Err... Patrol based Infantry
So called Elite formations are usually based on a fitness test. Not military skills tests.
I submit if you can run 3,200m in 16 mins carrying a 22kg ruck sack, and then climb a 7m rope, with the 22kg ruck, you are fit enough for purpose.
Testing determination/guts/staying power is a different thing and need to be tested separately.

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.
