They call themselves the quiet professionals, but we know them as Green Berets. Their official title is U.S. Army Special Forces (SF), and they are one of the most elite fighting groups in the world.

Their mission is unconventional warfare — taking small SF teams to train and lead guerrilla forces.

SF soldiers work together in a 12-man "A-Team," with each man holding a specific job: The ranking officer is the team leader, the weapons sergeant knows just about every weapon in the world, the communications sergeant tees up ordnance or extract, and the medics can take lives as quickly as saving them.

It may seem crazy to send only 12 guys into a hostile country, but it's not crazy when they are Special Forces.

The US Army Special Forces are known for their exceptional skill and professionalism in modern war.



Alongside the CIA, they were the first Americans on the ground in Afghanistan only one month after 9/11.



There they linked up with the Northern Alliance and brought Hamid Karzai into Kabul.
