Special Forces (SF) commonly referred to, as “Green Berets” are strategic, multipurpose forces capable of rapid response to various contingencies throughout the world. Their mission is to organize, train, equip, and direct Indigenous Forces in unconventional warfare and foreign internal defense. For this reason, they possess foreign language and orientation skills.

Most SF Soldiers work on a 12-man Operation Detachment “A” (SFODA), sometimes called an A-Team. Special Forces Soldiers are either on a real-world mission, or training for one. Their missions are conducted worldwide and usually classified. They range from Combating Terrorism to Humanitarian Efforts. Because Special Forces teams can be the first point of contact in negotiations with foreign or guerrilla parties, they must keep the highest level of professionalism at all times.

To be eligible to play as a Special Forces Soldier in America's Army, you must complete the Special Forces Assessment and Selection Process (SFAS). SFAS consists of both the Weapons Identification training, and Escape & Evasion training maps. Additionally, you must have 15 honor to play as a Special Forces soldier.

If you do not complete SFAS, and choose to play on a SF map, you will only be allowed to play as an Indigenous Forces (IF) Soldier. As stated above, SF specifically train and fight with Indigenous Forces. Therefore either as an SF or IF Soldier you are experiencing what it is to be in the world of U.S. Army Special Forces.
