The SJB SAS Pack v1.0 contains Special Air Service (SAS) operators in both Patrol Kit and Assault Kit with the requisite camouflages for use in both temperate woodland and arid region environments. The pack now also includes Special Boat Service (SBS) units in generic civilian clothing, as well as Special Forces Support Group (SFSG) units in Multicam. These units are high fidelity representations of modern SAS operators circa 2006-present, using equipment sourced from photographs and information proprietary to the SJB mod team. Currently the units are equipped with BIS weaponry. Later versions of the pack will make use of the upcoming SJB Weapons Packs which will include weapons such as the L119A1 (Diemaco SFW) intended for use with the SJB SAS Pack.
In order to pre-empt some misplaced analysis from the community, the mod team wishes to make clear the following:
Since the collaboration of Coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan it has not been uncommon for military personnel, including Special Forces, from the
United Kingdom and the United States, to cooperate closely during operations. Various uniform components of other nations may be worn by UKSF for a variety of reasons during these operations. Some of these reasons include operational security, reasons of Identification Friend/Foe, interoperability or even just personal preference of the man in the uniform.
The equipment worn by each of these units is not only intended to give the user a high quality representation of UKSF operators in game, but the mod team has also taken into account that the units should be applicable to all types of missions associated with Armed Assault 2.
These units are not what one would call stereotypical SAS, but the mod team wishes to assure you that the units are an accurate representative of modern operators to the best of their knowledge.
The units feature a few custom touches (unique editor icons, command-bar icons, custom night-vision and pistol proxies etc).
The addon also includes two custom ammo crates (EMPTY > AMMO > Ammo and Weapons Stash Woodland/Desert). These should come in handy for creating LUPs etc.

Change Log:
-----------
> PUBLIC RELEASE V1.0 (29/12/10)
> BETA v1.0 (20/12/2009):
- Original port from ArmA1.
- Added SBS and SFSG Units.
- Numerous model edits across the board, too many to list. If you used the ArmA1 version of the units, then you'll more than likely spot the changes.
- Huge update on the textures, most were re-done from scratch with new DPM swatches etc. Thanks go to SafetyCatch once again.
Anyway, now the important thing, the download link (mirrors are very welcome, and will be added here as and when they are posted, thanks in advance):
