EPISODE 3: Thai Marine Recon
Premieres 16 September, Sunday, 10pm
Thailands Marine Recon training is one of the toughest in the world. This elite unit specialises in clearing the path for large amphibious landings and infiltrate behind enemy lines by sea, land and air. Small teams then gather intelligence or strike at enemy positions.
This special unit was created in 1962, during a period of communist insurgecy and conflict spreading across Southeast Asia. They faught conflicts on Thailands borders and deep jungles for nearly 20 years.
Today these men are trained to operate in the harshest conditions on both land and sea. But to earn the Marine recon badge they first have to survive three months of brutal training designed in three stages.
Stage 1:
Camp Based Phase is nicknamed Hercules Phase. The volunteers are put through days of non-stop physical and mental training at the Marine Base in the coastal town of Sattahip. This stage is designed to find the weakest men and lose them. Week five ends with the exhausting 60-hour challenge carrying huge weights without sleep and with little food. The men navigate their way 100km across country in temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius. Over 30% of recruits will be lost in this first stage. Those that survive move to an even tougher challenge.
Stage 2:
Sea Phase is nicknamed Alligator Phase the amphibious training stage. This part of training has some deadly consequences. The training is so extreme that if accidents happen, people can drown. The last two courses saw recruits die. Training begins on a high with recruits jumping 10 feet from a speeding helicopter into sea. Next is the deadly 3-mile night swimming test. In rough seas these men will need to draw on their mental and physical strength to swim from the open ocean to shore. The pain continues, next the men have to carry and paddle a 100kg rubber dinghy for 9 hours non-stop, without teamwork they wont succeed.
Stage 3:
Jungle Phase is nicknamed Leopard Phase. Recruits face off with a venomous cobra in the jungle survival training before honing their patrolling skills climaxing with a live firing exercise using real bullets, grenades and real explosives. From here its onto their final and toughest challenge. A 150 km trek and paddle with the ubiquitous rubber dinghy. If they pass the finish line, they earn their badges and can proudly be called Marine Recon.
Short Synopsis:

They faught conflicts on Thailands borders and deep jungles for nearly 20 years. Today these men are trained to operate in the harshest conditions on sea, land and air. Three months Recon training pushes volunteers to their physical and mental limits. From drinking cobra blood in jungle surivival to 100km forced marches and the deadly night swimming test. We reveal what pushes men to go beyond their limits and what it takes to make the grade of the Thai Marine Recon.

VAT 69
![kaskus-image]()
TAHUN 2009 ini genap 40 tahun penubuhan pasukan elit Pasukan Polis Hutan (PPH) 69 atau VAT 69. Kisah perjuangan, suka duka, perit maung skuad kebanggaan nusa bangsa sering menjadi ingatan dan sama sekali tidak dilupakan.
Terlalu banyak kenangan yang tidak boleh dibiarkan kerana satu ketika dulu nama VAT 69 yang ditubuhkan pada 23 Oktober 1969 cukup ditakuti komunis.
Skuad itu digelar komunis sebagai Lok Kow bermaksud 69 dan digeruni kerana kehebatan mereka menjejak pengganas dan bertempur di hutan.
Hakikatnya, menjejaki komunis di hutan belantara memang sukar. Mereka juga mempunyai pasukan risikan, mendapatkan maklumat mengenai pasukan keselamatan yang memburu mereka.
Menariknya, bagi pasukan VAT 69, mereka sentiasa diajar supaya berfikir bagaimana menjadi komunis, bagaimana bertindak melarikan diri dan mendapatkan maklumat kerana melalui pendekatan itulah lebih mudah mereka menjejak pengganas.
Melalui pendekatan itu, mereka mempunyai kelebihan dan lebih bijak mengatur gerak sekali gus menggerunkan pengganas kerana gerak langkah mereka adalah hampir sama. Sudah pasti kumpulan awal penubuhan VAT 69 dianggap pelopor kejayaan gemilang mereka.
Seorang pemimpin VAT 69 yang dianggap pakar taktikal dan cukup digeruni komunis ialah Allahyarham Asisten Superintendan (ASP) Mohd Zabri Abdul Hamid yang dianggap perwira paling dikenang dalam pasukan elit berkenaan.
Beliau terkorban akibat terkena jerangkap samar selepas pasukannya memenangi satu pertempuran di Hulu Perak, Perak pada 1975 dan sebagai tanda memperingati jasanya, sebuah kem latihan Komando 69 PGK di Tasik Banding, Grik, Perak dinamakan sebagai Kem Zabri.
Menyingkap kisah tragis itu, seorang anggota VAT 69 yang terbabit dalam pertempuran itu, Sallehuddin Omar, 58, menegaskan peristiwa itu seolah-olah berlaku semalam dan semangat perjuangan rakan sepasukan tidak pernah pudar hingga ke hari ini.
Namun, mereka tidak dapat menyembunyikan perasaan sedih ketika Zabri yang digelar bos oleh anak buahnya menghembuskan nafas terakhir. Semuanya menitiskan air mata kerana kehilangan pemimpin disayangi. Hingga kini, jika bercerita mengenai Zabri, pasti menitiskan air mata.
Detik perjuangan mereka bermula apabila tiga patrol diketuai Ismail Daud, Mail Rantai, Wan Tahar dan Sheikh Ismail, ditugaskan menggagalkan cubaan komunis meletupkan satu empangan di Perak. Selepas hampir tiga bulan berada di hutan, satu pasukan bantuan ditugaskan menghantar bekalan makanan.
Malangnya, empat anggota yang menaiki bot diserang hendap dan dibunuh kejam dengan mayat mereka dikelar dengan pisau oleh komunis.
Pasukan VAT 69 kemudian mengesan kedudukan khemah musuh berhampiran Grik pada 3 September 1975. Sebelum itu, mereka kehilangan jejak komunis dan ketika tiba di satu kawasan tanjung untuk mendapatkan bekalan air bersih, penjejak laluan ternampak musuh di kawasan sama.
Serentak itu, tiga patrol terdiri daripada 18 orang bergabung dalam barisan panjang, semua berpecah mengambil kedudukan bertempur hebat dengan komunis dianggarkan antara 30 hingga 40 orang.
Pertempuran itu mengorbankan 18 orang dan dua anggota VAT 69 parah iaitu Aziz Idris dan ketua patrol, Sheikh Ismail.
Peluru bertaburan macam hujan, nak angkat kepala pun tak boleh, peluru lalu atas kepala. Kami menyerang guna bom tangan. Selepas 45 minit bertempur, terdengar jeritan bawa ke sungai dan kami percaya komunis bawa lari rakan tercedera ke laluan sungai supaya jejak sukar dikesan, katanya.
Ketika bertempur, operator perhubungan, Ahmad Dahlal Hashim, mendapatkan bantuan Zabri yang ketika itu mengetuai pasukan lain di kawasan berdekatan. Disebabkan hujan lebat dan jaraknya jauh, pasukan Zabri tiba di kawasan pertempuran pada awal pagi keesokannya.
Selepas pertempuran selesai, VAT 69 menemui bekalan termasuk senjata dan makanan dan merampas rampas bom, pelancar roket, makanan dipercayai untuk projek khas meletupkan empangan.
Sebaik tiba, Zabri mengarahkan pasukan menghala ke tempat pendaratan helikopter yang jaraknya kira-kira sehari perjalanan bagi mengeluarkan anggota tercedera mendapatkan rawatan.
Zabri arahkan kami jangan mengejar komunis kerana bimbang terkena perangkap samar dan minta tumpukan kepada misi membawa anggota keluar. Beliau sering mengingatkan jangan sesekali tersalah langkah terpijak jerangkap samar yang biasa dipasang di denai binatang.
Komunis gunakan jerangkap bom dipasang bateri, dibungkus plastik supaya tidak rosak dan tahan lama. Malangnya ketika dalam perjalanan, Zabri sendiri yang terkena. Beliau bersama penjejak Orang Asli, Bahuda berada di depan, manakala penjejak Apot, berada di belakang kerana kepenatan bertempur.
Ketika melintasi kawasan sungai, mungkin Zabri terlupa dan memang ajalnya sudah tiba, beliau terpijak akar kayu yang dipasang perangkap bom. Letupan kuat berlaku dan saya dengar Mail Rantai jerit habislah...bos dah kena
Bos putus kaki kanan, tetapi masih sedarkan diri, darah banyak mengalir. Walaupun kesakitan, beliau tetap semangat, masih fikirkan pasal berjuang, naikkan semangat anak buah supaya tidak mudah menyerah, katanya.
Mereka membuat keputusan melalui laluan lain kerana percaya komunis akan menunggu di mana-mana tempat dan akan menyerang ketika dalam perjalanan.
Zabri dibawa keluar menggunakan pengusung dan pakar perubatan pasukan, Abdul Rahman Sabden, merawatnya sepanjang perjalanan.
Bos menghembus nafas terakhir ketika dalam perjalanan ke tempat helikopter. Ketika itu, semua anggota kaku, menangis, tak tertahan melihat ketua yang dedikasi, bersemangat meninggalkan kami. Hingga sekarang kami akan kenang kejadian itu, katanya.
Ketika tiba di tempat pendaratan helikopter, mereka mendapat bantuan daripada Rejimen Komando Gerak Khas (RGK) dan pasukan Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM) membuat serangan udara di tempat disyaki.
Anggota keselamatan yang berada dalam hutan dikumpul di tempat selamat dan serangan udara berlaku dua jam tanpa henti. Pasukan RGK kemudian meneruskan operasi darat bagi menghapuskan saki baki komunis di kawasan berkenaan.
