Military special forces “A-teams” are what Britain needs to fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), according to a former military reservist and communications expert.
Writing in the Telegraph, former Territorial Army soldier and social media specialist J. Singh-Sohal said Britain must develop a ‘Tier 2’ special forces unit along the lines of the US military’s A-teams.
The 12-strong units would be composed of experts in a range of military skills and be used in training roles instead of Tier 1 combat units like the SAS and SBS.
The former British Army public affairs officer has also worked in communications for the hawkish Henry Jackson Society think tank.
He believes the British military has a unique range of skills like languages, intelligence and mentoring which now need to be consolidated to fight radical jihadists in the Middle East and Africa.
