[QUOTE="dbenn35649, post: 43646, member: 5714"] Ok, no ?offence? meant, the man who put this site together has done an excellent job, however. It?s gosh darn embarrassing when even the POTUS our Commander and Chief mixes it up, mostly because the term Special Forces is thrown around so frequently and without much thought of what it means. Geronimo you are correct, CAG is part of the 1st Special Forces Regiment, which also includes, the active duty 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 10th Special Forces Groups. There are also the 19th and 20th National Guard Groups. At one time anyone, not holding an 18 MOS (Special Forces Military Occupational Specialty) in ?CAG? had to go through the Q-course, minus the selection and assessment. With the OPTEMPO these days I doubt it still applies. So great site but for those not in the know it adds to the confusion. We were briefed this summer at the Special Forces Association convention that the CDR of United States Army Special Forces Command (USASFC) has requested that we all start referring to all Special Forces organizations with the caveat ?The Green Berets? to start clarifying who is whom in the U.S. military Special Operations circle. Again, not punching anyone in the nose, just trying to get the word out there. VR, Bennett [/QUOTE]
