KOMMONDO SPEZIALKRAFTE - GERMANY



The selection process for the combat positions is divided into two phases:

A three-week-long physical and psychological training regimen (normally having a 40% pass rate),and

later a three-month-long physical endurance phase (normally with a 8–10% pass rate).

During latter phase, the KSK use the Black Forest as their proving grounds for prospective operators. In this time, candidates must undergo a grueling 90-hour cross-country run, followed by a three-week international Combat Survival Course at the German-led multinationalSpecial Operations Training Center.

Upon successful completion of the selection process, candidates may be allowed to start their 2–3-year training cycle with the KSK. This training includes roughly twenty jungle, desert, urban, and counter-terrorism courses at over seventeen schools worldwide

Thier weapons mainly include:-
1. G22 rifle
2. The AG36 grenade launcher mounted to a G36 A2 rifle
3. The HK416 rifle
4. MP7 personal defense weapon

They are less experienced as compared to other special forces due to lack of experiences in counterterrorism, operations behind enemy lines, Germans are least lethal in current decades, but they operate through their Intelligence Agencies in other countries, not at aggressive levels. And thanks to peaceful Europe borders.
But with all due respect to the German forces, they are the best in protecting their country.
