    New male recruits to the Army who have requested to join the Special Forces first begin training at Fort Benning, Georgia. (All United States Special Forces units are currently closed to females.) This consists of basic training and Infantry training combined in a 14 week-long course. After graduation, soldiers must attend and pass the three-week Airborne school before progressing to the Special Operations Preparation Course (SOPC) at Ft. Bragg.

    SOPC's purpose is to prepare SF candidates for Phase I, Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), an evaluation that lasts 24 days. Upon successful completion of this phase, recruits usually return to their previous units to await being admitted to a class in the three-phase Special Forces Qualification Course ("Q Course"). There recruits are assigned to the 1st Special Warfare Training Group (Airborne) at Fort Bragg and required to participate in a demanding three-week Small Unit Tactics course. This course is designed to familiarize non-combat MOS soldiers with basic patrolling, orienteering and woodland skills. Afterwards, recruits of rank Staff Sergeant (E-6) and below attend the Primary Leadership Development Course/Basic Non-Commissioned Officer's Course at Camp Mackall before officially beginning Phase II, a five-week block of instruction in Small Unit Tactics.
