The War Zone - Special Forces

When conventional forms of combat prove ineffective, governments all over the world turn to special operations forces that employ covert tactics such as reconnaissance, sabotage, and counter-terrorism to achieve their military aims. Among the first special forces used in modern warfare were World War I's Italian Arditti and World War II's British Commandos; notable special ops in current use include American Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and Delta Force. This episode of the WAR ZONE series delves into the secret history of these and other special forces through voiceover narration and graphic archival footage that some viewers may find disturbing.
