The Special Intervention Force, or SIF, also known as the 143rd Gendarmerie Regiment, is the Furbish Gendarmerie's elite tactical unit.

History

Missions

The SIF is mainly tasked with counterterrorism and hostage rescue, but can also execute high risk search and arrest warrants and protect certain sensitive individuals and locations. Since its foundation, the SIF has been involved in at least 6,000 missions. The details of most are classified, but notable ones include:

Structure

The SIF is divided into 16 platoons. The headquarters and logistics platoon has 50 gendarmes, responsible for administration, operational control, and supplying all platoons. The training platoon trains new members and retrains existing members. Both are based in Fort Hammond.

The other 14 platoons, known as the operational platoons, are based in the five Gendarmerie regions or two overseas brigades. One platoon is always kept on alert while the other is kept in reserve. Platoons are frequently rotated between posts. They have 30 members. All are trained in all tasks, but certain members specialize in the following:

  • Diving
  • Explosives
  • High altitude jumps
  • Lock picking
  • Reconnaissance
  • Snipers

Negotiators are also attached to platoons.
