The box description of the Green Berets: The United States Army Special Forces was formed in 1952 and was commanded by the now legendary Colonel Aaron Banks. In the early days these units wore the trademark “Green Beret” but it was not until 1961 that it was officially approved by President John F. Kennedy. Today the Green Berets are a breed apart. A highly skilled, mature, and superbly trained soldier. Green Berets are unquestionably among the world’s unconventional warfare experts. They are teachers first, and fighters of uncommon physical caliber.
