Branch
The U.S. Army's Special Forces Branch was established on
April 9, 1987.
"Department of the Army General Order No. 35. ARMY SPECIAL
FORCES BRANCH. Pursuant to the authority contained in Title 10,
United States Code, section 3063(a)(13), the Special Forces
Branch is established as a basic branch of the Army effective 9
April 1987."

The establishment of the Special Forces Branch marked the
formal recognition of SF as a distinct branch within the Army,
separate from the other branches, with its own identity and
career path.
