10TH SPECIAL FORCES GROUP

The 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), also known as 10th SFG(A), was activated in 1952 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, making it one of the first Special Forces units in the U.S. Army. Originally focused on operations in Europe during the Cold War, the unit was stationed in Germany before relocating its headquarters to Fort Carson, Colorado, with a forward presence maintained in Germany. The 10th SFG has participated in numerous operations, including counterterrorism, unconventional warfare, and foreign internal defense missions throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The unit played prominent roles in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, exemplifying its motto: "De Oppresso Liber"—To Free the Oppressed.
