Air Force Ground Forces And Special Forces
Air force ground forces and special forces are the land warfare forces of an air force. They may include infantry, special forces, security forces, and military police. Airmen assigned to such units may be trained, armed and equipped for ground combat and special operations. Rationale Traditionally the primary rationale for air force ground forces is for force protection. Aircraft are most vulnerable when on the ground, to offensive counter air operations, and most cannot operate without fixed infrastructure, consumables, and trained personnel. An adversary may hope to achieve air supremacy or protect itself from air attack first by attacking airbases, aircraft and other assets on the ground. Such attacks can be made by, for example, aircraft, cruise missiles and short range ballistic missiles.

RMAF Kuala Lumpur Air Base
RMAF Kuala Lumpur , also known as the Sungai Besi Air Base and Simpang Airport was a key airport in the early years of Malaysia's aviation history. Established in the 1930s, it was the primary gateway for both domestic and international flights in Kuala Lumpur for several decades.

It was subsequently repurposed as a military facility, renamed the RMAF Kuala Lumpur Air Base, and became a vital installation for the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF).

Malaysian Special Forces Selection
The Special Forces Selection is the recruitment, selection, and training process for candidates of the Special forces units in Malaysia. This selection process is not limited only to the special forces of the Malaysian Armed Forces but also includes the Royal Malaysian Police, the Malaysian Coast Guard, and the Johor Military Forces, which is a private army of the state of Johor. Currently, there are four training centres, also known as commando schools, and one non-commando school in Malaysia that conduct special forces selection. In contrast to the United Kingdom Special Forces Selection, which originally had separate selections before being merged in the late 1990s, the Malaysian Armed Forces Special Forces Selection started as one before the Royal Malaysian Navy and Royal Malaysian Air Force initiated their own special forces selection processes in the mid-1980s. The Malaysian Army, which has the largest special forces among other service branches, conducts the selection proce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
