Portuguese Special Operations Troops
Portuguese Special Operations Troops are elite military units trained for difficult and dangerous missions such as counter-terrorism, reconnaissance, and hostage rescue. They operate under the Portuguese Armed Forces, primarily the Portuguese Navy and Army, and are selected for their advanced skills, physical fitness, and mental resilience. These units conduct covert operations both within Portugal and internationally, often involving specialized tactics, weapons, and equipment. Their goal is to ensure national security and support broader military objectives through highly trained, discreet, and strategic action when conventional forces are insufficient.
