Aftermath
At the end of the war in Europe both the 1st and 2nd Special Air Service regiments had returned to the United Kingdom in preparation to be re-deployed to the Far East in the fight against the Japanese Empire. Before any training could start both regiments together with the 1st Airborne Division were sent to disarm the German garrison in Norway Operation Doomsday. In August 1945 the Special Air Service regiments returned home from Norway, and in October 1945 they were officially disbanded. The British Authorities of the time could see no further use for such a force.
