We have provided numerous resources to assist the Special Forces units since our inception to insure units are adequately manned and equipped for the defense of the United States and by supporting the establishment of the Special Forces Branch as the premiere combat force within the United States Army. Historically the SFA has provided manpower, monies, pamphlets, leaflets, and personal beliefs to educate both members and the public regarding the history, present contributions, and future development of the United States Army Special Forces. They also participate in fund raisers and events that recognize “Wounded Warriors” from the Special Operations community. Our Chapters sponsor numerous local events in their area and also donate significant amounts to our current charitable funds at National. The SFA played an instrumental part in the establishment of the Green Beret Foundation (GBF-501c3), who supports post 9/11 Green Berets and the Special Forces Charitable Trust (SFCT- 501c3), who supports the Green Berets and members of the SFA. We strive to perpetuate the SF traditions and commemorate fittingly the memory of all Special Forces soldiers who have given their lives in defense of the free world. Our Chapters work to unite fraternally all persons who are now or have been assigned to the United States Army most elite force, the “Green Berets”. The current structure includes 90 Chapters spread throughout the United States and overseas. All graduates are encouraged to become a part the SFA, the voice of Special Forces. Membership is increasing daily with each graduating class of SFQC. The majority of the memberships are Vietnam veterans that played an instrumental part in the award of the “Green Beret” headgear worn by today’s soldiers. The SFA is a 501c(19) Veterans Service Organization whose membership is restricted to qualified “Green Berets” personnel who have contributed significantly to the support of Special Forces, Montagnards, widows of Green Berets, and Honorary members. It was incorporated under the laws of North Carolina in 1971 as the “Special Forces Decade Association”, and in 1976, the word Decade was dropped. The Special Forces Association (SFA) was founded at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 1964 as the SF Decader Club. The Special Forces Association serves as the voice for the Special Forces Community Perpetuates Special Forces Traditions and Brotherhood Advances the Public Image of Special Forces and Promotes the General Welfare of the Special Forces Community.
