1:10 Special Forces Group

The 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), commonly referred to as 1/10 SFG(A), was activated in 1952, making it one of the original Special Forces units in the U.S. Army. Initially stationed in Bad Tölz, Germany, the battalion played a key role in unconventional warfare and counterinsurgency operations during the Cold War, focusing on missions behind the Iron Curtain. Over the decades, 1/10 SFG(A) has participated in numerous operations, including humanitarian missions in Africa and combat operations in the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Now headquartered at Panzer Kaserne near Stuttgart, Germany, 1/10 SFG(A) continues to support U.S. and NATO objectives across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
