I would advise you to go to the full PDF file at http://handle.dtic.mil/100.2/ADA350142 and read sentence to sentence the whole document. While the context is about assessment and selection there is alot of insight and comparison with the US equivalents. Are you also implying that the US Navy War College allows Post Graduate students tograduate with "bogus" research? Well, I don't think so. There are 4 US Navy Officers who supervise the thesis and are experts on the Turkish Armed Forces. |
I have read the whole thing. When someone here says "Refer to this doc. I download it, read it then comment on it. Lets look back shall we?
Quote:
The US Navy states that the Turkish Maroon Berets have the same training as their US equivalents and that they both have the "same capabilities".
See "ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION OF PERSONNEL FOR THE TURKISH SPECIAL FORCES COMMAND", by E Kenar, US NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA, NSN 7540-01-280-5500
Assessment and Selection of Personnel for the Turkish Special Forces Command

Now lets go to the document. 1st its not a US Navy assessment. Its a thesis from a Turkish Student at NPS. The US Navy does not "State that Turkish have the same training as US equivalents"
From pg 2 of the thesis.

The views expressed in this thesis are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the Department of Defense or the U.S. Government.
|
So do you have another document to back your claim?
Further on, In the authors words
Quote:
The study assumes a high degree of similarity between the United
States and the Turkish Special Forces in terms of organizational structure and mission statement.
|
Nothing about "same training as their US equivalents and that they both have the "same capabilities". In fact the paper isn't about the training but a comparison of selection process and how the Turkish Armed Forces can improve.

No stupid just gets you killed. From a former CQB Dynamic entry instructor/CQB range officer.
