The Tactical Mobilisation Group (TMG, Turkish: Seferberlik Taktik Kurulu) was the special operations unit of the Turkish Army. It was founded in 1952 as part of NATO's efforts to establish a Counter-Guerrilla force in Turkey as the Turkish branch of Operation Gladio.[1] It was disbanded in 1965, with special operations taken over by the new Special Warfare Department (Turkish: Özel Harp Dairesi).
In the 2000s it was revealed that the 1955 Istanbul pogrom was engineered by the TMG.[2][3] Turkish Land Forces General Sabri Yirmibeşoğlu, the right-hand man of General Kemal Yamak[4] who organised the Counter-Guerrilla through the Tactical Mobilization Group, proudly reminisced about his involvement in the riots, calling the TMG "a magnificent organization".[5][6][7]
