Tactical Significance of the Operation and Preparation of Special Forces
The actions of the Special Forces group had significant tactical importance — they provided support to other Defense Forces units during the liberation of the central part of the city from enemy forces. The Special Operations Forces emphasize that performing reconnaissance and assault tasks in dense urban environments requires a high level of training, endurance, and clear coordination. These are precisely the qualities that Special Forces operators systematically practice in CQB (close quarters battle) and CQC (close combat) training.
The Special Operations Forces continue to carry out missions where the risk is highest, and the outcome is crucial for the overall course of combat operations.
