It is one of the most decorated special operations units in the United States military. The 5th SFG(A) saw extensive action in the Vietnam War. Today, 5th Group is primarily responsible for operations within the CENTCOM area of responsibility, as part of the Special Operations Command, Central (SOCCENT). The 5th SFG(A) traces its lineage to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 1st Special Service Force, a combined Canadian-American organization which was constituted on 5 July 1942. It was activated four days later on 9 July at Fort William Henry Harrison, Montana. During World War II, the 1st Special Service Force was disbanded on 5 December 1944 in Villeneuve-Loubet, France. 5th Group was constituted on 15 April 1960, concurrently consolidated with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 5th Ranger Infantry Battalion (activated 1 September 1943). The consolidated unit was redesignated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 5th Special Forces Group, 1st Special Forces. Organic elements were constituted on 8 September 1961. 5th Group was reactivated 21 September 1961 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. On 1 October 2005, the unit was redesignated as the 5th Special Forces Group, 1st Special Forces Regiment. By 13 September 2001, the 5th Special Forces Group was ordered to stand up a forward headquarters to conduct operations in Afghanistan. Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) 555 and 595, both 12-man teams, plus Air Force combat controllers, were the second and third groups of Task Force Dagger to enter Afghanistan. They followed seven members of the CIA's Special Activities Division, led byGary Schroen who formed the Northern Afghanistan Liaison Team and had entered the country nine days after the 9/11 attack. In the first operation of its kind, ODA 555 and 595 were flown from a former Soviet airbase, now named the Karshi-Khanabad Air Base (nicknamed K2 by the Special Forces), in Uzbekistan more than 300 kilometers (190 mi) across the 16,000 feet (4,900 m)Hindu Kush mountains in zero-visibility conditions by two SOAR MH-47E Chinook helicopters. The Chinooks were refueled in-flight three times during the 11 hour mission, establishing a new world record for combat rotorcraft missions at the time. Weeks after Sept. 11, as the ruins of the twin towers smoldered at ground zero, the United States Special Forces responded in Afghanistan to begin the war against the Taliban. On Wednesday, a ceremony was held to dedicate a statue called “De Oppresso Liber” dedicated to the U.S. troops who responded in those weeks following 9/11. The statue was moved to the newly-opened Liberty Park where it now stands guard over the attack site. The 18-foot bronze statue depicts a Green Beret soldier on horseback. Its name in Latin means “to liberate from oppressors.” Mark Nutsch, a Green Beret who was the captain in charge of Operational Detachment Alpha 595—now known as the “horse soldiers”—was among those who spoke at the ceremony. “We had horses in an attack against tanks, rockets and machines,” he said. Given the mountainous Northern Afghanistan terrain, the Afghan tribes provided horses for the men—most of whom had never been on horseback before—to navigate the territory. In the age of modern warfare, it is remarkable that the initial response to the worst attack on American soil was fought in the same cavalry style as the forefathers of the country. Created by Kentucky based artist Douwe Blumberg, the monument is unofficially known as the “Horse Soldier Statue.” Originally commemorated by Vice President Joe Biden and Army Lt. Gen. John Mulholland on Veterans Day in 2011, the statue moved to a temporary location near the base of One World Trade Center in 2014.. - The first number refer to Group - Ex.: ODA 525 "0" refers to 10 Special Forces Group (example : ODA 074,...). "1" refers to 1st Special Forces Group (example : ODA 172,...) "3" refers to 3rd Special Forces Group (example : ODA 373,...) "5" refers to 5th Special forces Group (examples : ODA 525, ODA 555,...) "7" refers to 7th Special Forces Group (example : ODA 774,...) - second is a combination between Battalion & Company (see below) - Ex. : ODA 525 ////////Alpha ////////// Bravo /////////// Charlie [= Company] 1 = 1st Battalion / 2 = 1st Battalion / 3 =1st Battalion 4 =2nd Battalion / 5 =2 nd Battalion / 6 =2nd Battalion 7 = 3rd Battalion / 8 = 3rd Battalion / 9=3rd Battalion - third number is Team - Ex. : ODA 525 0 = ODB 1 = team 1 (ODA) 2 = team 2 (ODA) 3 = team 3 (ODA) 4 = team 4 (halo capabilities - ODA) 5 = team 5 (scuba/combat diver capabilites - ODA). And at this point, you can also differenciate ODA and ODB : ODA = Operatioonal Detachment Alpha / A-team. It's the basic SF unit. ODB = Operational Detachment Beta /B Detachment / B team / SFOD-B. It's SF company HQs. the last number is always "0" ODC = provides command and control, and staff planning and supervision for SF battalion operations and administration.
