Hello and thank very much for this initiative, I've registered to the forum Just to try to help a little, On Tiguentourine Operation, the force involved was a joint task force of three origins (combined forces is almost a rule in the Algerian methodology): GIS (Groupe d'intervention special) which is basically the Algerian Intelligence special Force, these guys are almost totally invisible on media. DSI (Detachment Spécial d'intervention) which is very close to be like French GIGN. and an elite group from Algerian Paratroopers that are commonly called special forces in Algeria. the very much "special forces" are those of GIS and unfortunately there isn't enough material to learn about them. Algerian Special Forces were born during the Algerian struggle for independence between 1954 and 1962.
