MERSING, Aug 1 (Bernama) -- The role of the Special Service Regiment is becoming increasingly critical and challenging as it confronts complex security threats, including a growing range of non-traditional dangers.
Commander of the 21st Special Service Group (GGK), Major General Ahmad Shuhaimi Mat Wajab, said modern warfare is no longer confined to armed conflict but now extends to information, cyber, biological and psychological domains.
“The ability to conduct strategic intelligence operations, infiltrate enemy territory undetected, train guerrilla forces and carry out direct action missions are among the capabilities the 21 GGK must continue to uphold.
“However, emerging threats such as hybrid and asymmetric warfare demand rapid, stealthy, and effective responses. This is the true strength of the regiment. One that must be maintained, developed, and enhanced through regular, effective training,” he said.
Ahmad Shuhaimi was speaking at the diamond jubilee celebration marking the 60th anniversary of the Special Service Regiment at the 21 GGK headquarters parade ground in Kem Iskandar today.
Also present were the Chief of General Staff of the 21 GGK Headquarters, Brigadier General Samsyawal Muhamad, and Chief of Service Staff, Brigadier General Mohd Musyadi Abdul Mutalib.
Ahmad Shuhaimi said the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous nature of today’s geopolitical security landscape requires the Special Service Regiment to adapt swiftly and remain on constant alert against dynamic threats, whether conventional, unconventional or hybrid.
“As such, we are actively conducting studies and implementing measures to strengthen organisational structure, develop operational doctrines, acquire high-tech assets, build modern training facilities and expand joint training with both local and international special forces.
“All these efforts ensure the regiment is not only reactive but also proactive in safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty,” he said.
