GREAT BRITAIN SPECIAL FORCES: THEIR STRUCTURE, TASKS,
RECRUITING AND COMBAT EMPLOYMENT PECULARITIES

The history of Great Britain Special Forces establishment and development is

analyzed. The main stages of the organization as well as the main tasks assigned to
the SF units and the peculiarities of their combat employment are discovered. The
origins of Great Britain Special Forces which can be noticed in small mobile cavalry
group employment during the first Anglo-Boer War have been specified.
Chronological order has been used since the creation of special units during the initial
period of the Second World War until 1987 – the time of British army SF groups’
creation. The effectiveness of British SF units’ combat actions during Second World
War and postwar local armed conflicts has been estimated. The United Kingdom
operatives’ armaments and military equipment have been examined. Ways of foreign
experience applying to improve Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of
Ukraine management and official business are outlined. It has been done for the
successful tasks performance during the militant actions against Russian aggression
and illegally created armed units in the east part of Ukraine.
Keywords: British Armed Forces, Special Forces, Second World War, local
