As discussed in previous sections, the U.S. Army Special Forces (SF) conducts a variety of missions such as special reconnaissance, counter terrorism, direct action, unconventional warfare, or foreign internal defense. Many of these missions will overlap, therefore the map classifications below are generalizations since a direct action mission against terrorists can fall under both the direct action and counter-terrorism categories. Below are descriptions of the missions that SFODA’s can perform. You can read more about missions at AmericasArmy.com.

SPECIAL RECONAISSANCE

These intelligence-gathering activities monitor as much about the enemy's movement and operations as possible.

DIRECT ACTION

Direct Action missions are short duration strikes that are used when Special Forces want to seize, capture, recover or destroy enemy weapons and information or recover designated personnel or material.

UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE

Special Forces are often deployed to preclude, preempt and resolve terrorist incidents abroad. They prevent, deter and respond to terrorist activities and train other nations' military in the basics of fighting terrorism.

FOREIGN INTERNAL DEFENSE

This mission is used to organize, assist and train the military and national defense forces of foreign governments to protect their citizens from aggressors.

COUNTER-TERRORISM

Special Forces are often deployed to preclude, preempt and resolve terrorist incidents abroad. They prevent, deter and respond to terrorist activities and train other nations' military in the basics of fighting terrorism.
