Meet the Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Forces or NLMARSOF, which are their Marine Corps elite unites. From mountain warfare to submarine, snowmobiles and parachute, this special unit trains for every situation and environment. They’re able to be deployed to any location on the planet within just 48 hours! Oh and their motto…Qua Patet Orbis. That means, “As Far As The World Extends.” Makes sense.

Next up, the Norwegian Special Operations Command’s maritime and naval special warfare unit known as the MJK. Back in 1953, they established this special unit to be employed for a wide range of operations. The MJK is trained for the following: special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism missions, direction action, arctic warfare, swampland warfare and hostage recovery. So basically any and everything. As you can imagine, the training and selection process is relentless. Once about 8 men of the original 200 remain, they have to carry a 130 lb while being pursued by an enemy force. That’s not all! During this test once they get captured they must go through about 36 hours of tactical questioning.
