Special Task Force Special Task Force The Special Task Force (STF) (Sinhala: විශේෂ කාර්ය බලකාය "Visesha Karya Balakaya"; Tamil: சிறப்பு அதிரடிப் படை) is an elite para-military forces unit of the Sri Lanka Police specializing in counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations. It was formed in 1983 not as a military force, but rather as a highly specialised police unit. The STF heads counter-terrorism missions and – as the most highly trained police organisation in Sri Lanka – it would be the lead unit whenever law enforcement forces engaged the Tamil Tigers (LTTE). The STF is mostly stationed in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka where
