The third Special Forces Group Airborne remains the war horse of the Special Forces Regiment. Forged in fire, this group is capable of any task the nation requires of it. Emerging from an era of fire-based and fogs and into an era defined by vigilance, preparation, patience and tenacity. This will require the constant development of cutting edge learning and technology, as well as techniques, tactics, and procedural development and integration, based on the needs of the force and the evolving threats to our country. We train and develop soft operators, enablers, and support personnel who will serve in a diverse operational environment, conducting a broad range of operations in the most challenging environments. Third Group provides a scalable and self-sustaining Special Operations Capability, operating by, with and through partnered forces to address our nation's most complex problems. Third Group is always training to answer the call of our nation. At any time, when ordered by sent comm in Africa, soldiers located in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and countries in Africa conduct a multitude of missions. Third Group is the nation's force of choice for building partner capacity, employing your regular indigenous forces, conducting sensitive activities, and crisis response in the sent comm in Africa-AOR. These complex and long-term efforts help spread security and stability throughout the countries and partner forces we work with. The group's headquarters, located at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, have served several combat tours in support of the global war on terrorism, as the nucleus of combined joint special operations task force Afghanistan. As combat operations in Iraq commenced, third Group was called upon to provide critical support with a Special Forces battalion for three years, and a Special Forces troop for almost all of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Nudon. Third Special Forces Group's contributions and commitment to freeing the oppressed are as strong as the Green Berets who built its reputation. Developed on the continent of Africa, our resourcefulness and ability to operate in austere environments, with little guidance, made third Group soldiers effective when the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began. The last 16 years of war have provided third Special Forces Group with a wealth of experience across the full spectrum of Special Operations. Experience we are ready to share with our African partners. Our ultimate goal is to help Africans solve African issues. It's truly an honor to be a part of this effort. As the most combat deployed group in the Special Forces regiment, third Special Forces Group Airborne is proven, ready and confident.
