Hallo
Es gibt leider noch keine seite mit der Griechischen Kampfschwimmer einheit auf English oder Deutsch die Offiziell auch vom Ministerium ins Net gestellt wird.
Der Grund ist ganz einfach...security
Deswegen hab Ich hier einige Pics aus meiner persoenlichen sammlung rein gesetzt,als Ich diente.(2 Jahre MYK(SEALS)
MYK
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monada Ypovrixion Kastrofon (meaning Underwater Destruction Unit) is the Greek Navy's special warfare unit. MYK is divided into four detachments, or OYKs (Omada Ypovrichion Katastophon). MYK has four main missions:
Infiltration and sabotage of enemy shipping and bases
Reconnaissance and pre-landing beach clearance an designation
Ordinance disposal
Maritime Counter-Terrorism
Created in 1957, MYK's initial cadre consisted of two naval officers. The men were sent to Little Creek Amphibious Base near Norfolk, Virginia; where both men undertook the US Navy UDT/R training (the forerunner to today's BUD/S course). Upon completion of training, the two men returned home and trained an additional dozen men. This group was assigned to the Greek Navy's amphibious operations command.
In 1959 the unit established its own headquarters and training facilities at Squaramanga Naval Base, but additional training was provided my detachments of USN SEALS and UDT personnel. In 1970 the unit underwent a reorganization and is currently composed of 110 men divided into four operational detachments and a headquarters unit. Each Det is composed of 25 men and specializes in a certain type of mission:
OYK1- unconventional warfare/ intelligence missions
OYK2- unconventional warfare/ intelligence missions
OYK3- beach recon and hydrographic survey
OYK4- conducts EOD operations
There is also a reserve OYK called OYK5 that would be activated during wartime.
The MYK training course lasts approximately seven months. Training is divided into three phases, with the completion of the course consisting of a five day long "hell week". Candidates who successfully complete the course go on to attend the Greek Airborne course before being assigned to their unit.
During the Gulf War, two OYKs tasked with enforcing the UN embargo against Irag managed to board and search an astounding 217 ships. They are armed with M-16A2 and MP-11 assault rifles, the MP-5 submachine gun, and the MG-3 7.62 light machine gun.

ETA
The Hellenic (Greek) military maintains a number of elite units within its ranks. One of the most highly trained, and secretive, of these units is the Army's Idiko Tmima Alexiptotiston, or E.T.A. The E.T.A. (Special Parachute/Airborne Unit) was formed in 1959, as a Long Range Recon Patrol (LRRP) type unit, and is tasked with conducting operations similar to US Special Forces or British SAS units. Some of these missions include: strategic reconnaissance, direct action raids, and sabotage missions.
Very little information about the units training, organization, or operations has been released publicly. What little is known is that it's composed of carrier officers and NCO's. ETA's troops undergo some of the most extensive and grueling training within the Greek armed forces. In addition to completing training at the Army's KEAP (Kentro Ekpedefseos Anorthodoxou Polemou -Unconventional Warfare Training Center), SERE, and parachute courses, ETA operators have also attended the Greek Navy's MYK course, and the NATO International Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol School in Germany. ETA operators have conducted joint training exercises similar type units from allied NATO countries, excluding Turkey.
Reportedly ETA recently been active in the former Yugoslavian republics.
Also in Somalia/Persian Golf/Georgia/Afghanistan.
ETA is known to use the US produced M-16 assault rifle, M-4 carbines, M-203 40 mm grenade launcher, and Belgian produced Minimi (US M-249 5.56 mm) light machine gun
