Полк за специјални операции

      Iskustvo iz rata koji je 2001. godine zahvatio Makedoniju doprinosi reorganizaciji ARM. Vojska se prestrukturira, brojčano smanjuje i profesionalizira. Tako je 08. 12. 2003. godine formiran Puk za specijalne operacije koji se čine dva dijela: Odred za specijalne namjene „Volci“ (Vukovi) i bataljon „Rendžeri“, koji je sastavljen od dijela pripadnika izviđačkog bataljona „Risovi“ i jednog dijela 501. Padobransko-diverzantskog odreda, kao i djela pripadnika ESM Volci. U sastav ulaze i vojnici iz drugih jedinica, nakon što prolaze jaku selekciju. Jedinice iz ovog Puka su učestvovale u misijama u Iraku i Afganistanu, pri čemu izvode obuku sa jedinicama domaćina, ali i sa pripadnicima jedinica u čijem su sastavu i bili, obučavajući ih u temama, kao što je urbana borba.Ova je jedinica bila primarna vojna snaga angažirana u sukobima 2001. sa Albancima u Zapadnoj Makedoniji. 

      The experience from the war that engulfed Macedonia in 2001 contributes to the reorganization of ARM. The army is being restructured, reduced in number and professionalized. Thus, on December 8, 2003, the Special Operations Regiment was formed, which consists of two parts: the "Wolves" Special Purpose Detachment and the "Rangers" battalion, which is composed of part of the members of the "Lynx" reconnaissance battalion and one part 501st Parachute-sabotage detachment, as well as works by members of ESM Volci. Soldiers from other units are also included in the composition, after undergoing a strong selection process. Units from this Regiment participated in missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, during which they carried out training with the host units, but also with members of the units they were part of, training them in topics such as urban combat. This unit was a primary military unit engaged in the 2001 conflicts with the Albanians in Western Macedonia.

      Puk za specijalne operacije Vojske Makedonije u svojem sastavu ima dvije elitne jedinice „Vukove“ i „Rendžere“. Baza ove jedinice je u skopskoj kasarni „Ilinden“ (bivša JNA kasarna „Maršal Tito“). Ova elitna jedinica osnovana je još 1994. Amblem “Vukova” Štit – predstavlja armijsku, odnosno vojničku pripadnost, a crvena boja označava hrabrost i riјešenost (to je jedna od boja Republike Makedonije). Nož - označava vojsku, a strijela predstavlja specijalne jedinice. Žuta boja je boja pravičnosti i velikodušnosti (također jedna od boja Republike Makedonije). Padobran i krilo – prikazuje da je u pitanju padobransko – desantna jedinica, koja koristi avione i helikoptere, Vuk – simbol Jedinice, označava riješenost, a boje u kojima je oslikan crna što predstavlja razumnost i bijela čast. Lenta u crvenoj boji na kojoj je natpis “Semper Etiam Ubique Superiores “ je zapravo moto Jedinice “Uvek i svuda prvi”. Vukovi (Makedonski: Волци) su specijalna jedinica Makedonske vojske. Ova je jedinica bila primarna vojna snaga angažirana u sukobima 2001. sa Albancima u Zapadnoj Makedoniji. 

      U Puku za specijalne operacije nose se beretke raznih boja. Vukovi nose crvene (bordo) beretke, rendžeri zelene, dok štabno osoblje nosi plave (teget) beretke.

      The special operations regiment of the Macedonian Army has two elite units "Wolves" and "Rangers" in its composition. The base of this unit is in the "Ilinden" barracks in Skopje (former JNA barracks "Maršal Tito"). This elite unit was founded in 1994. The "Wolves" Shield emblem - represents the army, that is, military affiliation, and the red color signifies courage and determination (it is one of the colors of the Republic of Macedonia). The knife - represents the army, and the arrow represents special units. Yellow is the color of fairness and generosity (also one of the colors of the Republic of Macedonia). Parachute and wing - shows that it is a parachute-landing unit, which uses airplanes and helicopters, the Wolf - the symbol of the Unit, means determination, and the colors in which it is painted are black, which represents reasonableness and white honor. The red ribbon with the inscription "Semper Etiam Ubique Superiores" is actually the Unit's motto "Always and everywhere first". Wolves (Macedonian: Volci) are a special unit of the Macedonian Army. This unit was the primary military force engaged in the 2001 conflicts with the Albanians in Western Macedonia.

      Berets of various colors are worn in the Special Operations Regiment. Wolves wear red (burgundy) berets, Rangers green, while staff wear blue (navy) berets.

WOLFS    VUKOVI   Волци

      01. 03. 1994. godine, u sastavu Armije Republike Makedonije, formirana je „Edinica za specijalni nameni Volci“ (Jedinica za specijalne namjene Vukovi), kao prva potpuno profesionalna jedinica u ARM.  U početku je to bila mala jedinica, od oko stotinu vojnika, podjeljenih u tri voda, koja je imala za zadatak nekonvencionalno ratovanje. Jedna od zadaća je bilo i sprečavanje šverca ljudi, oružja i narkotika preko granice, koju je u to vrijeme čuvala ARM. Vremenom jedinica raste brojem, a 1998. godine usvajaju NATO standarde. Tako usvajaju i tipičnu formaciju od 12 ljudi, mada se ta formacija prema potrebi može i mijenjati, kao što je učinjeno u Iraku, gdje su bili timovi sastavljeni od 8 pripadnika. Tim (odjeljenje) se sastoji od zapovjednika, njegovog zamjenika, odjeljenskog specijaliste, obavještajca, dvojice specijalista za oružje, dvojce za minsko-eksplozivna sredstva, dva medicinara te jedan specijalista za komunikaciju. Uz to i odjeljenja se specijaliziraju za razne poslove, npr alpinistički tim, tim podvodnih diverzanata, protivteroristički te padobranski tim.

      On March 1, 1994, as part of the Army of the Republic of Macedonia, the "Unit for Special Purposes Volci" (Unit for Special Purposes Wolves) was formed, as the first fully professional unit in the ARM. In the beginning, it was a small unit, of about a hundred soldiers, divided into three platoons, which was tasked with unconventional warfare. One of the tasks was to prevent the smuggling of people, weapons and narcotics across the border, which at that time was guarded by the ARM. Over time, the unit grew in number, and in 1998 they adopted NATO standards. Thus, they adopt a typical formation of 12 people, although this formation can be changed as needed, as was done in Iraq, where there were teams made up of 8 members. The team (department) consists of a commander, his deputy, a department specialist, an intelligence officer, two weapons specialists, two mine and explosives specialists, two medics and one communication specialist. In addition, the departments specialize in various tasks, for example, the mountaineering team, the underwater sabotage team, the anti-terrorist team and the parachute team.

      Amblem “Vukova” štit – predstavlja armijsku, odnosno vojničku pripadnost, a crvena boja označava hrabrost i riješenost (to je jedna od boja Republike Makedonije). Nož - označava vojsku, a strijela predstavlja specijalne jedinice. Žuta boja je boja pravičnosti i velikodušnosti (takođe jedna od boja RM). Padobran i krilo – prikazuju da je u pitanju padobransko – desantna jedinica, koja koristi avione i helikoptere, Vuk – simbol Jedinice, označava rješenost, a boje u kojima je oslikan crna predstavlja blagorazumnost i bijela čast. Lenta u crvenoj boji na kojoj je natpis “Semper Etiam Ubi Superiores “ je moto Jedinice “Uvijek i svuda prvi”. Vukovi (Makedonski: Волци) su specijalna jedinica Makedonske vojske. Ova je jedinica bila primarna vojna snaga angažirana u sukobima 2001. sa Albancima u Zapadnoj Makedoniji.
