Fully operational on 2007, the UNGERIN conducts anti-piracy and counter-terrorism operations in the coastal waters surrounding Malaysia and assists the marine police to respond swiftly.

For most operations, the unit is to be supported by various Malaysian special forces units, including Pasukan Gerakan Khas when crimes takes place in Malaysian waters.〔 ==History== Established in March 2006, the ''Unit Gempur Marin'' was created under the Royal Malaysia Police with the first name as the ''Unit Selam Tempur'' due to the pressing need of suppressing pirate attacks alongside the coastal area of Malacca Straits and open sea area of South China Sea which were continuously widespread from time to time despite various efforts done to overcome the problem. Throughout the year of 2006, 239 cases of pirate attacks were reported according to statistics of the International Maritime Bureau, Kuala Lumpur. As a result of concentrated efforts by Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, the piracy activities were drastically reduced. Nevertheless, law enforcement agencies from the 3 countries continue to be vigilant against pirate activity in the Straits of Malacca. For the unit's restructing, the name of UST was changed to ''Unit Gempur Marin'' or ''UNGERIN'' in the year 2008.〔 Its eventual goal is to have 200 operators on standby with UNGERIN. 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「UNGERIN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
