Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales del Alto Mando

The Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales del Alto Mando ("High Command Special Forces Airmobile Group") is a special operations unit of the Mexican Army. It's a group with no more than 100 members, carefully selected from the Mexican Army Special Forces Corps and specially trained in counter-terrorist tactics. The unit's mission is to carry out the most delicate operations ordered directly by the President and the Secretary of National Defense.

Due to the secrecy that surrounds the High Command GAFE group, very little is known about the unit. They keep and mantain some of the best military equipment anyone could have access to, and they're only compared to their US equivalent, the Delta Force, though not to the SAS, which is generally agreed to be the best military unit in the world.

One of the few times its members were seen in public was hours after the successful capture of Osiel Cardenas in 2003, one of the most wanted drug cartel leaders in Mexico and the United States, as they arrived in Mexico City. They're the only Special Forces group that don't participate nor show up at the Parade of the Mexican Armed Forces on September 16.

They are rumored to have a 'White Card', which is a license to kill.

Another known mission carried out by the High Command GAFE group was the capture of drug cartel leader Javier Torres Félix aka El JT in Culiacan, Sinaloa, January 27th of 2004. The commandos left Mexico City for Culiacan at 9:00 a.m. and returned with Félix at 6:00 p.m. that same day. Commanders had scheduled the arrest for another day but the Secretary told reporters that immediate capture was necessary. One of Félix's hitmen had killed a soldier from the Third military region while the soldier was on patrol at the outskirts of the town of El Tule.
