| Special Forces groups are organized in small teams of 12 men—a.k.a. Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha (SFODA). A typical Green Beret Team structure usually consists of a commander and detachment commander, plus 5 pairs of specialists. For more information, beyond the descriptions in this manual, go to your America's Army\System\ folder and run SF_MOS_Videos.exe to view 7 information videos about each MOS. These teams can change according to the type of mission. In America’s Army, A-Teams use the M4A1 SOPMOD but weapons can vary depending on mission requirements.
