A Company, 1/19 Special Forces Group
The Washington Army National Guard's A Company, 1/19th Special Forces Group are the real A-Team. These silent professionals are always on a real-world mission or training for one. Their missions are conducted worldwide and are sometimes classified. The training, dedication and professionalism of these citizen soldiers is second to none. Their missions range from counterterrorism and unconventional warfare to humanitarian missions. They also stand ready to protect lives and property in the Evergreen State during state emergencies.
COUNTERTERRORISM
Special Forces are often deployed to preclude, preempt and resolve terrorist incidents abroad. They prevent, deter and respond to terrorist activities and train other nations' military in the basics of fighting terrorism.
DIRECT ACTION
Direct Action missions are short duration strikes that are used when Special Forces want to seize, capture, recover or destroy enemy weapons and information or recover designated personnel or material.
FOREIGN INTERNAL DEFENSE
This mission is used to organize, assist and train the military and national defense forces of foreign governments to protect their citizens from aggressors.
SPECIAL RECONNAISSANCE
These intelligence-gathering activities monitor as much about the enemy's movement and operations as possible.
UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE
Special Forces have long employed the use of Unconventional Warfare (UW), a.k.a. guerilla warfare, to train, equip, advise and assist forces in enemy-held or controlled territory.
