Hello.

Can you identify the unit of the Pakistani service member in the picture if possible? He’s the guy with a red beret. Photo is taken at 1990s at Turkish Naval Forces SAT headquarters in the outskirts of Istanbul.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Special Service Group Navy most likely.

Red or shades of it are only worn by military police or medical corps.

The MP only recruits officers and troops over 5"10.

So is most likely that he's medical corps..

Not sure... About that camo though..


Woodland is only worn by special service group... Of all services (SSG, SSGN SSW).

However pal regulars have used the same camo in Bosnia,UN missions and perhaps LOC.
However old British styled camos were in service with several units.. Specifically muhajid battalions aka our reserve troops.

He could be SSG ... If it's a maroon beret... And the pic is enhanced or edited..


Recognising the man in question is difficult unless someone personally knows him.

Alot of SSG officers later join their parent units... After a minimum of 3 or so years...


Rest remain in SF... till they retire... And since it's a dog eat dog kinda corps.. Meaning very very few actually make it to get officers ranks... Accept that one lucky man who becomes their comdt.

I see it bro. Rest assured, the image is enhanced only for quality improvement purposes. The pic above is at least 20 or so years old. Also it is taken at SAT Headquarters. From left to right are:
Tunca Örses, a prominent civilian military historian; Ret. Staff Captain Ali Türkşen who is famous for his role during the Imia/Kardak Crisis at the Aegean Sea, He is now a famous public figure and a politician; the Pakistani officer; and lastly at tight, the second SAT operator of the picture.

Ali Türkşen, just to show how old the pic is :

But the publisher of the photo said that he's a Pakistani officer for sure. I asked this because, I suspect that Turkish-Pakistani SOF/SF relationship in regards to SAT, might have started with SSG instead of its likely counterpart, SSGN.

If they dont progress through ranks do they atleast get pay raises?? Or else how do they make ends meet???
