Special forces should draw faces, and special police should wear masks. Do you know why?

The special forces and the special police are all elite soldiers selected from the whole army. They not only have strong fighting capacity, but also have a skill. When performing military tasks, they cooperated tacitly and had extraordinary skills. However, when performing tasks, special forces will draw faces, and special police will often wear masks. What's the purpose?

Why do special forces paint?

Oil painting pigments can help special forces better disguise themselves.

Special forces are different from special police. The main operational areas of special forces are overseas operations and border operations. The geographical landform of the combat area is endless, including mountains, jungles, snow, deserts, plains and islands. Before fighting, better concealment is very necessary. The oil paints on the faces of the special forces are very consistent with the starry camouflage uniforms they wear, which can help the faces to better "blend" into the surrounding environment, help confuse the enemy, and achieve better combat results when they are surprised. In addition to the concealment of naked eye observation, oil painting pigments can also offset the detection of some infrared instruments.

Many bases will install professional infrared detectors, which is why some snipers have been exposed before shooting, or have to move immediately after shooting. In the final analysis, modern science and technology are so developed that the paint on the special forces' faces must contain special chemical components, which can reduce the infrared rays emitted by the face and neck and help the special forces avoid the detection of some enemy instruments to the greatest extent.

Oil painting pigments can repel mosquitoes.

The operational environment of special forces is very bad, especially in the jungles of Southeast Asia. In addition to being alert to being discovered by the enemy, we should always worry about mosquitoes around us. Don't underestimate the harm of mosquitoes. According to global statistics, mosquitoes can spread more than 80 diseases, such as dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever and lymphatic filariasis.

Special forces have to wait in one place for a long time, especially snipers. They can't even move for hours or more. If they don't do mosquito repellent work, even if the special forces are professionally trained, it is difficult to maintain a high degree of concentration. Especially when the sniper is aiming at shooting, if he is distracted, the whole task will even fall short. To say the least, if the special forces are infected with some disease after being bitten by mosquitoes, it is also a troublesome thing. Therefore, the paint composition of the special forces contains special insect repellent chemicals, which is undoubtedly a great boon for the special forces.

Special (police)

Special police generally refers to special police, although it belongs to non-military departments, but it is a combat unit with anti-terrorism and confrontation with strong firepower criminals as its main task. Special police officers usually receive militarized and semi-militarized training. Four people form an attack group, responsible for the attack, and others are responsible for supporting, destroying and blocking tasks. For example, SDU and CTRU in Hong Kong are special police, and there are anti-terrorism units GSG-9 (Germany), LAPD (America) and Alpha Team (Russia) abroad.

Why do special police wear masks?

The mask hides the true identity of the swat.

You know, ordinary public security tasks are not enough to dispatch special police, but as long as special police are dispatched, it means that the task is extremely dangerous. Criminals are not only powerful in firepower, but also extremely vengeful and vicious in means.

Moreover, in the process of completing the task, the special police can avoid being remembered by gangsters by wearing masks. Otherwise, it is easy for the escaped gangsters to retaliate against the special police or the special police family. In addition, many media occasionally take the final picture of swat's mission. If swat's face appears in the public media, it will inevitably encounter some unnecessary troubles. In fact, many special police officers also play the role of undercover, and wearing masks can greatly reduce the impact on subsequent undercover tasks.

Black masks can scare the enemy.

Special police officers are mainly equipped with black tones, especially black masks. Psychologically speaking, black is "ruthless" and can shock the enemy to the greatest extent. After all, human's fear of black has been imprinted in the bones since ancient times. Imagine that if the mask of the special police was changed to pink, the gangsters' evil courage would be even more rampant.

Masks can protect the face.

The mask made by special police has the characteristics of fire prevention and flame retardant, which can effectively prevent gangsters from splashing flammable and corrosive solutions to prevent scratches. Moreover, there are two kinds of masks in summer and winter, which absorb sweat in summer and keep warm in winter, so that the swat team members can maintain a high degree of concentration. At the same time, special police officers wearing masks can also give themselves some psychological hints, such as increasing their sense of psychological security and suggesting that they are just messengers to solve criminals, which will have an impact on their combat effectiveness to some extent. After all, psychological activities are very important.

Another function of the mask is to fix the equipment worn, because the special police will keep in touch through the headset when performing the task. The mask can just fix the headset, reduce the possibility of the headset loosening and falling off, and invisibly make the special police play more stable.

Therefore, whether special forces paint or police wear hoods or masks, the primary role is to protect the safety of personnel, followed by different additional advantages; All this comes from the nature of tasks and needs, and this is the value of things.
