In today’s era of SAS, Green berets, Delta Force , Muslims have forgotten that they also had a World Class Special Force during the Ottoman Empire.
Teşkilat-ı Mahsusa or تشکیلات مخصوصه, Teşkilât-ı Mahsusa was founded by Enver Pasha. Pasha is the codeword in Ottoman bureaucracy for a high ranking political, civil or military officer. In this case Ismail Enver was a General and he codified the Ottoman Special Forces. Ismail Enver Pasha is the general who is mentioned in many Deobandi books (such as Aap Beti by Shaykhul Hadeeth Maulana Zakariyya (RA)).
He never got on with Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who was his Junior. Enver Pasha never liked Ataturk as a subordinate and was dissatisfied with his military performance.
