AN elite Special Forces branch made up of killer spies who carry out James Bond-style hits is one of the most secretive units in Britain.Very little is known about the unit and the Government has refused to admit it even exists.Buried deep in a spreadsheet of 1,200 soldiers’ names, trades and military units was a single reference to “22 SAS E SQN”.
Although The Increment is technically a Special Forces unit within the SAS, it also takes on tasks directly from UK’s intelligence agencies, likeThe elite members are thought to wear plain clothes with access to all sorts of false documentation to help with their operations.The combat slogan is normally credited to the founder of the SAS, Sir David Stirling.

He said the unit was “the closest to what James Bond does” of any British secret service. But almost 30 years after he left, he said his work was still too secret to reveal.

Give them a gun, they wouldn’t know what to do with it.The places where they often have to work, using civilian cover identities, make it impossible to be armed. But just like Bond, the troops are all trained in deadly hand-to-hand combat.
