Sciathán Fiannóglaigh an Airm
In the late 1960s, the Defence Forces established Special Assault Groups in the Army to meet security challenges on the border with Northern Ireland. A number of Army officers attended the United States Army Ranger School in Fort Benning, Georgia who returned to conduct Army Ranger courses in Ireland with the first held in 1969. Among its founding officers was later-to-be Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Dermot Earley. Special Assault Groups were formed comprising 40 Rangers trained in all arms, engineering and ordnance techniques. By the mid 1970s, the Defence Forces had over 300 Rangers who conducted support operations on the request of the Garda Síochána. Students on these courses were selected from among all ranks and units of the Army, Naval Service and Air Corps. The courses improved standards of physical endurance, marksmanship, individual military skills and small unit tactics. In December 1977, the Garda Síochána formed a counter terrorist unit named the Special Task Force to operate in border regions that was later to become the Emergency Response Unit. In 1978, following an assessment of the SAG, it was decided to consolidate the Rangers into a new special forces unit with a counter terrorist capability following an increase in international and national terrorism, such as the 1972 Munich massacre in Germany, and a number of hostage-takings by the Irish Republican Army. The Army Ranger Wing was formally established, in accordance with the Defence Act, by Government order on 16 March 1980. The ARW received its colours in 1981; Black, Red and Gold, signifying Secrecy, Risk and Excellence. In 1991, the ARW was granted permission to wear the Green beret.

X-Factors

They also train with the special forces of Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, UK, and the USA; the North Korean Spec Ops force are trained in many of the same things (Physical fitness, weapons and marksmanship, tactics, ect.) They have been brainwashed by years of propaganda and will fallow their commanding officer's orders to the letter. They've also been trained to get past South Korea's defences

Expeirience: The SFA have been around since the late 1960s, and have foiled many of the IRA's plots, deployed in Somalia, East Timor, Liberia, Chad, Central African Republic, and Mali; Although it is unknown when they were first officially formed, their first known operations came on October 30, 1968. The NKSOF have only engaged in skirmishes against South Korea and their allies and are only trained to fight on the Korean peninsula

Extremism: the SFA, like most Special Forces, while they cause general panic amount their enemies, do everything in their power to avoid civilian casulaties; The NKSOF have riddled the land with box mines, not giving a damn about civilians safety and will submit to execution for failiure

Logistics: SFA have a budget of $1.14 billion; the NKSOF have a budget of $1.6 billion
