MOS-18E

**MOS 18E – Special Forces Communications Sergeant** is a U.S. Army military occupational specialty, forming a critical part of the Special Forces (Green Berets) operational detachments since the 1980s. Established as part of the broader 18-series Special Forces MOS structure, the 18E was created to provide expert communications capabilities—handling secure, tactical, and strategic communications for small, highly mobile teams operating worldwide. 18Es have served in every major U.S. conflict since their inception, including Panama, the Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq, often operating behind enemy lines to coordinate missions and call for support. Their advanced technical training and adaptability have made them indispensable for successful Special Forces operations in both conventional and unconventional warfare environments.
