment Lanciers was disbanded. * In 2012 the SFG moved to new barracks in Heverlee and became part of the Light Brigade. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Special Forces Group (Belgium)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
