RHODESIAN SPECIAL AIR SERVICE
The Rhodesian Special Air Service or Rhodesian SAS was a Rhodesian special forces unit. It comprised:
  • C Squadron, Special Air Service Regiment (Malayan Emergency (1951–1953)
  • "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service (1961–1978)
  • 1 (Rhodesian) Special Air Service Regiment (1978–1980)
C Squadron, Special Air Service Regiment was formed during the Malayan Emergency by volunteers from Rhodesia. It was disbanded in 1953 and became the nucleus of "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service, operational from 1961. In June 1978 "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service became 1 (Rhodesian) Special Air Service Regiment until Rhodesia became Zimbabwe in 1980.
