Soldiers assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) know that competent Special Operations Forces cannot be created after emergencies occur, necessitating hard and realistic training wile at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, April 5, 2026. For 3rd SFG(A), the ‘creation of competent, fully mission capable units takes time. Employment of fully capable special operations capability on short notice requires highly trained and constantly available SOF units in peacetime.’ (U.S. Army video by Sgt. Brianna Ledezma-Gomez)
