Saberin Unit

It is considered one of the best Takavar units in the Iranian Armed Forces, with decades of military and combat experience both at home and especially in overseas operations in neighboring countries.

Thus, the unit places two essential requirements among its fighters to possess: First, faith, extreme loyalty, and ideological commitment to the Islamic Republic, and second, rigorous technical knowledge and combat skills on the battlefield.

Some Saberin personnel use ultralight aircraft and are capable of conducting operations in any kind of terrain and environmental conditions, including mountains, deserts, and swamps.

The Department of Defense's 2010 Military Power of Iran report:[5] "Each Provincial Corps in the IRGCGF possesses a unit, called Saberin, which has special operations capabilities.

These units rotate to the northwest to perform counter-insurgency against Kurdish PJAK and to the southeast to operate against Jundallah, and recently have been directly involved in other conflicts of the region, such as Syria."
