The Elite Forces of Malaysia (Malay: Pasukan Elit Malaysia) are specialised, highly trained units drawn from various branches of the Malaysian military, law enforcement, and government agencies. In Malaysia, the term Elite Forces serves as an umbrella term encompassing special forces, special operations units, specialised firefighting teams, and other uniquely trained groups within the uniformed services (Pasukan beruniform).[1][2][3]
To join these Elite Forces, regular personnel must undergo rigorous and specialised training to meet the demanding standards required. These units are distinguished by unique identifiers, including beret colours, shoulder flashes (tabs), unit patches, skill badges, and distinct uniforms, setting them apart from conventional units.
