Mission Brief
Who Dares Wins — the regiment that defined modern special operations.
22 SAS Regiment is the world's most influential and widely imitated special forces unit, having essentially invented the modern template of counter-terrorism and hostage rescue operations. Founded in North Africa in 1941 by David Stirling, the SAS spent the Cold War developing the counter-terrorism skills that became globally famous on May 5, 1980 when Operation Nimrod — the Iranian Embassy siege rescue — was broadcast live on television to a stunned world.
In the decades since, 22 SAS has deployed to the Falklands, Northern Ireland, the Gulf War, Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, adapting its skills to every threat environment while maintaining the standards established by Stirling and the regiment's earliest operators. The SAS selection process — one of the most brutal in the world — ensures that only the most capable and determined soldiers wear the sandy beret.
For SAS enthusiasts and British special forces collectors aged 12 and up.
