There are three SAS forces on the planet (Note SAS is different from Special Forces). The British, Australian and New Zealand SAS's. The British SAS is thought to be widely the best special forces in the world, although the Australian SAS has beaten the British on numerous training exercises. And the NZ's is not that incredible, just a small country's ordinary special forces unit.

How much does an SAS soldier earn?

As of 2001, it was recorded in the Guardian that SAS soldiers earned between £25,000 and £80,000 per annum, depending upon special skills and allowances. A private in any conventional army regiment earned a basic £13,000. Until 1980, SAS pay was little more than the basic, but it was raised in that year in order to retain skilled soldiers that might otherwise be tempted by the very lucrative private sector, where skilled ex-soldiers are in high demand. Source: see related link. The truth is that although the SAS pay scales are higher than standard infantry, accepting a lower rank in the SAS than in their previous regiment means that some SAS soldiers may take pay cuts to become the best in the world.


Best soldiers in the world?

SAS is a British invention and stands for Special Air Service and their the people who do the most dangerous missions in the British Army.They have the worlds most longest hardest training.reason being its NOT a regiment that u can just walk in and "enroll" like everyother regiment,the S.A.S pick YOU! u have to have served atleast 3 yrs in some form of regiment and then get put through 1 whole year of what is known as the most gruelling training in the world,and then u still mite not make the grade.out of every 1000 men that get picked to train for the British S.A.S only around 4 will make the grade,they select the best of the best then make them better. everyother regiment in the world, be it the American Delta force or British army etc etc anybody can just walk in off the street and enroll,get around 12 weeks of training and vwola ure a soldier.Also the British S.A.S are the most copied in the world,they even help out and better other countries troops like they did with American Delta Force,help make them better. but the British S.A.S do not share "everything" are are the most secretive in the world.This is a list of countries that base/copy the British S.A.SUnited States - Delta ForceAustralia - Special Air Service RegimentNew Zealand - New Zealand Special Air ServiceCanada - Joint Task Force 2Israel - Sayeret MatkalAustralia - Extant - Australian Special Air Service Regiment.Belgium - Extant - Belgian Special Forces Group, closely modelled on the SAS and consisting of Land, Air and Boat sections.

Its official motto is "qui ose gagne", the French translation of "Who Dares Wins". The Regiment's operators are also nicknamed "les SAS français" (the French SAS).

The "Sacred Band" was formed in 1942 in the Middle East from a group of dedicated volunteers, former officers and officer cadets who relinquished their rank and commission in order to fight as regular soldiers. Under their C.O. - Col. Christodoulos Tsigantes, they fought alongside the SAS and SBS in the Libyan desert and the Aegean as well as with General Leclerc's Free French in Tunisia. It is no coincidence that modern Greek Special Forces insignia, bears a distinct resemblance to their brethren SAS insignia, with a winged, upward pointing sword and underscribed motto "? ?????? ????" (essentially translation of "Who Dares Wins").Hong Kong - The Hong Kong Special Duties Unit is a part of the Hong Kong Police Force and was formed in 1973. SDU was modelled on the SAS and was trained by the SAS and SBS.Indonesia - Detasemen Bravo Paskhas TNI AU.Israel - The Sayeret Matkal, an elite unit of the IDF, is modelled on the SAS, and shares the same motto, "Who Dares Wins."
