7th Special Forces Group

The 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), also known as "The Green Berets," was activated in 1960, inheriting the lineage of earlier special operations units. Originally focused on operations in Latin America, the unit has played a pivotal role in counterinsurgency, counter-narcotics, and foreign internal defense throughout Central and South America. Over the decades, the 7th SFG(A) has also deployed to hotspots worldwide, including significant involvement in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. Renowned for its expertise in unconventional warfare, the group remains a critical component of U.S. Army Special Forces, specializing in relationships and missions within the Western Hemisphere.
