Other way around. None of these units have anything to gain by cross-training with NSG, unless asked by their brass to do so.
So from what I understand.
There are 2 types of Mil Contacts from the Americans:
1) State Department sends out a request to the Pentagon. the Pentagon sends it down to their Commands - each command then comes up with their strategy for building relations. (finds a counter party unit of their Target Country)
Every Unit (like the GBs) have an annual target and budget - its part of their KPI and part of their deployment rotation. - FID is NOT about GBs gaining anything. that comes in point 2.
IRONICALLY the GBs Choose NSG -
- but i guess from their perspective achieve 2 things - building relations with BOTH their Police and SF Officer counter parts.
- and since we classify NSG as SOF - GBs get to tick off their box.
2) Allied Cross Training for
Interoperability - These the One on One/Jt Nation Exercises
For training with GSG9/GIGN etc - I mean we are learning from the GBs - why cant the Govt Sign a MOU with the Euro CT/HRT units to train and upskill NSG ? not talking about peer to peer ex.
Saying we pay them to teach us.
