Unsourced, confused article. SABF is referred to exactly once on the Sri Lanka Air Force's own (quite detailed) web site. SABF appears to be a course that Air Force soldiers can take. SABF is not mentioned on
Sri Lanka Air Force or any of its sub-pages. Delete unless it can be sourced with coverage from reliable sources. –

Weak Keep. I believe we generally keep top-level commando units - even if they are small units. In this case this unit is the top-level airborne force (the air-force also has a
Sri Lanka Air Force Regiment (and
Sri Lanka Air Force Regiment Special Force) which focus on air-base defense) - which is tasked with VIP / counter-terror / covert ops. Sources do exist, e.g. -
[1][2][3]. (+ seems there is coverage every time a training course is completed - often in conjunction with other units).

Keep. With the sources and information identified by Icewhiz and bearing in mind
WP:CSB, I think there is enough here for an article that is suitable for Wikipedia. -

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Tendency towards a merge with
Sri Lanka Air Force. The shorter article is not too long for a merge to take place and it is currently labelled as an orphaned article.

Merge with
Sri Lanka Air Force, mostly due to the article's length. If it has been expanded further then we can have the standalone article again.
