So Ryan hated CrossFit with a burning passion and that makes this that much funnier. I’ve never met someone who was so anti functional fitness but was in as good of shape as he was. WOD must be completed in sunglasses and a ball cap

Well deserved for the Veterans of the Ghost Army. Modern Psychological Operations traces its origins to the efforts of these heroes who played such a pivotal role in WWII.

Secret Soldiers Inflatable tanks, soundtracks and fake radio transmissions were some of the deceptive tactics used by “Ghost Army” members during World War II. For years, they received minimal recognition. 📺 This week, that changes . . .

Want to know the caliber of People we have in Army Special Operations? Take 35 seconds to listen as our commander, Maj. Gen. John Brennan, reflects on the type of People we have in this community and "why ARSOF / 1st SF CMD is the place to serve."

Two #GreenBerets went on a secret & dangerous mission in the heart of #NYC this week... Okay, not secret or dangerous... but it WAS pretty cool that we joined @katebarstool to discuss how 1st SFC and @USSOCOM are using the #IndigenousApproach and #SOFcast to tackle tough topics.

Technology is helpful, but a foundation in the basics of small-unit tactics can't be overlooked. Our Soldiers are in more than 70 countries on any given day, building relationships, acting as sensors and influencers, and enabling JIIM partners. 📸1SFG & RTA @ JRTC

#OTD in 1987, the #SpecialForces branch was officially established as a basic branch of the Army by General Order Number 35. By establishing SF as a branch, the Army better standardized and professionalized the Green Berets. More info about SF History⬇️

One of our own recently had a chance to share his insights with @MensHealthMag . Bottom line? The holistic approach is the best approach. Physical fitness, sleep hygiene, mental health, and family & spiritual wellness all matter equally over a demanding career in the @USArmy .
