The 69 Commando (Malay: 69 Komando, Jawi: ٦٩ كومندو); also known as Very Able Troopers 69 (abbreviation: VAT 69) is an elite multi-tasking special forces unit of the Royal Malaysia Police. The VAT 69 is based at Ulu Kinta, Perak and together with Special Actions Unit (Malay: Unit Tindakhas; UTK), they are part of Pasukan Gerakan Khas (abbreviated PGK, English: Police Special Operations Command). The mission of 69 Commando is to conduct high-risk tasks such as counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, intelligence gathering and counter-insurgency within the borders of Malaysia.[1]
Prior to 1989, the 69 Commando was primarily tasked with the war against communist terrorists in the Malaysian jungle. Today, 69 Commando has much wider counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency role, but it still maintains considerable expertise in jungle warfare; many of their operators are drawn from the Senoi Praaq, an elite tracking unit which is now part of RMP's General Operations Force.
