What is the SAR?
The Special Air Regiment (SAR) is the Special Operations branch of the Air Force Ground Command. They are split into two sub-branches, the Apache programme and the Air Force Battlegroup Protection Detail (AFBaG-PD). They specialise in exoatmospheric insertions and space diving, often deemed as more elite and effective than the Army Airborne, Marine Insertion Corps and, depending who you ask, the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
