Military unit
The Home Army Silent Unseen Paratroopers GROM Military Unit (Polish: Jednostka Wojskowa GROM im. Cichociemnych Spadochroniarzy Armii Krajowej), simply known as the GROM Military Unit (Polish: Jednostka Wojskowa GROM, JW GROM), is a Polish special forces unit and forms part of the Special Troops Command of the Polish Armed Forces. It is believed to consist of around 250 operatives plus support personnel.[1] GROM is considered to be the most elite unit in the Polish Armed Forces.[2]
The unit's other name is Jednostka Wojskowa 2305 (Military Unit No. 2305). Each member of the unit is required to speak at least two languages and have basic medical skills.[1] GROM operators gained the nickname of "The Surgeons" due to their extensive medical training and knowledge and their surgical ability to coordinate and execute special operations. GROM was formed in 1990 with training provided to the initial GROM operators by the US Army Delta Force and the British Army Special Air Service.[3]
