Gotta be one of them (GROM is the most known worldwide). And to answer the OP: Every elite force has (must have) very harsh training regime and some pretty hardcore requirements and selection/induction methods. Some have pretty narrow specialization while others are all-around. There was a good TV show about different special forces across the globe. It was hosted by ex-SAS guy who trained with the units and then went on a mission with them. I remember that first episode was about polish BOA and he went on a mission to raid some gangster's house with them (not far from where I live).

It's probably not that big of a difference between different special forces. The best special forces are probably the best equipped forces. We probably never know who are best equipped if it is a known special forces organization or if it is an organization which succeeds to keep their organization secret. | ||

Also the US have a tendency to call a lot of their forces even though they are not recogniced by other special forces as "special", for example some of the SEAL teams. But to give a small insight in the "best" in my opinion, whisch is slight bias and the nature of the forces i have not enough knowledge on all the forces around the world, in no perticular order: - SAS and SBS, obviously - SEAL teams 1 5,6 10 and BUDS, known for a reason - Delta forces, also excellent soliders - Russian SpecOps, Still among the worlds best - Swedish and Norwegian Spec ops, little known worldwide but proved them selves as some of the world top forces in Operation Anaconda in Afghan - Gurkha - Israeli Spec ops, lots of combat experience and among the best in the world at what they do - JTF2 These are the ones that people know about the best teams are in secret forces not known to the public. | ||

They're famous by me.... due to counter-strike!!! Statistically i'd say Seals might have the edge because they have the largest population of soldiers to pick the very very best of. Though what i've heard about BOPE and Israeli shit is insanely scary too | ||

Thanks for that  I cant remember the names of the films ... but thee are some *awesome* films about what they get up to. although with a buildup like that they will probably let you down. anyway i watched them randomly and really enjoyed them. but they probably wont change your life ;p | ||

Many of the teams are not comparable to SAS but SEAL team 6 and BUDS for example are among worlds finest SpecOps. Do not think KSK is considered in the same league as SAS and Spetznaz mate. | ||

Yeah, right. They are also known for being one of the greatest crew of murderers of all democratic nation's security forces. http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/AMR19/025/2005/en/bb459966-d49c-11dd-8a23-d58a49c0d652/amr190252005en.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batalhão_de_Operações_Policiais_Especiais#Criticism http://www.extrajudicialexecutions.org/application/media/E_CN_4_2005_7_Add_1 2005.pdf But if "Elite" is about killing a lot of people, having action like in a video game and having "badass" uniforms with skulls and everything, yeah, they fit the description. Pity that for internet youth, "having balls of steal" and being a brutal murderer basically mean the same thing. | ||
