United States Army Special Forces selection and training

<p>The Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC) or, informally, the Q Course is the initial formal training program for entry into the <a href="/facts/United_States_Army/WACWBEK9">United States Army</a> <a href="/facts/United_States_Army_Special_Forces/jT2G7KWy">Special Forces</a>. Phase I of the Q Course is <a href="/facts/Special_Forces_Assessment_and_Selection/WtuhTWUa">Special Forces Assessment and Selection</a> (SFAS). A candidate who is selected at the conclusion of SFAS will enable a candidate to continue to the next of the four phases. If a candidate successfully completes all phases they will graduate as a <a href="/facts/Special_Forces_Tab/CfNhACFX">Special Forces qualified</a> soldier and then, generally, be assigned to a 12-men Operational Detachment "A" (ODA), commonly known as an "A team." The length of the Q Course changes depending on the applicant's primary job field within Special Forces and their assigned foreign language capability but will usually last between 56 and 95 weeks.
