German special forces
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German special forces include the Special Operations Forces (Kommando Spezialkräfte, KSK)[1] of the German Army and the Naval Special Forces Command (Kommando Spezialkräfte Marine, KSM) of the German Navy. Both are regular units and fully integrated into the branches of the German Armed Forces. During operations, special forces personnel are under the command of the special operations division of the Armed Forces Operations Command (Einsatzführungskommando der Bundeswehr) in Potsdam, a branch of the Joint Support Service (Streitkräftebasis).
