Formed in 2005, the unit is primarily tasked with hostage rescue, counter-terrorism, and other SWAT-type activities. At various times, members of the unit have worn Italian ''vegetato,'' German ''schneetarn,'' and [[Multicam]] pattern uniforms.

 The main proponent of Kosovan independence was the Kosovo Liberation Army ''( Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës -- UÇK)'', formed in 1992 by nationalist Albanians living in [[Macedonia]], later migratring into Kosovo. In addition to emigres from other parts of Europe, the UCK included some ex-JNA military personnel with experience in the Croatian War of Independence. As well, five Islamic groups served in the UCK, bringing experienced fighters from [[Afghanistan]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia]], [[Chechen Republic|Chechnya]], [[Egypt]], [[Iran]], [[Saudi Arabia]] and the [[Sudan]].<ref>N Thomas & K Mikulan: The Yugoslav Wars 2 (Osprey Publishing, Oxford, 2006), p 46</ref> Needless to say they were outfitted in a multitude of different types of uniforms, including surplus camouflage from the JNA, [[Germany]], [[Switzerland]], and the [[USA]].

 The Republic of Kosovo (''Republika e Kosovës'' or Република Косово) is an independent state in what was once a province of the Socialist Federal Republic of [[Yugoslavia]]. Prior to a declaration of independence, ethnic Albanian Kosovans waged an insurgency against the SFRY between 1998 and 1999. Yugoslavian forces withdrew from the province following an extended bombing campaign led by NATO.
