Корея армиясының 707-ші арнайы миссиялық тобы

South Korean special forces unit

The 707th Special Mission Group (, Hanja: 第707特殊任務團) is an elite counter terrorism unit of the Republic of Korea Army Special Warfare Command.

On 5 February 1982, the unit suffered a devastating blow, when a Fairchild C 123J carrying 47 of its members, along with six Korean Air Force personnel, were killed in a crash while on approach to Jeju International Airport, Jeju, South Korea. It was the deadliest peacetime accident the Korean armed forces experienced since the Korean War, with the exception of another Air Force C 123 that crashed into Mt. Choenggye on 1 June 1982, killing 53, including 49 commandos and four air force personnel.

The recruitment process usually involves conscripts from different branches of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces who apply and try out to become members of the elite force. Others are handpicked by their superiors across the different branches of the military and try out like their applicant counterparts. The selection process is very rigorous. First applicants will undergo a background check and then undergo a 10 day procedure in which 90% are eliminated. All members of the 707th Group are SCUBA Diver or UDT/SEAL's and airborne qualified. It is reported that members frequently perform daily calisthenics in the snow and sub zero temperatures and will swim in freezing lakes without any thermal protection. 707th maintains close ties with similar units from around the globe, including Singapore's STAR group, the Australian Special Air Service Regiment and Hong Kong's Special Duties Unit (SDU) although the unit's closest ties are with the US Army's 1st Special Forces Group, Delta Force. The 707th Group also owns and operates a multi complex counter terrorism training site for the Republic of Korea Army Special Warfare Command and hosts multi national counter terrorist training.

The 707th SMG is known to be using the M2016 Special Warfare Command four colour desert digital pattern.
