Estonia’s Special Forces, established in 2008, have evolved into a highly specialized unit in unconventional warfare, recognized internationally for its expertise. This unit has been involved in various multinational missions, emphasizing advanced training and collaborations with NATO and other allied forces.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The Estonian Special Operations Forces (ESTSOF) originated from the Special Operations Task Group (SOTG) which was created in 2008, becoming a separate entity by 2014.
  2. The current commander of the Estonian Special Operations Force is Lieutenant Colonel Margus Kuul, taking over from Colonel Riho Ühtegi in 2019.
  3. The Estonian Special Forces have significant ties with NATO, emphasizing missions like strategic reconnaissance, cyber network operations, and personnel recovery.
  4. Training for ESTSOF officers lasts approximately 3 years and involves continuous collaboration with international forces, primarily the US SOF.
  5. Estonia’s military outlook for 2026 indicates a focus on enhancing intelligence, warning functions, and cyber capabilities, signaling further growth and investment in their Special Forces.
