The Squadron Group acts as a combat reconnaissance force, with the mission of infiltrating rebels' tribal population and guerrilla networks, pinpointing rebel groups and relaying vital information back to the conventional forces earmarked to carry out the actual attacks. Members of the Squadron Group are trained to operate in small under-cover, clandestine teams capable of working independently in the bush for periods of weeks or even months, and of passing themselves off as rebels.

Members of the Squadron Group are trained to operate in small under-cover, clandestine teams capable of working independently in the bush for periods of weeks or even months, and of passing themselves off as rebels. The Squadron Group are an entirely volunteer force. The person that the Suqadron needs of is a mix between the soldier who can work in a unit and a loner who can think and act on his own. Selection is rigorous, and even tougher than the other Special Operation Forces. When volunteers arrived at Camp Osprey, the Squadron Group's training camp, they are given a taste of the hardships they would have to endure. On reaching the base (25-kilometres run away from the drop-off point) they see only a few straw huts and the blackened embers of a dying fire. There is no food issued. The objective of the training at this point is to narrow the list of potential recruits by starving, exhausting and antagonizing them. This is successful, with about 60% of volunteers usually dropping out within the first two days of training. The selection course has a total duration of 20 days. From dawn to 7 am recruits are put through a strength-sapping fitness programme. After they have completed this, they train in basic combat skills. They are also required to traverse a particularly nasty assault course several times in the course of the training program. The course is designed to overcome their fear of heights. When darkness falls, they begin night training. In the first five days of the course, no food is issued, while for the rest of the period only rotten animals are allowed. At the end of training, they have to carry out an endurance march of 100 kilometres. Each volunteer is laden with 30 kilograms of rocks in his packs. These rocks are painted red, to ensure that they cannot not be discharged and replaced at the end. The final stage of this march is a speed march, and has to be completed in two-and-a-half hours. For those who survive these days there is a week of leave; they are then taken to a special camp for the dark phase of their training. At this camp, they learn to act and talk like the enemy. The base is built and set out as a genuine rebel camp, and the instructors are on hand to turn the recruits into fully-fledged members of the enemy groups. In this phase recruits are taught to break with habits such as shaving, rising at regular times, smoking and drinking and to adopt a guerrilla lifestyle. The recruits are in the field on patrol with the Squadron Group actual members only a week after the completion of their training.
