Abstract

The new development of counterterrorist units are organized within a country’s national army, more specifically on army bases where deep reconnaissance and special force units are also based. This is related to having air assault capabilities – the use of helicopter and parachute airborne operations, which is becoming a requirement for the greater mobility of small but highly professional troops that are now employed in counterterrorist operations. During the Second World War airborne troops employed for or in relations to fighting counterterrorism within the realms of public security. We would regard as such any operation that would have involved the freeing or capturing of incarcerated or protected individuals, the blocking of unconventional forces or the occupation of towns or territories to control public security.
