The Lebanese Special Forces are the elite of the Lebanese Armed Forces. Those who enroll are subjected to rigorous training regimes and must be in peak physical and mental condition prior to their ascension to such a highly desired position. Each branch of the Armed Forces maintains its own form of Special Forces or Commandos. These include:
* [[Lebanese Commando Regiment|Commando Regiment]] (Also known as the [[Maghaweer]])
* Lebanese Airborne Regiment - Moujawkal
* [[Marine Commandos]]
* Lebanese counter-terrorism and sabotage unit (Moukafaha)
* Panthers (part of the [[Internal Security Force]], i.e. police)

In 2008, the Lebanese Armed Forces started establishing the [[Lebanese Special Operations Command]] in order to group the LAF's elite units. These special operations forces will include the Airborne Regiment, the Rangers Regiment, the Navy Commandos Regiment, and the Counter-Sabotage Regiment of the Military Intelligence. The initial size of the force will be less than two brigades, around 5,000 troops, but the plan is to enlarge it up to three brigades.<ref>{{Cite news
