The Green Berets are among the elite of the US Army. Here is what it takes to join and why it’s so hard to make the cut: Traditionally, the main mission of Army Special Forces personnel is to work with and train indigenous forces. So not only do Green Berets become experts in land warfare and airborne operations, they must also have foreign language and cultural skills. Army Special Forces personnel also conduct direct actions that encompass raids, hostage rescue, reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, and counter-insurgency. This requires individual intelligence and integrity along with outstanding weapons proficiency, physical fitness, and tactical and technical skills.
Trainees Have to Be Selected First
The first step along the path to wearing the Green Beret is attending the two-week Special Operations Preparation Course. This is an indoctrination phase before a 24-day course called Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS).
Trainees are selected for further training based on displaying the potential that they can accomplish the various Special Forces missions.
