Wild Tiger Corps (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The Wild Tiger Corps (Thai: กองเสือป่า) was a national paramilitary corps founded in Thailand in 1911 by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI). Inspired by the British Volunteer Force, the unit was intended to maintain civil order. The Wild Tiger Corps was founded on 1 May 1911 by King Vajiravudh. The corps was meant to be a nationwide paramilitary corps, answerable only to the monarch. At first a ceremonial guard, it became a military force of 4,000 within its first year. Filled with commoners, the king would often mess with them and socialize with them openly. The corps eventually rivalled the army in strength and the civil service in influence. The king even went so far as appointing some to high ranks in the army and nobility. The Wild Tiger Corps specialize in protecting the king and the royal family, protect the palace, hand-to-hand combat, melee combat with weapons, use of firearms, and some specialize in undercover operations in order to spy on intelligence that could pose a threat to the royal family. However, they also received combat training in infantry style such as hand and arm signals, raid, reconnaissance, and others related to infantry skills in those period. While the king socialized with members of the corps, the regular army and aristocrats were deeply dissatisfied. Army officers were not permitted to join the organization. They saw these new appointments and the corps as a threat to the honour of the army. Combined with the king's spending on new palaces and attention on dramatic productions, the kingdom was deeply in debt and was in danger of financial collapse. This dissatisfaction partially led to the Palace Revolt of 1912. The Wild Tigers Corps was disbanded soon after the 1912 revolt failed. The unit brought its Thai name from the Scout Corps founded by King Naresuan around 1600. It also included a junior division known as Luk Sua ("Tiger Cubs") based on the Boy Scout movement. (en)
Корпус Дикие тигры (тайск.: กองเสือป่า) — военизированный отряд, созданный королём Сиама Рамой VI Вачиравудом в 1911 году. Корпус Дикие тигры считался личной гвардией короля. Рама VI Вачиравуд получил высшее образование в Великобритании, где и проникся идеей создания бойскаутских отрядов в Таиланде. Раму VI Вачиравуда часто называют «Отцом тайского скаутинга», а Таиланд является четвёртой страной в мире, в которой появились отряды скаутов. При корпусе также было молодёжное добровольческое подразделение парамилитари, построенное по образцу бойкаутских отрядов — Тигрята (тайск. ลูกเสือ); после попытки переворота 1912 года деятельность корпуса и молодёжного подразделения были временно приостановлены на 4 года, а после Сиамской революции в 1932 году Дикие тигры и Тигрята были полностью распущены.
