- Dear Reader,
- The United States Army Special Forces are on the razor's edge of U.S.
Foreign Policy, leading in the defense of this nation by exporting violence
and diplomacy with the same force package. Experienced Special Forces Soldiers
are capable of transitioning from war to peace and back in response to rapidly
changing operational environments. They understand that they represent the
nation and must be able to explain democracy and liberty to people who have
only known tyranny.
-
- Your country needs you. The demand for Special Forces Soldiers is
tremendous. It is more important than ever for Americans like you to volunteer
and take an active role in the war on terrorism. The assessment, selection and
training process is long and demanding. The pool of qualified individuals
within the active Army is not sufficient to support the demand for qualified
Special Forces Soldiers. In order to meet the demand, U.S. Army Special Forces
are now accepting civilian volunteers who think they have what it takes to be
a Special Forces Warrior.
-
- If you dream of becoming a Special Forces Soldier, you'll find many tips
in this book to turn that dream into an action plan. It's designed to help you
achieve your dream of serving our country as one of the world's most elite and
well-trained Soldiers. If you have ever wondered what type of preparation it
takes just to enter the Special Forces training pipeline, you'll find what
level of dedication many of our candidates give to this effort and why many
are unsuccessful. Whether you are currently a civilian, or a soldier serving
in a conventional unit, you can be successful. Make a decision and commit to
becoming a Special Forces Warrior.

- To your success and the defense of this great nation,
