Sri Lankan Police Special Task Force (STF) Commando

The new force was presented during a tactical operations demonstration at a parade in Katukurunda in 28 December 2006. The 313 recruits finished their STF training at the training centre in Kalutara.
Citation from lrrp.wordpress.com :
“The nucleus of the STF the para-military arm of the country’s police force was formed in 1983, drawing on policemen already in service and having them trained by the Army in the handling of infantry weapons and given basic training in “jungle operations”, and who are deployed essentially for counter terrorist and counter insurgency operations within the country and also undertake close protection duties.”
