Republic of Korea Army Special Warfare Command (ROKASWC), (Korean: 대한민국 육군 특수전사령부) also known as Republic of Korea Black Beret Commandos is the military command of the Republic of Korea Army responsible for their special operation forces. It consists of 6 brigades, and its main tasks include conducting reconnaissance and other tasks, mostly behind enemy lines. Its tasks include but not limited to collecting secret information in enemy territory, spotting ROK military firepower, and carrying out other designated tasks. The Special Warfare Command brigades are trained for wartime missions behind enemy lines. Although information on the organisation of these units was unavailable in 1990, they probably were among the best-trained and most combat-ready forces in the army. Since 1993, the South Korean military has trained experts by sending officers to various PKO training institutions such as the Northern Europe United Nations Training Corps (UNTC), Poland, and Ireland. And since 1995, officers and related government officials have been sent to the Pearson Peacekeeping Centre (PPC) in Canada. To lay the foundation for PKO education domestically, in 1995 the military designated the Joint Services Staff College to be the lead institution to educate officers to become military observers and staff. In May 1998, the PKO Department was officially inaugurated within the college. Moreover, the Special Warfare Command's Education Corps was designated as the institution solely responsible for unit-level education of PKO forces by providing solid education for infantry and engineer personnel. The command includes seven special warfare brigades that receive special training for counter-terrorist missions. These seven brigades were funded in 1957 and fall under the jurisdiction of the Special Warfare Command, which was founded in 1969. ROK special forces brigade’s main tasks include collecting information in enemy territory and carrying out special missions. ROK Special Forces brigades work in close relationship with their counterparts in the Army Special Forces. Volunteers for these brigades undergo training in high skilled weapon handling and parachuting. Units of the command include: • Special Warfare Training Group • 1st Special Forces Brigade (Airborne) 'Eagle' • 3rd Special Forces Brigade (Airborne) 'Flying Tiger' • 7th Special Forces Brigade (Airborne) 'Pegasus' • 9th Special Forces Brigade (Airborne) 'Ghost' • 11th Special Forces Brigade (Airborne) 'Golden Bat' • 13th Special Forces Brigade (Airborne) 'Black Panther' • Oversea deployment Group ( Formerly 5th Special Mission Group ) • 707th Special Mission Battalion 'White Tiger'
