The primary group responsible for conducting Alliance/NORTHSTAR operations was Joint Task Force 6 (JTF-6). JTF-6 operatives received training at the U.S. Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, NC., and were subsequently deployed in the domestic field. Of the over 4,000 soldiers involved in JTF-6 in 1992, only a small portion were active-duty, including at least 50 members of the Special Forces, while the majority were culled from National Guard units.
