agdkommando is the special forces unit that is exclusive to Austria. It has been active in Austria since 1962 and is set up to combat Counter-Terrorism and Counter-Insurgency. The soldiers who are part of Jagkommando, which means "Hunting Command" are specially trained professionals who endure tremendous physical and psychological training in order to make this special type of team.
History Of The Austrian Special Forces
The history of the Austrian Commando Units originally started in 1961 at which time Austrian officers trained at the US Army Ranger School in an effort to set up this special Austrian branch of special forces. Since then, the Jagdkommando has turned into one of the most respected forces teams in the world. They specialize in classified missions and incorporated their own military tactics and knowledge into the forces. The Jagdkommando is located in Wiener Neustadt.
How To Become A Member Of The Jagdkommando
Those who join this Austrian special forces team are members of the Austrian Army. Both officers and enlisted men can try out to train for this special branch of the Austrian armed forces. Only 6 percent of those who actually try out for the Jagdkommando actually make it into this forces unit.
In order to train to be a member of this elite squad, soldiers need not have no criminal record, have completed a preparation course if they are enlisted soldiers and have exceptional mental as well as physical fitness.
Training for the Jagdkommando is rigorous at best. It includes alpine training as well as parachuting, swimming, combat training, medical training, survival skills, hand to hand combat and close quarter combat and blast training. There are only a small number of soldiers who pass the course and are awarded the insignia that sets them apart as a member of this elite forces team.
