Paskhas used to be like airborne rangers and paracommandos but are not used for C-SAR, G-FAC and CT work as well as a wartime role to attack enemy airbases and the rescue their own bases. They are members of the Indonesian air force. They carry SS-V rifles, FN-Minimi and FN-MAG machine guns and have modern helmets and vests.

Brimob are the mobile police and used to actually be a part of the military (until late 1990s). The unit actually had an Airborne Ranger Regiment in the late 1950s and they were issued with AR-15s in the ealry 1960s. They were probably the first in the world to use the AR-15 in action. The Airborne Regiment was disbanded during the 1980s to streamline the military. Field units use the AK-101, SS-V, M-16A1 and F-88 (AUG) while the new Det-81 uses the M-4A1.

Paskal are Malaysian naval commandos. Becuase they also guard oil platforms they get paid by the private sector and have good gear.

The Scout Ranger Regiment are the Philippines best COIN soldiers. Well trained and equipped they have been in action every year since they were formed (other then the few years they got disbanned for because of a couple coups ). During the 1980s they became famous and then infamous for taking part in several coups on the government. They use M-16A1/M-16A2s, Ultimax-100s, FN-Minimis, M-14s, M-60/M-60E3s and Galil Sniper Rifles. A wide mix of weapons to do their work.
