A Long The Way.

When you graduate from Airborne School you will be sent to the 30-day Special Operations Preparation Course taught at Fort Bragg. This course will help you prepare for the Special Forces Assessment and Selection course. It focuses on physical training and one of the most important skills a SF soldier can have-land navigation. This course does not guarantee you will pass the Special Forces Assessment/Assignment and Selection (SFAS).

Special Forces Assessment/Assignment and Selection
This is 24 days of training like you’ve never experienced. And it’s all about survival. Your intelligence, agility and resourcefulness will all be tested. If you make it, you can continue on to the SF Qualification Course.

Special Forces Qualification Course
The SFQC consists of five phases (II-VI). If you complete this training, you will be a Special Forces Soldier, one of the Army’s experts in Unconventional Warfare.

Individual Skills - This phase is roughly 13 weeks and includes training in Small Unit Tactics, SF Tactics, Survival Skills and Language and Cultural Training.

MOS Qualification - You will receive MOS training for your Special Forces MOS. This phase is about 15 weeks long and includes additional language training, SF Common tasks, Advanced Special Operations Techniques (ASOT), and Interagency Operations.

The Special Forces has six enlisted Military Occupational Specialties (MOS’s):18B - SF Weapons Sergeant; 18C - SF Engineer Sergeant; 18D - SF Medical Sergeant; 18E - SF Communications Sergeant; 18F - SF Assistant Operations and Intelligence Sergeant; and 18Z Special Forces Operations Sergeant.

Language Training - Based your language skills, you will advance through language training to get ready to serve in the SF. Additionally, while receiving language training you will be trained in warrior skills, such as Combatives. This phase may take up to 14 weeks.

Collective Training - You will hone your SF skills in a realistic Unconventional Warfare (UW) practical exercise. This phase takes about 4 weeks.

SERE Course - In the extremely realistic Survival, Escape, Resistance, and Evasion (SERE) course, you will learn combat survival tactics.

Live Environment Training
As an SF Soldier, you might receive training that completely immerses you in another culture. You’ll learn to be fluent in that country’s language, customs and traditions, becoming a virtual citizen of that country.

If you still think you have what it takes to join the Army’s elite Green Beret, then its time to contact an Army Recruiter and ask about the Special Forces Contract.
