SBS/Special Boat Service 

 

 The Special Boat Service (SBS) is a naval special forces group. They are a branch of Great Britain's Royal Marines; and are
considered one of the best naval special forces teams in the world. There is a minimum requirement of two years service in
the Royal Marines before being eligable for SBS service.
 Like many other teams, the SBS are proficient at demolitions, diving, and parachuting; unlike other teams, much of the above is done with the two-man Klepper canoe (one of the training events is a timed five mile run with a disassembled canoe, with
each operator carrying about a 60 pound load).
 The SBS are organized into at least three groups; C, M, and S Squadron. C Squadron is responsible for swimmer/canoe
operations. M Squadron is the antiterrorist and shipboard operations. Within M Squadron is the small Black Group--the counter-terrorist team that uses heliborne assaults. S Squadron specializes in small water borne craft and minibsub insertions and operations.

mostly depending on the mission and squadron one is in, the H&K MP5 family is used often and different versions are assigned for different missions, (but don't be too resricting GM's let the players have some freedom), assault riflea also issued (typically an M16, but te SAS like other Spec Ops units tend to use the weapons in use in thier AO (if the weapon is satisfactory) as not to draw attention to themselves), sidearm (usually a revolver, 9mm or old .45) medium weight kevlar vest, H-harness, utility belt, combat boots, swimming fins, one and a half weeks worth of rations, survival knife, compass, gas mask and air filter, mag-lite flashlight, 4 clips for each weapon, canteen, uniform, dress uniform.
