The United States Army Special Forces, commonly referred to as the Green Berets, are some of the most capable operators the U.S. military has at its disposal.
And while they do most of what you'd expect from special operators, this special operations unit cares just as much about an operator’s ability to speak a
foreign language as how hard they can kick in a door.
And for good reason - These operators are the tip of the spear for America's foreign policy, deploying in remote, high-risk areas for long periods of time, all while
blending into the population in some of the most stringent and difficult of conditions. They can be briefing an ambassador on policy issues in the morning, and
training freedom fighters in the jungle the following night.
With that said, what sets the Green Berets apart from the rest of U.S. Special Operations? Why are they referred to as the “quiet professionals”? And what does it
take to join this highly revered and elite community? Keep reading, and we’re going to answer all those questions for you, plus much more.
