L Detachment - SASL Detachment (previously known as R Squadron) is a territorial (reserves) unit directly attached to 22 SAS. It is made up of 22 SAS veterans and civlian volunteers. L Detachment's role is to augment 22 SAS, providing additonal manpower and casualty replacements, unlike 21 and 23 SAS who largely act as independant units with their own command structure. advertisement
Members of L Detachment (then R Squadron) were first sent into action during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. R Squadron troopers integrated with A and D Squadron Land Rover columns operating behind Iraqi lines. L Detachment volunteers go through the same selection process as their regular 22 SAS counterparts.
