Fascinating bunch the SAS, they could do about anything with nothing! What's interesting in this photo and I just noticed it now after its been posted on here for a while, note the trooper on the right side with two sidearms in leg holsters.....wonder what the story is on that one???
He's also got the extended 20 round 'car' magazine fitted to the one on the right - I would have thought that was an increased snag risk but each to his own.

U.S. Army Special Forces Soldiers, more commonly known as Green Berets, are the military's most specialized experts in unconventional warfare. Soldiers seeking to earn a Green Beret attend up to three years of specialized training at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School located at Ft. Bragg, N.C. De oppressor liber is the motto of the United States Army Special Forces. In the United States Army Special Forces, the motto is traditionally believed to mean "to free from oppression" or "to liberate the oppressed" in Latin. The United States Army Special Forces, colloquially known as the "Green Berets" due to their distinctive service headgear, are a special operations force of the United States Army that are designed to deploy and execute nine doctrinal missions: unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, counter-insurgency, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, information operations, counterproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and security force assistance. The first two missions, unconventional warfare and foreign internal defenses, emphasize language, cultural, and training skills in working with foreign troops. Other Special Forces missions, known as secondary missions, include: combat search and rescue (CSAR), counter-narcotics, hostage rescue, humanitarian assistance, humanitarian demining, information operations, peacekeeping, and manhunts. Other components of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) or other U.S. government activities may also specialize in these secondary missions. The Special Forces conduct these missions via seven geographically focused groups. Many of their operational techniques are classified, but some nonfiction works and doctrinal manuals are available.
