When Kenya’s forces define what patriotism is, then the Kenya Special Forces comes to one’s mind. These are the men who risk their lives beyond what the ordinary patriotic man would do for their country.
Kenya’s special force rarely comes to the lime light but when they do, they are a force to reckon with. Their presence was first felt by most Kenyans when the men first landed foot in Kismayo, Somalia during the Somali operation. Since then, they have been known to be the trend setters in the defence forces.
Sources say these troops are far much better in what they do, compared to Kenya’s RECCE Squad.
The might and swiftness in the Special Forces unit operations does not come easy. The training to combat terrorism and criminals in their conventional operation is quite detailed and vigorous as compared to the “usual” military training and operation.
The manner in which they conduct hostage rescue missions, raids, reconnaissance surveillance, anti-terrorism, intelligence collection makes Kenya’s troop stand out as the only unit in Africa able and privileged to use the fn herstal scar cal rifle.
The Special Force commandos missions are often a top secret for Kenya. Being among the best equipped soldiers, the group has voluntarily come together to fiercely defend the country.
Their operations are usually swift, having been briefed of the situation on the ground. In some cases, they are never briefed but deployed to act. Their entourage to the scene goes unnoticed but their presence is felt within minutes of the rescue mission. Some briefing take quite a short time but the boys who are recruited from Kenya Navy, Kenya Air Force and Kenya Army have learnt the art of accuracy in all their operations.
Their willingness to protect the country despite the fast evolving war fare however does not come easy. The troops are privileged to train overseas then come back skilled, well informed and ready to serve.
Little is known to the public about the grueling training these elite forces undergo.An average person is said to be unable to sustain the training.
Their number is also a mystery for the sake of Kenya’s security. They are however trained to effectively get results within the shortest time with minimum or no casualty at all.
Military propaganda at its best! I won’t add more
Great
They are a bunch of charcoal sellers and looters like the resy. If they can combat terrorism, why were they not deployed at garissa to say the least. to me RECCE counts,,,,special force……my foooooot.
A big up guys but we should not be calling these guys too often. Normal police squads created ought to deal with this ruthlessly. State’s top secret for specific assignments…
God Bless Kenya…God Bless KDF….The professionals completes assigned task without making it public,you Kill a Rat in your bedroom and you want your neighbours to celebrate you…For killing a RAT?
The guys are stationed at 20th Parachute battalion and are specifically known as the D company. They train with and are trained by the Navy Seals among others.
True but see into it that it doesn’t become apropaganda media creation to champion the RECCE VS KDF superiority ranking struggle.
Itonga I’m not a civilian.. So ask another question sir.
Recce is sophisticated.. They once captured a military camp with men inside…
I do have faith in you guys in foreign incursions but do something to restore your image in the local front
Let’s feel you in our country not just in other countries
Much respect

The average Wanjiku needs to hear they saved lived in Garissa within minutes of the attack, sio ma theory pekee
great guys..
I love KDF i love the special forces, good work in operation sledge hammer, but eeeer am yet to totally vouch for them, especially on homeland missions that we know of. i think they need more breaching equipment/resouces for CQB in demolishing doors walls and flash bangs , ballistic shields and that sort of thing
God bless KDF God bless kenya
