The Saberin Takavar Brigade (Persian: گردان تکاور صابرين; meaning Steadfasts Commando Battalions) also known as Saberin Unit is an elite[2] Takavar unit in the Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It is considered one of the best Takavar units in the Iranian Armed Forces, with decades of military and combat experience both at home and especially in overseas operations in neighboring countries. It is one of the most exclusive units in the IRGC, having at least 6,000 members, all of them volunteers and handpicked from the best and most capable units in the IRGC Ground, Air and Sea forces.

Together with the Quds Force operatives and the Sepah Navy Special Force marines, they are considered the elite, top tier unit of the IRGC, and the best soldiers within the Corps.[3][4]
