The Gorgor Commandos (Somali: Ciidamada Kumaandooska Gor-gor Gorgor, "Eagle") is a specialized and highly trained commando force within the Somali Armed Forces. This elite unit has conducted swift and successive land raids, reclaiming territories previously under the control of Somali Al-Qaeda-linked insurgents, Al-Shabaab. [1]
In 2018, Somalia took a significant leap forward in bolstering its security capabilities with the establishment of the Gorgor Commandos—an elite force designed to address ongoing threats, especially from militant groups like al-Shabaab. This strategic initiative aimed at enhancing the overall security landscape of the nation.
The Gorgor Unit was established at Camp Turksom, in the administrative region ( gobol) of Benadir in southeastern Somalia. The training of the first Gorgor Unit began in mid 2018 and they finished their training in April 2019. A graduation ceremony attended by top officials from both countries was held for the 1st infantry battalion. [2][ failed verification]
The formation of the Gorgor Commandos was initiated through a transformative training program led by Turkish military instructors. [3][ failed verification] Conducted in Turkey, and Somalia this comprehensive training aimed to equip the commandos with a diverse skill set tailored for modern military operations, covering urban and rural warfare, guerrilla tactics, and counterinsurgency strategies. [4] [5][ failed verification]
Over the subsequent years, the Gorgor Commandos, influenced by their Turkish training, evolved into a formidable force in operations against insurgent groups. Their effectiveness was demonstrated through targeted strikes and operations that significantly weakened al-Shabaab, illustrating the impact of international collaboration in strengthening Somalia's security. The Gorgor Commandos stand as a symbol of Somalia's commitment to building a highly skilled and adaptable force capable of navigating the complexities of modern conflict. [6]
