Few know that the Army National Guard has two Special Forces Groups. The 19th SFG (Airborne) and 20th SFG (Airborne) are accessible to civilians and prior military from any branch wishing to undertake the long and arduous path to becoming a Green Beret. Moreover, recently separated Green Berets can also join.
