push-ups
dips
pull-ups
chin-ups
one-legged squats
burpees
Glute/ham raises
sit-ups
hanging leg raises
The best way to get your numbers up there is to increase your overall volume on each exercise but at the same time staying away from muscular failure most of the time.Pyramids or Pavel's ladder training work well.
Swimming, running and hiking are also good additions.More than anything, you will need strength of mind to persevere in the elite units.But you can't get that by doing push-ups
Good luck!

Dont forget to swim and run. Thats what you really need to worry about.
