In addition, each GROM operator is expected to know at least two languages. Many of the people running these support teams are ex-operators themselves who have been injured enough to lose their assault status or are too old to participate in the assaults but want to continue serving. These former operators bring and maintain experience and skills.
All training is done with live ammunition.
Weapons include the HK MP-5 9mm submachinegun family, and the indigenous Tantal 5.45mm assault rifle. Personal sidearm selection is left up to the individual. PSG-1 or Mauser 86 7.62mm rifles.
