SEAL 6 has come to an end this year with no casualties reported :bounce:

The SEAL course was started in 2001 after the experience gained by Egyptian personnel over multiple years in the US Navy BUD/S course. The course which is almost the same as that of the US occurs every year, all Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers serving in the armed forces may apply. Conscripts and Pvt.s may be selected in extraordinary circumstances. This course is usually a precursor to joining 'tier one' Egyptian Special Forces units.

@Frogman,
There is a good article on the EAF and the African Air Forces by the AFM magazine of this month.

Only for training :smart:

I have no idea why, its not like there's a lack of helmets or anything. Although the entire army is being reequipped.
