Is the SAS boat troop like the Navy Seals?

Question

I would like to know if the boot troop in the SAS is like the seals and if not are the SBS like the seals more than the SAS.

Answer 1

Well they are all pretty much the same as well as the U.S.Army's Delta Force and Germany's GSG9. I would say though that the Royal Marine SBS is probably closer to the SEALS.

Answer 2

The British SAS and SBS are the model upon which American Special Forces were patterned.

Answer 3

Special Boat Squadron is a unit drawn from the Royal Marines. So, the closest U.S. equivalent would be a Marine Force Reconnaissance Company.
