Définition(s)

  • The original Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) was established in Great Britain during World War II. Created by David Stirling in 1941, the SAS was conceived as a desert raiding force, operating behind German lines in North Africa to wreak havoc on the enemy's supply lines. Disbanded in 1946, only to be revived in 1947 in the form of 21st Battalion, Army Air Corps SAS, it was deployed in the Korean War in 1950 and to what is now Malaysia from 1950 to 1955, where it gained much expertise in jungle warfare.
