The Antarctica Special Air Service Regiment, abbreviated as AQSAS, was formed on 18 March 1956 and is the special forces unit of the Antarctican Army, closely modelled on the British Special Air Service (SAS). It traces its origins to the Second World War and the famous Long Range Desert Group that Antarcticans served with.
Tracing its roots to the Lucis Commandos Widely considered to be most elite formation in Eordis, the SAS is the oldest-serving special force since 1939. Having served in over 7 conflicts. Many Commonwealth countries have numerously employed the SAS in certain operations that were often the harshest for a regular soldier.
Other countries have also adopted the SAS in their respective militaries. These were:
- New Akiba Special Air Service
