U.S. Special Forces - "Green Berets" | Military Motivation

We thank all the soldiers who are defending their homeland!

THE GREEN BERET
The first Special Forces unit was formed in 1952, under the U.S. Army Psychological Warfare Division. The initial 10th Special Forces Group was led by Col. Aaron Bank, who was involved in several sensitive operations during World War II, including an operation to capture or assassinate Adolf Hitler. Bank is often referred to as the father of Special Forces.

In 1954, Special Forces Soldiers adopted the iconic Green Beret as a means to distinguish themselves from the conventional Army. Their official and exclusive right to the beret was not recognized until 1962, when John F. Kennedy ordered that they be made a “symbol of excellence, a badge of courage, a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom.”

Kennedy himself is credited with establishing Special Forces as a more mainstream operational Army unit. The John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center is named in his honor.
