Exas Group presents Sabre, a custom-designed immersive team-building and leadership package rooted in our LEAD (Leadership Excellence and Awareness Development) principles. Sabre represents the apex of our experiential services, offering a transformative experience inspired by the elite 'Sabre Squadrons' of the Australian SAS.

Sabre provides a comprehensive and intense program designed to cultivate leadership excellence and foster cohesive, high-performing teams, echoing the elite standards of the Australian SAS Sabre Squadrons.

Historical Background: The Sabre Squadrons

The term 'Sabre Squadron' originated in the British Army, derived from the sabre traditionally wielded by mounted soldiers, including cavalry units. This historical legacy underscores the elite and formidable nature of the Sabre experience, mirroring the rigorous standards and leadership qualities exemplified by these renowned military units.

The name "Sabre" is a tribute to the Australian Special Air Service Regiment's (SASR) elite units, known as "Sabre Squadrons." These squadrons are designated as such to symbolise their sharp, precise, and formidable capabilities, much like the sabre sword. The SASR adopted this name to emphasize the cutting-edge skills, precision, and effectiveness of their operatives in the field, drawing parallels to the swift and decisive nature of the sabre in combat.
