The British Special Air ServiceIn July 1941, David Stirling, then a junior officer with the Scots Guards, tricked his way into the middle east headquarters and eventually made it to the office of Major General Neil Ritchie, the then Deputy Chief of Staff. Stirling put forward his plan to destroy Axis aircraft in the western desert while they were still on the ground. This was to be achieved by a small group of hand picked men, who were to parachute behind enemy lines before the next Allied offensive. General Ritchie approved Stirling's plan and gave permission for him to raise his small force of hand picked men. The name of the new force was to be L Detachment, The Special Air Service Brigade. The "Brigade" part of the name was a ploy, to trick the Axis forces into believing that the Allies had a parachute formation at large in the middle east. The SAS has set the standards for other special forces in many fields. History has proven that the SAS is swift, versatile and damned effective. In the world of special forces one name stands out above all others the UK`s SPECIAL AIR SERVICE. From the second world war, to the storming of the Iranian embassy and then the Gulf war, Afghanistan and now Iraq, the SAS has been involved in countless other operations that little or nothing is known about.
Our History-Established 2001- We are a Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142 and Call of Duty 4 clan and also honor the Ghost Recon series because it was our founding game. We are a clan where fun, friendship and loyalty are paramount. Gaming skill takes second place. In December 2001 when Ghost Recon was launched I was so impressed by the game I wanted to start my own UK clan called Shoot to Kill. Then I met a chap called Smith in a Ghost Recon forum. He told me he had started a clan and would like me to join. The 22nd Special Air Service UK Gaming Clan was born consisting only of Smith, Logun, me and LocknLoad. As time went on the clan grew to a full squad and we started competing in Ghost Recon on Clan Base and earned ourselves a lot of respect with the Ghost Recon community and with UK Ghost Recon clans. Smith kind of disappeared so Logun took command of the clan but unfortunately Logun left too after a year of commanding the clan. I had also had some personal troubles too and things did start to look rocky for us but I could never give up on the members and with a request from Beaker to lead the clan, I took command. I have been in command for over 4 years now and am proud to take the clan into the gaming communities and compete. RSM Mazing
LeaguesWe have participated in different leagues through out our history but have maintained standing in one league only,The Definitive League. We have found that this is a league of gentlemen and by far outclasses all others that we have been in. We currently play competitive matches for BF2 and COD4 in the league and also host a flurry of friendlies in all games that we play. RecruitmentWe are currently recruiting 18+ for GRAW2, BF2, BF2142 and COD4. We are primarily a UK based clan, but have made exceptions in the past for some recruits. Upon acceptance of an application all recruits will be placed on probation.During a member's probationary period, their rank will be Recruit. The probationary period usually last three months, and at the end of the time, the SSM's decide whether or not to make you a Private based on overall activity in the clan. Activity consists of hours spent gaming, on Ventrillo and also post within the forums. Upon selection we require all members to make a subscribtion to the clan for as little as £3 a month. If you are interested in becoming a member please click here MembersWe currently have around 82 members in the clan. It has grown from 9 in the last two years and feels more like a gaming community rather than a clan. Along with the games we sponsor, we also have several other games such as PRO EVO that the members arrange tournaments for in order to break up the pace a bit. We also like to attend lan parties such as the i-series events, sponsored by Multiplay. We have a rank structure within the clan that has proven to help all levels of players.
