SOMALI officers may soon participate in Türkiye's SAT/SAS training programs and begin serving as Navy SEALs/
#SpecOps specialists in brotherly Somalia based on a new TSK doctrine expected to come into effect in 2025, pending approval by Türkiye's MGK as well as Somali authorities.
The proposal envisions successful Somali SAT/SAS commandos to serve a short 1-year stint with the
#TurkishNavy to ensure complete interoperability with their brethren from Türkiye and gain experience in
#NATO-level operations.
Türkiye's SAT/SAS (Su Alti Taarruz/Su Alti Savunma) teams are fully volunteer-based and are recruited from both officer and enlisted corps. Known to be among the most mentally demanding and physically difficult military training programs in the world, the fail/dropout rate of the program is reported to be over 85%.
SAT/SAS teams excel at utilizing a wide spectrum of weaponry, practice all aspects of advanced warfare while specializing in amphibious & "black ops" behind enemy lines. 🇸🇴🇹🇷
