special forces operations in the 1990s

Worked extremely hard 90

The end of the Cold War brought numerous cuts on the part of the American forces with him. Thus, from 15 July 1991, the 10th SFG deducted from the Bavarian town of Bad Tölz and set back in the States.
But the world situation changed not only to the good and then Special Forces were shortly afterwards again on training missions in Somalia (1993) and Haiti (1994). Shortly after NATO had decided to intervene in Bosnia, there were Green Berets of the 10th SFG in the country. Further training and combat operations worldwide followed, including in Kosovo 1999th Here, the Special Forces were mainly with Fernspäh and FAC missions, but also with consulting work for the Albanian KLA in use.

Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan 2001 -?)

Long before the terrorist attacks of 11 September the Green Berets were in Afghanistan. However, these were numerically weak, but even then had the task I make loading arrest. With the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon, the man power, however, changed dramatically. Mainly come and join the members of the 5th SFG used.
In the first stage of the Afghanistan campaign, only a few members of the American special forces were deployed. Sun was sent to several A-Teams for the various groups of the Northern Alliance to train and support them in the fight. Most got the A-Team also supported by the Air Force Combat Controller, which coordinated air support. So they allowed the initially surprising rise and subsequent defeat of the Taliban.
After this first phase, the number of personnel increased in the country, so that the Green Berets had to actively intervene in the fighting. So were e.g. Green Berets in the heavy fighting in the prison revolt in the fort Qila-i-Janghi at Mazar-i-Sharif and in Operation "Anaconda" involved. Since the Taliban and al Qaeda fighters had often hidden in caves, now had to try the Green Berets as a tunnel rat. That not everything went according to plan shows the death of 3 Green Berets of the 3rd Battalion, 5th SFG. She died on 5 December 2001 when errant throw on a 1,000 kg bomb from a B-52. On 4 January then another Green Beret came under enemy fire. But even outside of combat operations, the Special Forces are used, they formed eg the newly formed Afghan National Army, and helped with the reconstruction of the country.
