Since we do not have special forces, The Praetorian Guard are the nearest to an advanced unit we possess.
In order to become a Praetorian Guard, one must serve two years in the regular Legion and undergo a harsh selection process which weeds out the weak of heart, body and mind. After 14 weeks of training, the men and women who pass become Guards and are awarded the symbolic red beret.
Tactically, they are marines, stationed throughout the Patrian Fleet for rapid deployment and QRF duties, but must also be SCUBA and parachute trained. This means that they can be deployed by nearly any method at a moment's notice, clamping down on and holding objectives before the regular Legion can arrive. The Guards are often called upon to the lead the speartip of an offensive, smashing weak points in enemy lines and destroying key tactical objectives.
