The crack army force, the Ranger Wing, snatched a bronze medal in Bonn, Germany yesterday at the end of a four-day competition for special units from 41 countries around the world.
The competition is a test of skills of special police and military units throughout the world and involves physical, mental, marksmanship and tactical skills.
Their tasks included hostage dramas, obstacle crossing, and water disciplines on the river Rhine.
The Rangers ended up as the leading military team in the event. They recorded one 3rd, four 4ths and never achieved less than 12th in any of the tests.
Other competitors included the GEO from Spain, GSG9 from Germany, GOE Portugal, NOCS Italy (2nd), Royal Dutch Marines, and from South Africa, Sweden and the winning team Cobra from Austria.
The competition has been held every four years since the early 1980s.

Does anyone know if the SAS, SEALS and Delta Force took part, and if so where they came in the results?
