Because growing conflicts around the world, Gilabad's military has decided to create a new special forces unit called the "Alpha Force". All personnel go through rigorous training. The training is so intense that only 10 out of 100 make it through each session. They are equipped with cutting edge technology and are trained to operate all types of vehicles and weapons. They go through survival training in all environments. They are experts in all fields of warefare. It's a top secret organization.

.....I'd like some advice about my new unit.....

As someone with one of the sickest special/black forces in NS I can offer these tidbits of advice. First and foremost, allow your SF to operate independent of military ROE and chain of command. Secondly, ensure they are up-to-date on the latest technology and weaponry and are all proficient. Third, while everyone has their specialty (communications, sniper, demolitions, espionage, etc.) make sure that everyone can do a limited portion of everyone's duty. Fourth, ensure that EVERYONE has medic training. And lastly, I guess, ensure that your forces are always the first to go so that they can assess the situation and ensure that they are behind enemy lines. Survival training is key, they need to operate behind enemy lines at length and with what resources they can muster from their surroundings. Make sure that they're not in dire need of supplies on a regular basis, unless of course they come into heavy fire or something other than just recon.

Taking Witzgall's course may help you out too. I recommend it, if yo can get in.

Layarteb I would suggest you look into making a purchase here (http://www.drugstore.com/templates/stdplist/default.asp?catid=24424&aid=333181&aparam=sespider&PLStart=15)
your troops will thank you for it ;)

10 of 100 eh? My blackest of the black numbers only 55 operatives. Just saying.

And I'd go with what that first guy said, what was his name, Layarteb.

I have my own piece o' advise. Train them to the point where they are confident enough to survive behind enemy lines for up to one month in a maximum of two man teams. I haven't gotten that yet, but you should always try.

My elite black ops unit are issued Chlorpromazine (Thorazine) (http://www.psyweb.com/Drughtm/chlor.html), an anti-psychosis drug, to counterbalance the effects of some "medical" proceedures done to them. Save the kiddie drugs for your guys.

ooc: lol was only kidding since you said your guys were the "sickest", those were anti-cold herbal supplements :p

Oh, thought it was a stab at an insult. Nevermind. Sorry.

OK but I'd like to know what you want me to buy from you. And about their training, all of them go through a rigorous physical excersize which only ones with good phsycological health can pass. (It's 5x harder than the U.S. Navy seal training.

hell, it's best to train them from the womb to be hardcore killers.
No psychological problems, other than the ones that you create.

I suggest sending your squad to Witzgall's Training Course, what I posted. It's not selective things that you buy, you're whole force or squad or whatever becomes mean SOBs.

Is it alright to send some of my "Alpha Force" troops to your training camp as an additional course. If so how much would that be.

1st Alpha Force Reg. 2,400 personnel.
I assure you that they are very highly trained and very elite.

All of my "Alpha Force" troops are experts in all fields. Recon, Sniper, Assault etc. They have to be perfect in score in order to pass each one. They are all trained in medicine. One of them put behind enemy lines could cause some major damage and disrupt an average size army and not even compromise his origin or himself to the enemy. Stick him in the capitol of North Korea and tell him to stay there for a year and trust me he'll get out alive and meanwhile causing major damage to their forces. Remember these guys are extremely elite.
