The United States Special Forces Coalition or U.S.S.F. is currently one of the most used units in the war in Afghanistan. They can fight anywhere anytime under any condition. They are the definition of tier one operators. They can even go undercover and live with the Taliban if needed. The weapons they use are any weapons the U.S. has and if needed they can import clone Chinese or Bulgarian or Yugoslavian or other middle-eastern, eastern bloc or Asian clone AK-47s for covert missions.

The U.S.S.F. has been around since the Vietnam war when John F. Kennedy thought we need an elite soldier of the future and this is much more than what he initially expected. Now they work on missions they arent even allowed to talk about with civillians. Much of them is shrouded in mystery, but these warriors are the true unapreciated American Heroes.

This is a good book. If you are wanting more information about the army read this book. It tells alot about the green berets and what they do.
