The primary active element of the SAS is 22 SAS Regiment, supported by two Territorial Army regiments, 21 SAS and 23 SAS. All SAS members have to pass a rigorousselection procedure, but due to the part-time nature of the Territorials, the selection process for members of 21 and 23 SAS isstretched over a period of one year. The three units have different roles: the TA SAS regiments specialise in Close TargetReconnaissance (CTR) (i.e. long range reconnaissance), while 22 SAS performs a wider range of tasks also including CounterRevolutionary Warfare (CRW), Counter Terrorism (CT) and acting as a Quick Reaction Force (QRF). The relationship between theregiments is close, with members of 22 SAS routinely being attached to the TA SAS regiments. During the 1980s, the Director ofthe SAS, Brigadier Peter de la Billière,established a rule that an officer or senior NCO in 22 SAS who wished to gain rank had to serve timewith the TA SAS. |
