Yup, spot on
Just to finish off the SASR structure;
4 SAS (Clandestine Action Squadron) - works with ASIS (Oz equivalent of the CIA)
-HQ troop
- A Troop
- B Troop
- Signals Troop
5 SAS (Army Reserve)
- HQ Troop
- A Troop (Ready Reserve)
- B Troop (General Reserve West)
- C Troop (General Reserve East)
- D Troop (Specialist Reserve)
- Signals Troop (Reserve)
1 SRS (Special Reconnaissance)
- HQ Troop
- x 4 Troops A-D (x 2 HUMINT Platoons & x 2 SIGINT Platoons each)
- E Troop (Reserve)
- F Troop (Technical Support)
As an addendum to the Sabre Squadrons. One company sized troop rotates thru to the Counter Terrorist role and becomes Tactical Assault Group West (TAG-West). This way, 2 platoons are on immediate response and 2 are on ready reserve at any one time. The Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing provides a small cadre of specialists who train, study techniques and doctrine and provide the specialist equipment when needed.
Tactical Assault Group - East is formed from the 2nd Commando Regiment and Specialist Divers from the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) provide Clearance Divers for the Offshore Assault capability (kind of like Navy SEALs but they're considered more Special Operations Capable than actual Special Operations,think of them like the Navy EOD's who deploy with the SEALs).
The 2nd Commando regiment are kind of like the Royal Marine Commandos but are regarded as Special Operations and not regular infantry.
