@AUGUSTUS ...QUALITY IS THE BEST...BETTER BE FEW AND DO THE JOB OF A THOUSAND MEN THAN BE 100 AND PERFORM THE JOB OF ONE PERSON...HENCE SOUTH AFRICAN SPECIAL TASK FORCE MEMBERS ARE LESS THAN 100 AND HIGHLY TRAINED AND PERFORMED BEST DURING ALL CRISIS SITUATION AND HAVE NEVER LOST A HOSTAGE.....JUST TAKE A GOOD ON THEIR SELECTION PROCESS.

SOUTH AFRICAN SPECIAL TASK FORCE SELECTION PROCESS

Highlighting the stringent selection process During the STF Training Course in 2005 a total of 453 applications were received. When pre-selection was done, only 108 of the 453 candidates measured up to pre-selection requirements. Of the 108 who made it through pre-selection, only 42 completed the Preparation and Condition (PREPCON) phase, and only 20 candidates managed to complete the Vasbyt phase. The recruits who didn't pass the PREPCON phase admitted that their failure to do so was due to the insufficient preparation for the course because they had thought that STF’s standards have been lowered. Members of the unit have visited foreign units of a similar role on several occasions, to ensure that the structure and procedures of the unit is in line with international training courses, and to keep up with changes in training and other specialized fields.

UNITED STATE DELTA SPECIAL FORCES SELECTION PROCESS
In a recent interview, former Delta operator Paul Howe talked about the high attrition rate of his Delta selection course. He said that out of his two classes totaling 240 men, only 12 to 14 candidates completed the course.

BRITISH SPECIAL SAS SELECTION PROCESS
The Special Air Service (SAS) is an all-volunteer special forces regiment that is the envy of the world. I realise the phrase ‘envy of the world’ is often lazily trotted out in reference to all sorts of British institutions — from the NHS to our education system — but it is still actually true of the SAS.

Even the U.S. military admits that the SAS is pretty damn good. The Americans styled their special forces elite, Delta Force, on the British regiment, right down to the selection process.

It is that selection process that underpins the excellence of the SAS. It lasts for five months and has a 90 per cent fail rate

Captain Jabu Mbotho is presently bringing his charge SAS Isandlwana to her home port of Simon’s town after taking part in the 10th iteration of Exercise Atlasur. This year’s exercise with the maritime forces of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay took place off the southern coast of Brazil at the beginning of September. Isandlwana, one of the SA Navy’s four Valour Class frigates, exited the Navy’s fleet headquarters on her transit to South America in mid-August.

Nigeria's militant Islamists have "completely surrounded" Maiduguri, the main city in north-eastern Borno state, traditional elders have warned.

The military needed to "fortify" the city, which had a population of more than two million, to prevent an assault "from all directions", they said.

The Boko Haram militants had "annexed" areas that were about 50km (30 miles) from Maiduguri, they said.

Boko Haram declared a caliphate in areas it controls last month.

The government has not yet commented on the statement issued by the Borno Elders Forum (BEF). It represents influential people in the state, including former government ministers and civil servants.

Boko Haram has also captured territory in neighbouring Adamawa state, forcing people to flee into hills, where they are eating leaves, residents told the BBC.

"We are convinced that the Federal Government of Nigeria has not shown sufficient political will to fight Boko Haram and rescue us from the clutches of the insurgents which may ultimately lead to the total annihilation of the inhabitants of Borno," BEF said.

"The insurgents have rendered impassable almost all the roads leading to Maiduguri," it added. BEF said the military needed to "urgently fortify" the city, where Boko Haram was founded in 2002. "The insurgents have surrounded Maiduguri and are nursing the ambition of attacking the city from all directions," BEF said.

The BBC's Bashir Sa'ad Abdullahi in the capital, Abuja, says tens of thousands of people are taking refuge in Maiduguri after fleeing Boko Haram's advance.

It is unclear what is happening in territory under their control in Borno, as the mobile telephone network in many places is down, he says.

In Adamawa, the military has launched an air and ground assault to recapture the town of Michika, seized by Boko Haram on Sunday.
