Special Forces Recruiting: An Overview of Current Procedures and Issues

Abstract

The research examines the Special Forces (SF) recruiting process, from setting and allocating the mission to processing and scheduling applicants for the Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) program. Data were obtained through interviews and surveys of SF recruiters and interviews of key staff members at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS) and the Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM). Descriptions of the components of the recruiter's job and the steps of the missioning process provide background and context for ARI's larger SF recruiting research project. In addition, the issues and suggestions raised by SF recruiters will help guide efforts to streamline and improve the overall system.
