Special Forces Assessment and Selection

Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) is a rigorous program used by the U.S. Army to evaluate candidates seeking to join the Special Forces. It assesses physical fitness, mental resilience, problem-solving skills, and teamwork capabilities over several weeks. The selection process includes various tasks like long-distance marches, obstacle courses, and evaluation of leadership in challenging scenarios. Success indicates a candidate's potential to serve in highly specialized units that conduct unconventional warfare and operations. Ultimately, SFAS aims to identify individuals who possess the unique qualities required for the demands of Special Forces missions.
