    The commanding general of U.S. Army South, Maj. Gen. Simeon G. Trombitas, hosted the 25th annual Special Forces command birthday celebration, here, April 13. Special Forces soldiers, both active duty and retired, from across the installation were in attendance for the celebration. The first Special Forces unit in the Army was formed in 1952, at Fort Bragg, N.C. As a result of renewed emphasis on special operations in the 1980s, the Special Forces Branch was established as a basic branch of the Army effective April 9, 1987, by General Orders No. 35, June 19, 1987.
