The United States Army Special Forces, more commonly known as the Green Berets, are elite special operations troops tracing the origins officially to the early 1950s, and unofficially further back to unconventional Allied forces operating during WWII. Since Vietnam, they have served in every military engagement the United States has found itself in, as well as unofficial clandestine operations around the globe. Today, their primary missions are unconventional warfare, counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, special reconnaissance, direct action and foreign internal defence in hostile environments around the world. Even as the United States shifts towards great power competition, the mission of the Green Beret remains just as important as ever.
Our story focuses not on the entire US Army Special Forces, but rather one team of Green Berets. Operational Detachment Alpha 1322 is a team of Green Berets in the 1st Special Forces Group based at Joint Base Lewis-McCord in Washington. Officially assigned to operations in Asia and the Pacific, they have spent the better part of the last two decades primarily deploying to the Middle East instead. With the official pullout of American forces from Afghanistan and a shift towards great power competition by the American military, the 1st Special Forces Group in 2022 finds themselves once again pivoting primarily towards the Asian theater. Here, they'll face such enemies as the ever present threat of global jihad, drug smugglers, Russian private military contractors, and possibly even the armed forces of the People's Republic of China or North Korea. All in a day's work to protect America's allies, and keep America's place of power in the world as increasingly belligerent rivals try to carve away at their influence. This is the story of the men and women who carry out some of the most dangerous and most important missions carried out by the American military, and their brotherhood forged on the battlefield.
