Does anyone know the origin of Southwest Falcon of Chengdu Military Region Special Brigade?
At that time, influenced by the special operations of the US military in the Vietnam War and China's experience in using scouts and spies in the self-defense counterattack on the Sino-Vietnamese border to meet the needs of the new war, the first special forces were established at that time. At that time, the establishment was a brigade with three detachments, and the task of forming special forces was drawn from the frontline scouts in Yunnan and Guangxi at that time. At that time, the newly formed special brigade participated in all the battles against Vietnam's self-defense counterattack. Built in real combat. After the war, the CMC should consider actual combat and strategy, and ask the military regions to set up special forces at that time, and form a separate army under the direct command of the CMC, and the special forces of each army should be under the command of the special brigade. So the special forces in Chengdu were established. The name "Falcon" was named by a leader in the war according to the fiercest local raptor at that time.
