Royal Special Forces Training Manual (Chapter 5)

Communication and guidance

During special training for all special air force regiments,

All must first become a qualified British Army signal officer. This includes mastering coding and decoding skills, mastering Morse code, modern information transmission techniques, and transmission methods and techniques. This is the most demanding part of the course. The basic radio equipment is PRC319. The device is powerful and can preset 20 channels, 500 hours of memory storage, and burst transmission. After the information is input to the electric keyboard, it can be sent out after detection, coding, and compression. The receiver receives the signal and decompresses it to original information. Burst transmission means that information can be delivered at an incredible rate and at high speeds, avoiding the danger of staying in the open space for too long. The PRC319 is only one of the special airline crews who contacted a series of radios, transmitters, beacons, and tracking devices during special training. They needed to demonstrate good technical skills in the use of communication technologies and techniques before they could finally meet the standards.

They must master artillery and air strike skills, and in particular they must use laser marking systems. This skill, combined with the assault aircraft that fire laser-guided bombs (or "smart bombs"), can produce large-scale killing effects. During the Gulf War, the Special Air Force used this to assist the Allied aircraft in destroying enemy armored vehicles, missile launchers and communications centers. The special air mission commando fired a strong laser beam at the target to test the target’s response. This information was also received by the assault aircraft. The aircraft then fired a laser-guided bomb at the target. The degree of accuracy is surprising. Smart bombs have become an increasingly important component of air strike tactics.

Soldiers must master the skills of artillery and aerial combat, and in particular they must use laser marking systems.

Another system that must be mastered by special aircrew is the global positioning system used for guidance. For those new players who rely on maps and compasses, GPS is a clairvoyant. GPS reads information from a group of navigation satellites. The GPS receiver determines its own distance from these satellites, and then uses these distances to accurately locate. GPS can not only prevent soldiers from getting lost on the battlefield, but also provide precise coordinates for launching air and artillery strikes.

parachute

Parachuting is the last basic skill in special training. Therefore, new players will be very excited to learn. But he still must concentrate. Parachuting is not a simple skill. During the course of study, trainees are always at risk of injury. The old wounds left in the previous phase may be hit again at this stage.

Special air missions learn to parachute through static skydiving. In other words, the parachute is automatically deployed by means of a line that connects the parachute and the new player to jump off the plane. In fact, each soldier opens the parachute at the same height, which helps to land at a more accurate landing site and is safer because it reduces the deployment error of the parachute. Only when the new team members really become a special airline can he further learn the deeper skydiving skills. (See Chapter 6).

Before finishing the special training course, the soldier needs to complete 8 parachuting exercises. The first week was done on the ground. This stage is to teach new players how to close the umbrella, how to properly land, and some theories about how the parachute moves in the atmosphere.

Like ordinary people, there are times when special air crew members are afraid. However, their determination to learn skydiving is stronger than that of anyone else.

After learning to parachute, special air crew members will be arranged for in-flight drills immediately, such as seeing if the parasols are entangled. Most of their training is in the skill of landing, which is the most dangerous stage in skydiving. Those special airline team members who are parachuting to the enemy will be tantamount to being killed or captured by the enemy if they break their ankles.

The second week's training focused on practicing the technique of jumping from the door on the ground model. This model was equipped with a huge fan to create a simulated air flow. The next training took place on the 22.3m (75ft) tower in order to find the feeling before they first experienced skydiving.

At the end of the second week of training, new players should be familiar with the various parasols and their components, including life jackets, spare parachutes, and special parachutes used for skydiving.

The first real parachute jump was in the third week. The new players lined up in two columns and jumped off a C-130 Hercules plane with a height of 300 meters. All people must follow the following procedures:

After the officer issued the order to check the equipment, the new team members checked the equipment of themselves and the person in front of them.

The chief ordered all the players to stand up in two teams facing the tailgate.

Everyone hooks their own fixed umbilicals to the cables in the cabin.

As the lights on the doors changed from red to green, the new team members forcefully jumped out of the cabin and began landing.

If the new player successfully lands and lands safely, he will face another seven parachuting and gradually calm down. The entire exercise process was easy to difficult, and the skydiving height was further reduced to 150 meters. Another parachute jumped to the surface of the water. The last parachute jump was performed at night. This was a rare experience for each special crew member.

Parachuting at night is a bit more difficult for big guys because their weight causes them to land faster. If the landing site is improper or excessively hard, there is the possibility of breaking bones or necks.

From the above we can see that special crew members are as fearful as the average person. However, their determination to learn skydiving is stronger than that of anyone else. After the skydiving training, the enthusiasm of the new players has been further enhanced. At this time, they have actually become a member of the British Special Aviation Corps. The next step is field training.

The principle of using light weapons

l Before setting the trigger, do not shoot in a certain direction unless you are performing a carpet sweep.

• Use semi-automatic mode (so that you can hit the target more accurately) when shooting long-distance targets, use three-shot bursts when shooting nearer targets, and use fully-automatic shooting only to ensure hits during large-scale charge.

l Do not crush the trigger and do not smash because it will affect the stability of the gun.

• Load two tracer bullets at the bottom of each clip. They will tell you that the bullets have been shot.

l In the case of violent fire, even if the currently used clip is not used up, replace it with a new magazine full of bullets.

l Do not stay too long in a shooting position if possible because it will attract the enemy's firepower.

• When selecting targets, select the enemy’s officers to destroy the command and discipline of the enemy.

• Do not play only one or two shots when shooting at an enemy. Shoot continuously until it falls.

The ammunition consumption budget of each special air force team member is much higher than that of regular troops. New players entering special training will find that their chances of using grenades are much higher than they were when they were serving in other places.

The grenades used by special air missions are mainly L2A2 type personnel grenades. They are also the standard equipment of the British Army. Its total weight is 450 grams, and the explosive weighs 170 grams. There is a delay of four seconds and the killing range can reach 20 meters. Its lethality mainly comes from the pre-cut metal strip placed between the projectile and the explosive. It has performed well in the jungle war environment.

Special air missions perform stun bullets and their safety devices that are often used in the rescue of hostages. They are non-lethal weapons that can emit about 160 decibels of noise and a dazzling flash of up to 300,000 CDs, which can temporarily deter the enemy from resisting.

Use of Claymore Landmines

In ambush training, new players will learn to use Claymore as part of the ambush system. When this mine exploded, it produced directional fan-shaped killing debris. It contained 350 metal balls. When detonated, the metal ball can scatter up to 2 meters and kill up to 50 meters in diameter. It is very difficult for the enemy who entered this range to survive. When used in Vietnam, these land mines produced terrible results: victims were almost stripped of metal balls. However, they are very useful ambush tools.

In addition, Claymore mines can also be used to attack enemy vehicles. It can damage the car's engines and light tanks and trucks. In a truly key combat location, special air mission squads will use such mines while carrying out light and heavy fire attacks.
