Berlin terror attack: Unleash the German Counter Terror unit Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK)

by ·

Berlin was rocked by tragedy yesterday, as a tractor trailer barreled through a crowded market full of Christmas shoppers.  Twelve have been confirmed dead with at least 48 more injured, and according to sources within the German intelligence community, the event is being investigated as an act of terrorism.

As a member of NATO, Germany has played an active role in the global war on terrorism since it began, and Germany’s most elite special forces operators, the Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK), have been on the front lines of Germany’s anti-terrorism efforts throughout.  Germany’s competitive selection process and extensive training regimen has crafted what many consider to be one of the premier special forces military organizations on the planet, engaging terrorist organizations the world over and playing a particularly active role in Afghanistan since 2001.

    I’m with you on that Thomas…I was a bit surprised to see that promoted here on SOFREP. A dangerous line to cross!! Merry Christmas..

    Agreed Jerry.
    You really have to be careful about having the military become your police force. They are kept separate for a reason, as the job you wish them to do is entirely different.
    If they are used internally, it needs to be done very carefully. Honestly, outside of a few situations, you don’t really need these types for that job. The equivalent of a SWAT team is going to be more than sufficient. The intel side is the more critical component here.
    Now sending these guys out to work internationally, taking down the influencers that lead to this sort of thing may be profitable. The problem is, we have been at that sort of thing for years and it seems to be a never ending game of wackamole.

    Every German state has a very effective SpezielEinsatzKommando (SEK) law enforcement organization as well as the HIGHLY REGARDED federal GSG9 as well as good intel organizations to support them. When allowed to do their jobs by their political masters they are among the best. Problem seems to be that the politicians are keeping them ineffective due to warm and fuzzy thinking..like, “we don’t want to offend our guests” kind of stupidity. Or so I hear.

    Funny that the driver didn’t stick around after the “accident”. Did they ever sort out that “accident” in Nice, France? (Facepalm) We may sound like we “love war”, but we certainly aren’t willfully blind.

    Ya wanna be careful “unleashing” military spec-ops in the world of civilian law enforcement…
