Both Delta and SEAL Team 6/DEVGRU were modeled after SAS, Charles Beckwith spent some time with the SAS and when he was tasked with coming up with a CT/HR unit for the Army, he modeled it after the SAS, same story with Richard Marcinko and ST6

As someone who served in the RAF and decided to leave after a short while - a mistake I've bitterly regretted for all of my life - I feel humbled in the presence of such great men,my respect for you and those who have gone before is eternal - thankyou so much for your service and devotion.

Everyone’s gangster until the Asda security guard turns up

Wow Colin sounds so soft spoken and nice, you wouldn't think he's one of the most highly trained killers on the planet 😂

ANY TROOPER THAT CAN JUMP OUT OF A PERFECTLY
GOOD AIRPLANE HAS MY DEEP RESPECT AND TIP OF THE HAT ! 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧

The US Army soldier mentioned was Colonel Charles Beckwith, a Green Beret. He served in an exchange program with the SAS in malaya (today known as Malaysia) during the malayan emergency. He made a proposal to the higher command, requesting to form a unit like the SAS.

Very accurate explanation. He definitely has a rare perspective, working with 22SAS, and being deployed with the various special mission units of US JSOC.
Who Dares Wins

English born, but raised in the States since I was two...I have a huge amount of pride for both units, scary thought for our enemies ..

Yup, SAS (all variants in Australian and New Zealand), SBS, Delta and Seal Team 6 are all tier one!

Colonel, then Major, Charles Beckwith was a US Special Forces officer that spent time with the British SAS and later patterned the Army Delta Force directly on the SAS.

I've always wanted to serve and be in the Armed Forces but I tore my ACL and fragmented my meniscus in to pieces due to a freak injury. All i can do now is sleep sound at night knowing you guys are keeping the world safe for the rest of us.

Amazing job on this video. You had some really great questions and Colin did a great job at articulating, while being really interesting and insightful. Keep it up!

Just after I passed out of basic back in 96 I was waiting for my trade training to begin and one morning our sergeant asked for volunteers to be enemy, number one rule is never volunteer for anything, especially enemy, as expected nobody volunteered. Someone asked who we were to be enemy for, if it’s the Paras you want nothing to do with it, and reply came back ‘I can’t tell you who but I can tell you where’ you will be spending a week at RAF Hereford’ I immediately put my hand up and volunteered, my mate next to be looked at me like I’d gone mad, I turned to him and said ‘that’ll be 22SAS’ he put his hand up straight away.
Best few days of my early army career being involved in SAS training, either being hostages on a train that they then stormed or a crowd trying to attack a VIP, lots of fun. Didn’t make me want to join but my mate did end up joining another sneaky beaky unit who I won’t name on here.

British army by far the most professional out there

What a nice guy. I know he had a hard time in Iraq but he remained the committed professional he is throughout. The US Army guy that Colin mentioned was Col Charles Beckwith who did an exchange with the SAS in Malaya before going on to command a US special forces unit in Vietnam and developing the delta force (1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta). What I find interesting about the UK SF (and similarly key elements of the commando and P coy Parachute courses) is that the special forces selection process has remained relatively unchanged for over 50 years. The continuation and follow up training regime itself has no doubt adapted and changed but the selection process is a proven model and still remains relevant today.

Met this amazing guy yesyerday. What a life story. A true hero

Utter respect to you both!!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Well explained by Colin. Good video to put up Chris. Stay safe Brother. 👍

Had the pleasure of meeting Colin today and hearing him deliver an incredible speech at a conference. He represents the best of uk military.

I watched this guy Colin on SAS true stories on tv .. he got captured and told his story..respect to him hes a hero

Good way to answer the question mate.

"Chargin'" Charlie Beckwith was the guy who did an exchange with the SAS and started SFOD Delta.
He wrote a book called "Delta Force" (surprise!!!) that was really good in that in talked about his exchange, his Viet Name experience, the political battle to start Delta and the failed US Embassy in Iran rescue mission (Eagle Claw I think was the operation name).

Why argue? We’re allies and all of them are lethal as hell. Sas, seals, green berets, rangers, delta , marsoc, cct... the fact remains.. if you’re on the other side against any of them.. it’s going to be a bad day for you 😂

Thank You for the Video and not forgetting Nirmal Purja MBE a Nepal-born naturalised British mountaineer and a holder of multiple mountaineering world records. Prior to taking on a career in mountaineering, he served in the British Army with the Brigade of Gurkhas for 6 years followed by the Special Boat Service for 10 years.

Know alot of former troopers, commandos, raf reg that have come over to the underwater uber world. Proper down to earth blokes with unreal mentality and capacity ✊

No doubt a huge sense of pride when we hear that American Delta Force is modeled on British Special Air Service - I'm at a loss to the reason why some people gave the thumbs down - SMASH IT!.

Great video and loved the questions that was asked and answered again can't wait for another video keep them coming..

Enjoyed that Chris, you have a new subscriber. Colin's a great guy, the shit he went through over N I was shocking. Good to see him in good spirits.🤙

Never heard of you Chris, however after watching a few of your uploads I’m right into your content bro! Good skills!! I just subscribed

I'm a usa army vet but I have big respect for the british milary Chris 🇺🇸🇺🇸💓

Should read the biographies of Paddy Mayne. Died at just 40 but by that time had achieved more in his short life than most people would dream of achieving in 2.

Well said Colin SAS WHO DARES WINS 🇬🇧👍.

The enormous size of the U.S. military allows for such a wide range of specialisation. People think mostly about Delta, Devgru, Rangers and SEALs. But they have units comparable in selection and training to those units and the SAS/SBS that barely get a mention, like the RRC and 24STS.

I have to agree that alot of the SF units today started with there trainers going to the UK and getting trained by the sas, Delta force is one, Eric Haney talks about the start of Delta Force in his book, i know for a fact that here in the Netherlands our marine SF unit Marsof is based on the english SBS, now the term Marine is a different story, i think we started using that first in the netherlands in the early 1600's, but the context was totally different then it is now, they where not assault soldiers but just the people who worked on ships in the navy.

Excellent -very informative! There now remains only one query to clarify.
Please can you do a video on the difference between s US Navy Seal and a Royal Navy Gasket?

Great video guys. The British SAS Regiment is indeed a versatile unit. Since WWII they have taught the world what an elite special forces soldier is all about. The SBS are the quieter brother of the SAS but just as excellent from what I have been told.

Hi Chris, I read your book "Eating Smoke" years and years ago in some far flung s**t hole - I can't remember which one? Only just realised now that you are the author. Great read mate. Think I read it twice 👍
All the best mucka
Danny Mac -ex Army 😎
Edit: Mega video. Subscribed. Thanks for getting Colin on, well explained 🤙

Colonel " Chargin' Charlie" Beckwith-father of 1rst SFOD aka Delta Force

He just guest spoke at my company 2 days ago he's so down to earth never in my life did I think I'd get to talk to someone like him

What i've heard from guys that was devgru is that their selection called "green team" is pretty much all operational. They get tested on CQB, diving, hand to hand combat, SERE etc.

In the US, Tier 1 refers,to Special Operations units directly under JSOC while Tier 2 refers to Special Operations units under primary control of their particular service. Tier 2 units are lethal and still highly elite. For example Seal Team 6 is Tier 1 and US Navy Seals are Tier 2. In the UKSF. 22 SAS and SBS are considered Tier 1 due to being direct action. For example 18(UKSF) Signal is Tier 2.

What ppl don’t realise that the sbs and sas where made first and America and every other special forces or modern versions where based of them

Very good interview. Keep your content like this. Interviewing experienced guys.

How have I only just found this!! Subscribed 👍🏻 be watching this channel very closely thanks pal

That’s so interesting to hear cause there is a lot of people who get confused and this basically rips it down in general to what each sf are

And there’s also the SRR. But we’re not allowed to talk about them...

Excellent vid, thanks for getting us the insight....I’ll be back

Very well explained

Most unknown is the Dutch KCT.
And MARSOF.

Very proud of everyone in our British Armed Forces, and also to know we have the best training in the world.

Cracking video Chris

Hope you do well Chris. Life is what you make of it. All the best. Subscribed.

All I can be sure of is that the Spacial Forces units mentioned above are without doubt exceptionally good, and are allies, and thankfully on our side.

Most of the worlds sf units are based off sas. With selection and training. Looking back to when they started in ww2 the British army didn’t want this crazy misfit unit and were nearly binned after their first op. To been the worlds best sf unit.

Ha ha ha, Chris you must know 'Sticks' Palmer. He is a good friend of mine and we go out for a few pints or 20 now and then. I could mention other mates but I better not. You know the form. Love you channel. Great stuff.

What about the Australian SASR and New Zealand NZSAS?

Great video lads! @Colin, I always thought that the SAS was a kind of next step for the Paras who were interested in taking their career forward and had a lot of Paras who tried out at Hereford, more than any other part of the Military? And the RMC were more inclined to take the step to SBS? Anyway interesting stuff...great channel Chris, good to see you again, if only on KRplus.

Charlie Beckwith (Delta Force founder) was seconded to the SAS and worked with the likes of Lofty Wiseman in the jungle. If you watch to the Lofty Wiseman bush craft series of videos on here, you can listen to him tell all about it.

My Grandfather Major George I.A Duncan was a founding member of Britain’s Special Forces in North Africa alongside Sterling and Paddy Maine to name just a couple. He went on to win the Military Cross twice, called a Military Cross and Bar and was given it by the king when he got home. He was responsible for successful missions on Sicily, Greece and Crete. He and his men destroyed airfields and planes, fuel and ammunition dumps and all communication equipment. They didn’t take prisoners, literally. They weren’t equipped to, so if you were on a base they raided you either got your throat slit or died fighting or you hid. He was eventually taken prisoner but managed to escape from every prison he was put in. Once he and a friend dressed up like Italian officers and just walked out of the front gate. He was a warrior and a lesser known war poet. He had articles printed in national newspapers and wrote for a magazine published in his local area. He became a Boy Scouts leader and many of the kids and young men that came and joined his troop from deprived backgrounds went on to serve their country as soldiers, Paras, Marines and Special Forces. He was an amazing man. He didn’t even have to go to war because he was a farmer, a protected career. He joined up because he believed he had to do his part to thwart the Nazi and Fascist threat to his country. He originally trained as a Blackwatch commando and then in North Africa joined the Long Range Patrol Group which he and others turned into the SBS and SAS. The men of the SBS originally wanted their motto to be “baffle them with bullshit”, but that became “By strength and guile”.

We should share a few pints then, I have also checked off all my bucket list items.
-Skydiving, scuba, commercial diver, fixed-wing pilot, deckhand on Bering sea fishing boats, Army, Legion, Firefighter, EMT, world travel, ect.

Charlie beckworth, was the us officer that was attached. charge em Charlie we called him. a great lad

Colin is the true Gentleman SAS Soldier. Nice guy. But could easily rip you a new yin.

It Was US Army Col Charles Beckwith. Who done the The SAS Exchange in the Early 1960s.

My father was in the navy and my father in-law was in the SBS - both served during the second World War .

The SAS was observed by a U.S. Navy sailor during operations during World War 2 and this sailor was so impressed with the skills they portrayed. Fortunately, this sailor after the war would be elected President of the United States and the founding father of U.S Special Forces and a school at Fort Bragg named after him called The John F. Kennedy School of Special Warfare

you couldn't ask to be killed by a more polite bloke hahaha.... chris,you sir are a gent and a scholar. thanks for your service,stay safe and god bless to you and your family

One tough Scottish guy 💪🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 ALWAYS BRITISH

To join delta or SFOD-D the only requirement is you be employed by DoD: any branch or a janitor at DIA. To join devgru the process is far more difficult. Step #1: join navy - Step#2: Get prebuds order 4month step#3: 6 month buds step4: 6month seal qual training. Step5: go on 1-3 deployments as a regular vanilla team navy seal. If you survive that. Step5: convince your command to let you apply for green team / 9 month selection assessment & training. #6: attend 9month green team. All 9 month is considered selection and assessment unlike buds. It’s actually mixed threw from day 1. 6 blocks. 85-95% of navy seals fail green team. It’s harder than buds because the amount of pressure and fear of failure having to go back to your seal team 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,10,sdv and look at everyone if you fail green team. But I will say it’s the one school you fail nobody will give you shit about failing because they feel so bad for you. Lol.

I’ve heard that the RAF regiment are to start their own SF unit. Wonder if it will be something similar to the US PJ’s 🤔

Do a vid on task force black please god bless.

New to your channel have you done vids on the path finders?

Finally an individual who actually is appropriate to comment on same field expertise👍.

'Chris thrall has uploaded a video'....
*likes video... then press play x

How much harder is SAS from the parachute regiment or the SBS from royal marine commando basic?

Chris do you know much about the uk new ( ish ) ranger regiment ???

Good work

Aren’t seal team six classed as a development group(devgru)

Came in after a 3 day op in S.Armagh, we were green as fuck. As Tankies our normal job was a million miles from being on the ground like that in an infantry role. Day 2 of our tour we went out on this op into areas that hadn't been covered for a while. Got back all in one piece, having a beer in the NAAFI at Bessbrook and y#this guy comes in, green kit but, he's carrying an MP-5 with the dogs bollocks sights etc. We sus straight away he's not a normal squaddie. He comes to our table and says. good op lads well done! Anyone want a beer and is it ok if I join you? Of course no one is saying no. He compliments us on our drills and skills and tells us they are a bit pissed off because we were doing things right it put the IRA off having a crack at us! So....we were bait then? Yeah pretty much! One of the lads asked the stupid question.....is it really that hard to pass selection and get in? The guy said, humble as you like, I'm a total wanker and I got in so, if you want to go for it just try! Obviously he wasn't a wanker but, his get up and go attitude was amazing and a bit inspirational!

Charlie Beckwith was attached to The Regiment in the 60's and served with them in S.E.Asia. He was wounded and stayed with them while convalescing and wrote up his plan for a US unit to use SAS methods and procedures. The Desert One disaster which staged from RAF/RAFO Masirah was the first shaky start to a very robust and flexible outfit.

Guy on the right is basically, Capt. Price.

A lot people will say no this team is better or the other and really there’s no way tell who “better”. Although, mostly every SF group is based on the SAS mainly because they have amazing training. Although I think our SAS equivalent SF group in the US is probably CAG(Combat Applications Group)or also known as Delta Force. CAG and the 75th Ranger Regiment(also some badass guys and gals)carried out a raid on Al Baghdadi last year.

What is SRR closest to

Hi what is the view of SRR or DI as it used to be?

Actually during the WoT, the US Army Rangers have killed and/or captured more terrorists than Delta Force, SEALs, Army SF, and USMC...combined. They have been and still are the most active unit in the US ground forces with more combat missions than the others...also combined.

Fred Dibnah was the real super soldier though.

Everyday is a school day!! Warriors 💜🙏🙌1️⃣🌟

I just noticed world maps seem to have your place front and centre, depending what country you're in.

only thing that get me is that the parsites in westminster expect one hell of a lot for what they are prepared to pay you.......you would have thought that they would get tripple pay and be treated to five star treatment when they are not on duty rather than just the palad inn to unwind in...........i have a friend back out in Thailand, he was an NCO from 2.2 he got injured out when a C130 he was riding in hit the side of a mountain in Bosnia and kart wheeled.............he has serious PTSD.......he is a superb fella but he got warned to leave England if he did not want to end up getting locked up, for acting out with his PTSD which incidentaly the MOD still refuse to recognize as a condition that they bear responsibility for as so that they do not have to spend the money on fixing the people who they screwed up........................i respect you Chris but i would not be prepared to serve an institution that spits me out and takes no responsibility for once they have got what they want. better to just get the training and turn freelance if you are going to go that route.

SAS, SBS & U.S. Navy SEALS may differ in selection and training criterias and they're all capable of reconnaissance & their direct action just means insertion extraction missions objectives (going in fast and get the job done fast as possible out fast too) unlike U. S. Green Berets they stay for longer mission objectives including psyops, winning hearts & minds through medical assistance.... etc.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the Americans had a special forces unit called the "Sealions". Could you through any light on this please?

What's the difference between Royal Marine Commando and an SBS soldier?

Any R.E. or R.E.M.E on here or anyone that knows about them in their operations?
I'm asking because my dad (R.I.P) was R.E. (52nd I think, 60's early 70's) but he would never really tell us kids about what they got up to. What they really got up to.
Yeah, he would tell us he fixed lorries and jeeps, build the odd bridge, but that was about it.
I have a picture of him in some desert with what i think is a Bren mk2 or 3 (im not sure, might be wrong).
I overheard him one night telling him and my mum's friends that they were dropped onto a runway at night, cut holes in the runway, put in explosives and blew up the runway. When they were waiting for the helicopter to come and pick them up, they were under heavy fire and had to defend their position. He said they got out okay. That was Mid-East or North Africa. That's the only real story i heard.....and I wasn't even supposed to hear that.
Heres me thinking they were fixing jeep engines...
He done Singapore, Burma, France, Mid-East, Oman, Germany and settled in Northern Ireland.
I know he was a Corporal when he left.
Was a Combat Engineer at one point (would love to hear about that or is that blowing up runways in foreign countries?),
Had weird scars on back of his neck....a deep gouge, one either side of his spine
and had really sore toes all the time.
Dont know if those last two have anything to do with anything, thought id put them in,you never know.
Anyway, I would love to hear some home truths about what the R.E. and R.E.M.E. really get up to.

Little known fact, Christopher Lee served with the SAS in WW2

If you fail selection for SBS you are given the option to go for selection in SAS. Hope that clears it up.

The US has two Tier 1 SF. Seal Team 6 and Delta. UK has SBS and SAS. Am I wrong?

The KRplusr look almost like captain price

I done 22 years in the Army and we always looked up to the lads that had the gumption to go on selection. However the mystique and the training methods, tactics etc has been given away by our Westminster politicians sending not just special forces training teams out but training teams from the Army to different parts of the world to bring their forces up to the same level as British forces. So our effectiveness is being jeopardised by greed.

Thought it was John Wayne whom formed the Green Berets. Sorry just being lighthearted.
Actually I thought or heard that the Royal Marines go through Special forces selection like everyone then go on to do a further course to become a member of the SBS.
