SAS Historical Background Gear SAS units, going to breach into a house All members of the United Kingdom armed forces can be considered for Special Forces selection, but historically the majority of candidates have an airborne forces background. All instructors are full members of the Special Air Service Regiment. Selections are held twice yearly, in summer and winter, in Sennybridge in the Brecon Beacons. Selection lasts for five weeks and normally starts with about 200 potential candidates. On arrival candidates first complete a Personal Fitness Test and an Annual Fitness Test They then march cross country against the clock, increasing the distances covered each day, culminating in what is known as Endurance: a 64 km march with full equipment scaling and descending Pen y Fan in 20 hours. Candidates are taught navigation, patrol formation and movement, and jungle survival skills. Candidates are formed into patrols and, carrying nothing more than a tin can filled with survival equipment, are dressed in old Second World War uniforms and told to head for a point by first light. The final selection test is arguably the most grueling: resistance to interrogation , lasting for 36 hours. 15-20% of the applying soldiers can do all the training They use an entire kevlar fire-proof armor, kevlar helmet, gas masks, Spas 12,Hk 9mm, remmington,MP5K, Browning highpower 9mm.
