service groups

The Pakistan Army Special Service Group (SSG), colloquially known as the Maroon Berets due to their distinctive service headgear, is the special operations force of the Pakistan Army mandated and tasked with their five primary missions: foreign internal defense, reconnaissance, direct actions, counter-terrorism, and the unconventional warfare– their most important mission.The Special Service Group's other roles included the combat search and rescue, seek and destroy, counter-proliferation, military hostage rescue, information operations, peacekeeping missions, psychological operations, security assistance, and enemy manhunts.The command and control of the special forces fall in the domain of the Pakistan Army's Strategic Forces Command (ASFC), and its personnel are directly recruited into ISI's Covert Action Division (CAD) upon their retirements. Many of their operational work and war techniques are kept in secrecy and knowledge of their work became known in public through the published literary work by the army veterans or authorized documentaries in the news media.
