The NZ SAS is New Zealand's elite armed force. Very little detail concerning their activities and deployments is made public.

Given the caliber of our granny-shooting no knock entry teams, and our politicians, I wish they’d try this here.

Andy McNab’s book about his training in England’s SAS mentioned this. I wanna say the queen even served as a “hostage” in one of the training exercises, but it’s been a few years since I read the book.

Awesome training tactic, IMO.

McNab also mentioned that in one of the training demos being monitored at a distance by a VIP party, some joker deliberatly dropped a uniformed/geared dummy from a helo-to-rooftop rappel. That would have been pretty funny as long as you’re in on the joke. :o)

Reminds me of the old joke where the commando says, “The damn gun had blanks in it, so I had to beat him to death with it.”

The Brit SAS does the same thing, but the PM is in the room.
