Abstract

For 20 months I had the honor to be the Sergeant Major in a Special Forces Company. A SF Company consists of six Operational Detachments (Alpha) or ODAs and one Operational Detachment (Bravo). This story will unveil the good, bad, and sad times of 92 Green Berets during a deployment to Colombia in support of Operation Willing Spirit (OWS) and a deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom Caribbean-Central America (OEF-CCA)
