Following successful completion of Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) and any other prerequisite courses, selected Soldiers will be scheduled to attend Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC). SFQC focuses on core Special Forces tactical competencies in support of surgical strike and special warfare; Career Management Field 18 MOS classification; Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE); language proficiency; and regional cultural understanding.

The Special Forces career management field (CMF) 18 includes positions concerned with the employment of highly specialized elements to accomplish specifically directed missions in times of peace and war. Many of these missions are conducted at times when employment of conventional military forces is not feasible or is not considered to be in the best interest of the United States. Training for and participation in these missions are arduous, somewhat hazardous, and often sensitive in nature.
