rdfs:comment	Die Grupos Especiais (GE, Portugiesisch: Spezialgruppen) waren eine paramilitärische Spezialeinheit, die von 1966 bis 1974 im Portugiesischen Kolonialkrieg eingesetzt wurden. Die GE waren ursprünglich nicht Teil der Streitkräfte, wurden jedoch von deren Offizieren, die in der Regel eine Comando-Ausbildung besaßen, geführt. Die GE setzten sich ausschließlich aus Eingeborenen zusammen und wurden ausschließlich für Counterinsurgency-Einsätze in den Kolonien Angola und Mosambik verwandt. Später wurden auch GE für Fallschirmjägereinsätze aufgestellt, die Grupos Especiais Páraquedistas (GEP), die nur in Mosambik zum Einsatz kamen.
