THE E3F squad, codenamed the F-Team, never had more than 50 personnel, which was considered small in the jungle, but their unconventional tactics coupled with the experience most of the team had working in the jungle led to great success.

“This small unit of about 40 personnel achieved more success than all security forces put together,” says Senior Asst Comm Datuk Leong Chee Woh (pic) proudly.
