FORT CARSON, Colo. – 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) hosted a combined training exercise with the 1st Battalion, 4th Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) to enhance their advisory capabilities at Fort Carson, Colorado, Sept. 26 to Oct. 5, 2022.
SFABs are specialized units with the core mission to conduct training, advising, assisting, enabling and accompanying allied and partner nations. Special Forces goals align with SFAB and it creates a combined partnership that allows both parties to be more effective and efficient in accomplishing their missions.
“We need to be able to look at how to export any of our capabilities into an advisory role working by, with, and through people,” said a team sergeant with 10th SFG (A).
During the first five days of training, the 10th SFG (A) Operators advised and assisted the SFAB to improve their proficiency in terrain modeling, day and night tactical movement, movement under fire, and communication. The key importance of this training is to enhance the capacity in advising roles with partner allies.
“Because of the wide array of support military occupational specialties (MOS) and experiences we have, we are able to create lesson plans that teach them the same capability and be able to employ it, said a team sergeant with 10th SFG (A).
Members of 10th SFG (A) and the SFAB cooperated in a culminating exercise that showcased the potency of their partnership. At the beginning of the operation, 10th SFG (A) and the SFAB reconnaissance team members performed a night infiltration operation and spent the first two days observing the targeted location and reporting activities of the opposing force.
On the final day of the exercise, the main body of 10th SFG (A) and the SFAB infiltrated the location and performed a close quarter battle. After the raid, both groups completed an exfiltration via UH-60 Blackhawk to a different site where 10th SFG and the SFAB medics performed aid to a simulated wounded soldier.
Throughout the exercise Green Berets assessed the SFAB to enhance their capabilities and form an everlasting partnership. This allowed the SFAB Soldiers to amplify their standard operating procedures for any future deployments.
“The training provided my advisory team with a brilliant look at tactics, techniques and procedures that have been used by the Special Forces groups,” said a SFAB team leader. “The training event was mirrored after a European theater situation that put both of our teams in a partnership role, one advising the other.”
