A breed apart, a cut above the rest.
Another kind of soldier. Mature. Highly skilled. Superbly
trained. Unquestionably the world's finest unconventional
warfare expert. A teacher first, and fighter of uncommon
physical and mental caliber. Ready to serve anywhere
at any time.
Special Forces demands a tremendous amount of inventiveness
and self-reliance. As its name implies, it deals with
special combat situations you won't find in most textbooks.
The mission: unconventional warfare operations and counter-insurgency.
You have to be resolute, resourceful and resilient
to earn your place on a Special Forces "A"
team. Each team member is a highly-skilled specialist
- and cross-training ensures the multiple utility of
each soldier on the team.
If scaling mountain
tops, parachuting from airplanes and rappelling down
sheer cliffs sounds like an adventure, then you're Special
Forces material.
If moving undetected through jungle undergrowth, infiltrating
deep into enemy-held territory and striking with a force
of a lightning bolt is your kind of challenge, then
we may have a job for you. Among the elite, the distinct,
the proud...the Special Forces.
Special Forces involves the most rigorous, intensive
and challenging training you'll ever tackle. You'll
learn guerrilla warfare techniques and strategic intelligence
collection. Field exercises will include aerial resupply,
extraction, small boat operations, infiltration, raids,
ambushes and intelligence collection.
ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH?
Special Forces training is the most difficult training
challenge the Army offers. So you've got to be good
to begin with because training builds on what you already
know.
Special Forces requires raw guts, unwavering determination
and dedication to duty. The stuff highly-motivated professionals
are made of. Because only the best wear the distinctive
emblems of the Special Forces. Do you have what it takes
to wear the Green Beret?
NO PLACE FOR AMATEURS
Special Forces soldiers are the Army's cutting edge.
Only the most technically proficient and highly-motivated
non-commissioned officers will ever wear the Special
Forces tab. If you want to be challenged like you've
never been challenged before, Special Operations is
the field for you.
Special Operations Sergeants must be experts in their
individual MOS plus other related duties and specialties
important to their far-reaching missions. If being a
technical expert weren't enough, the Special Forces
soldier must be able to teach these related skills to
the people with whom he works. In the jungle, the desert
or on a frozen glacier. Wherever duty calls.
SPECIALIZED TRAINING
If you qualify, you'll be eligible to receive additional
training in underwater operations (SCUBA), military
freefall (parachuting), language training and jungle
warfare, just to name a few. As a Special Forces soldier,
you'll also be eligible to attend ranger, pathfinder,
sniper and other joint service schools.
Special Forces places emphasis not only on unconventional
tactics, but also on knowledge of conventional light
infantry doctrine and low intensity conflict. Missions
can include participation in waterborne, desert, jungle,
mountain or artic operations.
Special Forces is not just a challenge, it's a way
of life. As a highly skilled, superbly trained professional
the word "impossible" isn't in your vocabulary.
We dare you to dare. In every possible terrain, under
every imaginable condition.
