It identifies the abilities of parachutist, airborne unit and air assault operations. The parachute wings are mostly worn by operators from "Pasukan Gerakan Khas" and can only be worn after they passes the Basic Tactical Parachuting Course (). UTK badge gets its influence from British Special Air Service badge and Malayan Scouts (now known as 22 SAS) badge as UTK were trained by the SAS. Previously separate entities, both the VAT 69 and the UTK were amalgamated into the PGK Command on 20 October 1997, when it was launched by the 5th Inspector General of Police, Tan Sri Rahim Noor. However, the VAT 69 and the UTK are still operating as separate units. The UTK is now officially known as Pasukan Gerakan Khas" Detachment A and VAT 69 has been deputised to Pasukan Gerakan Khas" Detachment B.  Based at the Royal Malaysia Police Headquarters in Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur, the PGK is under the direct command of the RMP's Internal and Public Security () Director. The unit commander holds the rank of Senior Assistant Commissioner (SAC) and is the Deputy Director of the Internal and Public Security Branch. With the growing threat of terrorism since the 11 September attacks, this unit has increasingly adapted itself to conduct counter-terrorism duties. With the aim of creating teams that are capable of dealing with a broad range of operations (especially counter-terrorism operations), the PGK small patrol team consist of six to ten operatives led by officers ranked from Police Inspector to Superintendent of Police with different expertise such as an assault units, snipers, communications experts, EOD experts and field medics. The PGK has also forged closer relations with the special forces of the Malaysian Armed Forces, including the elite 10th Parachute Brigade, 21st "Grup Gerak Khas", PASKAL and PASKAU, so as to enable them to more effectively enforce security within Malaysia's borders. Even though the unit is small, the UTK is composed of various teams with their own specialised duties and specialization. Publicly known teams under UTK are:  All members of the Malaysian police force with two years of service can enter UTK Selections. Depending on the department's policy, officers generally have to serve a minimum tenure within the department before being able to apply for a specialist section such as VAT 69 and UTK. This tenure requirement is based on the fact that PGK officers are still law enforcement officers and must have a thorough knowledge of department policies and procedures.
