 The composition of a regiment SAS, which was similar in strength to a large infantry battalion, was in theory about 600 men.These were divided into one command company (squadron) composed of a section (troops) of transmission with a 12 team radio, one support section, one protection section and services, one motorized company with four platoons of 4 jeeps, and three combat companies each with a command section and two combat sections with four groups.The encadrement rate of the unit was twice as superior as that of a regular battalion.
