Two Special Air Service (SAS) operators were wounded by an IED during a recent clandestine operation inside Yemen.

The two SAS troopers are part of a joint U.S-U.K. special operations team conducting reconnaissance for ideal drop-zones in case the West decided to provide much-needed humanitarian aid to the challenged Yemenis. However, the SAS operators weren’t from the 22 SAS Regiment—the active duty unit—but rather from the 21 SAS, which is a Territorial Army unit.

    The 21st and 23rd SAS, is like the National Guard equivalent?

    Daniel,
    The best US equivalent I can think of are the two NG SF Groups (19th & 20th).
