Fort Carson Units - 10th Special Forces (Airborne)
U.S. Army Special Forces Command (Airborne) has evolved through a spirited
heritage - spanning three centuries and threading itself through numerous
organizations.
Its soldiers trace their lineage to the 1st Special Service Force
(Devil 's Brigade) and derive their heritage from elements of the Office
of Strategic Services (Jedburghs, Operational Groups and Detachment IO
1).
Special Forces soldiers have earned the title of "Quiet Professional."
They have been involved in peacetime operations and armed conflicts around
the world over the past five decades.
In addition to service in Vietnam, Special Forces were recently
employed in Panama during Operation Just Cause and during Operations Desert
Shield and Storm.
Desert Storm Commander, Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, described Special
Forces as the "eyes and ears" of conventional forces and as the "glue
that held coalition forces together."
Special Forces soldiers continue to serve at home and abroad providing
humanitarian assistance and assisting with foreign internal defense in
friendly foreign nations. Recent humanitarian assistance missions include
Promote Liberty, Provide Comfort, Sea Angel, Guantanamo, Cuba, Hurricane
Andrew, and Restore Hope. They continue to willingly undertake difficult
missions in order to help those who are less fortunate. They are quiet
professionals, living by their motto "De Oppresso Liber" - To Free the
Oppressed.
On November 27, 1990, the U.S. Army 1st Special Operations Command
was redesignated the U.S. Army Special Forces Command (Airborne). Its
mission: to train, validate, and prepare Special Forces units to deploy
and execute operational requirements for the war-fighting commanders-in-chief.
Special Forces Command exercises command and control over five
active component groups. Additionally, it exercises training oversight
of two Army National Guards groups.
Each Special Forces Group is regionally oriented to support one
of the war fighting commanders-in-chief (CINCs). Special Forces soldiers
routinely deploy in support of the CINCs of U.S. European Command, U.S.
Atlantic Command, U.S. Pacific Command, U.S. Southern Command and the
U.S. Central Command
