WIKI say they are the best anti guerrilla unit on earth, wonder how is ours compare to them? 

true that..wonder what kind of training those insurgents have for them to able to fight as equal to the commandos?

Best in the world based on some hyped up propaganda and wikipedia? Please kill me now.

The Scout Rangers, known officially as the First Scout Ranger Regiment, is a Philippine Army Special Operations Command unit, and specializes in anti-guerrilla warfare. The regiment has been boasted as one of the world's best anti-guerrilla fighters

WIKI say they are the best anti guerrilla unit on earth, wonder how is ours compare to them? 

during the 70s and 80s, our soldiers was considered among the best in jungle warfare. The reason is very simple. At that time, we face an active insurgency. Even the Wataniah at that time was a highly experience soldiers. There's no substitute to real combat experience in shaping a soldier. There's nothing like a real threat of death to push a person beyond their limit.

after watching multiple spec ops training TV documentaries, i think i can say that the toughest spec ops are among those from Asia's nations..and the most hardcore of them all are among the South East Asia nations' spec ops.. 

and btw, is it true that pinoy actually send their spec ops's trainees on an actual combat mission against insurgents as a final test for the recruits to passed before they are approved as part of the particular spec ops unit?   

edited: i found out which spec ops unit is that..Phillipine's Scout Rangers..good lord, they actually send them to actual combat before their graduation ceremony.. 

Slain soldiers in Sulu were on test mission



ZAMBOANGA CITY—“We still haven’t learned our lessons,” retired Col. Ariel Querubin, a former superintendent of the Philippine Marine Corps Training Center, said of the killings of seven Marines in a clash with Abu Sayyaf bandits in Patikul, Sulu, on Saturday.

“They were on a test mission, these were students, they may be the best considering they were with the Recon (reconnaissance team), they belonged to the Marines’ elite team but the doctrine of the Recon is basically just to go out there to gather data and they are not there to engage their enemies,” Querubin said Sunday in a phone interview.

Around 20 soldiers on two teams of the Force Reconnaissance Battalion were sent to Tugas, a hilly jungle in Patikul, for the purported test mission that led to the incident in which seven Abu Sayyaf bandits were also killed.

Though this "test" mission is more like recon only, sometimes they got unlucky too, ambushed and whatnot.. every year got casualties

Last year.. rip

what I heard is that our SpecOps trainees had to 'capture' police station as one of their final test...when they 'captured' the police station, then they will rang the district police officer to come down and signed the acknowledgement papers that they had successfully 'captured' the police station..
