Takavar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Takavar is the term used for a type of Iranian special forces troops. The takavaran (plural of takavar) fall under the direct command of the regular Iranian Army (Artesh), while the Pasdaran have their own special forces called the Qods Force. They are directly comparable to the U.S. Army Special Forces ('Green Berets') of the United States through a near identical training and selection programme.
The Most Famous ones include: 1-Lashgare 58 Takavar Zolfaghar. 2-Tip 55 Havabord Shiraz. 3-Lashgare 23 Special Forces. 4-Tip 45 Takavar (Ahvaz). 5-Gorouh 99 Takavar Padafand Havaie (Tehran). 6-Yegan 04 Takavar Changal (Tehran). 7-Gorouhan Takavar Pasdar Setad Gharargah (Mini City - Tehran).
