Sepak Terjang British SAS Pada Perang RI - Malaysia


British SAS is an elite British soldiers. That said, staying digadang SAS as the world's best elite troops, defeated Shayetet 13 (Israel) and Navy Seals (U.S.).
SAS has existed since World War II and had undergone a variety of missions in various countries, including the machinations involved in the border between the Republic of Indonesia - Malaysia. How SAS lunge in the conflict? Please be listened to.
When the North Kalimantan National Army launched a rebellion over the sultanate of Brunei on December 8, 1962, Confrontation with Indonesia began. End of December 1962, British forces to the region of Borneo was founded and within a few days Lieutenant Colonel John Woodhouse, Squadron 22 SAS (British SAS), and a set of radio signal sender latest Morse arrived in Borneo, which is the only reliable method of communication in forest operations . Three days after the visit Woodhouse, SAS Squadron 22 'A' is placed into Borneo.
Although the amount is less than 100 people, Squadron 'A' is placed along the border between Sarawak and Sabah Borneo which stretches 1,500 km. British SAS assisted by local tribesmen, SAS is divided into four teams to oversee the vast areas of forest and make tracking the signs of activity by Indonesian forces and the condition of the forest itself to put a halt to rapid movement of Indonesian forces which ultimately enables the helicopter ambush troop reinforcements Indonesia.


Most of the tribe of Malaysia felt 'uncomfortable' with the arrival of white people (Europeans) in fairly large quantities. SAS must build up their confidence. Each team is located in the largest villages in each region and set up a hideout nearby guard to monitor the movements through the village. They will introduce themselves, after the tribe received their arrival, then the SAS 'pay' their respects to the village head. The soldiers received food and service from local tribes before retreating to hide themselves. In every patrol there is always a medical assistance provided to local villages in order to build mutual trust. Once awakened a sense of mutual trust, the patrol moved to the edge of the village and will help the villagers in their daily tasks when they are not in intelligence work.
After everything goes according to plan, patrols will spread the word threat (from Indonesian troops) along the southern border. It is applied to form the opinion that SAS cares about them. SAS is the Good Guy, And Indonesian Troopers is The Bad Guy. If the chiefs are not impressed by this way, SAS will lure residents of the village form of protection when it comes to ambush troops Indonesia. They were asked to cut down trees as a gesture and helicopter patrols will request assistance under the unity-Ghurkhas-who will soon arrive to the location of the source signal.
When Indonesian troops launched a major offensive against the first for Sarawak police post at Tebedu, Squadron 'A' has stood firmly in the villages, but SAS is not in a position to block the withdrawal of Indonesian forces.
In mid-May, the Squadron 'D' Squadron replaces the 'A' in the villages and continue the campaign captured the hearts and minds of local residents, spread the word threat from the south of the border (Indonesia) and erode support for Indonesia among the tribes.
There are too many tribes who moved to a safer settlement of the conflict, so that some young men from each village volunteered to be trained to use firearms and defensive tactics. British soldier who supplied guns, ammunition and local forces is known as the Border Scouts (Scouts Border). After three weeks of training, they return to their home areas led by a small team of Gurkha. Border Scout is not too well trained as combat troops, but ideal as a tracer and a courier rather than being a soldier.
When the conflict in Borneo increasingly heated, accelerated selection in Hereford. Squadron 'B' has been formed and began operations in January 1964.
After the attacks into the territory Kalabakan Indonesia, the Indonesian Army began to engage in open warfare. When that happens, Squadron 'B' and 'D' is enough power to conduct cross-border attacks into Borneo. The first patrol normal British Army uniforms and carrying weapons Self-Loading Rifles standards so that claims can be filed if the missing soldiers found army patrol.
SAS then returned to their special weapon is a rifle ArmaLite. SAS has a specific task - guiding forces routinely patrol at long distance cross-border operations. Long-distance patrols were assigned to find a supply line Indonesian troops, base camp and find out a suitable ambush position. These patrols usually lasted for three weeks with all the equipment carried, and equipment is reduced when the patrol to penetrate even further to allow for rapid movement. Supplies decreased to reach just 7kg per person based on the ratio of dehydration in the pack containing a bottle of water, survival kits and ammunition. Everything is stored in the belt.
The patrol unit has only less than a week at the end of each patrol to recover due to lack of patrol, and at the end of their patrol usually flown back to Hereford for a break of several weeks. The soldiers are limited to shooting the victim in order to maintain a minimum as a helicopter evacuation is not possible on the territory of Indonesia.
Cross-border operations are under the control of the British infantry units began in June 1964, hosted by SAS troops and the mission remains a secret for a long time because of political sensitivity given the UK puts troops into a country that is technically not at war with Britain. This operation is called Operation Claret.
In April 1965, Indonesia launched a major attack on the British headquarters of two of the Company in Plaman mapu. Then the British counterattacked across the border through his Ghurkha troops and battalions of the British Army.
In the book 'Classic Small Wars' quoted an overwhelmed Indonesian troops in combat, but there is courage that deserves proud of. If, perhaps, other troops when ambushed going headlong retreat and seek refuge, but the troops Indonesia welcomes the fact that even advanced ambush.(ESW)
